| - Seriously, Steak 44 has some of the best beef I've had in a long time. Add the swanky atmosphere, superb service and delicious sides and desserts to that and you have a fun and mouthwatering night!
After poring through each delicious item on the menu (I seriously wanted one of each, can I just order a whole cow and work my way through?) I was intrigued by the steak farina. I like steak, I like eggs, so I should like steak with egg on top, especially if it's a 28 day aged bone in filet mignon! I also got the corn creme brulee as a side to complete my meal. As for appetizers, we shared the crispy shrimp.
The complimentary bread we had was delicious. It had a savory buttery top with very soft dough. The shrimp came next and were fried perfectly, with a light crunchy batter and just the right amount of sauce, with a little bit of heat from the chiles.
I absolutely loved the steak farina. The filet was a sight to behold, a perfectly cooked medium-rare, gustatory delight. It was very tender and well seasoned. The actual meat had so much flavor which is impressive since I've oftentimes found filet mignon to be very tender but not taste as good as ribeye. It makes me wonder how much more flavor their ribeye has if the filet is that good! The egg on top was a perfect sunny side up, and provided some creaminess to the earthy, primal taste of the beef. Forget ordering food a la mode, I want all my meals to be a l'oeuf now!
The creme brulee corn was not bruleed that much but it was sweet, creamy, rich and indulgent, a perfect side to go with the beef and egg.
Service was impeccable and everyone was working together to make our dining experience enjoyable. A manager even came over to make sure we were happy with our meal.
Since we were celebrating a birthday they brought out a special warm vanilla cake with gelato and sliced pecans on top. Oh so good. We were so stuffed by the time we were finished here!
Even the bathrooms are super swanky and posh. This is the first bathroom I've seen that has its own dedicated hat rack.
So for some of the best steak and service around, Steak 44 is a 100 in my book!
