An amazing experience, from start to finish. Boilerhouse Prime is 100% worth the splurge, in my…read moreopinion. My food was excellent, the service was top-notch and the ambiance is beautiful. It was a great place to have a nice solo steak dinner in West Lafayette. I don't eat steak often, but when I do, I want it to be amazing. And my steak was amazing! I got the 8-ounce Linz Heritage filet, Sam Allen style, which meant that it also came with grilled shrimp and a chimichurri. Yum yum yum to all three things. I usually order my steak medium-well, but the server suggested medium, so I went with it. Good choice! My server was very wise, even though he looked like he was still in college. Along with the steak, I got a side of grilled mushrooms, which came in a brown sauce with chives sprinkled on top. But first: I started with an heirloom tomato salad, which was served with stracciatella cheese, basil and these cool balls that looked like roe, but were actually balls of balsamic vinegar. Fancy! It was fresh and light, and the perfect appetizer to get during a summer in Indiana, when them tomatoes be poppin'. I don't know why I'm reviewing my meal backward, but just go with me, people. Before everything, you get complimentary rolls and butter. Oh man! I could have made a meal just from the bread and butter, both of which were tender and soft, and so salty and flavorful. At the very beginning of my meal, I started with an Old Fashioned, because I read that Boilerhouse Prime is known for their Old Fashioneds. This one was well balanced, and came with a nice bourbon cherry. I also got a glass of Malbec along the way with my meal, which went well with my steak. This seems like an adults-only restaurant, but I was sitting close to a big table that had a family with kids, so well-behaved kids are definitely allowed, even though I did not see a kids menu.

If you judge your dining experience based on how much you spend, you're gonna love this place…read more However if you base it on the food quality given the price point, you will not be as enamored with it. Last time I got the lobster bisque and it may have been the best I've ever had. I ordered it again and it was terrible. Just terrible. Tasted kind of bitter and was much too dark for a lobster bisque. The side dishes are enormous and they were all ok. The charred broccoli is an entire stalk thrown on a grill. Char on outside, raw on inside. Lovely. My American Wagyu bone-in strip was good, though it tasted no different than prime meat and did cost $95. I would have hoped for better than just 'good'. Family enjoyed most items. I sampled the wedge and really liked that. Probably best part of the meal. Oysters were excellent. Drinks are always good here. They have upgraded their rum list and have some high quality ones now. That's great! Service is always top notch. I will definitely be back for happy hours. The food at this restaurant is good. But when 2 adults and 3 kids drop $800 on a meal, it really ought to be fantastic, not just good.

It's a perfect place for families or just adults. Our server was SO ATTENTIVE. He even boxed up what we wanted to take with us himself. He checked in regularly and let us decide if we wanted to get beverages first, desired appetizers, and if so, should he turn in our dinner choices right away, etc. etc. He was super friendly and did a lot of details, like bringing extra napkins without us asking (needed when kids are present).

They put a generous layer of spiced seeds on top of the avocado, so there are lots of crunchy bits in every bite. I got the avocado toast with an over-medium egg on top, so my breakfast was a textural delight. I visited 8Eleven for a little brekkie, so I only know the morning menu. They have a pared down breakfast here, with a dozen or so options: a couple of omelets, a couple of toasts, eggs in different permutations. A parfait and an acai bowl and some steel-cut oats are also on the menu. They also offer fresh juice. The black coffee is great. The service is great. If you visit for breakfast around 7:30 or 8 a.m. like I did, there aren't too many people, so you'll probably get your food quickly. The restaurant itself is classy but not stodgy.
