Has anyone been there? Found the website but no prices. The food looks good, though.

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.

Joe Bonwich gave it a very favorable reviewed in this morning's P-D. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/ente...

"was very similar to Peter Luger's in Brooklyn"

The steak or the steak sauce?

[kbear]

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

[bobzemuda]

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.
