Luxury Life & Style - (Page 83) Luckily, my mood improved once I picked up Mr. Sexton at his office in Beverly Hills; nothing is quite as nice as admiring a handsome guy waiting on the corner and then realizing that he’s your husband. I also realized that BLT Steak now occupies the space that once housed L.A. legend Le Dôme, so it was only a few quick turns to the valet, and, within ten minutes, we were seated with cocktail in hand. I don’t usually drink any alcohol other than wine, and Mr. Sexton doesn’t drink much period, but that kumquat-acai mojito they’re plying made us beg for a second. It was the most delicious drink I have had in a long, long time. Thank goodness someone remembered that “specialty cocktails” still need to actually taste good! Dinner. The scene on a Thursday night at 7 p.m. was abuzz with agents in suits watching the Lakers-Celtics game at the bar whilst Sex and the City wannabes dined in female quartets to our immediate left and right. (Mucho cosmos, breasts, raunchy talk of exes and one salad split four ways with dressing on the side – you get the idea.) We were there to eat, though, and when you’re on the nanny clock, one can’t afford to linger too long with the menu, which, at BLT Steak, requires some serious decoding. There are numerous specials chalked up on a bistro-like board in addition to several paper menus that offer a cacophony of proteins, sauces, sides, more specials, a diagram of beef cuts and autographed cookbook copies. We were lost. BLT Steak really needs someone to organize all their offerings so that folks can figure out what they want to order without Sherlock Holmes’ help. Ultimately, I located and chose a delicate shaved fennel and tangerine salad with a Meyer lemon vinaigrette that paired oh-so-yummily with a glass of Groom sauvignon blanc from the Adelaide Hills in Australia. Mr. Sexton went old-school, ordered the jumbo shrimp cocktail and stole a sip of my sauvignon blanc to wash down his crustaceans. We watched as the $115 seafood platter, a tower really, sailed over to a banquette across the room. Despite its steakhouse vibe, the raw bar offerings at BLT Steak seemed to be equally popular.
