Tonight’s dinner was at Mile High Steak and Seafood. I discovered this neighborhood gem a few months ago and have been a frequent visitor since.
Mile High is located in Glen Mills in a strip center just to the east of the intersection of Rtes 1&202 on Baltimore Pike. I was surprised to learn that the restaurant has been in place for approximately two years.
I have not dined at Mile High on a Sunday before this. The restaurant had a larger private party in its back dining room and much to my surprise, we were the only party seated in the main dining room. This is an absolute shame because the dining room is a contemporary beautiful design and the food is extremely good. I hope it was just an anomaly due to the cold and rainy night outside.
I wanted to try Mile High on a Sunday because of their new Sunday December special. That special was a complimentary 6 oz. Filet Mignon dinner with the purchase of a Prime Rib Dinner ($34). This is easily a $40 value in most of the well known steak houses!
Tonight, we ordered 2 orders of the Lobster Mac n Cheese which is actually a side dish on the menu, but we wanted them as our appetizers. This was absolutely decadent! The sauce was smooth and creamy and there was a generous amount of lobster throughout the fusili pasta. Each side dish was $10, but when ordering 2 plates for 4 people, it is a very reasonably priced appetizer at $5 per person. Mile High also gives a very nice bread basket with homemade rolls and bread along with regular butter and a very good apricot flavored butter.
Before the main course is served at Mile High, you are treated to a scoop of lemon sorbet to cleanse the palate. I am not a big fan of the lemon sorbet, but it is a nice touch.
We ordered for the table 2 orders of Prime Rib and received 2 complimentary 6 oz Filet Mignons. I should also say that both Filets were served with their own vegetables as well! My partner and I split half of the Prime Rib and half of the Filet so we could have some of each and both cuts of meat were done to perfection and had great flavor. The meat is also served with a complimentary steak sauce and we both chose the gorgonzola one whereas our other 2 dining partners chose the mile high sauce which is a more traditional Worcestershire based sauce. The gorgonzola sauce was truly outstanding! The other nice touch with Mile High vs. other steak houses is that sides are included!
My companion and I both chose mashed potatoes and broccoli for the sides. This is the first time for me in trying the mashed because I usually opt for the scalloped potatoes au gratin which they did not have this evening, but I would say that the mashed were very good! The steamed broccoli was done perfectly!
My other two dining companions as I said above had the same dinner as well, but slightly changed the side dishes with one having a baked potato and the other having asparagus. All of their sides were very good as well!
Normally, I will think about dessert, but not tonight! Even this “Fat Foodie” was quite full after this meal.
This is a restaurant with excellent value and the wait staff and management team are first class! If you cost-average the entrees, it was $17 per person with sides!! Total bill before tax and tip was $97. I don’t know if Mile High will continue this Sunday special beyond December, but even if they do not, there are numerous great offerings in a beautiful setting!
