I'm hardly on the cusp of being a dining tastemaker in this foodaholic town. I follow the pack like everyone else, and I'm making this concession because I had never heard of celebrity chef Tyler Florence's upscale steakhouse until it showed up on a recent episode of "Check, Please! Bay Area". It looked like solid American fare in a white tablecloth setting punctuated by Florence's convincing hard sell pitch. Coincidentally my husband was at a loss to find a restaurant to celebrate a certain birthday, so I impulsively suggested this spot recognizing host Leslie Sbrocco said the average tab per person was a somewhat elevated $125. We had assumed it was in the actual Chase Center, but it turned out to be in a building next to it facing Terry A Francois Blvd. The entrance was very low-key with the signage barely noticeable from the sidewalk. The dark wood of the semicircular bar was the first thing we saw once we entered, and the hostess took us up one flight of stairs to the bustling dining room. Most of the tables were filled with small groups made up of corporate suits or families. We were seated in a more isolated booth facing another table set up for two. We kept waiting for a couple to show up, but gratefully no one arrived. Frankly it would've been awkward to dine face to face with strangers. The server came by bearing a birthday card signed by Tyler. It wasn't personalized, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right? Because of the occasion, he left us a small menu of their champagne cart selections. Jamie went for a $29 flute of the Pierre Gimmonet Blanc du Blancs Brut, which offered a crisp fresh flavor.I ordered a $38 flute of the Charles Heidsieck Rose Brut Reserve. It had a more full-bodied fruity flavor. The bubbly effervescence put us in a good mood for the complimentary popovers that arrived with frozen butter soon afterward. Appetizers came next, and I rarely miss an opportunity for deviled eggs because they're the first things I devour at cocktail parties. The $24 Truffle Deviled Eggs didn't disappoint as they consisted of a half-dozen egg halves filled artfully with a chive crème fraiche and accompanied by crudité. The main starter event, however, was the $34 Miller & Lux Caesar Salad for Two since they turn the order into Food Network-style performance art. In truth, it appeared more like a lift of the same tableside show at the House of Prime Rib except the preparer was much younger and there was a lot more positioning about the sourcing of the ingredients. The result was really little different from any other higher-end Caesar salad we've had with fresh anchovies and sourdough croutons. The exception was the crispy Meyer Lemon slices, a nice enhancement. Then it was time for the steak as we decided to share the $94 New York Strip, a 20-ounce slab of prime dry-aged, bone-in Black Angus prepared medium-rare and sliced Peter Luger-style on a platter. The price point was definitely a reflection of the quality of the meat, and with that expectation in mind, It was quite satisfying. We decided to add the $15 Summer Squash Ratatouille just for the flavor variety. It was a nice melange of squash with an accent of crispy blossoms and a separate saucepan of sauce vierge and melted goat cheese. Finally there was the dessert cart, a throwback to an earlier era of dining where a young couple on a date would try to split a napoleon in half. Not us. Jamie ordered the $20 Meyer Lemon & Lime Tart with an apple filling which was reflected in the exterior made up to look like a glossy Granny Smith apple. I went for the $20 Coconut Passionfruit Gateau which looked like a porcelain egg sprinkled with snowflakes. Both provided a decadent finish to our celebratory meal. No Tyler sightings that evening, but it was a fine venue for refined all-American gluttony.
