We did not like this place. Absolutely the worst food I've ever had at a "steak house".
Cocktails were terrible, tasted like pre-mix and way too sweet.
- "Escargot" was literally 80 percent mushrooms. Like why are there mushrooms in my escargot and why are they the main feature? I spend most of the time digging around the dish trying to find the escargot but kept coming up mushrooms. And the snails tasted like mushrooms. I could barely tell the difference.
The service was very odd. He kept coming over about every five minutes to check on us. May have well joined us on our date and sat at the table with us. This isn't good service, this is pure annoyance.
Here's the worst part: My husband and I love to get a little of everything and share every meal or plate. We always buy cocktails or wine, and our date night bills are always high, so we aren't looking to cheap out, we just like to explore as much of the menu as possible. At this steak house, we ordered appetizers & cocktails and then told the server we were planning on sharing the 65 dollar Surf & Turf, the most expensive meal on the menu. He said we would be charged 5 dollars to share. We had no problem with that, as we have experienced it before at other restaurants, as we like sharing and would rather have a little of everything than two huge meals. What I did have a problem with is that when our 6oz filet mignon arrived, they had split it onto two plates, and on top of that they actually cut the 6oz filet mignon in half horizontal and then cooked it. So, it was now about 1cm thick and no longer an 6oz filet, but two disgustingly thin 3oz filets. How could you cut my filet in half like this? I was in shock completely that we were not told ahead of time that this is what would happen. I would have refused. I want to enjoy my 65 dollar plate not have everything pre-cut up for me. The lobster was also so rubbery, we had to send it back, and they also cut that in half as you can see in my photo. By the time the lobster came back the meal was basically finished, I mean it was only 3oz of steak.
The steak was poorly seasoned, and over cooked, probably because they cut it in half and it's hard not to overcook a 3oz mini steak.
I couldn't leave fast enough. I had read so many reviews raving about this place, and I was highly disappointed in every part of my experience and the food.
I am saying this is not only the worst steak I've ever had but also the worst steak house I've ever been to.
This place is far from Delicious and I would highly recommend going anywhere else for a steak. Chain restaurants can cook a better steak at half the price than this place. Clearly this place caters only to a older crowd. Plus, it closes at like 9pm, so not really for a later dinner or date crowd.
Please do yourself a favour, leave Orleans and experience another steak house in the city. Do not take anyone on a date here unless you want to have a server chaperone you. read more
