Tasting Notes
- Started with a nice Argentinian Malbec that was recommended by the bartender
- Comfy in there
- Calming music was playing overhead
- Felt a bit fancy like you might expect inside of a Nordstrom
- Feels like a steakhouse but was quiet. Filled in later (I got there at 11:30 apparently before the lunch rush)
- Very good jus that I gave a 5 at first blush but downgraded to 4 over time. Could have been hotter. I think you want the jus to be molten lava hot, Jim Gaffigan
- Hard but good bread
- Sandwich was a 4
- Not huge in size
- Overall 4
- Definitely tasted above average and left a parmesan taste in your mouth upon completion
- Sweet pickle was provided which was quite fancy and a unique, nice touch
- Parmesan nice and pretty rare as a topping on FDs
- Bartender said that the French Dip is "their most popular item" and that people freak out and get really sad when they are sold out of it.
- The salad was a little mushy
- The biggest strike against this sandwich is that it does not give an option to choose the done-ness of the prime rib. It would also be cool if you can choose cut thickness.
- I also got a Hendricks gin martini with olives and the olives were great
Summary
Bread 5
Jus 4
Non-Meat Toppings 4
Meat 4
Overall 4 Very good French dip with Prime rib but still not a 5 like you'd get from a steakhouse
