Took the GF out for Vday dinner at Hy's. Cheese toast that everyone raves about is okay but a bit soggy for my liking, I much prefer the grilled cheese at Burgoo Bistro.
Got shitty service and was seated in what I would consider the "asian/peasant" section, just judging from the 5 or 6 tables around me, either older gangster types or other asian couples out on a date. Most of their customers are older (50+) well dressed white folk.
Our server brought us Garlic Toast instead of cheese toast but owned up to it, seemed like he was having a bad day but I just googled it and apparently he's been working there for over 30 years, (older asian server) He didn't introduce any of the specials and didn't want any small talk, whereas I could overhear the female server in the other section actually earning her tip.
Had the bone-in rib steak (medium), GF had the filet mignon (medium rare), both were perfect IMO. Rib steak was juicy and the filet mignon had perfect texture and wasn't dry.
Also had the cheesecake to share for dessert it was pretty average.
Bill came to $80 each after tax + tip, Overall steaks were great but the experience was forgettable. I miss the old Morton's and I want to go back to the Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. I think I will give Gotham's a try next.
