I'm going right in with 5 stars. I had high expectations but was still doubtful this place could compete with Tornado. Drinks weren't quite as strong but the food was excellent. I had the bone fillet and they cooked it exactly as I requested (charred rare). The steak is enough for two. The wedge salad was outstanding and they weren't shy with the blue cheese. Do they use bacon grease to make the vinaigrette? Crispy cheese hash browns are recommend as a side. Hot buns and honey butter round out the rest of the strakhouse food groups. Tornado is a bit more fancy but on my first experience here the food quality was right up there and the prices were a bit less. Service was friendly as well and as prompt as can be expected considering the flight of stairs.
