  I was surprised at the quality of the steak...incredibly average.

  I have always heard loads of good words about Lilfred's so my expectations for a fine dining experience were kinda high. To make things even more exciting we decided to go with friends on New Year's Eve. Our friends said that you could bring your own wine and that they would charge you a corking fee ($15). So we got a big bottle to go with the dinner we were having. Not really knowing what the NYE menu would be, we decided to take several different types of wine to cover our bases.
  
  Upon arriving, I missed the front lot, and parked on the side street, not a big deal really, but my car is low and it was a little difficult to get into a good space. There was also not a very clear path from the side lot to the front door, but we managed anyway. Some very wet ground right in front that made me a bit nervous because it had not rained lately and I thought it may be from another source.
  
  Once inside the decor is very much like your old sytle den, lots of wood paneled walls and floors doing all kinds of fun slopes. The seating is comfortable , with small seating to the 8 top we shared. The server was very nice and presented the options very well.
  
  As a started I got the tomato/crab soup. It was barely room tempeature, still not bad, but it could have been warmer. At this point, I was unsure if the kitchen had prepared it this way or did it get cold. Our friends shared different started, with the palmetto cheese being a speciality, but was cold and had to be sent back.
  
  For my main course, I had the Ribeye steak medium (pink in the middle) and it was perfect, this steak was huge and tasted great! As a side I got the home fries (basically french fries) cooked in duck or truffle or duck/truffle oil. (sorry). But none the less it was a great meal!
  
  For dessert, we shared the creme brulee and it was cold and the way through! Big time fail for creme brulee because it is supposed to be both warm and cold together in each bite. Again, not sure were this failed, but the restaurant was not overly busy, because at this point there were only about 12 people in the place still dining.
  
  All in all, I still recommend it, but just not highly because for the amount of money we spent, the meal should have been nearly perfect in my opinion. Estimate on spending $25-50 per person.
