First off, Happy Birthday Peach!
I didn\’t know what to expect from The Silver Fox. I had heard their commercials on The Hardline. I had seen that they had multiple locations. This is usually not a good sign. Except for Ruth\’s Chris, steakhouse chains tend to be on the order of Texas Land and Cattle. However, what I didn\’t know was this was an offshoot of III Forks — my all-time favorite steakhouse.
So, simply put, this meal was fantastic!! There are certain things I must order when I go to any fine restaurant/steakhouse. So let\’s see how The Silver Fox did on Steve\’s Steakhouse Checklist.
- Saphire Martini — It\’s hard to screw this up. And they didn\’t. It was big and tasty.
- Crabcakes — I have to order them wherever I go. And these were the best I\’ve had all year. Better than Truluck\’s even.
- Porterhouse, medium rare — I always get a porterhouse for the fillet side and the strip side and the bone for Alex. Perfectly cooked with my preferred topping, Oscar — asparagus, lump crab with Béarnaise.
I was too stuffed for dessert, although I had a bit of the creme brulee. It was OK. I\’m not a huge fan of creme brulee, though.
I wish I had more to say. This place is great. Is it the greatest steakhouse ever? Probably not. And I will still go to my preferred Truluck\’s. But it does the job and serves up a tasty steak and a very nice scallop. And the service was great. Everything you can ask for in a steakhouse.
