We were very excited to out Bourbon Steak by Chef Michael Mina. We started with their trio of duck fat fries; truffle duck fat fries & garlic truffle aioli, garlic & herbed duck fat fries with ketchup,& smoked paprika duck fat fries with bourbon barbecue sauce. Wow!

Next was the signature Tuna Tartare appetizer. Fresh ahi tuna with quail egg, pine nuts, fresh mint and an Asian habanero sesame oil. The habanero is PERFECTLY balanced by the pear & quail egg to give practically zero heat; absolutely amazing! Served with toast points, & the gluten free toast for Marci was very good.

I had the 16 ounce Delmonico ribeye with red wine shallot butter, served at a PERFECT medium rare +, Marci had the roasted Chilean sea bass with an olive gremolata, asparagus tomato confit, & a basil emulsion. They were both wonderful! On the side we enjoyed the fried Brussels sprouts with a honey mustard. The baked tomato accent on the steak plate was also a welcome addition!

Desert was a Brûléed Basque Cheesecake with roasted Florida strawberry crunch, delightful!

All this wonderful food was enhanced with a bottle of Chevalier de Lascombes Margaux attended to by the friendly, knowledgeable sommelier George. Our delightful waiter, Perfect (his name), helped make this a meal to remember! We look forward to returning.

Our waitress Oana helped make this an awesome experience! I hadn’t had Indian food in MANY years, and at my daughter’s recommendation we came here. It was truly amazing. The sommelier made the experience even better. We started with an Armenian Areni, and went on to a Gigondas later in the meal. Absolutely wonderful!
