We've been watching Top Chef for years and wanted to see just how good Tom Colicchio's restaurants are for him to dish out all of the criticism. Ok- he does know he's talking about! \n\nThe atmosphere is nice, cozy and dark- very masculine decor. It was lovely. Service was excellent and friendly. I ordered a Pom Rita on the rocks and it was so delicious I had to order another one! \n\nThey brought warm, delicious yeast rolls to the table while we waited. \n\nWe ordered the tomato bisque with goat cheese and the Bibb salad with bacon and blue cheese. He loved the soup and the salad was fantastic. The bacon lardons were so good our little one kept stealing them from my salad! The salad was dressed with a blue cheese dressing, and was a generous-sized salad. \n\nFor the mains, he and I ordered the filets, medium rare. He got the corn side and I ordered the grits. The little one got the flat-iron stake, medium rare with the potato pur\u00e9e. \n\nThe food was incredible. Steaks had a great, unique flavor and the sides were delicious. Grits perfectly cooked and the corn was a nice surprise \n\nThe real standout was our little one's flat-iron steak. We ordered that because it's smaller (no kids' menu as you might imagine). The flavor was incredible. Perfectly medium rare and flavorful. The potato pur\u00e9e was also good, but he polished off the steak! \n\nWe didn't order dessert, nothing on there we had to have, but it all looked good. \n\nDefinitely have respect for the judging he dishes out on Top Chef!
