I knew the meal would be delicious (enough people rave about it). I also knew it'd be expensive, but we decided that this special occasion was worth the splurge.\n\nTo be quite honest, everything went great. The waiters/waitresses were kind and welcoming. The complimentary garlic bread was awesome. The guys serving water were on the ball the entire night - literally we'd take a sip and 2 seconds later someone was filling it back up. Our waitress explained the menu for our first time and gave great recommendations. She was patient with us. The ambiance was dim and romantic. A little loud, but no louder than any other restaurant.\n\nMy wife got the filet mignon Oscar Style and I got the bone-in ribeye. We also ordered Cesar salad, lobster Mac and Cheese and corn br\u00FBl\u00E9e to share. They brought out lobster mashed potatoes instead of Mac and cheese. I normally wouldn't have said anything, but I reluctantly told the waitress because the mac and cheese was literally the only thing on the menu she knew she wanted. The waitress apologized. Surprisingly, she told us to enjoy the mashed potatoes and that the mac and cheese would be right out. Whoa... awesome! No biggie right??\n\nAfter dinner, the waitress brought out a dessert. The plate said \"Happy Anniversary\" on it. She said, \"We wanted to surprise you with this. I hope you enjoy it.\" Very cool of them! We did enjoy it.\n\nThe waitress gave us the bill and, turns out, she CHARGED US for the dessert ($8) and lobster mashed potatoes ($27). I figured it was a mistake, but I was too embarrassed to critique the waitress again, so we just paid for it. Today I received a call from Steak 44. They said they saw that they accidentally charged me for those items and that I'd see them refunded on my card soon. Very cool!! \n\nI highly recommend Steak 44."^^ .
