OK - so appearances aren't always everything. From the outside, The Tulip looks like a pretty sketchy restaurant and the neighborhood doesn't do much to convince you otherwide (with a seedy XXX video store across the street).
A friend had recently dined at the Tulip and recommended it to us. A day or two later, we received another recommendation to check it out. We thought - what the heck, lets see what the Tulip has to offer. Taking the recommendation that the steaks here are good, that's what I had. And it didn't disappoint. The mash potatoes on the other hand were pretty terrible and I the veggies were frozen and a little soggy by the time my plate reached the table.
The service was great! The staff was super friendly and our dinner was severed quick.
I'd definitely go back!
