Courtside Steakhouse had the pleasure of welcoming a panel of foodies and culinary connoisseurs a few weeks ago. They were treated to an array of our delicious options. With a sampling of our finest appetizers and main dish entrees, topped off with a bottle (or a few bottles) of wine and a sampler of dessert, this group got to test the variety of outstanding options served at Courtside. Here is what they thought of their dining experience:
“The tomato and mozzarella salad is phenomenal! I love the sweet onion and dressing paired with the salad. The portion was reasonable and perfect for splitting as an appetizer or having just as a salad.” - AM on the Caprese Salad
“What stood out for me on the sliders was the smokey ketchup, a unique touch to the trendy sliders.” - AL on the Wagyu Beef Sliders “The beef sliders were a great start. The onions and ketchup added to the delicious taste of the burger.” - KB on the Wagyu Beef Sliders
“I’m not a big fan of escargot, but these are amazing and the presentation is so unique.”- JT on the Escargot “The presentation of the escargot was really unique and the garlic sauce kept it tender and really delicious.” - AL on the Escargot “Loved the escargot!?! This is not something I would normally consider, but it is delicious. The way it is presented on sticks with mash potatoes at the bottom of the serving bowl is very unique and easy to eat. I highly recommend this as an appetizer.” - AM on the Escargot
“Very fresh. They taste like they were harvested today.” - JT on the Oyster Rockefeller “Deliciously fresh! I loved the oysters. They are the perfect app to pair with a glass of wine.” - KB on the Oyster Rockefeller
“Because Courtside ages all their meat for 21 days, this Rack of Lamb had a very distinct taste, without being too gamey. The rack of lamb was complimented very well by the mint demi glace and was cooked to a perfect medium rare. If you’re a rack of lamb fan, I would definitely recommend this dish. The portion size is perfect and it’s a great alternative to your typical steak dishes.” - JS on the Colorado Rack of Lamb “This is HUGE! The panko and lemon caper sauce really compliment the veal.” - JT on the Tuscan Veal Chop
“The sea bass was light and flakey and complimented perfectly by the hazelnut and frangelico crust. Touches of sweet and salt made me want to keep eating, way past full!” - AL on the Hazelnut Crusted Sea Bass
“I would recommend the truffle mac and cheese as a side which gives you that perfect creamy texture you want in a side dish.” - JS on the Truffled Macaroni and Three Cheese “Mac-n-Cheese is a sophisticated take on the ultimate comfort food.” - JT on the Truffled Macaroni and Three Cheese
As you can see, the dessert was a hit. I guess everyone was too full for words?
