Review: NYYSteak

By Rich Herman, rmhpat@comcast.net

This new column will review at least one local restaurant and
also offer activities in the area after you dine - for a complete
evening.
Restaurant type: Upscale Steakhouse Euro Hair Pros
Motivation to try: So many new steak places, time to revisit 7500 WEst Camino rEal

Results: Superb. Private. Simple Elegance.

you admire an open and attractive kitchen. This place is special.
The experienced server fulfills your requests and the food will
satisfy even the harshest critics.
Rather than mention a few dishes, you can be assured that
your taste buds will be ecstatic. Naturally, there are options
besides steak. Some salads are unique and side dishes are large
and do not disappoint.
Other: Wine list is award winning. The cost is in line with
similar type establishments. No issue with sharing. Their aged
steaks are displayed for viewing upon entrance. Before or after
dining, a lounge with music most evenings adds to the total
package. The Yankee wall outside the establishment is not to be
missed as signatures of many iconic athletes are nicely displayed.
Indoor complementary parking lot. Reservations available until
late evening.
A home run.
After: Restaurant is adjacent to a casino. 
