SOLID 3 stars from me on my first and recent visit to Beef and Bottle. Old school, local steakhouse the sets the mood with dark lighting, carpeted floors and rat pack music in the background. We went on 1/2 price wine night, which is the way to go. Ordered the 14oz New York Strip med-rare and it came out perfect. Flavor was good, though I like a little more char on the outside. Came w/one side and the "create your own salad" for $34. Not bad and I appreciate the side included in the price. I ordered the button mushrooms and onion rings on the side, though the steak does come with an onion ring garnish.
The cheese & crackers are old school. Good cheese spread with crackers still in the packet. Reminds me of the supper clubs I grew up going to in the upper Midwest. I also add a chance to taste my wife's shrimp cocktail that she ordered as part of her filet combo special that night...just ok on the shrimp. They were small and had that recent defrosted taste to them, which was a downer. Service was friendly and attentive. It's a casual place where you can save some money and get a really good steak for the money.
