HAOLE Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I took the wife there with some friends tonight. The service was great! The food was even better! I had a fillet with broccoli and Au Gratin potatoes. Steak house salad. For desert we had a warm apple tart. Overall damage: $121.00 with tip. (+25.00 for sitter) What other high end steak houses are around? I think I can do this on a monthly basis. Thumbs Up :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 gee, for once i agree with you. when i was in columbus, the wife and i went to Morton's steakhouse on our anniversary. i also like the (downtown) mitchell's steakhouse almost as much as morton's. hyde park on the cap (downtown) is also a great place for steak. J alexander's up on rte 23 is also another nice place to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 And do you know why their steak is so soft? Moldy steak, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I agree with all the above recommendations. But in my book, the best steak and the best value are at The Top on Main Street, east of Bexley. It isn't trying to re-create a 1960's, Rat Pack atmosphere ..... it literally hasn't changed since the 1960's. Dark paneling, piano bar, stiff martinis, large portions, delicious filets--and no words like "balsamic" sprinkled in the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyplace that still offers Bernaise sauce is great in my book. Ruth's Chrisses Steaks Houses is good, but they use a ton of butter and salt to prepare and season the steak...not the meat's natural juices. Good, but not top quality.

I will put that on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDHG940 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 kobe beef has a lot more fat than the others. I think they call it the white beef, because it has so much fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Chain, I have eaten at Ruth's Chris in Columbus, Dallas, Atlanta, DC and Seattle. Mortons here and in San Jose. My favorite high-end place is in Dallas called 3 Forks (III Forks). I have eaten at Mitchells, I like that place as well. Good wine selection.

Nitrousbird Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 My fiancee likes to take me to Hyde Park for my birthdays. I've done both the Upper Arlington one and on the Cap. The Cap is much better IMO. Ruth's Chris is good, but I thought Hyde Park was better for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug1647545489 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'm not a big fan of chain high end steakhouses. I'd rather find a local place. When I used to travel, my co-worker and I would try to find the best local steakhouse and go there for at least one dinner. In Denver we went to Elways (it was ok), Indy it's alway St. Elmo. Here in Charlotte, I love Mickey and Mooches. For the chains, I've had pretty good success with Capital Grille. S&W is decent too. For C-bus I liked HP. Dublin or High street locations.

kirks5oh Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 too bad there are no good brazilian steakhouses in columbus just recently went to fogo de chou in chicago when i was there on business, and tampa has an identical one called boizau. for those of you who have never been to one, they're absolutely incredible. first, its all-you-can-eat. they've got a pretty sweet salad bar, and 4 sides that they continually bring to your table (fried banana, mashed potatoes, cheese rolls, and veggies). the best part: flip your coaster from red to green, and waiters immediately bring about 20 different types of meat to your table--bacon wrapped filet, top sirloin, bottom sirloin, ribeye, leg of lamb, pork, bacon wrapped chicken, gourmet sausage, and about 10 other types of beef/etc.---clearly, a vegetarian's worst nightmare.
