I ordered my steak medium, but it arrived well done. To make matters worse, a drooping, waterlogged lobster tail had been placed directly on top of the steak, leaving the meat not only dark gray but also watery. Instead of a perfectly cooked steak, I was served something that looked and tasted overcooked and soggy.
When I mentioned it to the server, she told me to cut it open. I did, and the inside was dark gray from edge to edge. Rather than apologizing or immediately offering to replace it, she said that if I really wanted to, she could take it back, but that it looked fine to her.
At that point, I gave up. I ate an overcooked, chewy, waterlogged steak along with cold frites and vegetables that had clearly been sitting for a while. The service made an already disappointing meal even worse.
Steak Avenue has a nice atmosphere, but if they can't cook a steak properly, or stand behind it when they don't, I can't recommend it. Steak Avenue
should be called "Steak Cul-de-Sac," because you'll want to walk in... and then walk right back out.
