Steak Knife Restaurant

"By far the sorriest excuse for a steak restaurant I’ve ever been to. Besides being treated like murderers for showing up at at 7:40 on a Friday night (I served tables for 10 years, sure it’s annoying when people show up right before close…. But 45mins to an hour before close……???), the steak was easily the worst I’ve ever had… That sums it up. Take your money right up the road to Rizzuto’s Ristorante and Chophouse (get the Spinalis), or ANY of the following places for a steak: Chophouse, Charlie’s, Crescent City Steak House, Doris Metropolitan, Clancy’s, Galitoire’s, Ruth’s, although none of these names should even be mentioned in the same 5 or 10 breaths as “the Steak Knife.”"

"I have never experienced a ruder owner than I did at The Steak Knife Restaurant tonight. I do NOT recommend going especially with bigger parties. We went with a group of us for a friend’s birthday and haven’t seen each other in a while. We were towards the end of our dinner and the owner walked over and in the RUDEST tone ever said “yall are being too loud.” And we asked if he was joking or being serious because there’s no way that this guy was coming over and saying that to us SO RUDELY without it being a joke. We were laughing and having a great time, but we were not overly loud…. And if we were being overly loud, there is a nicer way of asking us to please lower our voices. He ruined the mood and I will NEVER come back again. I am appalled by the way this man spoke to us. I will say our waiter was excellent and it wasn’t his fault. I feel bad for him having to work for someone like that. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE."

"After surviving hurricanes and a fire, this family-owned restaurant has thrived in the Lakeview neighborhood. It hasn't caved to the increased prices of other steak restaurants but instead continues to provide a quality dining experience for families, business dinners and other clientele. The service is impeccable, the wine and drink prices are reasonable and competitive, the food is rich and savory. Our only critique is that they are not open for longer hours. The Steak Knife is a real treat!"

"Customer service when entering was very underwhelming. Took a while for someone to greet us. Seemed as though the owners didn’t care, maybe because we didn’t look the part. Fried eggplant had no flavor. Steak was pretty good, besides it being a little on the salty side. Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful. If it wasn’t for her I’m not sure we would go back."

"This place is a gem! Everything from the time you walk in. My husband and I sat at the bar which is a beautiful set up where you can eat and enjoy your meal. There's also a full service dining room completely separate from the bar. This place is such a treat, our favorite so we have basically tried everything on the menu. The apps are so fresh the smoked salmon served w cream cheese and toast points topped w capers, Yumm! The crab claws are meaty w tons of flavor and the onion rings, thin and crispy just so good. If you like escargot you will love the way this one is prepared! I could go on but let me tell y'all about the steaks. I love the filet MR it comes on a sizzling plate drizzled w fresh butter. My husband went for the ribeye R, also on a bubbling buttery plate, talk about cleaning his plate! Everything is made to order so it's nice to try a Caesar salad while you wait for the main course. Another win! The complementary bread and butter is even that good. Try the cream spinach, we went for the augratin potatoes as well! It's so hard to chose a side, there's plenty to choose from all delicious! Don't forget to inquire about their specialty chocolate Martini for dessert! If you have never been you truly are missing out! Chef's Kiss!"
