Default Re:Harrisons Steakhouse / Spiga Review

I went to Harrisons for a Spice dinner on Friday night. I have to say that this place has to be one of the best bang for your buck during Spice.

To start off the meal we ordered a bottle of Campo Viejo Crianza, which complemented the steak very well. We went through 2 bottles of it. It was very smooth for a red wine, not too dry, not too sweet.

For appetizer I had the Calamari which I think was very well flavored and very fresh. It came with a dipping sauce on the side which I didn't like because it tasted similar to a peanut sauce and I've never liked peanut sauce. It really didn't even need the dipping sauce, I just squeezed some lemon on it and it was perfect.

Next we got a small salad which was not on the spice menu but was a welcome surprise.

For my main course I ordered the 16 oz New York Strip (medium) with a baked potato on the side. The steak came out with a whole roasted garlic and worcestershire sauce on the side. Unlike the steak I had at Smith and Wollenskys recently, this steak was cooked perfectly. As Level stated, they know how to season their steak. I easily could have eaten the steak with nothing on it and been very happy but I went ahead and spread some of the roasted garlic on it and I was in heaven. I ate the whole steak and left the baked potato, lol.

For dessert I ordered the cheesecake which was very good and I also had a bite of the chocolate cake which was good as well.

If you are in the mood for a good steak, I highly recommend you go to Harrisons, especially during Miami Spice. I looked on the regular menu and my steak alone would have cost me $38. For $35 I got a whole lot more food!
