We ordered the crab legs for an appetizer and although they were good they were not any better that the Wynns Buffet ones. My significant other got the porterhouse (which is their specialty and recommended by us) medium-rare and was very happy with it. It is your basic steak- no intricate flavor- you are paying and receiving the meat. It wasn't super soft, but it was a formidable steak. I ordered the filet mignon medium-rare which is what I always order. My steak was short of terrible. I've had better steaks at Outback. However, I really thought it was a cooking error so I told the waiter. My steak was charcoaled where it tasted like I was eating just burnt meat straight of a someone's backyard grill and was pretty tough for a filet mignon. Waiter told me this is just the way a wood burning grill tastes. I told him that my SO's had the grill lines he was speaking of and that it didn't taste like charcoal. He then pushed a prime rib on me- seriously, asked me what I would want then he suggested a prime rib and I was unsure and he went off to go get it for me in less than 3 minutes. Now, I wouldn't have had a problem with it if he thought it really was a good choice considering my tastes. But, if someone likes the lean-ness of a filet mignon I don't understand how you can suggest the prime rib. It was alright, but, it was nowhere near the top 10 or 20 steaks Ive had. I didn't say anything again because I didn't want to make a fuss. We had the porterhouse, prime rib, Alaskan crab legs, 2 soft drinks, no dessert- after tip it was $135. My overall opinion for me is that this is a do-not-return. However, it is still a great value for steak on the strip. I suggest you stick to something fattier for the taste and to withstand the wood burning grill. If this is something like a magical 25 yr anniversary and you are into the whole experience then I suggest you try somewhere "nicer".
Pros: porterhouse, dark ambience, service was attentive
Cons: kind of a boring steak
