Dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A little after 6 p.m., Lyd and I went down to the lobby to secure a cab to the Yachtsman Steakhouse. The desk clerk wanted us to walk over to the Contemporary until I insisted she call the cab. There was a gentle rain, but that didn’t affect the trip over. We were seated quickly and Bev was our server. Lyd started with a Beefeater Martini (8.25) and I had a pair of Maker’s Mark Manhattans (10@). Lyd had The Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail (19), Old Bay-poached, with lemon and house-made cocktail sauce. I started with a Caesar Salad (12) of crisp romaine, parmigiana, coppa ham, and focaccia croutons. For her entrée, Lyd chose the 8-ounce Black Angus Filet Mignon (49) with mashed potatoes and a cabernet wine sauce; with a side of Truffle Macaroni & Cheese (12), suitable for sharing, and a glass of Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 12 (16). I had the 16-ounce Prime Rib-eye steak (54) with brioche, bone marrow and Point Reyes Blue Cheese Butter, a side of Sauteed Mushrooms (9) with garlic butter and a sherry wine sauce, and a glass of Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz, South Australia ’09 (13). We didn’t have room for dessert and took a taxi back to the hotel. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
