Having received a suggestion from parents we thought we would travel
further into Medina than we had ever been before. If you have taken
the main drag through Medina past the hundreds of store fronts you
have likely at one point or another reached the end of civilization
where the neon and fluorescents turn into trees. Having reached this
point a couple of times only to turn around, our journey to Steve’s
Dakota Grill took us into the “wilderness”. At the crest of a hill
stands a large and somewhat opulent building with the feeling of a
hunting lodge. The feel reverberates inside with mounted game of
nearly every stripe but everything is rich and polished. |

Sitting in a small booth we find the menu runs
right in line with the décor. Specializing in steaks we knew that
would have to be at least one of the orders. To start however, we
tried the French Onion Soup and the Spinach and Artichoke Dip. The
soup was relatively run of the mill but the dip was served alongside
parmesan flavored crisps which was a nice touch. The salads were
bright and fresh, I have been surprised how often we have found
fresh salads since we have started this little experiment, I have
memories of many disappointments.
In an attempt to get a taste of more than one
thing I ordered the Chicken and Rib Combination Platter. Here was
the first serious let down of the evening. Both the chicken and ribs
were dry to the point of needing a sip of the ginourmous beer mug to
manage a chew and swallow. Oh yeah, when they ask you which size
beer you would like, you should know the large requires two people
to lift it let alone finish. |

The servers appear knowledgeable and friendly and the Dakota Grill
definitely offers a solid night out. We will likely be back. If you
should join us; whatever you do…"Beef, it’s what’s for dinner” at
the Dakota Grill. |
