Its an upscale restaurant in a small rural town. The decor had anarchy and chaos all over it. Jagged rough iron works decor with names of ahi tuna, steak, etc. on it. Scrawling testimonials by patroons raving over the food. The Sons of Anarchy were on the 72 inch LCD screen. Ron Perlman looking scraggily and cro magnon like for his role. Track lights, other kind of lighting, confusing the ambiance. Earth tones, southwest colors, southwest decor, spook fun park fonts, with pin-up bomber waitress image, and Americana diners touches left me feeling fragmented with no clear understanding what concept they were trying to get across.
What's going to tie this place together? The food. I better concentrate on the food. I ordered the prime ribeye aged steak medium rare which came with
signature salad with 5 artisan lettuces grilled red Caribbean papaya, Mangoes, walnuts, pecans, and mini, red, yellow sweet peppers,
Grilled in our secret homemade honey glaze until caramelized. The steak was done to my extreme liking, just 2 minutes on each side enough to give a charred smokey flavor to the steak while living the inside reddishly pink and juicy. The steak was tender and melted like butter in my mouth. Nice high fat content is what makes it buttery and tender. The steak was simply and elegantly seasoned, let the steak speak for itself: it said, "I'm damn good steak, relish me."
I had 2 glasses of St. Pauli Girl beer. The pairing was not to my liking, I would have preferred a dark beer with bitters instead of a light pilsner. But the lightness of the pilsner complimented the beer better since nothing should overpower the taste of the steak. I can taste the corn fields.
It wasn't cheap, but I'm worth it and I'm on vacation and I won't stay at this place again.
Menchie's Frozen Yogurt was a revelation to me like being accosted by a Church of the Latter Day Saints missionary gal (originally from France) while sightseeing in the vistor center of St. George's Mormon Temple (that's another story I'm sure you heard before). FroYo with all the fixins'. I tasted the chocolate FroYo, but went for the coconut, and pistachio froyo, sprinkled with bits of kiwi, almonds and walnuts. So fun and so delicious.
