From our initial greeting at the door to the time we exited the restaurant, first class service and meal all the way.

Really made my oldest daughter's birthday very special as the entire staff was very hospitable and bent over backwards to ensure that we had a great time by bringing us complementary desserts (3), sparklers and brought us two copies of our family picture that they took for us.

Our server even sent us a follow-up "thank you" card by mail several days later. Nice touch.

Leo Verde and his entire team do a wonderful job and run a very clean, fun and friendly restaurant. Also, for those that like Stone Crabs, Sullivan's now has them.

Sullivan's does a good job but I'd rank them about third on the list of Steakhouses in BR. Leo is a great manager.

Leo Verde

I was interning with a lawyer that would always go to Sullivans, and I met Leo, and he was just an all around nice guy. Made sure we were always hooked up during the lunch meetings I attended

Ate there Sat night and agree that Leo is the boss. That being said, Sullivan's isn't anywhere close to being the best steakhouse in BTR. Not to start a FDB fist fight but I would have to go with Ruth's every time.

Leo stayed in the bar area chatting up some ladies the entire time on my last visit. The only times I saw him were when I arrived at the restaurant and when going to the restroom. He was at the bar the whole time.


Took them 3 tries to get my ribeye cooked correctly of which everyone at the table and waitstaff agreed on the incorrect cooking of the steak. By the time I finally got it cooked correctly everyone else at my table was done eating their meals completely.

I was visited by what appeared to be a lower level manager on the second cooking of the steak not the third. I didn't see a single thing comped for this. Not a drink, dessert, nothing.


Sullivan's will not get anymore of my money.

My sweet Buddy.

ETA: Not a Sullivan's fan. Even when I've gone for cocktails, they have managed to leave me disappointed.

Used to be my regular spot for drinks when I was underage though

Glad you enjoyed it. I haven't been back since I waited an hour and a half for a rare filet that came out more akin to a lump of charcoal.
