Went to Arthur's SteakHouse in Exton with two other couples. Brought my $100 restaurant.com certificate.

3 of us had the weekend buffet and 3 had a la carte. The buffet had a chicken breast with crispy skin and stuffed with mushrooms and vegetables in a brown sauce. There was also flounder florentine in a cream sauce. I also had the prime rib from the carving station, but instead of having them make pasta at the pasta station, I had the chef saute shrimp, sausage, garlic, and some chopped onion, tomato, and green pepper and pour it on top of the prime rib. The prime rib was rarer than I liked, so he put it in the au jus pot to cook some more.

Dessert was build your own coffee with whipped cream, caramel sauce, and chocolate sauce. I had the apple crumb pie which was made in-house (thanks Teresa) and a slice of cheesecake which was very creamy and delicious.

All of this except for my Diet Coke (funny but true) was included in the buffet. I think I liked the chicken best. For something out of a steam tray in sauce, the skin was golden and crispy.

We ended up $35 shy of the $200 required to take off the $100 gift card (coupon), so the non-buffet crowd each had dessert and coffee. We were still $3 shy so I got some wings to go.

At the end of it all, with 6 meals, two wines, tax, and tip, it was $24 per person after the coupon came off.

I didn't have any shrimp from the salad bar, but I did have the chicken tortilla soup and some corn bread.

I love that place.
