In search of quieter steak satisfaction, I repaired to the Oak Room at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, one of the most beautiful, perfectly proportioned Beaux-Arts rooms in the Northeast. But once you do, you're in the hands of tuxedoed veterans who know exactly what they're doing. No grand cuisine here, although the elegance of the room and the polished but unpretentious service could certainly support it. As he implied, the ribeye was dull and fatty compared with the other two, but none of the three could boast notable flavor, and the 16-ounce New York strip was not particularly soft. Don't expect this to happen any time soon, though.
Chefs already get cross enough when diners ask for menu changes.
