Great food and service here! We thoroughly enjoyed the wine, starters and entrees that we ordered!
The meal started with freshly baked dinner rolls in a cast iron pan paired with black truffle butter, roasted garlic and olives. The bread had a nice crisp to the outside and warm cottony dough on the inside.
For starters, we ordered the smoked octopus, fried calamari and crab cakes. If you are looking for something more substantial, the calamari is the way to go! The dish itself and each ring of calamari was huge and perfectly fried! The crab cakes were the perfect texture, and the octopus was unique and served on a hash brown like piece! Let's just say that with our wine and starters, we were quite satisfied already!
We appreciated that our servers constantly checked on our progress, never rushing us to finish. They timed the serving of our dishes perfectly, and always asked before they took our dishes and cutlery away.
For entrees, we ordered the xxi chophouse select cut steak, lamb, Cornish hen and ny strip loin. All of which were cooked to perfection (medium rare as requested). The seasonings were flavourful and supplemented the flavour and texture of the meat perfectly. The portions were also much larger than we expected, and were served with potatoes and vegetables. We definitely left beyond satisfied!
The only issue reason why I gave them a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 is because they did not come to fill our water glasses as frequently as we would have liked and the restrooms are shared with the doctors house (outside of the restaurant and upstairs in the venue). But all in all a good experience!
I would definitely recommend coming here for their steaks, although you need to be willing to pay for the quality!
