I was craving a steak, so I walked down to the food park to give this place a try after reading all the great reviews. I had decided what I wanted by the time I got to the window and placed my order, the ribeye plate with brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. 45 minutes later, my number came up. I took my plate to the table and cut into the steak, right down the middle. Then took it back. On no planet in this solar system was that a medium rare steak. I't surely passed through that state on its way to well done. The guy said that he was very sorry, and would be happy to make me another. I told him that I didn't have another 45 minutes to invest in this meal, and that I would eat it as is unless, of course he wanted to refund the cost of my meal. He declined. So, I sat down to eat the food on my plate. Not only was the steak way overdone, but the brussel sprouts were crispy on the outside and raw on the inside. These were NOT world class sprouts. The mashed potatoes were tolerable. Overdone or not, the steak was tasty, due in large part to the butter and garlic in which it was cooked. The first half was juicy, but soon it dried up and the remaining portion reminded me of shoe leather. OK, then I thought, this was certainly not the best steak I've ever had (as some reviews suggest), so I asked myself was this the best $28 steak I've ever had. I came back with a resounding "No Way! Not even close."
I don't know why this place got so many outstanding reviews - unless this was just a bad night. I typically don't write reviews, but someone has to balance the glowing reports that delToro has received until now. I'll wait a month or so and give it one more try - as is my policy - in case it was just a bad night. We'll see.
