text: The fivestar rating I give it is not because the wait staff is phenomenal they are not but because the food absolutely is You will wait and wait you will beg and ask the dishwasher to please dear God bring you your beer but you will NOT leave disappointed in the food nnMy boyfriend and I went last night Saturday evening and the wait was nonexistent We were seated in a beautifully designed dining room at a large table We waited and waited and waited on our first beer but we were okay with that because we would been at the bar drinking before dinner anyway The waitress was polite enough and seemingly efficient but then would wander away waiting on the tables around us while we fantasized about another drink Eventually we got one more nnI do not want to harp on the waitstaff but when you present a beautiful place with an outstanding menu and wow the prices then you expect to be waited on accordingly No not here Anyway onto the real star the mealnnOrdered some East Coast oysters The waiter said the oysters from the West Coast were smaller and we like our oysters to have something to bite into soGot the oysters and they were TINY I do not want to know what the West Coast were like Regardless these were the best oysters I do believe I have ever had the pleasure of eating There were not enough and in my estimation with the way those tasted never will be enough I could have eaten them for days As Rowan Jacobsen says at some level it is not about taste or smell at all Because an oyster like a lover first captures you by bewitching your mind These are those oysters Get themnnWe then ordered the oz dry aged bonein rib eye Wow wow wow WOW It came out cooked a little more rare than we asked medium rare and while usually that much red in meat makes me shy away it was hardly relevant with this steak It melted in my mouth Every taste was better than the one before I have never ever eaten a steak that tasted this way I was considering going full vegetarian but after this steak there will never be a chance of that I have eaten at Cut Ruths Chris Mortons BLT and many many more None have ever come close to the steak I had at STRIPSTEAK None As a bonus my BF ordered foie gras to go on top Listen if you asked me to trade sex for a year for all the foie gras I could eat from this restaurant well let us just say I would miss my BF a lot It was THE best thing that has ever touched my lips and I mean that with everything I have If you do not get this you are missing out on the most divine dining experiences you could possibly have I have to stop talking about it Moving onnnI cannot skip the sides we had with our fabulous meal The potato puree trio lobster sour cream onion horseradish was as stated a puree and I tend to like my mashed potatoes with a little more body but these were out of this world The flavors were subtle and smooth and really now I will never want to eat garlic mashed again THANKS A LOT STRIPSTEAK We also had the truffled mac and cheese Speechless It was the most divine taste of truffles in any dish I have ever tried with them The musky earthy flavor was just enough I ate the whole thing sorry honey nnOkay the letdown here was the dessert but you really do not go for the dessert anyway right While I do not remember what they called it we had miniature donuts with a couple of dipping sauces While I have had this dessert elsewhere and loved it here it fell flat and really should not be on a menu as amazing as this Avoid nnMy suggestion is if you want to round out your experiences with great steak RUN do not walk here This place sets the bar for it
