We were seated in the room opposite on the far side of the restaurant. The décor was too Spartan for our tastes with deep brown on the ceiling and olive tone on the walls. The server offered us the win menu and we each had a baseline ($6) glass of Cabernet Sauvignon that turned out to be quite tasty. But then, some of us can’t tell the difference between Chateau Nouveau and Chateau Screwtop. By the way, the rolls were very unique. A basket of one sweet potato roll, a French boulette and a slice of cornbread was found to be a great counter point to the wine. For appetizers, we ordered the broiled oysters with applewood smoked bacon and tomato compote, as well as a special of the evening, jumbo shrimp rolled in corn meal and fried. Both offerings were excellent and served straight from the kitchen. I chose my favorite, of which there is virtually no other place to find on any menu in Dayton - a Delmonico steak. A cut of meat very similar to the legendary-but-no-more club steak at the Pine Club, the steak was grilled and had the crosshatch marks of a well-seared steak to prove it. It is a larger cut of meat (14 ozs.) and was frankly too much to eat. The steak was ordered rare and arrived that way, with a great flavor to boot. I was a little disappointed that there was a little more gristle in this cut of meat than I have come to find in other Delmonico’s, though, but not enough to send back. Supposedly, Chef Sexton’s real specialty is the desserts he concocts from scratch in that kitchen he inherited from Blue Moon Chef Greg Fitzgerald. We ordered something light…or so we thought. Bread pudding with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and drizzled with strawberry syrup is not light. But boy is it good. That being wifey’s choice, I opted for another weakness – key lime pie. The key lime pie is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Suffice it to say, we did finish our respective desserts. The Oregon District has but a handful of restaurants along its cobbled streets. But all of them can hold their own with any of the more far-flung and grudgingly popular outposts at the Fairfield Commons Mall, the Dayton Mall or that new upstart, The Greene. John Henry’s can count itself as having a unique niche in the culinary scheme of things. From the tastes coming out of Chef Sexton’s kitchen, a brave and noble effort is being made on behalf of individual restaurants that don’t sport popular themes or cater to the whims of corporate menu makers. |
