Funny thing about Aberdean (not ha ha funny, though whatever).. My wife and I were hungry, late at night (this place is open till like midnight) and wanted "meat" as we sometimes turn into barbaric carnivorous freaks -- so it looked like a place that sold steaks. We were dressed in casual attire, thinking, "it looks just like a road house type of place but 'local' established." Wrong. While a suit and tie aren't required, wearing casual (and I mean for me, a semi-worn T-shirt, jeans, etc.) wear and having our 5 year old son with us made me feel a little uneasy. Thankfully, our son wasn't entirely cranky that evening -- it was 10'oclock after all. Anyway, we get there and there is an older guy playing a synthesizer/piano and a slightly younger woman playing a clarinet..... most were in a dresses and clean slacks/sweaters, etc. We felt out of place as we were totally unprepared for that type of atmosphere, though getting up after being seated would have made us look like bigger asses. I'm glad we stayed! It's far better than Ruth Chris, in fact, the steak there is damn good. In fact, coming up on midnight snack time, I'm making my fucking self hungry now..

We figured at this point, fuck it.. lets chow down. We opened up with a lobster bisque (dance good) and oysters (on half a shell). Damn good.

I had the porterhouse medium -- damn close to perfection (this particular cut/quality/preparation) melted damn near as good as a medium rare Bison.. My wife had an Australian lobster tail (if you haven't had an Australian north warm water or cold water west -- you're missing out) -- absolutely perfect.

I don't remember what they had for a kid menu, I think breaded chicken strips (which of course I had to sample and they too were damn good as well for a kids menu item -- or the waiter suggested it as a kids menu item unsure if it really was). Though sounds like it will be just a nice evening with your wife and yourself so, thats irrelevant.

My Bday is Monday, I think I know where we'll go now.. <grin> I do wish they had Bison though.. I'm still searching for a place that knows how to prepare Bison right.
