That's the only reason I gave this place more than 1 star.\n\nThe steak was a big disappointment. My favorite cut of steak is the ribeye. A proper ribeye has an \"eye\" (longissimus dorsi) and a \"cap\" (spinalis) separated by a piece of fat. The steak I received was an extremely lean piece of beef, indistinguishable from a lean sirloin--no cap, no fat, and no flavor. It was barely one step above what you would get at a 24-hour diner. In addition to being incompetently butchered, the steak was also completely unsalted and unseasoned. The cook literally just took a raw piece of beef (sirloin?) and threw it directly onto the grill. What the hell? Even a beginner knows you have to season meat *before* you cook it to get the best flavor. Adding salt and pepper at the table is a distant second. To be accurate, the steak was cooked pretty much to the level of doneness I asked (I ordered rare, it came medium rare; close enough). But with no detectable beef flavor, this was cold comfort.\n\nWe also got the shrimp, and that also was a disappointment. It was stiff and rubbery. I've had better shrimp at a buffet.\n\nThe personalized loaf of bread sounded like a nice idea, but in practice the bread was dry. It really wasn't any better than the boring roll you would get at any other restaurant.\n\nThe prices are high. One 8 oz. steak and one steak & shrimp (no drinks) cost us over $50. We could have gone to the diner down the street and gotten an equivalent meal for less than half that amount. I would gladly pay more than $50 for two actual ribeyes of half-decent quality. This wasn't it.\n\nRead the Yelp reviews of this place with a critical eye. When people praise it to the sky because \"they were nice to my grandma\" and \"I grew up and/or went to college here and it makes me nostalgic\", instead of giving an honest appraisal of the food, there's a reason.\n\nIf you are interested in getting a good ribeye (or indeed anything tasty besides salad), The Ribeye is unfortunately not the place to eat."^^ . .
