| - It's just a terrific steakhouse. One of the most upscale, all around dining experiences in Phoenix.
It's expensive. Very expensive. But probably worth it. Figure $150-200 for a couple.
I had the double filet medallion with blue cheese melted and a wine demiglaze. Absolutely outstanding, amazingly tasty meats. Equal or better than Morton's or Ruth's Chris or Capitol Grill (that's on the menu for tomorrow night). Smashed potatoes were very good but nothing to write home about. Veggies were pretty good.
Started with the ceasar salary, with a big pile of anchovies. Perhaps the best Caesar I've ever had.
Desert was the mouse cake. Good, but not to die for.
Their happy hour is also an excellent value. Come before six and drinks are half off, and they serve little mini steak sandwhiches, which are very good.
Hint: If you have kids, go to happy hour and have a drink or two. Cocktails are in the $7 range happy hour price. Cucumber cooler was quite nice for a cocktail. Let the kids eat the sandwiches, and then head to the dining room for a couple of filets. The kids are pretty full, you are nicely primed for a great steak, and the complete lack of a kids menu doesn't matter.
Honestly, otherwise, there really aren't any good kids options. I know, it's not a great place for kids, even well behaved, but sometimes you want to celebrate a special occasion with family.
It would be nice if they offered a mini-filet for 12 and under for like $15, or a burger and fries for $10 for the kids. Just a thought.
Anyway, great experience, great food. A really upscale, while linen, old style steakhouse kind of place to have prime beef.
