| - I chose Steak 44 for my Grandma's 80th Birthday dinner. My boss has been here many times and has been raving about it, so when my Grandma proclaimed she wanted steak for her birthday, this was the first place that came to mind. The Hubs and I have been to Dominick's, so we figured to expect something of that caliber and we were right. The staff leading up to the big dinner was extremely help. They confirmed our reservation multiple times and accommodated my request for a quiet table (past the kitchen in the back). The set-up was perfect and we were seated right at our reservation time.
Our waiter was very patient and helpful. He was friendly, but not overbearing and answered any and all questions our party had. My sister and I shared the filet, the "mashed," and crème brule corn. Everything was hot, cooked to our specifications, and delish. I especially loved the corn. The table also shared the sautéed shrimp appetizer and potato crisps. Both were good, as was the bread, which was served hot before the meal. We didn't partake in dessert because we brought a cake, but the staff did cut it for us, which was super helpful and nice.
All in all, we had a great dinner at Steak 44. My family, including my Grandma, is still raving about it. The restaurant followed up the next day to see how everything went, which I think is a nice touch. I look forward to going back for our next special occasion.
