| - I've been eating at Eldorado off & on for years. I am definitely a fan on quite a broad scope. I've always enjoyed:
~ Their Titorita (they are ideal for me as I prefer vodka to tequila)
~ Their amazing fried chicken (perfectly crispy without the greasy factor & very balanced seasoning)
~ Their brunch (Eldorado eggs, YUM)
~ And their Bloody Mary (one of best in town, and I don't even like Bloody Mary's).
However, the reason for my review on this particular day is the unbelievable meal my husband and I had last Saturday. It was their special of the night and it really was perfect - we wouldn't have changed a thing. Literally - not one thing! Well, the only thing I would have changed is that I would've taken a photo for all of you to gaze upon, but I was so excited about the food, I totally forgot. Okay okay, time for details.
The special was a thick cut New York Strip with tarragon butter, a side of asparagus and their oh-so-good garlic mashed potatoes. It was such phenomenally prepared food that I actually wanted to scream, with happiness obviously, but I held it in so as not to scare the other customers. So here I am happily Yelping rather than yelling. ;o)
The steak was tender & SO flavorful - prepared exactly as we both requested (medium rare). I'm pretty sure it had been marinated as well due to the colossal flavor profile. The tarragon butter melting on top of the steak just sealed the deal. Too good!!! The asparagus was sweet, a bit crisp and dressed with a light yet spicy oil. GOOD! And, as always, their garlic mashed potatoes never disappoint. It truly was a perfect meal - one of the best I've ever had at Eldorado. Here's to more of that!
P.S.
Our server was excellent!
