After a lot of drinking in the earlier part of the night, I was craving some seafood (King Crab legs to be exact). So I left the hotel and started walking.
It was about 10:15 on a Friday night, so I knew my choices (that I knew of) were limited...
I saw about a block down a large sign that said "Steaks and Seafood". I had heard of this place in ATL, and I quickly checked my Yelp app to make sure it was still open. I had until 11PM. I wanted something good to eat in my last night in Charlotte...
I know they probably thought I was an asshole for coming in drunk and late, but I promise, I made it worth their while :) .
Got seated immediately (told em to put me wherever was easiest, so I sat in the bar area- and I got to watch the Braves finish off their game :) ). The decor was nice, but not what I expected! It had tiled flooring, dark woods, and dim lights. The place was nice, I just was expecting wood floors throughout (what the hell am I saying, I sat at the damn bar area). Just ignore this paragraph.
I think my server was Sara(h), and she was very nice. The one thing I noticed after scouring the menu- they DIDN'T have crab legs :(. However, they had crab cakes. So I got one for an "app". I was so hungry, I ended up getting a 14oz strip and a lobster tail. I also got some more beer.
The crab cake was moist, and I really enjoyed the iwouldliketocallitchutney that accompanied it. That thing was gone in a matter of 2 bites.
Thankfully, the steak and lobster tail came out quickly after (which was surprising hence the size of the cut). It came with some humungo asparagus too. Unfortunately the damn pic I took of it was too blurry, so it didn't make the cut. The steak itself wasn't bad (hell I ate the whole thing)- and was trimmed perfectly, but I wished it had a wee more seasoning. The asparagus were alright, but they filled me up. But I tell you what- that damn lobster tail was probably the best thing I had there- it almost completely made up for the fact they didn't have crab legs.
Thankfully, I didn't wear out my welcome, and they were cool with me ordering dessert- so I got the apple crisp thing. It was damn good, but I wish it had some more ice cream (hell, I was buzzin and had a sweet tooth!).
This great experience only lasted 40 minutes (I got outta there right before the doors shut!)- which was awesome- usually a meal like this would last at least twice as long! My total was around $96 (for 2 tall boys, app, surf n turf, and dessert) and let them know how much I appreciated them taking me in.
I will definitely have to come back here if I get the chance to- maybe they can procure some King Crab for me next time :)
Cheers!
