text: I thought Charlie Palmers was great but I did not think it blew me out of the water like this is the place I need to go to for some delicious meat nnWe were seated at a small table Luckily my husband asked to move so that we could easily enjoy our meal with all the elbow room needed We started off with the oysters and tuna tartar Everything was on point and I could have had another half dozen oysters easily They put just enough salt on the oysters to give it enough flavor Tuna tartar was great No stringy bits and it went down pretty smoothly nnI wanted the surf and turf and that is what I got My filet was pretty dang tender at medium rare and the lobster was good The ritz cracker stuffing with the lobster was not my favorite though It was really salty My husband requested his steak to be medium rare as well but it looked like medium well to me He did not want to send it back and it was gone by the time I finished so I assumed he enjoyed it somewhat The Parmesan potatoes were a bit of a disappointment It looked delish but the lack of seasoning was a turn off It just tasted like mashed potatoes with no flavoring and a cheese crust on top The artichokes were ok It was nothing worth yelping about I asked my husband how the sausage tasted in the artichoke and he said that I would not have enjoyed it It looked like Vienna sausages from a can nnThe smores bar was on the cut of the week menu which is neat and budget friendly I asked for that and they made it happen It was not overly sweet and pretty good The cookie ice cream sandwich was alright I love soft cookies and I know hard cookies work well with ice cream sandwiches nnOverall service was good It did take some time for them to pick up my check but they have a lot of people working there I am just not sure I would choose CP as my go to steakhouse nnPS The Pom martini was delish
