The crab dip usually comes with soft pretzels to dip in it. The server told me she didn't know what to bring me as a substitute, so I suggested celery. She told me they didn't have celery. That was funny because there was celery on the veggie platter that our group ordered. After the crab dip was delivered, I grabbed some celery off our veggie platter & dug in.
It was served in a tiny cast iron pan. The cheese was crispy with maximum stretch. I love a crispy cheese right out from under the broiler. The flavor had a tiny kick, but mostly cheesy crab. I don't like things too spicy, so this was perfect for me. It was big enough to share with a friend, but I didn't share. I actually took half home for lunch the next day.
I chose the filet mignon medium rare with no steak sauce for my main course. I don't care for steak sauce to begin with, but I also didn't trust it. The steak was cooked perfectly. My only complaint was the pepper "crust" it had. It seamed like it was over seasoned with pepper. You can see half cracked peppercorns in the picture. And perhaps they meant to crust it with pepper, but maybe it should have been a finer grind or around the edges instead of on the top & bottom.
I believe that too much pepper is what bad cooks use to cover up their mistakes. This steak would have been ten times better if the dry seasoning was much less. Not to say the steak was bad, because it wasn't, just that it could have been better if I could taste the steak more and less of the peppercorns.
