Okay, so I’ve been on this mission to find the absolute BEST steakhouse appetizers. You know, those starters that just make your mouth water before the main event. I hit up a few places this week, and let me tell you, it was a delicious journey.

First, I rolled up to this classic steakhouse downtown. You know the type, dark wood, low lighting, the whole nine yards. I scanned the menu and immediately zeroed in on their seared scallops. I mean, who can resist a perfectly seared scallop?
- Appearance: Golden brown, nicely caramelized.
- Texture: Tender, not rubbery at all. They just melted in my mouth.
- Taste: Buttery, a little bit sweet, with a hint of the sea. Seriously good.
Next up, I ventured to a more modern, trendy spot. They had this thing called “Wagyu Beef Carpaccio” that caught my eye. I’d never had carpaccio before, so I figured, why not?
- Presentation: Beautiful thin slices of raw beef, drizzled with some kind of fancy oil and topped with parmesan and capers.
- Flavor explosion: The beef was so rich and flavorful, and the salty parmesan and tangy capers just took it to another level.
