We had to agree that the cocktails didn’t quite measure up to the ones we were served at Gordon Ramsay Steak. I got the Ooo-Mami ($16), which is made with tequila blanco, Mamma Bella grapefruit cello, rose syrup, grapefruit soda, and lime.
It was refreshing but a little too sweet. I preferred the spin on the gin and tonic at the other steakhouse.
My friend ordered the Boardwalk Oaxacan ($16), made with Banhez mezcal, wild elderflower liqueur, sour, hot honey, and sparkling rosé. She said it was a touch too smoky and bitter for her tastes.
With tip and tax, the total cost of our meal came to $201 for two appetizers, one entrée, a side dish, and four cocktails.
While we only ordered one main dish to share, we felt it was more than enough food for two people — and at more than $100 less than the cost of our meal at Gordon Ramsay Steak, it was also the better deal.
Between the tender, well-portioned steak, delicious apps, and luxurious but never stuffy atmosphere, I’m eager to book my next Atlantic City dinner reservation at The Knife and Fork Inn.
