So here's the deal. I went here with my girlfriend for our 2 year anniversary.
The Service-- The service was adequate at first, but we didnt order any drinks and i feel that since there was no alcohol ordered, our waiter felt our tiny bill wouldnt result in a large tip, therefore decided to forgo doing his job.
The Food--- I started with a caesar salad, like I always do. It doesn't make my list of top 10 caesar salads. She had the caprese salad. She said it was good but the pesto glaze they put on it made it taste weird. We also ordered the garlic mashed potatoes...if it was fresh, it didnt taste that way. I could have bought a box of instant potatoes from the store and it would have been comparable. She got the petite fillet and enjoyed it. I got the 16 oz new york strip and it was the first time I have gotten that steak anywhere and ate the whole thing, meaning I didnt have to cut out that extra chunk of fat that seems to always be on that cut of meat. We decided against desert after the meal.
The Atmosphere-- Loud. Really loud. Loud enough that I had to yell 2 feet across the table to try to talk to my girlfriend.
The Bill-- After tip, we got out of there for $150. Wow. Way too much for the experience.
The After Effects-- On an anniversary, its common to want to, uh, get close to each other, as it were. However, I've been in and out of the bathroom for the last two hours with no signs of slowing down.
My final thought-- In the spirit of trying something new, I should I have stuck with my original plan of going to The Palm. I would have saved about $40, gotten a meal i know I would have enjoyed immensely and would have gotten "lucky" afterwards instead of hanging out with Johnny.
I can't imagine what the guy that ordered the 48 oz porterhouse at the table next to us is going through right now.
Pros: Great steak....at first
Cons: price, atmosphere
