I don't order much steak, as I like it well done and a lot of places can't get it right. My steak last night was perfect. I ordered the petit filet (7 oz.) and had it butterflied. Delicious. We were a group of 10 there for a surprise birthday party. They did a great job helping us surprise the guest of honor. And, how about this? The manager followed us out into the rain to tell my friend she tipped on top of the group gratuity, giving her a chance to correct it if she wanted. Fabulous service.
That being said, Hyde Park has some work to do in other areas:
1 - they told us they were out of pretzel bread. How do you run out of bread on a Saturday night? We made some good-natured complaints, and lo and behold, hot, fresh pretzel bread appeared. It is fantastic.
2 - the women's bathroom ran out of toilet paper, and one of the doors doesn't lock. Leaevs a poor impression.
3 - my friends ordered mojitos from the manager as they were first to arrive. Our server brought them - one taste and the look on their faces said it all. Yuck. The server (love his honesty) told us if they'd ordered from him he would have suggested they not get them. He also steered me away from ordering a margarita because they serve it in a short glass. Stick with the wine list or order simple drinks.
I will go back to Hyde Park.
