Noted chef and cookbook author George Morrone is the inspiration behind this large, striking steakhouse where all the meat is grilled over traditional hardwood. For starters, try the basket of four empanadas, golden pastry pockets stuffed with a variety of meats and vegetables. We also suggest the house-made sausages---morcilla, or blood sausage, is delightfully juicy with a mild, sweet flavor. Morrone’s trademark soups include the refreshing chilled avocado served with two head-on shrimp, while the squash blossom soup, a purée of zucchini finished with a touch of cream, is accented by pepper strips and salted chunks of zucchini. For steak, try the rarely seen bone-in filet, which arrives in classically dramatic Morrone fashion, standing on end. The dark, sizzling crust sears in the juices of the meat, which is more flavorful than the boneless variety. The spring chicken is one of the best we’ve had, stuffed with garlic and lemon and roasted whole until the skin is crisp and the meat takes on the subtle, smoky flavor of the wood. For dessert, don't miss the artisan-quality ice cream and brownie sundae for two. |
