Last night my colleagues and I visited this quaint little steak house hidden in the vast confusion of Tysons's Corner (McLean, VA). The decor was rustic and comfortable, but some of the furnishings are due for an upgrade. The menu and wine list were very selective - making it easy with a group of people to server everyone's appetite. This being a steak house, red meat is what I wanted. With a nice selection of 5 different cuts of beef, the 22oz. "Heavy Cut" Prime Rib ($27.95) was my selection for the night. This came with a standard side salad that wasn't anything special to brag about. Table bread was offered, but the table also had crackers and some sort of cheese paste that tasted dry and had me feeling that it wasn't "real" cheese. The service and timeliness of food was acceptable. My prime rib was cooked perfect (Medium Rare), but after having prime rib for years this was the first time I've ever seen it served on the bone. This added some good flavors, but also made some of the meat along the bone more undercooked than the rest. This all being said, the meal was good overall. Not sure the steak was completely worth the cost, but given this was McLean, VA it was on par with most steak houses in the area. Overall a good experience and I'd recommend giving it a try.
