| - My wife and I were in town for the weekend, so I checked yelp for a steakhouse recommendation. The positive reviews for this place caught my attention, but the prices on the menu really hooked me. Went on a Thursday night (not busy at all, btw) figuring, OK, decent meal at a decent price, nothing more, nothing less. Let me tell you, this place absolutely BLEW ME AWAY!
Our server Sami was very pleasant and very attentive. The restaurant is small, nice decor, just fancy enough. The first thing you get is a small sample of steak, I think more to highlight their demi-glace sauce than anything else. Seriously, who gives an amuse-bouche anymore? Impressive! Sami then tells us they have a special that night - a 32 ounce porterhouse for two, two sides each, and two Caesar salads.
$49. No, that's not a typo. And, honestly, the normal menu items aren't much more than that. And the sides are included in the menu prices, which is a pet peeve of mine with fancy a la carte steakhouses.
Cutting to the chase: this was an absolutely excellent steak! Perfectly cooked, accompanied by bearnaise and demi-glace sauces, both very good. I had a potato gratin that was spot on!
Total for dinner and two drinks: $70! I wish I could give this place 6 stars just for showing that you can have a nice meal at a nice place without breaking the bank!
