J CrowleyJ Crowley: Great steakhouse! Cowboy steak is good but filet is the true winner. Melts in your mouth. Get a side of veal butter for dipping. Avoid the creamed spinach - it tastes the way a barn smells; like hay.

DensDens: Laugh if you want about this being a touristy chain, but this was one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Filet with a bunch of the other sides (veal butter, bernaise) on the side!
