I gave this four stars only because we've been twice prior and have absolutely loved it. If I was grading on this visit alone I would have awarded three stars. We went to Shula's for my birthday dinner, which included a free entrée. The dinner was amazing with one exception...MY ENTRÉE. The service was fast and efficient, bread and wine were wonderful and the beefsteak tomato and gorgonzola salad was easily split by the two of us. The two tomato slices were huge and dominated the salad, so if you like that much tomato this is the salad for you. My wife thought it was spectacular; it was a little much for me. My wife ordered the special, which was a crusted Chilean Sea Bass and was absolutely perfectly prepared, while I ordered the 16 oz. New York Strip. At a quality restaurant my wife will normally order a seafood dish, I'll order a steak and we'll work the whole splitzy thing. When my steak was delivered they ask you to cut into the middle to determine if it is properly prepared. I always order my steak medium rare, so I cut into it and it was still raw in the middle. While they were putting the steak back on the grill my wife and I split the seabass and were amazed at how thick the cut of seafood was and how perfectly moist and flavorful it was served. I feared it might be undercooked in the middle due to its size, but the fear was unfounded. The steak was returned about half way through the seabass and I while it was now a perfect medium rare I could not believe how tough and bland it was. My wife commented when she saw me adding salt and pepper to the steak as I don't think I've ever had to add anything at a fine steakhouse. I told her to taste hers and she immediately had me pass the salt and pepper to her. Very disappointing. For a side we ordered the crab mac/cheese which is always a winner and tonight was no different. We rotate the side on our visits between the crab mac/cheese and lobster mashed potatoes and both are phenomenal. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the layered chocolate cake we had comped for my birthday as it was huge and we just took it to go. All in all we had an enjoyable dinner experience, but the weakest part of the meal should not be one of their signature steaks. From a meat standpoint I'll stick to either the filet or prime rib, both of which are top notch.
