Steakhouse in Medan's JW Marriot hotel. Nicely decorated with live band gives the place a classy atmosphere. For Medan prices, this is priced very high but for international standards it is priced around a mid or mid-high end steakhouse. Had the mushroom soup and lobster bisque as appetizers and while they were good, they were nothing special. I suspect the lobster bisque to be from a can with some fresh lobster bits thrown in. The steak itself was quite decent and cooked to the requested temperature. The sauces were flavourful too. However, the accompanying vegetables (diced peas, carrots) just made the whole dish look cheaper since they look like they broke open a pack of frozen vegetables. Unsure why this decision was made. Overall, the dinner was enjoyable but I expected more unique tastes and presentation from a restaurant of this price range in any country. Worth a try while in Medan but nothing too special if you are used to steakhouses elsewhere.
