Side Salad w/Sherry Fennel Vinaigrette
|
 |
| 10oz. Aged Sirloin |
His & Hers: His- Our meals came with a side salad. It was a pretty standard garden salad and very fresh. The sherry fennel vinaigrette was very tasty but thick.
Hers- The salad was typical, and the dressing had a nice tangy kick. Good start to the meal, as was the Bulleit bourbon on the rocks I had.
Hers: The
Aged Sirloin I ordered was fantastic. It came with pommes dauphine (the two hush-puppy looking spheres that were really fried mashed potato balls), fresh asparagus, and the steak itself was topped with a crimini mushroom demi glace. Definitely one of the more classy and fancier meals I've had in town. The steak was cooked perfectly and I could eat the potatoes until the cows come home. No complaints about the meal itself, just the idiot horse people that were there being drunk and rowdy that night. Also, our server/bartender Alex was really cool and entertained us the whole time, so that was a good distraction from all the screaming red faced diners.
The Verdict: While the clientele were obnoxious, the food made up for it. Just be sure to make a reservation before making the trek--or not, and take a seat at the bar & say hi to Alex. Be sure to tip him well.

| Braised Beef Short Ribs |
His: I got the B
raised Beef Short Ribs. I very much enjoyed this dish. The ribs were cooked perfectly, very tender and moist. It was served on top of a cauliflower mousse line and seasonal vegetables, which happened to be zucchini and green beans. The cauliflower mousse line was the best surprise of the dish. I never had cauliflower this way and found it to be very creamy and delicious, I wanted more. The sauce was a house made veal stock and complemented the beef divinely. The only problem I found with this dish was the amount of fat on the short ribs. I know ribs have fat and the fat adds taste to the beef when cooked but I don't really like eating it.
The Verdict: I would definitely recommend this dish and try the cauliflower mousse line with it but be prepared for the fat if you mind those things. Also, make sure you make reservations or you will have to eat at the bar, but at least the bartender is nice.
