We went specifically for the Chateaubriand special for 2. It came with a shared appetizer (we got the Caesar salad), the chateaubriand (sliced into 4 large pieces), 2 sides (we had the lobster Mac & cheese which had an up charge and bacon & cheese potatoes au gratin) and 2 desserts (we chose the Morton’s hot chocolate cake and the cheesecake). It was so much food that we took home some of the sides and all of the desserts. Everything was delicious!
