Great steaks, nice place
2010-07-28 20 views
Always on the quest for the ultimate steak, I tried Opus Grill last week, and dragged my sister along. Starting off at the bar, I enjoyed a frozen martini while my sister had a delicious mojito. Bar snacks were tastey and thoughtful. Then I went for an all-out beef fix, starting with Beef Tartar, which was excellent; loved the pickles & matchstick fries with “chili jam” (?) garnishes. Then had the Flannery Rib Eye which was amazing. I’d heard good things about Flannery from my wine-loving friend

Always on the quest for the ultimate steak, I tried Opus Grill last week, and dragged my sister along. Starting off at the bar, I enjoyed a frozen martini while my sister had a delicious mojito. Bar snacks were tastey and thoughtful. Then I went for an all-out beef fix, starting with Beef Tartar, which was excellent; loved the pickles & matchstick fries with “chili jam” (?) garnishes. Then had the Flannery Rib Eye which was amazing. I’d heard good things about Flannery from my wine-loving friends in California who often special-ordered it for their wine-tasting dinners, so I was surprised to see it on the menu in Hong Kong. I’m a big fan of dry-aged beef and the chef prepared it perfectly with minimalist seasoning and cooked it just right, letting the delicious juices and tenderness do the talking. I was sad when the last bite was finished, but the experience lingered pleasantly on the palette. Talked for a while with the sommelier who gave a couple nice suggestions for wines I hadn’t tried before. My sister is less of a beef-eater, but she enjoyed the Roasted Chicken, very tender and juicy. We shared the Glazed Vegetables which was also nice. We had the brandy raisin semi-freddo with cashew nougatine for dessert, which was surprisingly light and a great finish to a wonderful evening.
