The culinary wizards at Bascom's conjure up hearty helpings of flavorful surf 'n' turf to adorn a menu of classic steakhouse dishes. Limber up dinner-chomping muscles with appetizers such as oysters Rockefeller, anointed with Pernod liqueur and hollandaise sauce ($9.95), great for silencing grumbling stomachs before they recite inappropriate limericks. Bascom's classic steakhouse dishes, such as the slow-roasted prime rib ($23.95 for a queen cut), feature midwestern grain-fed Angus steer aged for a minimum of 28 days. Amid starched white tablecloths, sample the flavors of the ocean without the hassle of stealing a mermaid's lunchbox with fresh fish and seafood dishes including sweet Alaskan king crab legs ($37.95) or Mr. B's grouper sautéed with a savory mélange of veggies ($25.95). Midday munching begins with the prime rib sandwich, which enlists the aid of a thick slab of certified Angus roasted prime rib to span the distance between two slices of sourdough bread ($11.95). Meanwhile, an extensive wine list features a cornucopia of dionysian delights to extinguish the flames of a fiery thirst or a spontaneously combusting friend.
