It's a mediocre chain steakhouse. Just get the cut of beef you would normally get at any other steakhouse.

I'm partial to the veal chop. Any cut you order will be tasty. Don't listen to the silly posts.

You can split the blue cheese wedge if that's something you enjoy.

The sides are all quite good and generous. Those are up to your taste. The sweet potato is one of my favorites with creamed spinach.

I also love the pecan praline freeze or something like that. I get to go to have at home in my pjs.

Well, as others have said, the menu likely has not changed.

I recommend starting with the Crab Cakes or Calamari. Maybe a glass of white to go with. The Ravioli isn't bad either. Maybe a soup or salad if you're in to that kind of thing. I usually go with the Caesar salad with anchovies on the side, or sometimes the Wedge if I'm feeling bleu.

Now it's time for a glass of fine scotch or a red wine.

95% of the time, I roll with the large Filet, Medium Rare. Easy on the black pepper, extra butter.



Or, if you prefer a Ribeye, by all means, go for it. Really can't go wrong whatever cut of meat you prefer.

Sides, get whatever you like. I haven't had a bad one yet. The creamed spinach is good, the brussel sprouts are (surprisingly) good. The only thing I've never gotten from there is the baked potato... cause it feels dumb to pay $8 for a baked potato. But, I'm sure it's delicious.

For desert, Ms. Magoo likes the alcoholic milk shakes, I usually pound a few cups coffee and order the cheesecake. But, just so you know, it's like a 4-5" diameter cheesecake, and it's not a traditional cheescake, almost more like a no-bake type cheesecake. Still good, but just so you know what's up. The crust is divine. I've never gotten any of the other desserts.

The key to the whole thing is embracing the experience. Treat yo self! Don't get hung up on the cost and do some dumb shite like not ordering a side, or going with the small filet if you really would prefer the large.

You're gonna be dropping $150-200 anyway (minus gift cards), what's an extra 10-20 bucks here or there.

The menu has changed. They omitted the spicy lobster app.

I'd go bone-in filet. Never had a good ribeye there and I'm a ribeye dude.

I remember you or LL mentioning that some time back and it's good to know especially when everyone at the table wants different sides. I can't begin to eat an entree and an entire side, but I like a few bites of a green vegetable and a potato side with the meat.

I always want a little cup of the lobster bisque, but the app is too big and rich, so I never order it. I would welcome a half serving.

Yeah. I asked Chris Bachman who runs the place and he said they weren't happy with the quality of chops they were sourcing so it got axed as a menu item.
