BLTsteak-Honolulu

 Bistro Laurent Tourondel or BLTsteak is located in the Trump Tower in Waikiki.  This is the only luxury Hotel on Oahu.  My wife decided to take me to BLTsteak for my birthday.  The menu is on their website, so before we left for town, I already knew what I was going to order.  22oz Bone in ribeye.  More on that later.
We had reservations for 6pm.  Pulled up to the valet at the Trump Tower and step to the right, follow the hallway to the end about 30 or so yards, and you will be there.
We were joined by a few of my friends, brother and sister-in-law.  Six of us steak eaters, and my wife the vegan at a high scale steak house.  We were seated immediately at a sorta corner booth, with three people in chairs, and four of us on a nice comfy booth style bench.  They started us off with some drinks, then brought out a meat tray (compliments of the chef), some chicken pate and toast, as well as some cheese bread with bacon, and then the big popovers.  With that who needs the steak? I ordered my ribeye, with creamed spinach, and jalapeno mashed potatoes.  Others on the table ordered their steaks, and sides.  In all I think we got the sides covered, Kahuku bbq corn, grilled asparagus, potato and leek hash browns (my fave of the sides), scalloped potatoes.  The chef's wife is a friend of my mother in law, so he sent out many different things throughout the night.  One of the sides was the onion ring stack.  All the sides were $8 each.  Not bad, but they were pretty small.  The corn looked like less than a can!  Anyway, on to the steak.  Mine, the bone in ribeye was $45.  My brother ordered the porterhouse for 2-40oz, and his was $85.  Others were the filet and NY strip. $34 for the 8oz filet, $32 for the 12oz The NY strip went for $37, $43 and $49, 14, 16, and bone in 20oz.  All the desserts were $10, and very small portions, yet very sweet, and any more and it would be overkill.  An awesome looking sundae walked by and I asked a waitress what it was.  She replied, "it's a pineapple sundae, and very refreshing!"  No one at the table ordered that, yet our chef sent one out to us.  She was completely correct.  I don't think there is any other way to describe that sundae.  "Refreshing." It was great, with the pina colada sorbet.  He also sent out some brownies, and peach cobbler.
Stuffed.  Only thing to describe how we all felt at the end of the meal.
A HUGE thank you to Chef Johan Svensson for awesome steaks and wonderful service by the staff at BLTsteak.
