Becks Steak and Seafood - 06.12.27

This night, I went to Becks Steak and Seafood for an anual Christmas Dinner with a group of friends. This isn't my first time here, but it is my first time EATING here. I was over an hour and a half late so my friends helped me order. Thus, I can't really comment on the service except that my food was served almost immediately as I walked through the door. Good timing I suppose.

Veal Scaloppini Sautée In Garlic, Mushrooms, And Marsala Wine

This is the Veal Scaloppini Sautée In Garlic, Mushrooms, And Marsala Wine from Becks. The Scaloppini came out luke warm, so slightly disappointing. There was only a very faint almost non-existent hint of marsala in the sauce but hardly any of it was absorbed into the mushrooms or the veal. I was expecting a more potent flavor from the marsala. The veal itself wasn't overcooked and wasn't tough chewy at all. However, it's consistency reminded me that of a piece of hamburger patty from McDonalds, has been overcooked at sitting for a long time. Then again, I i'm not an expert on veal, so what do I know. Right? The veggies were nothing special, just your standards steamed veggies with some seasoning on it as was the mashed potatoes. The dish turned out to be 13 bucks for a filling meal.

Overall, pretty average food but at a decent price. Would I go again? With the right people? Sure. But I might order something different.
