not an everyday restaurant, and not everyday cooking, either. i consider this the best "romantic restaurant" in the metroplex. you can really surprise a date who knows nothing about this place when you park the car and then walk her out to what looks like a little guardbox in the middle of lincoln plaza. then you take the glass elevator down to the subterranean dining room. and if you're smart, you'll ask to be seated out on the patio, near the waterfall, under the stars. i promise, you won't hear the traffic at all. and your date will smile at the strolling bread guy with the hot-box on a leather strap around his neck. this is primarily a steak house and the food is very good, though the prices are pretty high for someone like me -- $36 for a new york strip steak, $32 for the crab crusted redfish, $12 for the deviled egg appetizer -- but you don't come here because you're on a budget. also, the prices are a little less gulp-inducing at lunch. the cider-glazed pork chop is excellent, as is the filet mignon and the veal chop. (and that covers the three times i've eaten here.) the sides -- sorry, "accompaniments" -- are very good, too, from the roasted wild mushrooms to the chili-spiced onion rings. the service is uniformly excellent, very attentive and professional. (no trainee waiters here.) no, this isn't a place i would (or could) eat at once a week, but it's a good place to store up special memories.
