Let me start by saying: if Steak44 had a loyalty club, I'd already be a lifetime member--maybe even CEO (just kidding... maybe). The moment you step in, the vibe is modern steakhouse chic: dim, luxe lighting, rich textures, and enough intimate dining rooms to make you feel like you've entered your own VIP club--plus a peek through the glass-walled kitchen into the culinary behind-the-scenes.
Now, let's talk about our server: he was less of a waiter and more of a menu genius. Think Wikipedia--but for food, cocktails, and every imaginable flavor combo. Attentive, knowledgable, casually predicting our next move without being creepy--like a food psychic who just gets you.
Appetizer time! We dove right into a cosmic lineup:
* Crispy Shrimp, sweet Thai chili and garlic aioli galore--each bite had me checking whether I needed napkins or a tiny violin for dramatic effect.
* Then came the Prime Steakhouse Meatballs--a hybrid of beef and pork, family‑recipe magic, and the kind of cozy you want to keep stocked in your freezer for emergencies.
* And the Dungeness Crab Cocktail was so next-level good--with their house-made sauce and atomic horseradish, I almost kissed the plate. Literally.
These bites are the appetizers of your unapologetic dreams: bold flavors, artful presentation, and enough sauce to judge your ex's life choices. Did I mention they're not part of a sad, static steakhouse menu? Nope--they're vibrant, inventive, and total crowd‑pleasers.
Add to that impeccable service, plush ambiance, and drinks that feel like they were designed to solve all your problems (in a classy way), and you've got yourself a happy-hour worth writing home about--or, ya know, posting on Yelp Elite.
Will I be back? Without question--probably within the week. Just gotta pace myself so I can order more meatballs, shrimp, and crab without anyone judging my pursuit of appetizer greatness.
