History

Atlanta, GA
So why create a blog? Well, those close to me know how passionate I am about my food...eating food, to be more precise. 15 years ago I discovered the joy of dining in restaurants which boast a unique ambiance and delicious food. I first started tracking lists of great restaurants when I lived in Columbus, OH in the mid 90's. I was fortunate to dine at Cameron Mitchell's, Fifty-Five, Bravo, Rigsby's, Barcelona, and many more. I read in local newspapers about the best Places to be Seen, to Celebrate, to Impress, etc. and formulated my "to try" list. This hobby continued in Birmingham, AL and again when my travels brought me to Atlanta, GA ten years ago. I started a Supper Club with close friends in 2000, trying a new restaurant every Thursday night. We had one simple rule in the club, “no chain restaurants”! After three years of stomping through Atlanta's best and worst restaurants, we realized that this weekly tradition was becoming too expensive to maintain (go figure!). However, in 2005 I started making notes of my dining experiences for personal reference. To make it easy for my friends to get my recommendations, I thought I would try blogging. So...here goes!

9 Overall Rating - Red PrimeSteak in OKC 7/11/12

Ambiance: 8
Very cool ambiance. Open floor plan with neon red accent lights throughout the restaurant.

Food Quality: 9
They offer one of the best prix fixe menus I've ever seen! For $39, you select from each of the following categories, but unlike most prix fixe menus you're offered a really good variety from the main menu.
- appetizer
- entree
- side dish
- dessert

The bread was served with velvety smooth, warm butter which was speckled with salt.

The Chop House Salad was deliciously unique. I would definitely recommend it.

I opted for one of their steaks. What's really amazing about this experience is you get to choose both a crust and a sauce. I decided on the Bleu Cheese Crust and the Brandy Mushroom Sauce. In addition to all of that, every steak is served with roasted garlic cloves (OMG)!!! The mushroom sauce was incredibly delicious! I have to admit that this was one of THE most enjoyable steaks I've ever had.

As my side dish, I chose the Flash Fried Baby Spinach, which I found to be mediocre and greasy.

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy my dessert which was the Strawberry/Peach Meringue. I should have listened to our server and ordered the chocolate dessert instead.

Service: 10
Don and Karen are regulars at this restaurant, so the service was superb!

Value: 9
The prix fixe menu is absolutely the way to go. I would give this a 10 rating for value, but if you decided to order off the menu, you should plan to spend some money which is why I rated them a 9 on value instead of 10.
