| - Came here to celebrate an achievement and have to say, it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.
We had the choice of sitting in the dining area or the "lounge" area and opted for the latter. There was a bar, high-top tables, booths, more festive lighting than the dining area, as well as live jazz music. The musicians were great and made the night fun for us!
Service was great from beginning to end. Started off with bread/butter and a couple drinks. The Maverick cocktail was delicious and refreshing, garnished with cucumber and a jalapeƱo. We ordered a half-dozen oysters, of which they had a decent variety. These weren't anything exceptional but they got the job done.
The real winner here was the meal. We ordered a 12 oz. filet mignon steak with a cognac-peppercorn creme sauce, the Norwegian salmon, a side of asparagus with hollandaise, and a side of broccolini. The steak was beautifully cooked to medium-rare and almost dissolved in mouth. With the cognac-peppercorn sauce it was incredibly delicious and we wanted to get another one! The salmon was flaky and cooked perfectly. Albeit a bit fishy, it was accompanied with vegetables and a mustard vinaigrette which definitely elevated the meal. We cleaned both plates!
A huge shoutout also to our waitress, who upon hearing of the achievement we were celebrating, brought us a dessert...on her! We chose the butterscotch panna cotta and I think it was the best dessert I've ever had. The caramel-like butterscotch sauce danced effortlessly with the panna cotta and walnuts. The dessert included a coconut macaroon and a biscuit, which we used to mop up the chocolate sauce "Congratulations" written on the plate. A perfect ending to our meal!
