Last week we braved the storm and headed north to Plano. We typically don't travel outside of "the loop", but we had to try Steve Fields Steak and Lobster Lounge. We got off to a rough start with the hostess. We made a reservation, but due to the weather apocalypse we were a tad late (please note our exasperation with this situation). She notified us, in not quite polite enough of a tone, that our table had been let go. Luckily, our friend "the bar" had a few seats open, as well as some generous pours of Chardonnay. At this point, we were in love with the little lobster lights on the wall and the piano player with his eclectic selections (George Strait then right on in to Elton John). When we were seated 20 minutes later, there were plenty of available tables in the dining room. We're still stumped on why the 16 year old hostess hated us.
Luckily, our waiter made up for the hostess stand. He had enthusiasm for the menu and was very helpful and smiled a ton. We were immediately brought warm foccacia bread sprinkled with sea salt and rosemary complete with a side of butter and dipping oil. We liked that they provided us with bread accoutrement options.
For an appetizer, the house made potato chips and brie dipping sauce caught our eye. This was amazing. The chips were thin, salty, and crispy and the dipping sauce was creamy and warm. Our rough start was improving. We decided to order the lobster bisque and the macaroni and cheese for entree number one. The lobster bisque was wonderful. It came with a hefty serving of lobster meat in the center of the bowl. It was rich and flavorful! Next up, we enjoyed a side of macaroni and cheese! This was cheesy, creamy and served with a toasted panko crumbs.
Entree Number Two: the steak was served with a loaded baked potato, that is always a welcome addition to our plate. And while the steak wasn't magnificent, it was pretty solid. Probably a B- if we were to give it a grade.
We liked that they were not crabby about swapping sides. If you didn't want a loaded potato, you could add whatever you fancied.
So overall, if we lived closer to Steve Fields, we might drop in more frequently. We are glad that we went so that we could see if D Magazine really knew what they were talking about. Turns out, they were on the right track.
The dish: the lobster bisque! Definitely worth a try.
