Steak & Bourbon - Downtown

We took our visiting family here to celebrate a wedding. We had a group of 15 and were seated in a very nice area, relatively private. The service we received was excellent. The music was too loud for us, unfortunately. We could only hear and talk to our direct neighbors (or yell across the table). 4 of our people were extremely hard of hearing (hearing aids) and could not hear anyone speaking the entire evening except their next door neighbor, so I would not recommend this to the older crowd. This restaurant would be perfect for a much smaller group or even just 2 people. The bread served with the beef tallow candles was delicious, though several in our group had Celiac and could not partake (nothing unusual there). We ordered a few different food items. The steaks were all perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. Those who had au gratin potatoes (several of us) unanimously agreed they were too rich to fully enjoy. We each could only take a couple of bites. The pasta Bolognese had excellent flavor but was greasy. I ordered French Onion soup (so good!) to arrive first, but it arrived at the same time as my full meal, and because I figured I would not be able to take it home I ate that first and my steak was then room temperature, so I took it home with me. The shrimp was excellent. Veggie sides all seemed to be great (broccoli, mushrooms, and Brussel sprouts were some of them in our group). Those who had mac and cheese (in both cases they were ordered as their meal and not a side) said they would not reorder as it was too rich. It might be better as just a side to something to balance the richness. So in summary I'd say mind your dairy-filled side choices, they might be too rich for some people, but they are still delicious. Definitely consider ordering shrimp or steak, you will not be disappointed.
