$$$$Price: Moderate • Steakhouse • Watertown
Opening night (12/16/24) was excellent. The host/hostess were welcoming and friendly- asking guests how they heard about the place and if they were local, etc. The menu is simple- $34.95 for steak (cooked to order) plus yummy rustic bread, salad and shoestring French fries. Oh- and some amazing secret sauce on the steak. Nice selection of wines- I enjoyed a cab. I was about half finished with my (rare) steak and a server stopped by and filled my plate with more steak and fries (complimentary second serving is standard). I knew there would be the need for a to-go box. I eyed the desserts at the next table- huge slices of chocolate and carrot cake. When I finished my steak, I struck up a conversation with the couple at the next table. They also couldn't decide on dessert. They ordered the carrot cake and I ordered chocolate cake- we asked for a few extra plates and shared so we could all try both. Maybe a bit unusual to share desserts with another table but it worked for us and the servers were very accommodating. Both cakes were amazing. I loved the limited menu- it makes the entire experience efficient. I was impressed with how smoothly everything went despite new staff and it being day 1. Chatted with several employees and everyone was friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back. Free surface and garage parking at Arsenal Yards.
