Intriguing Steak, Underwhelming Sides: Wagyu Filet Mignon at Tavern N Town Marriott Beachside Key West - IMRAN™ The 8oz Wagyu filet mignon was a "special" at Tavern N Town, nestled within the Marriott Beachside Resort in Key West next to the grand lobby, when I stayed there recently. It was certainly intriguing. Although it did not live up to its high recommendations, the steak itself was decent - tender, flavorful, and cooked as I like it. However, for the hefty more than $100 price tag wth tax and tip (especially considering no drinks or desserts were included), my expectations were for a much more sumptuous experience. While the service was commendable, the dryness of the steak and the boring sides left me dissatisfied. The portion of sautéed mushrooms was meager, and the accompanying peppers, though well-presented, weren't quite the ideal pairing for a filet mignon in my humble opinion. Mashed potatoes would have been a more satisfying (and classic) complement. Compared to Prime Steakhouse in town, Tavern N Town's offering fell significantly short. Prime Steakhouse offered a wider variety and more exciting choices, truly complementing their exceptional steak, which itself was far superior to this one. If you're staying at the Marriott Beachside and hankering for a good steak, Tavern N Town won't disappoint. However, for the ultimate price-to-taste satisfaction, venture out to Prime Steakhouse for a more complete and memorable dining experience. © 2024 IMRAN™ #bokeh, #dinner, #dining, #filetmignon, #finedining, #Florida, #FloridaKeys, #foodreview, #IMRAN, #KeyWest, #Marriott, #resort, #restaurant, #foodie, #review, #steak, #Travel, #travelogueIntriguing Steak, Underwhelming Sides: Wagyu Filet Mignon at Tavern N Town Marriott Beachside Key West - IMRAN™ The 8oz Wagyu filet mignon was a "special" at Tavern N Town, nestled within the Marriott Beachside Resort in Key West next to the grand lobby, when I stayed there recently.
