Nowak's

My husband surprised me for date night on Thursday and took me here. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to be seated immediately since it wasn't crowded at all. Although the place calls itself a steakhouse, I have to admit that I was a little disappointed in the cut/quality of my ribeye. It wasn't up to par with other's I've had for less. Not hating at all because it was tasty, and I did eat it. Just to be honest, though, I don't think I'd order steak again. We both felt that the real star that night was the seafood. We started the meal off by being greeted by a delightful man named Erchell. Couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of us. He was so nice and only wanted to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. Thanks, Erchell! We put in an order for a couple of delicious cocktails and for the trout bites. Omg, those things felt Iike pillows in your mouth! They were so moist and the batter was really delicious. Absolutely loved them and would highly recommend. We moved on to the main course. Firstly, lemme just say that I LOVED being able to get surf and turf. I ordered the ribeye with scallops on top and the husband ordered Loup de Mer. My scallops couldn't have been pan seared more perfectly, but damn was that Loup De Mer the absolute best thing of the night. The skin was so crispy and that beurre blanc sauce....YUM. Get it when you go. You don't be disappointed (You know, if you like fish and all). We're not big on dessert, but everything Erchell listed off from their menu sounded enticing. We opted out and had one last round of drinks before dipping out. Will definitely be heading back.

Best sear I’ve had on a steak. Incredibly flavorful. Wonderful service as well. Thank you!

Excellent food. Perfect cook on the filet. Solid showing all-around. Relaxing, laid back neighborhood vibe. I’ll be back. 100%

All I can say.... Wow and I am not that easily impressed. Had the fillet with green beans and potatoes. Seriously well done. My coworker had the ribs.... He lightly tugged at them, meat dropped off the bone. The price... For the area and near the city, price was reasonable. City $50, here and tasted the same as anywhere, & $35. Must go, make reservations on weekends starting Thursdays.

Good menu and great service! Our server Shomari was really outstanding. His descriptions and his attentiveness were exceptional. He anticipated every need before we noticed. The atmosphere is pleasant. One thing that stood out was the diverse music selection. Very random! I enjoyed many tracks, but the experience could have been much better if they stuck to a general genre. Going from Frank Sinatra to the Violent Femmes is not a pleasant transition when enjoying a romantic dinner. I'm guessing that the general manager is playing his iPod playlist set on shuffle. My suggestion would be to stick to a consistent theme. It really was the only part of the evening that wasn't fabulous. Thanks Shomari!
