"3"^^ . "My friend is a Michael Mina fan and a big red meat fan, therefore, we had to go to StripSteak. We got a reservation last minute and were seated right away on a Saturday night.\n\nWe had french fries fried in duck oil, served with three different sauces (the Michael Mina way).\nThen a tasty salad and our steaks. My friend wanted to try the Japanese Kobe and I wanted the skirt steak. But he also wanted to try the American Kobe to compare, so I ended up getting that to indulge him since I didn't know when he would be able to do the comparison side-by-side again.\n\nOur waiter explained the different cuts of meat to us and even brought out the raw rib-eyes before cooking to show us the difference between American and Japanese Kobe. I guess if you're paying hundreds of dollars for meat, they're going to make sure you know what you're buying.\n\nI liked the way the restaurant was set up. The service wasn't as great as I had hoped besides the steak show. I had to signal for water a couple of times.\n\nOverall dinner and dessert were good. I guess the dessert wasn't extraordinary or I would remember it. The thing I do remember is that the next morning, I had an upset stomach. :("^^ . "2"^^ . "2007-09-20T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ . . .
