This was our first time attending this restaurant. Nick was AMAZING, AWESOME, KIND AND UNDERSTAND toward our dietary needs.Our food was OUTSTANDING! If you have allergies, we highly recommend you create and print your own allergy card to hand to your server. It makes a huge impact on your foods preparation from the cooks and the manager.My wife had the see bass and I had the ribeye.I had the smoked old fashion as well. Highly recommend. Its definitely high quality food and as such can be more expensive. Coming from a person who doesn't generally eat out often, this place is definitely top notch!Ask for Nick and have a great time.Dietary restrictions: My wife cannot have gluten, dairy, corn products, and more.

We enjoyed the petite fillet medium rare; both were cooked to perfection! Aside from being super delicious they were as tender as could be … worth, every penny! One of us enjoyed the lobster tail addition served with brown butter… Simply scrumptious! Service was right on point, was a great experience. Probably our third time here; will definitely return again & again!

We found this little spot by accident and oh! Thank you universe! Chef Tommy should have his own brand. I will follow him until he retires. The food - EVERYTHING - was perfection. My husband and I are foodies and this was the best… best steak, best burger, best sides. Better than Ruth’s Cris, or Shula’s, or Cristner’s. It was every bit as good as Bern’s in Tampa, maybe better. Our server, Sierra, was delightful. Don’t sleep on this place.

The only reason that the review wasn't five stars was because my porterhouse Steak came out looking like a million dollars, but something overcooked the tenderloin. the Strip side was perfect. Ed the owner wanted to do the entire steak over and that was just unnecessary as I eat the Strip side and either my wife but usually, I take it home and treat my son's wife on Sunday morning when they come with the Grandchildren to play. I told him the story and as we were leaving, he presented us with two filets. I am proud to have the Steak House in our neighborhood. The word is out so get your reservations early. their wait staff is special we had Janne, Renee' with a J and we are already instant friends.

Okay we had to go back for our second visit. I can tell you it doesn't get much better than this! What I really love is that it's a casual and not an ostentatious mistake house. Don't get me wrong it's not an expensive, but it's worth every single bite. Last night my wife treated herself to a beautiful fillet with mushrooms and a baked potato and I got the 16 oz ribeye with Gorgonzola and killer risotto along with the roasted brussel sprouts. I truly have not found a better steakhouse to go to even once that cost twice as much and almost demand that you have an expense account. This is a little place out in the middle of Florida hills and a strip mall, you would never expect to find a fantastic steakhouse like this anywhere like this. I don't normally like the name servers, but if you get a chance ask for Kevin he knows how to read a table and you will have an experience that will last you for a long time.

I made a reservation for my partners birthday. Everything went well and service was excellent until it came time for dessert. The waitress asked if we'd like dessert, when I had specified that a piece of chocolate cake be brought to the table, while making the reservation so it would be a surprise. I told her I'd like a piece of chocolate cake as mentioned in the reservation, and she said " oh, I never check the reservations". I'm going to guess that the front of the house didn't either, to inform the waitresses. Very disappointing. We did get our cake. But I will never make a reservation to attempt to surprise someone on their birthday ever again.

3 of us went on Thursday night. We had a wonderful server. Ginny was her name I think. My husband had the Blackened Steak Tips Dinner and he said it was the best meal he has ever eaten. We also had the Baked Artichoke Dip appetizer which was delicious. All 3 of us loved our server, the food and the atmosphere.

Ribeye was full of gristle and flavorless. Baked potato was a bland, hard reheated potato. Bananas foster was like soup. You would expect more for a $180 meal. I guess they cook their food at the owners bar next door Beef O’Brady’s. Would still not be worth it at half price.

Excellent experience. We did have some interpretations due to a anniversary. People would come over and strike up a loud conversation. It was rude to them too. The steaks were fabulous.
