Kreis' Steakhouse in Creve Couer 5-17-25

This restaurant is always close to a 5/5. 

Mike was hungry for prime rib and decided he wanted some really nice prime rib, so we made a reservation at Kreis' Steakhouse in Creve Couer.  

There is always a weirdness when making a reservation at Kreis'.  The reservations say "North seating," "South seating" and "Main Dining Room."  We tried for main dining room but I think we got south seating in the front bar room.  I'm just glad we didn't get downstairs.  That is my least favorite place to sit.  

We started with the shrimp appetizer.  They are tasty.  The shrimp are seasoned and a little spicy.  They are butterflied and stuffed with crabcake mixture.  But, they are pricey...about $10 each!

We each got a cocktail and then ordered a bottle of wine that we have had there before.  

Mike ordered the big prime rib and some broccoli for dinner.  He wanted lots of leftovers to take home.  

I ordered the scallops.  They come with rice pilaf (usually rather tasetless), but tonight they had a cilantro lime rice that went with one of their specials, so I asked if I could have that instead.  Also, you get a baked potato with this.  This is too much starch, so I gave Mike 1/2 of my potato.  

We got the baked apple strudel for dessert.  They apples are good, but overall it is too cinnamony and there is not enough strudel (breading).  

It is always enjoyable to come here...but it is expensive, so we don't come often.
