The steak was huge! The portions were very adequate. I could have eaten just the appetizers and been full. It is a bit pricy but it is worth the dollars! Our server was very attenative and super sweet. I will definitely be going back here for my next special occasion supper. I took my food home and ate leftovers for the next 2 days!

This was the best food we have ever eaten- ANYWHERE-including Europe! Absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was eloquent & awesome with the pianist playing upbeat music. The staff were top notch & absolutely amazing! This is a meal you will remember for many years! We highly recommend this restaurant if you love filet that melts in your mouth and the best fresh bread you have ever tasted! My husband and I love this restaurant! Price was also reasonable for the meal!

Best ribeye steak I've had here. So tender and juicy. Definitely recommmed. Skip the mash potato's though. Not made from Scratch. Steak was bomb. My friend had the porter house and really enjoyed that too. Also had live piano player, that was really nice too. Loved the ambience.

Was it perfect? No. Was it delicious? Yes. Service was professional and attentive but not NYC steakhouse quality. The sides of green beans and mushrooms were tasty. The NY Strip was medium rare as requested. Am I going back? Absolutely.

I came here on a rainy Saturday night and the service was horrible. A lady and what looked like a manager due to his wrinkled button down came and sat a water on my table and didn't even speak. They looked at me in disgust honestly. My steak was prepared well but it had no flavor didn't even have salt on it. I ordered the crab cakes which were mushy and NASTY. So, the waitress recommended the fried calamary which had good texture but also NO FLAVOR! The garlic mashed potatoes tasted like they were out the box. Bout the only thing I really enjoyed was the valet and the gentleman that played the piano. He was nice and asked me what kind of song I would like to hear. There was a lady and a guy at the bar who would casually look at our table and laugh. It was definitely a red neck vibe. 10/10 DONT RECOMMEND.

We made a reservation in advance and Let them know it was our ten years ago anniversary. I guess for $300 for two people I expected to be wowed. Our steaks were ordered medium, but my husband’s 10oz filet was nearly well done, and my 6oz filet was barely rare. The service was so-so. I might have thought she was great if we were at Saltgrass or Logan’s. But 20% on $300 needs to be earned. We aren’t talking about $5-$10, and she seemed a bit annoyed that we were at her station. Additionally, we were put in a hot corner in the back of the building next to a storage room where we were basically ignored. I would never go back to Sonny Williams unless someone else was paying. This was an experience I would have paid $60 for and been happy. But the price was not worth it.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening. Our server Jeremy did an excellent job of making it a great experience. The meal was delicious. Steaks cooked to perfection. Looking forward to the next time!!

Sonny’s isn’t the same. The goat cheese medallions were burned, crab cakes were fishy, medium steak was charred and rare, green beans were bland and the garlic mashed potatoes were stiff and cold. The lemon drop was decent but it was an off night for a usually very good restaurant. Shout out to the valet guys, they were awesome!

Let me start this review off clarifying a misunderstanding about Sonny's. "THIS NOT AN UPSCALE RESTAURANT" All though they try hard to dress her up to make it seem UPSCALE, however once you've had an opportunity to dine here you will see that it falls way short. Yes, their menu prices scream upscale, but the food quality is Texas Roadhouse quality at best. I took my wife here on Valentines Day because she wanted to try it because she's heard things about it around the office. So I surprised her and took her to Sonny's. The entrance to the inside the restaurant was dirty and very unappealing. The check in staff was all over the place with the seating arrangement despite requiring us to have a reservation, which we did. On this special night for couples Jimmy, the manager was in his jeans and t-shirt. What happened to at minimum, wear a sports coat ( not upscale)? We were seated after a short wait and our waiter was extremely nice and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I ordered the smoked pork chop cooked well and my wife the bone in ribeye steak. I should have ordered my chop medium because it was so dried out that the meat was stringy. My wife had the fatties steak and could only eat so much of it. So needless to say, the food and restaurant ambiance didn't live up to expectations. If you want to treat your loved one to true upscale and recommend Arthur's Prime.

Not a place to go for Valentine's Day. Was completely packed. Service was extremely slow and the food was not cooked all the way through. The steak or the loaded baked potato.

To start the review off I want to say the valets were extraordinary, and the fact they had complimentary valet on such a busy Street and time made it easy getting into the place. The waiter seemed a little bothered that I asked for a drink menu which didn't give me the best confidence . I ordered the Elden fashioned which was a really tasty drink by adding elderflower to a normal old fashioned. The lady got wine so no issues there. The crab cakes we got were pretty good, not the best we've had but held their own. Fast forward to the main dinner. We both ordered medium rare steaks. The lady ordered the ribeye and I ordered the bone-in cowboy ribeye. I cut into the cowboy ribeye and it had the right temperature but there was no crust at all on the stake. The regular ribeye was cut into and it was well done with no pink in it but it had a tasty crust. If they could have provided the temperature of the cowboy steak with the crust of the ribeye steak it would have been top tier. Our waiter seemed bothered again when asking for a remake. He says they can but he's going to put us behind every other ticket making it an additional 30 minutes. We were put off by this and just accepted the steak as is. I gave the lady my cowboy and took her ribeye. The mashed potatoes did not have flavor and we ended up having to add salt to make it edible. The green bean flavor was good but they were definitely undercooked. Fast forward to the check I asked the waiter why there was a large party of 20% on the check when there was just two of us and he stated this was charge to everyone on Valentine's Day and they should have told me that when I called. I advised I did the reservation online and they called me and just took a card down in the event that I'm not able to cancel in time. He wanted to argue about it and I was just simply asking a question as why it didn't have the right code on the ticket.(Seemed shady). Also the piano was a little too loud but I enjoyed the songs played.

It just didn't live up to the hype. We went for our 10th anniversary and we were prepared for the price. The steaks were very thick but my husband's 10oz filet, that he ordered medium, came out medium well and my 6oz filet, also ordered medium, came out barely above rare. The sides were really not good. My husband didn't even eat his. We had made early reservations more than a week in advance and were the second people at the door, yet we got sat in a corner near the storage. The waitress was nice enough and helpful but didn't really do anything to earn extra praise. We still tipped her over 20%. We had a decent time and the flavor of the steak was on point. But it was kind of disappointing overall.

I took one of my besties here for her birthday and we had a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic and we were both so happy when we left! Thank you for a lovely evening with excellent service.

This was mine and my boyfriend first time here and had a good time . Food was really good we both had the 12oz steak with green beans and loaded potatoes. The atmosphere was really romantic and service was attentive to our needs . I didn’t really know about wine so we were even given a try of one wine before we made a choice !! Definitely will be back and will recommend
