| - We've known about Steak 44 since they opened in April, however, had never been there. We've sort of written off expensive steak houses in the Valley because we make better meats and fish on our infra-red grill at home than can be found at most steak houses. The last time we ate at one of such referenced places (I will keep the name nameless) I sent my $50 salmon back two or three times (I RARELY send food back to the kitchen, but at $50 it was going to be edible) and ended up not eating that night, as by the time all was said and done our entire group had already finished their meals. Because it was my husband's birthday, and the menu looked good and reasonably priced, we decided to break our grudge towards over-priced steak houses and give Steak 44 a try. Wow!!! What a pleasant surprise! The menu had so much to pick from, it was hard to decide what to order. The food was outstanding (wait till you try their bread!), as was the ambiance and the entire staff. Our server was a lovely young woman named Ibki (I apologize if I have the name misspelled) who was not only professional, attentive, genuinely friendly, but was also extremely knowledgable about the entire menu and wine list-- she hit it out of the ballpark with her red wine suggestion! We will definitely return to Steak 44, though our lack of desire to go back to other upscale steak houses remains. Treat yourself and give Steak 44 a try, you'll be hooked. BTW... they also offer a tremendous Happy Hour in a beautiful surrounding.
