I had to ask for water. The staff never checked to see if we needed water. Bread and butter were served, however, the butter was still frozen. You would think a quality restaurant would serve butter ready to spread. I know this is nit-picking but these are little details that should not be forgotten.

Prime rib is top notch

Parking: It’s a busy road in the city. There is some off street parking. If it’s raining you should bring your umbrella.

Ordered the short ribs which were horrible, nothing but bone and fat!

Totally blown away. Both meals, NY Strip & Prime Rib were mediocre at best. We’re talking about $45 per meal. Never again will I come here, food is just not good. I’ll buy from the local Farmers Market & cook in my cast iron pan instead.

Great food, exceptional service. Only negative is the lighting was too low for these "old" eyes of mine.

Walter's Steakhouse is not only very good, but consistently so. I've visited twice, and ended up ordering and enjoying the same meal both times.

To start, the atmosphere is a classic steakhouse vibe; it's not too formal, but formal enough. The interior seems well-maintained, and the booths are comfortable.

Service is excellent. Both times, the servers did a great job of making recommendations and answering my questions, as it seems like they know the menu very well. It seems like the waitstaff enjoy and think highly of the food served, so they can be passionate when they explain dishes. The first time I went, my partner and I lost track of time and were there past closing on a weeknight, and our server kept providing excellent service and didn't try to rush us or make us feel unwelcome.

The food, at least everything that I've tried, is excellent. Above and beyond excellent. Normally I'm fairly critical when it comes to food and steakhouse fare especially, and I couldn't find a single thing wrong or off-point. I had the Caesar salad to start, and everything was fresh and the dressing decent and tossed sufficiently. As an entree, I ordered the king-cut bone-in prime rib, and both times it was cooked perfectly to the medium-rare that I ordered, carved well, and seasoned well enough to complement the meat without overpowering it. Meat quality is excellent. The au jus is good enough, but I found their au poivre sauce to be extraordinarily good; I like to think that I make an excellent au poivre at home, but Walter's surpasses my own. I had the twice baked potato, and it was delicious without being excessively rich. I also tried the steak fries, and they are cooked correctly and not underdone as is common in the industry.

I have not tried wine there yet, but the wine list looks promising. Same with dessert.

And for as much praise as this is, even my leftover prime rib was decent when I reheated it in the microwave the next day; it was better than most prime ribs when they're served fresh.

Prices are very reasonable for what you get, and I'm looking forward to more visits in the future.

Took my wife there for her 71st birthday on 6/2….she got the surf and turf and her lobster tail was tougher than shoe leather…The waitress was there once when we were almost done to see how everything was….we waited 15 minutes just for our check while her and a co-worker were sharing stories….we won’t be back

Walters steakhouse is a great place to go if your are looking for some great fine dining food was exceptional no complaints there. We actually found this place out of pure randomness we were in the area looking for something good to eat and we found exactly that now the price point was a little more than expected but if you go off the motto of you get what you pay for you are absolutely correct. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has a significant other that they wanna take for an amazing date night. Thanks again for the great experience. The only thing that I would say that I didn't enjoy was the looks of walking in with a kid personally I don't think a kid should dictate how a place of business treats a customer with looks...
