| - Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... CUT!
We shared the corn salad starter. Now, corn salad sounds so terribly unappealing to me - but it was the one salad the three of us could agree on. SO SO SO SO GOOD! Mmmmm.. corn salad!
And then the bread tray. I heart bread trays. We sampled all the bread but my heart and my taste buds have pledged allegiance to the fresh baked, soft, doughy, salty pretzel bread. The best thing ever. So good. the nice waiter actually put six of the pretzels in a container for us - which we snacked on the entire next day - just because we couldn't stop gushing about them.
There was a small cheese-puff amuse bouche that came out after the salad. It was yummy.
For my main course I had the filet mignon, cooked to perfection. Seriously. Perfect. Delicious. Wow. I mean... WOW! What a great steak.
While we each ordered sauce - I had the bearnaise (yum), my friend had the horseradish (good) and my sister had the steak sauce (a bit sweet for me) - we truly didn't need it... what your server doesn't tell you is that they will bring out various mustards - lavender, etc - and that the mustards are just as good as - if not better than - the sauces.
Service was impeccable. Attentive but not in your face.
My cocktail was okay. I think it was called a Hemingway. It didn't blow me away. Neither did the mille-feuille the three of us shared... It was okay, not great. A let down, actually. The cream was delicious but a mille-feuille translates - literally - into a thousand sheets. As in "lots of pastry." And this had maybe 5 sheets. Maybe not. I would have skipped the dessert and gone somewhere else. Finally, the sides were a mixed back. The creamed spinach was good, but not great. The yukon potato puree was tasteless... the peppers and mushrooms were DEEEEELISH. Please, do everyone a favor and order them. mmmmm.
So, 5 stars for theservice, the meat, the bread and the salad.
4 stars for the sauces.
3 stars for the cocktails and sides.
2 stars for the dessert.
4 stars overall... I'll be back, but I still prefer CraftSteak and Nero.
