A very pleasant surprise. They are new, and there are a few kinks to work out, but Steak and Stone made every effort to make sure we had a great experience. It's a top notch steak dinner. Once the service is refined and as the staff settles in, it'll be superb. Even last night, on New Year's Eve, we had several wait staff attend to us and make sure we had everything we could want.
Why did I try it? The steak, and it didn't disappoint. The tri-tip is smoked before being cooked on the stone at your table, and the flavor was to die for. With the smoke in it, it really didn't need any sauce. But the waiter brought out the bourbon glaze that was carmelized on the meat while cooking at my seat, and whoa! It took the flavor to another level. Also tried a delicious homemade sweet BBQ sauce and a tangy in-house made mustard sauce. All were great, but the flavor of the smoke tri-tip alone? Heaven.
The salad was tasty. Loved the croutons. And the garlic mashed potatoes were good as well. The cobbler would have been great if the sugars had carmelized on top.
But if you want a good smoky steak? Come and get the tri-tip. It's one of the best steaks I've had in a really long time. All of the cuts of meat looked like super high quality cuts. I'll be back.
