| - I absolutely agree with the composite 3.5 star rating and most of the recent reviews of good, not great, food and Mike P's comment about rating Shula's on overall value...because it's over-priced compared to other high-end steak houses. This was our first visit to a Shula's Steak House and our expectation was that it would be comparable to Ruth Chris or Morton's but probably short of our favorite, Steak 44 at 44th & Camelback.
Specifically, my wife loved her lobster bisque, ribeye and creme brulee trio. She would rate Shula's with 5 stars. I, on the other hand, thought my wedge salad was good and my ribeye was OK but a bit on the chewy side...not as tender and flavorful as hers, apparently.
All in all, 3.5 is fair but honestly I'd go 4 stars if the prices were more reasonable. Shula's markets itself as a 5 star steak house but falls a bit short in my estimation. In it's defense, the decor and the service are every bit 5 star. But be warned this restaurant is inside a casino and the blast of nicotine, as you enter the casino to reach the restaurant, is disgusting if you're not or have ever been a smoker.
