They finally stepped up their game when it comes to the sides. No longer a choice, unless you specify a baked potato, you get creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. Thankfully, the spinach is no longer just some sloppy filler and the prime rib was as…More »

The ribs are FREAKIN' AWESOME! I thought I've had some good ribs in my life but I've been ignorant. I've discovered the perfect sweet potato fry too! Thick but crispy with a very flavorful-is that a hint of horseradish?-dip. Please sir, can I have…More »

My medium-rare ribeye arrived still mooing and his medium filet medallions came out well done. Paired with oil dripping fried pickles, this was not my best experience.

I stopped buying steaks (and ham!!) at the grocery store after I discovered Omaha. They are even competitively priced at $6-$12 (only if you order during their always occurring sales) They are by far the best steaks-by-mail available (yet I'm…More »

I was hooked immediately. I wanted another fix so bad--it hurt. It took weeks of rehab to stop constantly thinking about Harris. Now I try to keep my thoughts about Harris private, they think I'm less crazy that way.

We decided we had a fever that could only be cured by the two pound bone-in ribeye. Unfortunately, there were no reservations available, after all this was a last minute declaration. Thankfully, we were given the option to enjoy our meal in the…More »

I'm still upset that I had to watch my dining companion finish eating the bone-in filet after I threatened him into letting me try it.
This is my destiny. I was born to eat bone-in filets.
It. Was. Like...the first time I heard the Beatles.

Ariella provided us with some awesome service in the bar! She kept my dirty martinis flowing as we enjoyed a happy hour appetizer sampling. I was using the $30 off coupon that they send for birthdays, which I was even more thankful for when I saw…More »

My bf and I had a plan to hop into the car and head south for brunch and an afternoon of exploring tide pools.
I checked Yelp for champagne brunch recommendations in Monterey and came up with Mission Ranch. The split reviews caused me to be a…More »
This ended up being a perfect stop on the way up to the Outside Lands Festival. It's right off the highway. It will soon become a regular, perfect stop on the way up to the SF Zoo.

It's dinner and a show at Morton's, although the show is slightly unnerving. They hold the menus hostage until completing an animated presentation including steaks, whole lobsters and vegetables presented on a cart rolled to your table. The server…More »

I drove by yesterday and it was gutted. I'll miss the brisket, pitchers of beer and the random videos we created while waiting forever for service.

Decent steaks, bad oysters and super slow service.
The "King's Cut" prime rib was colossal! When it was brought out everyone at our table was ooo-ing, ahh-ing and wondering who ordered such a massive piece of beef. Then it was placed on our table.…More »

The location was perfect to grab a bite before a show at the Warfield.
The bone-in rib eye was a tender delight but I could have passed on the New York strip. The sides were nothing special, we did the three forms of potato; puree, gratin and garlic…More »
Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find the Steak House to be expensive. Four entrees only totaled $150! That's what I usually spend on a party of two in Cali.

I'll go back for the steaks but ordering the seafood may be questionable. Having more than I did, my friend is suspected to have gotten sick from the shrimp.

I finally got a job so my sweetheart decided to treat me to a steak after a stroll along the Boardwalk.

With only one steak option on the menu, they should have to change their name. I was really surprised when I saw it was cafeteria style, and I got exactly what I paid for, $14 of mediocre beef.
I wanted a nice sit down dinner with the homies before we got the party started. It being the oldest steakhouse in Vegas, I had to give it a try.
The place is pretty swank if you like that old school feel, which I do. The cozy booths and the piano…More »
