| - I've been to the Brock House over the past few years a handful of times, usually for dinner talks, but other times for celebrations with coworkers.
Last week I went back to the restaurant for a work dinner talk. There was some appetizers on the table when I arrived and they were bruschetta - it was kind of cold, but delicious.
afterwards we had 3 courses for order. I chose to have the salad, 10oz prime rib and the dessert was a default for everyone - waffles with chocolate semifreddo.
The salad was good, it wasn't anything special about it - basically just some tossed greens in a vingarette dressing. some of the other people ordered the soup, but I noticed most of them did not finish it, so perhaps it wasn't anything pariticularly special.
The prime rib, i have to say, was quite good. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and for 10oz, it is a big piece of meat. It came with some mashed potatoes and vegetables. the mashed potatoes were good, quite flavourful, the veggies were alright. I liked that they were not overcooked. as for the prime rib, I definitely enjoyed it a lot. I coudl only eat half of it though, but they were able to pack it for me along with my mashed potatoes. The only thing is the crust (outside) edge of the prime rib was obviously where the flavouring was heaviest, so I didn't really like that part at all and I ddin't eat it because when i tried mixing with the meat it was still too salty for my liking - overpowered the flavour of the beef.
the dessert was quite good. the waffles were okay, but I found them to be a bit on the hard side (they weren't that soft and fresh). the chocolate semi-freddo was delicious, though for my personal preference it was a bit on the sweet side, but nonetheless, this chocolate semifreddo SW was a nice way to end the evening on :)
