Looking for a rec to take my son for his 18th birthday dinner.

Steakhouse?

Atmosphere?

Memorable?

Would love to check all those boxes, but if something trumps the others fine with that as well.

Thanks!

Little more context… just you and him? His buddies? Family? Any younger siblings?

Does it have to be a steakhouse? Or can you get a steak if that's what one of y'all wanted at a non-steakhouse?

If looking for a steakhouse:
The Husky

With an 18 year old I’d go with atmosphere and memorable

The Husky is a great suggestion that also fits the steakhouse bill. If you want steak that’s the perfect place for this scenario.

There are also free whiskey shots in the bathroom so the boy can tie one on.

Women's has gin is what I am told.

I tend not to piss in the same room that houses my glassware so I have never tried a shot.

If you’re strictly sticking with Steak, Doris Metro, Desi Vega and Mr John were all available

Meril is a fairly loud happening restaurant he’d enjoy

For something slightly nicer Irene’s would be a good choice

He’ll be able to have a drink with you

Thoughts on a pregame spot or post meal? Think we will end up at Dickie Brennans.
