  • I had the pleasure of dining at BLT Steak last night and must say it was Phenomenal. Everything from the beautiful decor to the warm personal service and of course the delicious food made this my new favorite steak house in the Scottsdale area. Although I must say that I have not been to J&G yet. ( I wonder how Howard Seftel can miss BLT for his top ten steak houses as I thought it was far better than his top pick.) To begin with the complimentary pate starter was a nice touch and those popovers are to die for. Now, I am quite the carnivore so I LOVE a great steak and typically get the New York strip but they offered a filet that came with sweetbreads that I couldn't pass up. It had just the right amount of char on the outside and was cooked at a perfect medium rare. The flavor was incredible and went very well with the hen of the woods mushrooms. (This is the only place I have ever found those on the menu in the Phoenix area) And the part I liked best about their steaks is that they stand on their own, there is no need to soak them in butter or in fat to give them added flavor. Although they offer a slew of sauces to accompany your steak, they are not needed but some are very tasty. I enjoyed the red wine sauce and the peppercorn but found the bearnaise somewhat disappointing. I also judge a great steak house by the attention they give to their appetizers and side items. I get bored with the typical wedge salad and boring steamed vegetables. BLT did not disappoint with their delectable hamachi appetizer and the white asparagus salad.They were both amazing to say the least. As for the side items we ordered off the specials menu which I was told is where the chef creates his own dishes from local products. The sweat corn with prawns was wonderful and to find speatzle on the menu was a real treat. I could come here and just get the appetizers and side items but then again why would I want to pass up such a great steak. I thought I was to full for dessert but my guest ordered the passion fruit souffle crepe. WOW!!!! Flavor just explodes in your mouth. We devoured it and those wonderful little chocolate petifores they give you are way to yummy. I found the service staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and efficient without being overbearing or pushy. All in all we had a great time and will definitely make this our stop for steak in the valley. As a side note it is pricey but no more so than Mastro's or Ruth Chris and I found it to be less expensive than Bourbon Steak.
