Description: When Al and I want to celebrate a special occasion in our lives such as birthdays, anniversaries, and entertaining someone special this is our restaurant of choice. Their specialty is wood fired steaks but their menu is no way limited to these choices. They atmosphere is romantic with subdued lighting and large booths that offer a little privacy. It has that private club feeling with dark wood, a huge fireplace and lots of ambience.
When we are feeling particularly over the top, we begin our meal with the maytag chips. These are homemade potato chips served with maytag. Bleu cheese, jalapeno cheese and a cheese sauce. Yes there are a whole bunch of calories involved but they are so good it is hard not to finish the whole plate. Another favorite of mine is the crab bisque, thick and loaded with crab, it is divine.
Salads are not included with your entrée but are offered. This is something we usually pass on because frankly they are expensive but once in a while I give in to the urge to have the wedge, a large cold wedge of iceberg with blue cheese dressing and chopped tomatoes.
Al loves the cowboy ribeye, an 18oz black Angus steak served with Pico de Gallo and red chili onion straws and Al always gets the salt lick fully loaded baked potato. I always have a terrible time deciding what to have. It is all so good. Sometimes I get the Caribbean grill, a 4-ounce filet mignon, Jamaican chicken and barbecued shrimp served with chipolte mashed and roasted vegetables. Other times I choose the grilled medallions of beef Oscar, lump crab meat, hollandaise sauce with cheddar mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. I always love their scallops and they are served alone or in combination. On the lower end of their price range they offer a barbecued salmon salad and blackened chicken penne. I have had their pan roasted chicken with a marsala demi glaze which sells for $16.95. They also have awesome crab cakes which you can have as an appetizer or in combination with other items. Really there is something for everyone here. Though not really a family restaurant, children are always welcome and their tastes are catered to as well.
If the restaurant is full and there is a long wait, we opt to sit on the bar area which is beautiful. They have a large martini menu and offer some unusual choices.
My favorite dessert is Pompeii. Don’t look for it on their menu or on their dessert tray, it won’t be there. But for those of us in the know, we can order it every time. Allow 12 minutes for preparation but it will be worth every minute. This decadent little cake of deep dark chocolate will explode like a “volcano” when you cut into it. Out will spill liquid fudge and brandied cherries. It is the best thing I have ever tasted.
