***short version***\n\nthe wagyu rib cap was the best steak i've ever had. and the service was excellent. our server, katy, made the dinner a complete 5-star experience.\n\n***long version***\n\nas i walked in i asked our server if i could finish my can of beer at the table. \""sure\"", katy said flashing a smile. yeah, i'm cheap and i hate spending money on expensive steaks and drinks. i was set to order one of the cheapest things on the menu (kobe burger at $20), when i mentioned to her that i've been disappointed every time i ordered a $30+ steak. she replied that their rib cap was the best steak she's ever had. she tried to explain what a rib cap was, but her friendliness was so disarming that i ordered it without fully understanding where on the cow the meat was coming from. i normally like medium, but i know medium-rare should be the way to go. she suggested something in between: medium-rare plus. i doubted her cooks' skills but she assured me that their temperature control was outstanding.\n\nwhat's a rib cap? i had to look it up when i got home. on a chunk of roast there's the familiar rib-eye loin and then that layer of fat along the top. when you cut away the eye, there's quite a bit of meat still attached to the fat. that's the rib-cap.\n\nout came the meat, and i immediately cut into it. it wasn't running blood, but it was still full of that that happy pink center you expect from a gently-cooked steak. (medium-rare plus!) after a vigorous discussion with my tablemates we settled on a description of the rib-cap: the robust flavor of the rib-eye, the tenderness of a filet, and the mouth-melting fat of pork belly. a trifecta worth the $60. the sides were awesome, but i couldn't stop loving each bite of my steak.\n\nkaty checked in, and i was impressed that the product delivered. she noticed my can of pale ale was out, and suggested i try an ipa. wine just wouldn't do with this steak, and i got the feeling that katy was a beer kinda girl. i mentioned to the server extraordinaire, that the only problem i had with the rib-cap was after the first bite and subsequent beefy fatness melted and coated your mouth, the excitement of the next bite was slightly diminished. \n\nkaty went back to the kitchen and brought out a small serving of coconut sorbet as a kind of intermezzo, palate cleanser. so my last bite was just like my first.
