Stam House

When I was a child, my parents used to take our family to the Stam House for fish fry. It's an interestingly modified old barn that has recently been updated and rebranded as a supper club. I had not been there in 25 years or so, and it was interesting to see the changes and similarities to my past memories. They have a nice bar with a good selection of beers and booze. I got a Fantasy Factory. 

We got an appetizer as they had Pierogies which are hard to find in restaurants. They were pretty decent, but not the best I have had. They gave us what looked like one roll that had been diced into 5 pieces. The bread tasted OK, but it was weird how small it was. The waiter, who was very energetic, offered to bring us more, but we let it go. There is no salad with the meal, and no one chose to get one this time. The meal came with a potato and vegetable, so we still got our starch and fiber. 

I got the 15 oz. Ribeye Medium rare for 43$, and it was cooked well. Pretty good piece of meat. It was flavorful and had just enough fat, but not too much. The quality was higher than Toby's, our Outback as you would expect for the higher cost. The meal came with a choice of Potato and veg, and I got Fingerling potatoes and sauteed broccoli. There was not much to them in terms of seasoning other than butter, but they were fine.

Overall this was a good place. The meat quality and prices were similar to Delaney's, so I am giving it the same grade of B-. I would go there again.
