Based on our waiter's recommendation, we ordered a 10-ounce medium-rare rib-eye steak and shadow shrimp, which cost $53. However, the steak, shrimp, potatoes, and salad platter weren't plated as nicely as the appetizer was.
The succulent, juicy jumbo shrimp was brushed with garlic butter and seasoned with spices that reminded me of Old Bay. I just wished our dinner had come with more than six pieces of shrimp.
Penumbra is a Latin-inspired steak house, so I had high expectations for our rib eye. It was good, but the meat wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped, and it needed more chimichurri sauce drizzled on top.
The sliced roasted potatoes were OK, but nothing about them stood out. However, we enjoyed the house salad made with a fruity vinaigrette, apples, clementines, and cheese.
