Being the carnivores that we are, we just can’t resist a good steak. We’ve heard much about the steaks here so for this dinner, we made a trip to Prime at Le Meridien.
It is a fine setting with bright lights above that shine like starts in the sky. The large seats are plush and very comfortable, although it does feel like a fit for a giant. The wood finishes add a nice touch to the ambiance of the restaurant with it’s prompt service.
To start things off, you are served a plate of warm bread. Interestingly enough, they also serve it with their homemade butters which whet your appetite before the main dish arrives.
Before we jump right into the meat, you can also order side dishes to accompany your steak. We felt slightly guilty and ordered a bowl of creamy spinach and butter (not to say that this was much healthier, but having a side of greens is always good 
).
Anyways, here is our main course in all it’s glory, their signature dish, The Wagyu Prime Rib! Served with Idaho steak fries potato, wild mushroom fricassee and a light black summer truffle jus, you’d best share this for two or more. If you are a big meat eater, then it is for two, but if your partner does not eat as much, then this may be an overdose of meat (in a good way) . The meat was lightly marbled and every cut revealed the tenderness of the meat. I like to have my steaks natural and found this to be done rather well, would have liked darker char marks on my steak though. The juices are sealed in the steak and released with every bite.
I have to say that most of us tend to have at least two stomachs, one for the mains and one for desserts. Even after all that meat, we still had to end it off with something sweet. Scanning through the menu, we picked out the tiramisu. It was infused in a lot of alcohol which overwhelmed the taste. They did use a lot of marscapone cheese though which was very evident from the thickness of the dessert.
