The Mainstay by Marc Murphy Twitter/X Food Review

Mainstay Steak Frites at The Mainstay by Marc Murphy

Was looking forward to trying The Mainstay by @chefmarcmurphy at @wonder, but can’t get past a well-done steak when I asked for medium. Ordered Mainstay Steak Frites for $29.95. It comes with (a ton of) salty fries (which taste identical to everyone else’s fries at Wonder.) In addition to overcooking the steak, they forgot to put on the garlic 🧄 Chimichurri sauce, resulting in an even drier finished product. Tack on $1.95 for a way-too-salty steak sauce (shouldn’t it be free?) and the verdict is predictable. D- The skin-on fries may have been too familiar, but they were nicely cooked, flavorful & plentiful. B- Ditto for the MOUNTAIN of onion rings ($6.95) Seriously, there were at least a dozen of ‘em, and they were pretty big. Not too greasy, but not too crunchy either ☹️ Note to kitchen: Cook them 2 minutes longer, please. The horseradish remoulade added a nice kick B Still, all I’ll remember is that 10-oz sirloin and the resulting giant side of disappointment. 

Grade: D
