Zagat Survey Discussions

You must try the 32oz Dry Aged Rib Eye in Cafe' Firenze in Moorpark.... i'm not kidding never had somethings like that.... not even in Vegas, mine was served with fresh Porcini Mushrooms salsa and Gorgonzola Fondue...... everything is amazing 8 different bread in the basket baked daily, fresh pasta, a little paradise for foodies in this little community.....

We thought the food was passable at best. The guy next to us sent his 32oz Dry Aged Rib-eye back Said it was cold [not rare, cold] in the middle. "Fondue"? Surely they mean sauce. The decor is very nice. We will give Firenze another try when they have been open a few more months.

Best Steak is at Morton's . . . hands down!!!

If your already in Ventura County, then the best piece of beef is at Cafe Zack in Ventura. Their Filet is to die for. Yes, I know Zack isn't a steak house, but i've been trying the steaks at ventura restaurants for years and it just NEVER compares.

Taylor Prime Steaks...the best price for "Prime" beef in all of LA!

I'll eat anything that won't eat me first!

I ate at Ruth's Chris recently and got the filet mignon with a blue cheese crust. Was AMAZING.

I need to give Cafe Firenze a shot. ;)

Fred,

I love my steak rare, and traditionally rare is cool and barely cooked in the center. Medium rare has a warm center and is cooked a bit more. It seems that many people do not know the distinction and that is why they are disappointed when they receive a properly cooked rare steak.

If the steak was truly "cold" in the center, then the meat was probably not entirely thawed when cooked.
