S at the Majestic

Last night Derek and I, Bev, Bob and Cathy went to S at the Majestic for dinner. Deborah joined us later for an appetizer and a glass of wine. I was a bit put off from the grease stains on the menus. Clean menus, clean restaurant. There wasn't any bread or an amuse bouche to start.

We ordered an International Trio of Dips to start:
Asiago and artichoke dip ~ bruschetta ~ sundried tomato and olive tapenade ~ garlic toast points ~ grilled flatbread.

Three of us had Pistachio-Crusted Chicken: Anjou pears ~ pancetta bacon ~ triple creamed brie ~ mango chipotle drizzle ~ whipped potatoes ~ sauté of vegetables.

Derek had Grill Beef Tenderloin:
8oz. filet ~ wild mushrooms ~ cognac demi glace ~ chili oil ~ whipped
potatoes ~ sauté of vegetables.

Bob had Big AS S Steak:
16oz. rib steak ~ Guinness mushroom and onion sauce ~ tempura cajun
onion frites ~ garlic whipped potato ~ grilled asparagus ~ charred
sweet peppers ~ grilled tomato

For dessert:

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding
Caramel sauce ~ chocolate fudge ice cream

The kitchen had run out of bruschetta and substituted a red pepper dip. It had way too much onion. Derek said his potatoes were cold. The bananas in the dessert tasted way overripe. Although the rest of the food was tasty, I wasn't blown out of the water by it. I probally wouldn't return there.
