text: I had a very good meal here but nothing blew me away Given the reputation of the chef and the price paid that is disappointing My friend and I were seated about minutes after our reservation time Dana White and a group of UFC fighters were dining in the restaurant as well during the time of our visit In fact I came pretty close to smacking the guy in the crotch when he walked by our table and I was in mid stretch So yeah as other have mentioned the tables are packed pretty close together here In addition to nearly smacking a guy in the crotch the closeness of the tables also meant hearing a lot of other peoples conversations The nice older woman next to us started to tell some of the most expletive filled stories after a few glasses of wine I did like that it was a relaxed atmosphere for fine dining My wrinkle free shirts had not stayed as wrinkle free as I would have liked in my luggage and being sort on time I put on a black tshirt and tried for the Steve Jobs look I thought I would look out of place but lots of people were dressed casually nnOur server was in a bit of a rush at first All of his tables were sat at the same time including ours but later in the night as things calmed down he came over and chatted with us for a bit The guy was right on with all his suggestions The service was good overall nnFor appetizers we had the lobster fritters and east coast oysters The fritters were lobster wrapped in bacon fried and served with butter lettuce and creme fraiche You know anything made with that combination of ingredients is going to be good and it was but it was just good I am not usually one to talk about the concept of a dish but when I am in a place like Stripsteak I am hoping for something unique This dish did not strike me as being anything that unique as much as it was a bunch of delicious stuff that got fried We also received our complimentary fries and while they were all good the one that really stood out was the truffled onennMy friend and I both had the bonein ribeye as our entree Hate to say it but it was slightly overcooked I kept cutting into it hoping it was just the char from the wood burning grill that made it seem less pink than a medium rare should have been but my steak was mostly medium until I got very close to the bone This was a shame since it was a very good cut of meat My friend had his with foie gras and it was a great combination He also had the chipotle scalloped potatoes recommended by our server and they were excellent I went old school and got a baked potato The overcooked steak was probably the biggest disappointment of the nightnnWe were both stuffed but after such a heavy meal I wanted something sweet to end the night We both went with the beignets I had the one with chocolate pudding and Macallan I will eat anything with Macallan in it It was a decent beignet A little bit denser than I would have liked but probably done so because it was intended to be dipped into the pudding Again a good dessert but nothing amazing The best part was probably the Macallan My friend had the same thing but with creme brulee instead of puddingnnSo yeah that was pretty much the story of the night Good food and good service but nothing we had really wowed me My friend raves about his steak with foie gras but it was his first time having foie gras so I guess we all remember our first time I think the only item that was really memorable to me was the truffled fries
