Walla Walla Steak Company

Tags


Walla Walla Steak Company is a newly opened steak house in Walla Walla, Washington. It is a high end steak house with a large selection of steaks. The restaurant is located on the 2nd street at Walla Walla, just beside Best Western Hotel. The restaurant offers a rather large parking lot for customers and easy to access since it is located just off the highway.


We were visiting Walla Walla during the long weekend and were staying at Best Western Hotel Walla Walla, thus we happened to see this steak house and decided to go there for dinner.  As we walk in, the front desk attendant asked us whether we wanted the steak side of sandwich side. We were confused since we did not know there is a different. The restaurant servers both steak and sandwich dishes. Customers who wish to have steak sit on one side, and customers who wish to have sandwich sit on the other side. We wanted to have steak of course, thus we went to the right side.

As we sit down, the waiter were kind enough to take our jacket and place them gently on the coat hanger. The waiter gave us the menu and told us about today's special on prime rib. As we looked through the menu, the waiter also offered us regular water or sparkling water. The sparkling water is at no additional charge, which is nice.

After a short while, we decided to get Hearth Oven Baked Oyster appetizer, today's prime rib special, and Fire Roasted King Salmon. The waiter happily took our order and brought us a well baked sour dough bread with butter.

Soon after, the oyster appetizer is here. The oyster is a bit smaller than what we were expecting and the oyster seems smashed, but maybe that's how it is. There are also some Walla Walla onions sprinkled on the oyster and we could taste the onion, which is nice. At the bottom of the place, it also looked like some amount of sea salts were placed there.



Our entrees were finally here. The prime rib that we ordered was 10oz, but it looked like it was a 14oz to us. It was huge. We also ordered the prime rib to be medium, which was amazingly cooked the way we want it. The prime rib meat was so tender and juice. It simply melted in our mouth. We did not even need to place radish cream on the steak since it was tasty enough. The prime rib entree also came with baked potato. The way how the baked potato was served is also quite interesting. The potato is uncut. The waiter gave us butter, sour cream, and green onions to let us decorate the potato however we want. The broccoli on the dish however, was quite salty in our opinion.

The salmon entree was out of this world. It was so soft and flavorful. We have never tasted a salmon that has so much flavors before. We loved the salmon a lot. However, after several bite, we also found the salmon to be a bit salty for our taste.

As we worked through our entree, the owner was so kind to come by and speak to us. We learnt that the restaurant only opened few months ago and it was getting so many customers revisiting the place.

The table sitting behind us actually got the signature dish of the restaurant, which is a 34oz bone in prime ribeye. It was insane. It was gigantic. The owner pushed the cart with ribeye to the table and cut it in front of them. This is something that we might try next time, but 34oz of meat is really a lot!

Overall, we really like the place other than the salty part. One thing to note is that 20% tips is added on the bill, which is a bummer. We understand that it is a high end restaurant, but most customers (if not all) would be willing to give a lot of tips when dining here.
