The staff was friendly and I felt welcome, but the food just wasn't up to par. \n\nTo start, the bread was warm and tasty, and the butter was delicious. Next I had the lobster bisque, which was just ok. It tasted more of cream than of lobster. I prefer a more modern version with lumps of meat in it, and it seemed like they tried, though I only got two tiny bits of lobster. Next, I had the Kansas City Strip Steak (bone-in). I ordered it medium-rare and it was cooked correctly. But, it looked like it hadn't been trimmed well because there was a huge piece of fat on the side (more than a normal strip steak should have). The peppercorn sauce that came with it was good, but the steak just didn't have any flavor of its own. I got a side of asparagus and they looked like white asparagus (but they weren't). The claim of jumbo asparagus was also way off... these were smaller than the asparagus I can get at the grocery store. And the ones I get at the grocery are green throughout. The b\u00e9arnaise sauce was good, though. I finished with the chocolate profiteroles. I know they are supposed to be miniature cream puffs, but boy, they were tiny (and only three of them). Size and quantity aside, they were good. They had whipped cream and vanilla ice cream in the middle, though I got the feeling they were straight from box in the freezer.\n\nOverall, I didn't get the meal I was hoping for. The flavors just weren't there. The highlight of the meal was using a 50% voucher (off main entree only) from Tix4Dinner (Tix4Tonight). The meal was $75 before tax and discount, and $57 after.
