Disclaimer: A client of ours, who is a regular player at the Suncoast invited us for dinner that was comped from the casino.
It sure is fun when you run with the right crowd. This client of ours is a regular at SC Prime. We were the first to arrive and just waited at the bar. When the client arrived, she was greeted with great enthusiasm by the Maitre'd and we were quickly whisked off to a corner table with a view and a small staff at our disposal that also knew her well. Now that is service!
As mentioned before, the clientele of this restaurant is towards the elder generation and thus shows the shortage of of Yelp reviews.
I placed two orders for myself at her insistence:
Ribeye 16 oz
Maine Lobster Tail (large)
Asparagus
Mac and Cheese
This was not a combo surf and turf, but rather two separate orders. The steak cooked medium was tender and juicy as a ribeye should be. The lobster tail was about 24-32 oz before cooked size. I usually like the smaller tails because they are usually more tender and this tail was quite good given it's size. Mac and cheese was....cheesy good, but I still had better. Kind of strange, but IMO, the best mac and cheese I ever had was from a place called the Pasadena Cafeteria when I was growing up in SoCal. So far, no soul-food place or steakhouse has a better mac and cheese. There was so much food leftover, I was able to have a steak and mac lunch the next day.
My wife ordered her typical broiled salmon with a baked potato and asparagus. Who the heck orders seafood at a steakhouse??? I had a small sample of the salmon and it was fresh, flaky, and juicy. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Food 4.0
Service 5.0 (this was our most memorable part of the experience)
Average 4.5 but still not quite a 5 for me.
I wonder how our experience would be if we just went by ourselves?
