The first all-hands steak night for 2009 was at Rosebud Prime. Not to be confused with one of the other Rosebuds further north where one might have hypothetically checked one’s coat only to be left to wonder “Where is everybody?” We started with bacon wrapped scallops (very good), crab cakes, lamb and something indeterminate but otherwise coconut crusted. They were out of Stella but otherwise have a solid wine selection.For both courses the service was slow for a night where we were one of 6 tables in the place but it was a great chance to catch up and reminisce about past steak nights: dogs barking at Mortons, Rays locked in garages, the stranger.I’m often there for lunch – the jalapeño corn chowder is excellent – but this is the first steak I’ve had there. I have to recommend the cajun bone-in ribeye. It wasn’t what I ordered but after a bite of what I had, I knew somehow that it was meant to be. It’s getting more difficult to rank these nights in any particular order but I think it’s safely closer to the tail end of the list than the top. Eagerly looking forward to comments on this one. Until March, gents,
