Cote d'Or at the InterContinental Hotel - Aqaba, Jordan at the Red Sea - The InterContinental's steak house, Cote d'Or was a delightful surprise.
We had not planned on dining at Cote d'Or, a five star, fine dining, steak house but one evening when we were checking out the hotel we stopped in to take a look-see and were so impressed with the looks of the restaurant and the food and wine menus we made reservations for that night.

We arrived later that night to a mostly empty restaurant and the sound of a live violinist playing pop music. A bit tacky at first but soon she was done with the 90's music and on to something a bit more suited for a fine dining restaurant.
For appetizers we had Cream of Mushroom Soup and Rucola Salad; both were good indicators of what was to come - a bombastic dinner!
We both had the filet mignon, their specialty and mashed potatoes and vegetables on the side. The filets were perfect. Only complaint was we didn't have large enough appetites, the servings were huge. To top off the filets we had pepper sauce, a bit too spicy for me and a beautiful wine sauce. A beautiful bottle of Chateau d'Armailhac and the dinner was complete.
Desert was typical, a brownie w/ice cream and a warm apple tart, neither of which compared to the five star dinner we just had but as I had mentioned earlier, our appetites were not that big so we didn't really mind.
Service was good. Not as polished as you would hope for in great steak house like this but his warmth and genuineness made up for it and helped to make the evening special.
Now the question, would I come back, would I recommend Cote d'Or to you? Yes, to both. If I make it back to Aqaba I would come here again. If you are headed that way, be sure to check it out.
