Excellent Steak!

We tried a new restaurant last night to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. Hubby booked us in at One 11 Chophouse in Murray Premises downtown. It's a traditional style steak house where they have several options for steak (some can get very expensive) and the sides are all ordered separate. There are other entrees available as well which come with their own sides.


All I can say is WOW! One of the best steaks I have ever had and I didn't order the most expensive options either. Everything about the restaurant was great from the food, which was top notch, to the excellent service and wonderful atmosphere.



We decided not to order appetizers as I find steak very filling and would rather eat dessert :) We had a mini cod fritter each that came out compliments of the kitchen; these were delicious and would be a great addition to the appetizer menu, hint hint :) We also had fresh made focaccia bread with olive oil which was fantastic. I love these little extra touches at a restaurant, and this is why the prices are higher. (Yes, I know, the bread has gluten, sigh, but it was sooooo good).

For our mains I ordered the 6 oz Tenderloin as I love that cut of meat and prefer a smaller steak. It was fantastic; the taste was wonderful. Hubby ordered the Dry-Aged 12 oz Strip-loin to try and he loved his as well. We went with 3 sides to share; the Market Vegetable (which happened to be kale that evening), the duck fat fries (because how can you not order fries cooked in duck fat) and the Potatoes Mille-Feuille (which was liked a mini scalloped potato deep-fried). The sides tasted great as well, but keep in mind they are pretty small. The only negative we had was we ordered our steaks done medium-rare (I always order rare) due to the cooking descriptions on the menu, and we both found the steaks over-cooked. They were still delicious but not as rare as I expected based on their own descriptions. Next time I will be ordering my meat rare :)
For dessert I tried the Flour-less Chocolate Cake with a bacon whisky maple ice cream, along with a decaf coffee with Baileys. The cake was excellent but the ice cream was a little odd for me. As much as I love desserts and bacon, I find them odd when paired together. The coffee was excellent as well. Hubby had the Bailey's Panna cotta, which he loved. He wasn't even having dessert until I ordered it for him because I wanted to try it as well and then he ate it all.
Overall, this was a fabulous meal. When you want to get out for a nice dinner, or a special occasion, or just a great steak; give this place a try. We will be going back again :)

    My name is Michelle and I am tired of struggling with my weight. I am stopping the struggle.
    This blog began several years ago as a healthy lifestyle change (really, diets in disguise if I'm being totally honest). Now it is evolving into a non-diet blog and that makes me extremely happy.
    I have recently started this new way of thinking. There have been some bumps in the road, it hasn't been easy, I still question, but I am still learning. 
    If you struggle with weight and have issues with food and body image than join me on my journey. Hopefully we can learn together :)
