| - Donald wouldn't be pleased with this resturant.
We were in a rush to get to XS, so settled for DJT in the Trump Hotel (where we stayed). Service, ambiance were classy & impeccable. There weren't too many people (weeknight), so we got a private booth. Booth comes with covers that you can pull to cover the whole party. Very intimate and waiters are super nice to be courteous as to not interrupt anything.
Everyone ordered their prix fixe (~$35 for app, entree & dessert).
starters: we had starter bread. bread was cool to the touch but had several choices: rosemary, french, olive. Favorite was the olive one.
apps: a simple salad with sliced tomatoes drizzled with balsamic vinegar. fresh salads are a win win in my book.
Main Dish:
--Shrimp w/ halibut w/ a side of salad: Large fresh shrimp with a nice sized slice of halibut. Pretty good, but on the salty side.
-Steak n fries: Pretty standard aside from the steak being too salty. They did do the medium rare sear perfectly, though.
-Scallops: Apologies for forgetting what sauce it was in but overall the scallop was fairly well with minimal charring. The cream sauce it was in
was overwhelming though.
Dessert:
Brulee w/ berries -- they gave one on the house. The brulee was so creamy and yummy. It's a simple dessert, but one done well.
Overall.. okay. I think it tries a little too hard to be something that it isn't - e.g. fancy high end dishes (but not actually offering really unique items). However, if you're in a pinch to go somewhere and you're staying at the Trump, then DJT isn't a bad choice.
