well I suppose this guess sucks.

and here I originally thought that 325ish would be too much.

Sounds great. Hopefully I'll visit NYC for the first time soon and will try it out.

I was going to the Penthouse Executive Club steakhouse on Saturday. This might sway my decision.

LOL saw the white when i quoted you....Wolfgangs is great but that Steak joint at the PHC is unreal. The steak is ok but who could ask for a better atmosphere...

Word of advice, get a table by the glass and get a seat near the glass so you can watch the stage...Oh and it doesnt hurt that you can have girls feed you steak all night

ENJOY AND IM JEALOUS!!!

I used to work right at the south end of stone street. that whole little street is great but Ulysses stands out as a great addition and a cool after work scene...During the blackout it was like girls gone wild.

So, here's what we order.

Wine: Clos du Val Cabernet.
Appetizer: 3 slices of thick, delicious bacon.
Main Course: Porterhouse for 2, Medium-Rare.
Sides: Creamed Spinach and Cottage Fries.

Waiter brings our wine, which is delicous.

Oh yeah, we have some bread. Tasty.

He then shows up with our bacon. He says "one of the pieces was small, so I added another" and then gives us two slices each. MONEY! Why can't more waiters figure out stuff like this? (BTW, a slice of bacon goes for $2.50) The bacon is delicious.

The rest of the meal arrives. The steak is great, as expected. I have some dipped in the butter and juices. Then I have a couple slices in the Wolfgang's sauce, sort of a cocktail sauce w/ horseradish. Really delicious. Then a couple more slices plain. Then a couple more w/ sauce. Steak for two means more than enough steak for three.

The creamed spinach was insanely good. Best creamed spinach I have ever had. Some creamed spinach is like greasy sauteed spinach. Other creamed spianch is almost like spinach dip there is so much cream. This was a perfect blend.

The cottage fries were great. Looked much better than the german potatoes at the next table. Thanks for the heads-up, jnalpak!!! I'm surprised that none of the reviews mentioned that they were basically potato chips, though. Essentially, these are huge potatos sliced into huge slices and fried like super-big super-thick potato chips. Awesome.

We ate just about all of the steak, most of the spinach, and about half of the cottage fries. Then we finished off the meal with a couple of double espressos. Dessert was out of the question.

Excellent order for two...oh yeah the cottage fries are large potatoe chips fried [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

another tip for those going...order the steak medium-rare and then when the plate comes, VERY HOT PLATE. Take some steak and seer it on the edges if you want more medium then medium rare (I think i have a problem...hehe)

An appetizer of bacon? Hmm, that was unexpected.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. This is interesting. But I like bacon. More places should do this.

[/ QUOTE ]

In my experience, this is usually the Chef, or Sous Chef's decision. Then, the waiter will take credit for it on the floor.
