A steak dinner always melts my heart, but this South American steak dinner had me in awe. We made dinner reservations for 8pm at a small, intimate restaurant called @brasasteak.
This restaurant definitely has limited seating, but it just make it that much more intimate. They even have a table to dine in at as soon as you enter, and I was so happy I didn't have to sit there.
Jesus was my server for the night, and he was awesome. He explained the specials for the night, answered all of my questions and was very attentive.
The blueberry mojito was my drink of choice to start, which was one of their specialties. They also brought out their version of a dinner roll, which were more like cheddar biscuits.
For "Apertivos" (appetizers), I ordered the short rib mac 'n cheese. Whew child, those toasted bread crumbs on top were a perfect touch. Foodies, I also tried Tuna ceviche. Let me explain why this is such a big deal. I've always wanted to try ceviche, and more so than ever these past few months. Also, I hate tuna, so this was a challenge. Oh boy, it was stunning. Not fishy at all, very smooth, nowhere near what I was expecting. Their ceviche is made with yellow fin tuna, avocado, watermelon and citrus!
For entrees, everything is A la carte. I of course ordered the special, which was LAMB! It was very tender and cooked perfectly. I also ordered the caesar salad with grilled romaine, chicken skin chircharron, basil, shaved parmigiano, and my fave bread crumbs. I also ordered the Chuleta, which is a grilled pork chop. MAN the flavor was breathtaking-- and it was put together very well. I even think the pork chop out did the lamb.
For the sides, I could not leave without trying the grilled carrots and fresh corn. And if that was not enough, I tried the s'mores chocolate pie with an espresso martini.
Had I known I would be eating this much, I would've worn a dress, not high waisted pants. Ladies, dress comfortably, If you plan on attending!
