Guy's Night Out - Head to Strip House
04/04/2008

I'm not talking about that kind of strip, where a single mom "putting herself through law school" peels off her threadbare lime-green lingerie to Motlëy Crüe's "Girls, Girls, Girls" and then hits you up for $20. I'm talking about the kind of strip that's seared over a hot grill to such perfection that it melts in your mouth.

With locations in Las Vegas (in the new Planet Hollywood Hotel Casino), New York, Houston, New Jersey, two in Puerto Rico, and three in Florida (Naples, Palm Beach Gardens, and Key West), Strip House is the new vision of an old-school steak house. A guy's steak house. The type of place you'd expect to see Frank and Dino hanging out. The type of place that puts together a special Bachelor Menu for you and the boys to feast on.

From the hundreds of vintage black and white photos of burlesque girls, to the red velvet-flocked wallpaper with matching napkins (look closely at the design, you can see it on their site, and tell me it's not genius), Strip House is the place for guys to go have a few drinks - and a few top-of-the-line steaks - in style.

Their Bachelor Menu is available in every location except New York, and it can be served to you and your boys in a private room (complete with flat screen TV), so the other guests don't infringe on your party. Unless they're hot, and invited.

The menu starts off with the Seafood Plateau, an enormous tray packed with huge chilled shrimp, raw clams and oysters, tuna tartar, lobster chick, king crab legs, scallop ceviche, scallop salad and grilled calamari. More than enough for everyone at the table to stuff themselves with. After that you move to your choice of classic caesar salad or lobster bisque, with a crispy lobster-filled wonton in the bottom. And I say crispy because at Strip House, they bring the bowl with just the wonton and pour the soup table side so it stays crisp. Just one of their old-school service touches. (Another is the heated milk served with your post-meal coffee, to keep it from turning your java lukewarm.)

After all that comes the main reason you came: Steak. And whether you have the 10 oz filet, the 22 oz bone-in rib eye, or the signature 16 oz strip, you can't go wrong. I've had steak all over the place, from New York to Montreal to St. Louis, and the strip I had here was one of the best. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and butter tender.

Throw in a couple of the side dishes, like some Crisp Goose Fat Potatoes or the Garlic-Herb French Fries, or maybe a 3lb Maine lobster to share (for an extra $90), and round out the meal. It's good to be the king. Then finish with a glass of Port and their famous 24 layer chocolate cake. The tab? $105 per person. For a royal spread, private room, and top quality service. Or you can drop the same in an hour or two at that other strip place. And go home frustrated and alone.
