Grill 23

My dad came into town today, and we had dinner at Grill 23 along with Keith, Mike, and Snezhana. Get ready for the BIGGEST ARTHUR HUNGRY POST EVER. Here goes...

pear cobbler pear cobbler Dunno where to begin. The appetizers were great all around. I haven't had foie gras since I was in San Francisco. Mike's steak tartare appetizer was tasty... pieces were cut larger than usual, but very good. Dad had a good clam chowder, and Keith had a very good fried calamari. They looked pretty normal though. Basically everyone had the Kobe steak... when I see Kobe on the menu, I just can't say no. It was really good - not quite the same as in Japan, but still excellent. We also ordered a ton of sides, including fries, onion rings, hash browns, creamed spinach, and fried green tomatoes (pictured with the steak). They were good. Especially liked the fries and the onion rings. Spinach was less creamy than usual. But... THEY PUT KETCHUP ON THE TOMATOES. No. Sorry. That is unacceptable! Desserts were nice too. Several people had the grape sorbet. I had the panna cotta, which was very smooth... I like panna cotta a lot. Dad had the cobbler which was alright. More to come tomorrow...
