      <content>I went a few weeks ago and Loved It.  Had the steak that comes with their homemade steak sauce and it was very similar to Peter Luger's in Brooklyn.  Mmmmm.  I have sent probably 10 people there and the ones who do NOT like it are not really "into" food as much as the others who looooved it so I am thinking either you love or hate it depending on how flexible you are with interpretations of standards.  I am told to avoid the Ceasar salad.  Beet salad rocks though.  I also enjoyed the dark, cozy atmosphere - I thought it was sort of romantic and comfortable but still got you looking foward to whatever was ordered.  We had great service, too.    </content>

      <content>The sauce.  Are you kidding?  I WISH I could find that kind of steak here.  </content>

      <content>Well that's kind of what I was getting at.  If it was the steak I was going to hold myself back because Luger's is, as you know, pretty much the bar with which all other's are judged.

We don't have a particularly good steakhouse in St. Louis in my opinion.</content>
