The past few weeks have been super hectic at work for both A. and me. Anddd we’ve been eating fish and chicken throughout the week. Not that we’re complaining, but I guess we randomly decided that we deserved a steak dinner tonight. Hahaha.
We initially tried walking in to Steak and Frice, but the wait was too long, so we decided to walk over to Raging Bull instead.
Except, when we got there, we were surprised to find out that they only served burgers?! HAHAHA. Turns out, we were at Raging Bull Burgers, and the staff told us that the steakhouse was inside Shangri-La. 😂
So off we went to Raging Bull Chophouse & Bar, where we were seated right away.
We ordered the Raging Bull Salad, Caramelized Onion Soup, Potato Gratin, and, of course, the Porterhouse. I also got steamed rice for myself because apparently, even at a steakhouse, I still need my rice. Hahaha.
The salad had a nice mix of greens, Gorgonzola, Parma ham, candied walnuts, and a cider vinaigrette. The Caramelized Onion Soup was rich and savory, topped with Gruyère crostini, while the Potato Gratin was creamy and cheesy. Both were so good, but together with the steak, they were definitely a lot of food.
The kitchen also sent us a complimentary salmon spread of some sort. I’m not entirely sure what it was called, but it was a nice little surprise!
And then there was the Porterhouse.
It was HUGE. The steak was thick, very tender, and seasoned so well. It also came with different sauces, which went really well with the meat. Every bite was delicious, and it was one of those meals where you just pause for a moment because, wow, this is really good.
We only managed to eat half of it and took the rest home. After the steak, the potato gratin, and my rice. oh and the salad. there is no room for dessert.
All in all, we really enjoyed the night. After weeks of hectic work, it felt rewarding to slow down, have a really good meal, and spend time together without thinking about everything we needed to get done.
Sometimes, you just need a good steak dinner to remind you that all that hard work comes with its little rewards.
And honestly? I’m feeling pretty energized for the week ahead. ❤️
