Monday 25 th April 2005


Dawn and I had not decided where to eat that evening but decided we would like to try other steaks on the menu at the Yachtsman so phoned to get priority seating.
The only time available at the earliest hour was at 8.30pm so we booked this time.

We arrived in good time and were seated at our PS time at 8.30pm. Our server for the evening was Candace from Colorado.
Dawn decided on Coke with the meal and I had a glass of Cabernet.
The restaurant was very, very noisy and I could not see what would be romantic about this location in the least, where to communicate with each other you had to practically shout.
The noise kind of reminded me of a school canteen with lots of loud talking and lots of cutlery against plate sounds.

We both decided on the New York Strip cooked medium but I included a tail of lobster and we requested sides of broccoli with béarnaise sauce and a side of mushrooms.

The meal was excellent and the steaks cooked to perfection and were in amongst the best we had ever eaten.
The bill came to a total of $100.32+ tip and gave us a DDE saving of $23.55.

Hi Shelly

I think it is better to get an earlier seating if you want it to be a bit more peaceful.

We will ask at the California Grill tonight for an email re your earlier request.

Great reports and photos.

Grr we were going to have our anniversary meal at The Yatchsmans Steakhouse, but I'm having second thoughts if it's noisy, would really like somewhere quiet and intimate.

I have never had mahi mahi that resembled greasey chicken! I have always found it to be a firm meaty fish. I have had it it naked like you had above and in a light batter. Niether looked like above. So sorry you wern't impressed.

We ordered the mushrooms too - there were masses of them weren't there!

Sorry to hear it was so noisy. We had a very quiet meal at YS at around the same time - 8.30ish. I guess we must have had more considerate fellow diners the night we went!

Looking forward to your CG report - we still never made it there:cry:
