I don't know the neighborhood well, so I can't compare this restaurant to the other options in the area. It's at the bed of the Staten Island ferry, let's start there. Being a New Yorker, and originally from the north shore of Long Island, for a steak house the ambiance and clientele wasn't too classy.
THE FOOD:
The ceased salad to start was cheesey and delicious. It was well dressed, definitely not for someone on a diet. I had the sirloin for my main course. I think they put too many fries on my plate, but other than that, order it medium rare and you're set! I would say the entire experience is very average.
Was supposed to go to a different restaurant in the area but they were having a party so had to used yelp to find an alternative for lunch and happen to found this place. Upon entering you can see their aged steaks in their version of the meat locker. The restaurant was almost completely empty so we had options of sitting at a normal table or booth. We opted to sit at the booths.
We decided to share a field greens salad to start and for entrees we had ruddy burger with mushrooms and swiss cheese, and dean's steak sandwich with a side of onion rings. The field greens were fresh and the vinaigrette was a little on the sweet side but was tasty. The ruddy burger was better than an average burger. Was juicy and flavorful. Dean's steak sandwich tasted almost like a philly cheesesteak sandwich. The onion rings were just nasty. Do not order that. Tasted like cheap carnival quality batter. Tasted really oily. Ate a few piece and tossed the entire order.
Overall, it was a decent restaurant in the area. A good burger and steak sandwich. Onion rings was nasty and I was actually kind of disgusted by it. They kind of try to be a high end steakhouse but I feel like their food quality is not there yet.
Don't bother.
For the cost of a meal here, you could easily have eaten at a far better steakhouse ( Peter Luger etc.) Or eaten a comparable steak at Outback for less than half the price. The food is terribly overpriced.
The owner is incredibly nasty and rude.
There are far nicer establishments with better (and cheaper) food in St. George.
