For the money you're about to spend, go somewhere else. Seriously.

Ruth's, Fleming's, Doe's (yes, I know it's not prime, but still damn delicious), Texas de Brazil, Sullivan's (yes, I know it's not prime), Ruffino's, Stroube's, and even J Alexanders (yummy filet) all serve a much better steak.

Wow. Really? I knew it was pricey but was hoping for the best. Is Ruth's and Flemings top of that list?

Agreed. Go elsewhere.

We had a party of 9, probably all got filets. They were just too damn thick so you cant get any cooking consistency, and they put some A1 type sauce on the outside. Creamed spinach was below average which I didn't know was possible.

The duck fat fries were delicious, and the fried oysters were good also.

Play an extra hand for $100 instead of spending it there...

That's a strange comment about thick filets.

Just go and get a damn steak. Smile at your wife and talk about happy things.

Haven't been yet. Going tonight. Not looking forward to it after these comments, but the wheels are already in motion. I'll post a review afterwards

Sound logic for the food board

Who would want to spend their money wisely? Not me. Smile and like it.

My thoughts as well. I was a bit disappointed in 18. Luckily, my expectations were not that great.

I went twice and for the money it's just not worth it. Flemings is much better from the service to the food. The people were rude and the service slow to non-existent.

I love raw hamburgers, why'd you send it back? I'm going to order a rare hamburger tonight (not at 18)...it's never rare enough though. The very center should be completely raw. No condiments needed.
