Restaurant Experienced - Roast

Who wants to see what a 30oz. bone-in porterhouse steak looks like?

Roast porterhouse for two!

At this time, it is appropriate to rearrange your dinner plans.  This steak was phenomenal; cooked to perfection.  To me, consistency and attention to detail are two of the most important qualities that a top-of-the-line restaurant must embody.  I ordered this monster medium-rare.  I got a medium-rare steak.  I was thrilled.

Aside: It is a personal vexation when a waiter or waitress asks what temperature I would like my entree and proceeds to serve me a steak however the cook felt like preparing it.  If I am just going to get a piece of well-done steak no matter what I say, then why bother asking?  In fact, why even ask me what meat I would like?  Just bring out whatever you feel like overcooking.

 This was not the case at Roast...

Restaurant Experienced - Iridescence

The crab cake.  Such a simple dish.  Some crab meat, some veggies, some starches, a little egg and some bread crumbs.  Mix it all together and fry it up.  Yet, somehow, it does not always come out looking like this when I try to make one:

Juicy, hearty and stunning!

At Iridescence, located on the top floor of the Motor City Casino And Hotel, the presentation of each dish is immaculate.  It feels like a crime to dig into each one.  The colors so vibrant, the garnish, decorative pieces, the dining room and the plates are all elements that make eating at Iridescence more than simply a meal.  Just as each waiter or waitress explains prior to taking orders, he or she is truly there to "guide you through the dining experience" that is refection at Iridescence...
