This is not the first time I have reviewed the filet at the Majestic in my blog. Back in August I had the filet with gorgonzola crust.
But the thing is, at the Majestic you have options. You can get the filet with gorgonzola crust. Or you can get it with green peppercorn Jameson sauce. Or bearnaise sauce. Or you can add a side of six garlic shrimp. Or four scallops. I could compute the number of permutations in which you could get a filet at the Majestic. But this is a drunk post so I won’t take the time or the brain power.
I went with the green peppercorn Jameson sauce this time. It’s funny, I could almost hear someone going “hell yeah, Jameson, let’s take a shot and get fucked up” in my right ear as I ordered. I thought I imagined blond hair. But I can’t place where I heard that quote beyond that. Anyway, the sauce retains a little of the flavor of the Jameson Irish whisky but none of the alcohol.
The filet was delicious as always. Last time I took a photo of the inside, which I always order medium rare. This time I couldn’t line up a good shot but let me say it again: This is a damn fantastic steak and I dare anyone to show me a better steak Downtown.
PRO TIP: The green peppercorn Jameson sauce comes in a cup on the side. Although it’s listed as an addition to the filet, don’t dip the filet in it. (In fact, when I polled my Facebook friends, some said the steak was perfect as is and don’t add extras). Instead, dip the garlic mashed potatoes in the sauce. Oh my God. So good.
PRO TIP #2: Ask your server or bartender for some of the Majestic’s foccacia bread to accompany dinner. It comes with butter and will make any meal you have there better.
PRO TIP #3: Have the bartender or server recommend a wine with your filet. I told Brandon, the bartender, that I planned on ordering the filet, and he found a delicious Cabernet to make the meal complete.
Filet at Majestic is my absolute favorite meal Downtown. Do yourself a favor and try one soon.
