| - Oh so good.
Quick side note, that we moved here from CLE. I know that most people wouldn't associate CLE with great food and restaurants, but there are tons there. It is a big foodie town. So since moving to Scottsdale, we have been in search of a new steak place. Steak 44 is it. (Anyone from CLE? Think RED the steakhouse.)
Pep talk your wallet before you come here. It is oh so good, but oh so pricey.
We started out with the rolls in the cast iron skillet and the shrimp and calamari with dipping sauces appetizer. I could have stopped eating there, but I didn't.
Then we moved on to steaks and sides. My husband had the bone in strip, I had the bone in filet, and we shared the brussel sprouts and mushrooms. Both pieces of meat were amazing. They are served on a 500 degree plate, so your food is still cooking when it comes to you. I wasn't sure that the bone-in would make a difference, but it absolutely did. I really enjoyed the mushrooms too. Many people mention the brussel sprouts, they were good, but not the best I have ever had. Still, not like it ruined the meal or anything. All in all, a great experience.
We were stuffed and still had a strawberry something for dessert. It was very yummy, but my husband and I were so full at this point, we each took two bites and waived the white flag. Our drinks were also great. My husband had bourbon and I had a dirty martini.
Complete side note here, the bathrooms here are awesome. You just have to go and see for yourself. You don't get a stall, you get your own room. It's crazy!
Last, is service. It was fantastic! Our waitress was knowledgeable, fun, and made our first time at Steak 44 memorable. Love this place and hope to go back soon!
