The Blacksmith Steakhouse, Bar & Lounge

I was in town for just a weekend.  It was so good on our first night, we went back on the second night even after considering a number of other good options.  Chef Chan is wonderful.  Even something commonplace like the polenta on the side is startlingly good.  Very top notch cuisine at a good price with a good wine list.  And a bonus of  being much quieter than the other noisy places in town.  Great service too.

Heard  there were new owners so decided to try the happy hour. Checked out the HH menu online and found a lot of variety, something for everyone. Manager Joey was professional and knowledgeable when answering our questions about menu items as was our server,Jessica. Favorites were the brussel sprouts with bacon, ahi appetizer, beet salad and caesar salad. HH pricing is $1 off certain food items, $1 off glasses of wine and $4 off bottles of wine.
Joey explained that new owners want to bring back the reputation of the Blacksmith as a steak house. None of my friends and I eat red meat so we can't speak to that, however, we were impressed enough with the service, menu options (for us non-meat eaters), preparation and presentation that we returned a few days later to celebrate a birthday.
On this occasion, we ordered off the HH and the main menus and were pleased with our selections; Ahi tuna and cider-brined pork chop (both on the dinner menu), BLT salad & caesar. In honor of our birthday girl, we all shared the Table-side Fostered Banana Split!!! Four of us shared but there was enough for a couple of more.
Hope the word gets out soon about the new Blacksmith.

My boyfriend brought his parents and I here for dinner Friday evening.  We all shared the mussels as an app - they were good (though I've never had mussels before so do not have a solid benchmark to compare them to).  My boyfriend and I split the beat salad, a steak (can't even recall which one), and a side of smoked mac and cheese.  The mac n cheese was the best.
His mom had the Cajun medallions - those were easily the best meat on the table.  I do not like spicy at all and these were not.  There was just a light flavor to them that made them extra good.
Our server took great care of us, the meal was solid, and the company was perfect.  For that, I give it 4 stars.
