LET'S LUNCH: STEEL Restaurant & Lounge
March 04, 2015Lunch at STEEL Restaurant & Lounge.
On an overcast and rainy Tuesday afternoon, a good friend invited me to lunch to catch up and help lift my spirits. She loves sushi, so I suggested STEEL because they have some of the best sushi in Atlanta as well as free parking. I have always enjoyed dining at STEEL Restaurant & Lounge for dinner and was excited about experiencing the restaurant for lunch.
Lunch was pure perfection. From the atmosphere to the excellent service to the delectable dishes, the experience could not have been better. I feel like we had a little of everything.
We started off with a plate of sashimi: Tuna, Octopus, and Salmon. We even had the opportunity to try actual wasabi. This wasabi is imported from Japan and grated from the fresh wasabi root, it is not the wasabi (rehydrated wasabi-horseradish powder) you are used to having with your sushi. Fresh wasabi is delicious.

I had a Japanese Bento Box with Crab Cake, crab mango spring rolls, brown rice, California roll, and mixed greens salad.
We tried two decadent desserts: Chocolate Volcano Cake and Brandy Fruit Foster. I highly recommend both of this mouthwatering culinary creations.
Needless to say, I was stuffed and wearing a smile after our meal. It was great to catch up with an old friend and to have great food as a backdrop. Our lunch date lasted over two hours and past Steel's lunchtime, but the restaurant staff allowed us to conclude our dining experience at our own pace, even though the restaurant has closed.
I would be remiss in not mentioning the wonderful service provided by our server Christian. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I will definitely ask for Christian the next time I return to Steel.
