BLT Steak

bltC – I’d like to direct your attention to the popovers in the photo above. Free with any meal at BLT Steak, these could easily be mistaken for the highlight of your dinner. In fact, they’re so popular, BLT provides the recipe in the form of a cute, branded card. But don’t be fooled, the popovers are good, but the steak is the real center of attention here. (Also, don’t eat the whole popover. Rookie mistake. Never fill up on bread even if it is laced with Gruyere.)

I got the filet mignon during my most recent visit to BLT and it did not disappoint. Weighing in at 12 ounces, it’s easily the largest filet I’ve ever been served. Paired with Bearnaise sauce, I couldn’t resist eating the whole thing. Nothing left for the doggie bag.

BLT Steak is expensive and everything is a la carte. So, this isn’t an every week kind of restaurant. But on special occasions, or when you just want a really good steak, it’s the place to be. Bonus: great atmosphere, hopping bar scene and good selection of beers.
