On a Friday evening, we decided to have dinner at Strip House Midtown, few steps from Grand Central. We had a reservation and were bit early; we had to wait until our table was ready, but observed several couples coming without any reservation being seated before us. The person at the desk explained that she was waiting for a good table for us: ok, I would give her that, our table being quite comfortable, on one of the corners upstairs, overlooking the restaurant.

I started off my meal with an espresso martini that is their signature cocktail, made with Grey Goose vodka.

As an appetizer, I got a crab cake that was served with a chipotle mayo, and pickled carrot and celery root. The crab cake was quite good, the crab not being overpowered by tons of fillers.

For her main, Jodi went for the Bibb lettuce salad with goat cheese and pear, sharing some sides with me. The salad had a nice presentation, but there was not much cheese in it.

For the sides, we shared the Mac and cheese that were really good, creamy and cheesy, the drunken cremini mushrooms and the the 1000 layer goose fat potatoes that looked very appetizing but were not as good and tasty as I expected, the outside being crispy, but, unfortunately, the center was slightly undercooked.

My ribeye did not come at the same time as the sides that I started to eat while waiting. It had a nice pepper crust was more medium than medium rare. With a nice char, it was tender and juicy: this was worth the wait.

Everything took a while to come, so we decided to skip dessert, although we already had our sight on their chocolate cake. This was a bit disappointing considering that overall, the meal was pretty good. I’ll have to go back another time and hopefully, we will make it to dessert.

Enjoy (I still did)!
