Last month I had the opportunity to dine at Alexander's Steakhouse, an amazing steakhouse that recently received its first Michelin star. As much as I enjoy food, I can count on one hand the number of Michelin-rated restaurants that I've eaten at because they tend to be very expensive and hard to get a reservation. Luckily, I knew someone who had an "in" at Alexander's and so I was able to finally eat there. Given that it's a nicer restaurant, I did not feel comfortable taking pictures of the dishes I ate so all I can do is list the information here (based on memory, which may be deficient). Lest you all wonder if I've developed the appetite of an NFL linebacker, I went with a party of 5 people and we shared most of the items below:
Starter course
Hamachi shots - truffled ponzu sauce, chili, avocado, frizzled ginger, cilantro greens
Palate Cleanser
Shot of creamy truffle soup
Main Course
10 oz filet mignon - tarragon-mustard beurre blanc, demi-glace
Truffled french fries - white truffle oil, parmesan potato purée
Mac 'N Cheese - white truffle oil
Creamed Spinach - feta cheese, crisp filo
Potatoes Au Gratin
Palate Cleanser
Fruit sorbet
Dessert
Lemon Chamomile herbal tea
Housemade cotton candy - bubble gum flavor
