Last night I finally had an occasion to try Harbour 60. Somehow, despite it being considered one of the best steakhouses in the city, I’d never been. I was there for a work thing.

I’ve heard a lot of people say they prefer it to Jacobs, but now having tried it I wouldn’t even put it in the same league. Jacobs remains my champ. Going there later this month. Can’t. Wait.

What we ate:

• Starters
  • seared Ahi tuna w/ jalapano pepper and pineapple salsa
  • crispy Maryland crab cake w/ corn, lime, avocado & tomato, chipotle aioli, crab salad
  • jumbo tempura shrimp w/ spicy coconut-lime sauce, soy-ginger sauce, scallions
  • spicy buttermilk fried calamari w/ sea salt, lemon aioli
  • caesar salad w/ baked croutons, Parmigiano Reggiano
• Steaks
  • 32oz tomahawk
  • 14oz filet mignon
  • bone-in New York strip special
• Sides
  • broccolini w/ remesco sauce, roasted almonds
  • mushrooms w/ white wine, thyme
  • mashed potato
• Wine (they don’t post their list online, so I’m remembering what little I can)
  • 2012 Meursault Chardonnay
  • A bottle of Zinfandel (I don’t remember which one as I didn’t order it, and was nervous ’cause I don’t really like Zin, but it turned out to be fantastic)
  • A 2013 Catena Zapata Nicolas Bordeaux blend (not nearly as good as I remember.)
  • SomeCalifornia cab (again, no idea which; I deferred to the Zin-orderer)
  • Tawny port for dessert
