Prime Cut Steak House
This is a favorite place for dinner with Margie. Food is always good and staff is always very accommodating. As usual we had the private room. Holds 14 people and it was full. Wines brought were full also. 21 wines and 13 people drinking. I am still having issues post Covid so no wine for me tonight. I did sniff a few but didn't dare drink.
For some reason tonight seemed a lot noisier than in the past. Not sure why. Maybe another post Covid issue. Room looked the same. But there were several "chatty cathy" females having a good time and that did not help the noise level.
I ordered the Australian Sea Bass sans the sauces. It came with mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans. For being a bland dinner the fish was very good. Everyone else's plates looked really good with all the sauces and accompaniments. I was a bit envious.
Have no idea what the wines tasted like. The two 2011 Cabernet Sauvignons were the hit on my end of the table. Interesting comparisons, Australia versus Washington State. I have made no comments of the wines.
