I had no idea what I was getting into coming here. It was my wifes birthday, and I thought we should go somewhere new, somewhere really fancy. I made a reservation to Be.Steak.A and we were on our way.
As we walked in, the hostess offered us bone broth for our walk to our table. I thought that was strange, but in a good way, especially since it was delicious bone broth. The drink menu had pictures of random celebrities, which was fine, but the last thing I wanted to see before eating was Beyonce. That's no reason to take any stars off this review, however, if it was a picture of Jay Z I had to look at, it would be a different story.
Our waiter was Luke, and he was a very down to earth guy. A total professional, with superior knowledge of the extensive menu, but still down to earth and easy to talk to. Typically at restaurants like these, that's a rare quality in the wait staff. He really understood what type of experience we were looking for, and made some great recommendations accordingly. Without his type of service, the meal might not have been as good as it was.
The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, as I requested. My wife had the Iberico plate, which was recommended by Luke, and it didn't disappoint. I had a side of the pork fried rice (A favorite of Lukes) and I couldn't believe how high a common dish such as that was elevated here. We also had the bone marrow for an appetizer and another side of mashed potatoes. Again, I couldn't believe mashed potatoes could ever be that good, and the bone marrow made me want to gnaw on the bone like a dog, but I didn't. OK, maybe I did a little when people weren't looking. I'm an animal, I didn't belong there, I'm only an elite on Yelp, not in real life, leave me alone.
If you're looking to splurge for a birthday, or if you're just an overpaid silicon valley tech person who can afford it, I recommend you check this restaurant out. They treat you like royalty, and the food is out of this world. They even bag your leftovers like a present, with gift wrap and all.
Ask for Luke, give him a big tip, and ask him to make some recommendations for you, you won't regret it. His jokes aren't bad either, be down to earth, and you might be lucky enough for him to tell you a few. It's back to Wendy's for me until my birthday when I go back, see you in August Luke!
