I met a few friends for cocktails in the bar and WOW! I had never been here before and was blown away. We traveled back to the dining room for dinner. It is really a country away from the bar. Excellent dining room with dark woods, white table cloths and dim lit. My friends had recommended we try the tuna appetizer and we were not dissappointed. The seared tuna had a nice lemon wasabi sauce, a hoisin made with Meyer's rum and a wasabi slaw with jicama, apple and daicon. The waiter had mentioned a steak feature that I wished I ordered. My date did order the steak oscar and gave me a bite. The crab and bernaise smothered over the steak was melt in your mouth. I was not disappointed with the Chilean sea bass, I shared, and we both liked the light sweetness from the Frangelico sauce. Dessert had us sharing a bourbon pecan bread pudding. It was more than we could handle. The sauce was great and I was glad to see the absence of raisins in a bread pudding. The service was really polished and timely. Our waiter made a great choice for wine but the wine steward was slow getting to the table. \r

We went back to the bar for a cool band from San Antonio named Chris Boss and the Fuss. It was a three piece band that was heavy on the Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimmy Hendricks influence. They Rocked! I was plesantly surprised by this evening being able to have a great meal and be entertained under one roof. I'll be bringing the guys from the office back to enjoy the cigar room at a later date.
Pros: Great Steaks, Big Wine List
Cons: Slow wine service, bar gets loud
