| - Despite some of the other mostly lukewarm reviews (which usually impact our decision to try a new restaurant), we decided to brave it.
After a short 30-minute wait (not bad for a busy Saturday night) we were seated and served drinks promptly. I ordered the first Cabernet on the menu and (recommended by our uber-cool waiter Gavin) and it was good...in fact they do a pretty good pour.
The interior looks completely different from the 98 South days, but is still really cool with murals of a "downtown Chandler circa early 1900's with a bit of contemporary flair." There is outside patio seating which is fantastic on a spring night.
While many were dressed casually (shorts and golf shirts), this isn't a pub or bar atmosphere. I'd recommend it for a date night or pseudo-nice evening out so dress comfortably but not flip-flops and ripped jeans.
I'm sure the place is fine with kids, but I'd recommend against bringing them unless they're really well-behaved since there's a lot of hustle and bustle.
The bread was warm and fresh.Our salads were also fresh and uncomplicated, and the wasabi cream dressing was really flavorful.
I ordered the filet mignon and my hubby ordered the pike...they were both cooked to order, had great flavor and very tasty! They must have listened to some of the reviews and gotten it together because everything from the service, ambience, apps and entrees were great!
The prices were really reasonable ($24 for a 9 oz. filet, with bread, salad and baked potato.)
Unfortunately we were too full to handle dessert, but we'll definitely be back to try that too.
I'd actually rate DC Steak House 4.5 stars if I could, but Yelp doesn't have that as an option.)
I recommend you check it out and see for yourself!!
