This used to be one of my favorite steak places to go to in Cleveland ever since the filet sandwich at the Cleveland Wine Festival (which sadly RIP)... but the quality I remember didn't quite match up this time... Maybe since I haven't been here in quite awhile but still. The customer service is excellent and deserves a 5 star. Our waitress was great except the drink menu didn't state pricing so we asked prior to ordering, and instead of finding out she guessed the prices for us only to find them on our bill for $5 higher. The drinks were ok, but definitely not worth the extra $10 totaling us to $30 for 2.
We had a creamy butter on a dish come out alongside a giant onion bread ball .. The inside was hot and fluffy and it was delicious.
They had a great deal 3 courses for $36 for the July 4th holiday week...And considering the price of just our entrees alone were atleast $36 it was pretty cheap compared to normal days.
My beginning course for the special was a five onion soup. It did specify in a cup so it isn't the usual size you think of for French onion crocks. But the flavor was amazing and it's one of the best I've had I must say.
For my entree I ordered the filet mignon rare.. It came cooked perfectly, and very tender, just didn't have much flavor to it aside from the A1 i smothered it in.
Our sides were pretty huge and I got a horseradish mashed potato. Again not much flavor but decent nonetheless. I got super full fast from everything so was only able to have a few bites from my potatoes.
I also had ordered the escargot... I'm a snail lover I guess. I order it everywhere I see it on the menu. Wasn't as great as last time.. It's served underneath a puff pastry in a butter sauce which isn't bad but I can do without that next time. I suppose it gives the slimy part a bit of a crunch to go with it but, eh. Escargot are good alone to me, but my boyfriend told me otherwise lol.
Our dessert we got to go... Which I found out was literally just a mousse topping... I assumed it was a mousse cake but I should stop assuming and maybe ask next time. Wasn't bad but wouldn't pick it next time.
My only downfall was the price of the meal.. It's a bit too high for the quality. And also when our leftovers were bagged up they only gave one of our sides when we clearly had double what we brought home. So I don't feel I got my money's worth.
All in all it was a good experience. Loved the waitress, food not bad, and the inside was very nice. (My favorite was the dead pig lamp centerpieces on the table lol)
