New Restaurant in Town

Just had dinner an the Hyde Park Steak House here in Buffalo. Wow, Everything was perfect. Except the server did not know the difference between bordelaise and béarnaise sauces. Oh yeah there was the not so relaxing view of the parking lot from the center of the dinning room. The executive chef is Bobby Anderson from the Hells Kitchen TV show. As for the food, very very very good. Great quality and perfectly cooked. My wife and I shared the crispy calamari with a sweet spicy Thai sauce. We each had a salad, hers was mixed greens, roasted beets, goat cheese and pancetta with a citrus vinaigrette. Mine was the Hyde Park chopped salad, basic but satisfying. The 7oz Filet was seared in an 1800 degree broiler and finished to a perfect medium rare. My Prime Prime Rib was indeed Prime! Perfect marbling, done to perfect medium and flavor. Both served with crispy fried onions and we added roasted wild mushrooms, just awesome.. We passed on dessert and were sorry after seeing a piece of the colossal cake that went by our table as we were getting up to leave. It is a gigantic 1/8Th of a cake about 8 inches high. Dark chocolate cake with a rich chocolate frosting and sprinkled with nuts on the outside. WOW, great job to Bobby and the whole team. We will be back!
