A fancy steak dinner.... in the suburbs

Last night I went to Valentine's Day dinner with the boyfriend. We've been pretty much every restaurant in the city, so we trekked out to Maple Grove to eat at Pittsburgh Blue. Pittsburgh Blue is owned by Parasole, a restaurant holding company that also owns Mozza Mia, il Gato, Manny's, Burger Jones, Chino Latino, Cafeteria, Muffletta, Salut, and Good Earth. The menu was slightly similar to Manny's. The food was delicious. We started out with the lump crab cakes, served with a corn relish and spicy mustard aoili. For an entree, we split the 16oz cut of the rock salt crusted prime rib, which came with bearnaise, au jus, and horseradish sauce. The meat was super think and juicy. My only complaint is that at least 2 oz were solid fat. For the ala carte side items we got the asparagus with hollandaise, the grown-up mac and cheese, and the bleu cheese hashbrowns. The asparagus stalks were thick, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. The prices were what you'd expect, and the ambiance was like any typical steak joint. It was good, but it didn't really stand out from all your other upscale steak joints.
