Yeah, maybe I’ll catch a little hell for reviewing a restaurant with “steakhouse” in its name, and not trying any of their steak. I had been craving pasta all day, and there was pasta written as one of their offerings on the chalkboard outside the front door. It was a deciding factor to give it a shot. I shall try the steak on a future visit.
We started with an appetizer of calamari. I love calamari...most of the time. I can say that the breading and accompanying aioli were fantastic, but the squid itself was very thin, hard, and chewy like jerky. It was terrible. I would never recommend getting this appetizer.
I had the carbonara pasta and it came with two strips of hard bacon on the sides of the bowl. No bread. The flavor was good. Nothing special. The pasta itself was cooked good. My girlfriend had the smoked salmon Caesar salad. Presentation was very nice. We love smoked salmon, but this salmon was super salty and we couldn’t finish the last floret of salmon strip, which I think is the first time we’ve ever been unable to eat a piece of salmon set before us.
The restaurant’s ambiance was nice and the service was very friendly and attentive. I do want to come back and try their steak. I wouldn’t, however, come back just for any of the dishes that I have already tried. I already know that there are better options in town for those particular items.
