It's been a couple of years since I last ate at Grill 23 but I acted tonight on the lesson I learned then, and which I'll now share with you: don't eat a starter, tempting as the raw bar is, don't order lots of sides, comforting as they are. Just order the biggest steak your wallet and stomach can stand and await to be transported to carnivore heaven. Boston is rich with steak places, Capital Grille is just blocks away and there's Mooo for those who want something less clubby. But really, why? Grill 23 is hard to beat for style or the quality of the steak.
So I went for the 24oz porterhouse, a steak for all seasons. It was a perfect medium rare and though I only ordered mash with it there was a scoop of tobacco onions on the plate and a token of greenery too. I just about got it all on me.
That said I did also manage to fit in a small cashew caramel tart which was rich, tasty and sensibly portioned.

yami!
ReplyDeleteHey eating well. Thanks for the great post, glad that you enyoyed your dinner and saved room for dessert. Next time in please make sure to ask for our General Manager Jason Babb, so we may thank you in person, and make sure that Chef Jay Murray personally brings you some sides to enjoy with your steak. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, but I'd feel a bit weird about eating sides for free and then blogging what I thought. I will be back next time I'm in town though and I'd love to say hi to Chef Murray.
ReplyDeleteFree!! Who said anything about free. :)
