After almost 600 reviews, this is actually the first time I find myself wanting a half a star.  The problem is that I really feel like 4 stars is too few, but five stars is too many.  4.5 would be perfect here.  Not perfect for a rating, because 5 would be perfect of course, but it would be the perfect rating for this dinner.  So it will have to get a 4 star.  They just didn't quite make it to 5 stars.  Sorry, guys.\n\nWith another restaurant week on us, we decided to browse the menus a bit and see if we can come up with something different.  Always like to try and come up with somewhere new to go.  That's when I noticed The Speedway Club.  I knew they were there, of course, but never thought about going.  In fact, I thought you had to be a member to get in (as it turns out, you do, but not during restaurant week).  As a bonus, their menu was one of the best on the list.  So we made reservations.\n\nFor an appetizer, we chose the onion rings and warm pimento cheese dip (with crackers).  These were also served with a nice selection of breads.  For perhaps the first time in my adult life, I didn't get a refill on bread.  I don't even know if they offered a refill on bread.  The appetizers were both solid offerings.  Not excellent, but quite good.\n\nI decided on the filet mignon for dinner.  I'm usually a fan of ribeye, but the filet sounded really good.  Denise went with the salmon.   Both were good.  I found that the risotto that came with the salmon was better than the salmon itself.  It was that good.  On the steak, I was floored.  It was un-freaking-believable.\n\nThis just might be the best steak in the QC.  A small portion (6 oz), served with roasted garlic and a parmesan-crusted potato cake, it was the best piece of steak I've head in a really long time.  Maybe ever.  I just about ordered my dessert to go so I didn't ruin the taste.  I just wish that I could get into the place on a regular basis to taste that filet.\n\nThe desserts were good, but nothing compared to that steak.\n\nWhy the 4.5?  The first thing is the noise (and not from the track).  It is a really cool view, looking over the track, and being able to see what's going on is nice.  But for a nicer environment, the place can get a little loud.  So much so that it's tough to hear what the person on the other side is saying.  The desserts are good, and the appetizers are good, but not great.  The service was attentive all night, and I would like to give them more than a 4, but not quite a 5.\n\nSweet Tea Report: Yes, I ordered a sweet tea.  The server even told me he made it, and it was sweet.  Unfortunately, it wasn't.  It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very sweet.  So I'd probably suggest passing unless you like just average tea.  I didn't figure this into the rating, as the tea is drinkable, but it's just not that sweet.
