It was our anniversary, so we decided to celebrate it at Hy’s Steakhouse downtown. We did street parking, but I guess there’s complimentary valet parking – that’s the sign I saw when we came out. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but it doesn’t matter. Hy’s was decorates really nicely, and with the open kitchen concept, it made it really fun for us to sit and watch them prepare our food!
We sat down, and I decided to order a girly drink, but virgin. I settled for the Pina Colada which was fun as they kept calling it “juice”. It doesn’t matter, it looks pretty and tastes great!
For our starter, we chose their Jumbo Prawn Cocktail which was amazing! The prawns were about the size of my head (each), and they were perfectly prepared and quite fresh!
I settled for their Filet Mignon Beef Wellington which was adorable! The perfectly baked pastry with the steak inside – cooked just the way I like it. It was very memorable and I would claim the best one I’ve had so far!
My husband decided long time ago that he was going to have their Steak Diane which is prepared tableside. As he likes his beef “rare”, it took no time for them to make. The beef was absolutely tender, the sauce was amazing, and overall perfect as well!
Just in case we weren’t full enough, we decided to have a dessert as we were celebrating a special day, and the food was so good, it didn’t hurt to try their Cheesecake. The waiters recommendation was perfect, as the cheesecake was just the way I like it. Light, fluffy and cheesecake tasting!
Our overall experience here was top notch! We haven’t found a better place for steak yet! We know a few places that come close, but I have to put them at the top of my rank books right now!
