Boy where do I start.... first time here and unfortunately my experience left me yearning for so much more.
My review is solely based on personal preference and by experience at Steak and Stone last night. It came recommended by some friends and yelp did have it at four stars so I decided to give it a try.
First let me preface this by saying that I was there with a party of 8. We were celebrating two birthdays and Father's Day for my Dad and myself. All very special occasions that we did not get to fully enjoy.
I tried to make reservations elsewhere but a lot of places were booked. Capital grille had availability but we thought why spend so much more when we can maybe find a place for a bit cheaper. At this point I wish I would have stuck with capital grille.
First thing I noticed was that the decor was ok and felt more like a Outback Steakhouse. The tables were giant. And because of that it did not feel cozy. They had live music and the music was so loud that we literally could not hear each other and were yelling across this giant table. Even our waitress was not able to hear us and vice versa. If I could make any suggestion about the live loud music it would be to stop. This is not whiskey row.
Second the place was not that busy and when we ordered the drinks the waitress forgot about them. Half an hour went by and still no drinks or waitress. I finally got fed up and went to the bar myself and got the drinks within 5 minutes.
On to the food. I got the New York Strip and honestly was the worst piece of meat I have eaten. I am not exaggerating this because the week prior I had the same cut from firebirds steakhouse and wow what a difference. This cut had so much fat and cartridge on it that I could not even cut through it with the knife that was provided to me. Half way through I gave up on trying and did not finish the steak. For $37 dollars I expected way more.
I will not go on to describe what everyone else had because it is much of the same. But I will say no one left satisfied.
When I thought about writing a review for steak and stone I certainly did not think it would be this. I hope that this place turns it around if it plans to remain in business.
