We made a reservation at 555 East American Steakhouse for a Thursday night to celebrate our anniversary, and overall, it turned out to be an amazing experience.
Parking options include valet or metered street parking. We opted for valet, which was $10 and very convenient.
The restaurant offers outdoor seating, and upon arrival, you check in inside. I do wish there were clearer signs because we were a bit lost trying to find the host at first.
Inside, the ambiance immediately stood out. There was a pianist playing, which really elevated the entire dining experience and set the tone for a romantic evening. The restaurant was also full for a Thursday night, which says a lot about how popular and well-regarded it is.
For food, we ordered the penne carbonara, vine-ripened tomato and burrata, and a 16oz ribeye cooked medium. Everything was delicious. The ribeye actually came out closer to medium rare. I personally prefer it that way, so I did not mind at all. My wife had ordered it medium, but she was also okay with medium rare, so it worked out for us.
We paired our meal with red wine, which complemented everything nicely.
For dessert, we ordered the chocolate soufflé, which takes about 16 minutes to prepare, and it was absolutely worth the wait. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, they also gave us a complimentary crème brûlée, which was a thoughtful touch.
The pianist continued playing throughout the night with short breaks in between, and it really helped maintain the atmosphere from start to finish.
Overall, the experience was amazing. Great food, great service, and a perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. We will definitely be back for future milestones.
