 Grill 23 ushers the classic American steakhouse into the twenty-first century. Yuppies and board chairmen hold court over huge slabs of meat. Big red wines flow like chatter on the trading floor. While we like the show, we relish the fare, too. Chef Jay Murray is no chop chump: though the steaks are the stars, the whole menu is a class act, from grilled dayboat scallops to truffled tater tots (which Murray was one of the first chefs to introduce locally) to elegant sweets like white chocolate semifreddo. Cuts of meat range from skirt steak frites to bacon-wrapped sirloin to a 24 oz. porterhouse, while salmon, pasta, meatloaf and chicken with risotto round out the entrées. A notable wine list balances showpieces with genuine finds. The upstairs private dining suite is an elegant touch. Across the board, Grill 23 delivers blue-chip consistency. |
