When our entrees arrived I tried to sneak a peek into the kitchen, hoping to find somebody's grandmother in there loading up the plates. When the waiter casually mentioned it was 26 ounces, we believed him. The steak, beefy and flavorful, was served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and a toasted onion and horseradish custard. It was very good, and the leftovers warmed up nicely for lunch the next day. The lemon cous-cous on the side was a nice contrast and a good way to soak up some of the sauce.
Desserts are as hefty as the rest.
A chocolate mousse was the epitome of chocolate. Creamy, rich, intense. The dish was scraped clean. Conjure up a picture of bread pudding, then throw it out. Bread pudding done by Stripes is about the size of a big coffee mug, large streaks of chocolate running through the pecan-enhanced bread.
