Our server was amazing! Food was great! The lady who I am assuming is the dining room manager very rudely at the end of our meal, told us that the next reservation was there and we needed to go. I have never had that happen at any restaurant. We were there celebrating the holidays and had not even been there but just over 1 hour. We were offered dessert just before she came over to our table. The server apologized for how we were treated and said she hates when she does that, making it seem like that it has been a problem before. I understand the need to keep the reservations going, but it could have been worded so much differently.

We tried Blinkers for our first time last night while celebrating both a birthday and an anniversary. We were not disappointed. Our server Roni was fantastic! I had the Blinkers “Oscar” Filet, and my wife had the Filet Mignon and added the blue cheese crust. Both steaks were done perfectly and were delicious! Everything we tried was great! The apple cinnamon bread pudding was to die for! Only complaint (not really a complaint) was it gets very noisy in the dinning room near the bar during peak hours. We loved the food and will be back for sure! We'll probably request to be seated in one of the other dinning rooms next time though.

We celebrated our anniversary and had an amazing steak dinner cooked to perfection. The bread pudding desert was also incredible. Our waitress was excellent! Great experience and we will be returning!

The food was outstanding, but it was so loud we couldn't even hear each other speaking. We had reservations for a Sunday night. I indicated on my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and when we checked it I commented that it was our first time. I was disappointed that we were seated right outside the kitchen door pretty much in the middle of the room. It wasn't crowded when we arrived so I was just surprised we were given the worst table in the house. Still the food was good enough we would try it again and hope to get a better table.

Fast and efficient serve. Food was amazing as well as hospitality. Chicken Alfredo is huge and taste amazing!

We had high expectations for this restaurant, unfortunately we did not stay to review the food, bartender we encountered was rude and ignorant, we left before being seated. Do not recommend.

I've been here three times now and each time has been wonderful! Hostesses and waiters/waitresses are always very friendly and helpful. They check on you frequently and drinks stay filled. Very clean nice atmosphere. Very comfortable. They can take reservations which is recommended on busy nights/days. There is plenty of parking around. Parking on the street, free parking behind the building or parking in the large square pay lot across the street. You have to go down an alley to get to the parking area behind the building, just be very cautious as cars come from various directions and sometimes people are walking through there. Inside there are two bathrooms in the hallway across from the bar, one stall each side. I can't recall if there is a diaper changing station in one of the bathrooms. Sorry. I would call if interested in knowing. I know the entrance way has a step up to get in so I am not sure if they have a separate wheelchair ramp entrance available. May also be worth a call to verify if needed. When it's warm out they do have outdoor seating in front of their main entrance which is also nice. You can't go wrong either way. It's not loud inside and it's easy to hold a conversation and hear each other clearly. I think Blinkers would be a very nice place to have a date or catch up with friends and family. I've never been here with a group larger than 5 to speak on larger groups. Overall the service, food and drinks are great, maybe a little pricey for some, but I feel it's worth it on occasion. I highly recommend trying Blinkers if you're in the area. You wont be disappointed!

Got the New York strip, loaded mashed potatoes, and soup of the day (chili). The mashed potatoes were yummy and I can tell they were homemade! And the chili was pretty good as well! But the steak was underwhelming for being the “best steak around”. It was cooked properly (medium) but still was tough. It seemed to be canned mushrooms they put on the steak which doesn’t scream high quality in a steak joint. I ordered a side of the lobster cream sauce to put on my steak and it was extremely liquidy, no thickness to it at all so kind of just ran off the steak. Also, my waitress brought out add ons on the steak I never ordered and when I brought it to her attention and let her know I’d still eat it and that no remake was necessary, but asked if I was going to be charged for those add ons, she assured me I wouldn’t be but once the bill came, I realized I was charged anyway. She wasn’t necessarily rude but wasn’t friendly either, I’m not sure she smiled once. Honestly for an 87$ bill for 2 people, Texas Roadhouse would have been cheaper and better quality

Came on a Tuesday night randomly. It was the only place with a ton of activity. Other restaurants seemed empty. We came in with no reservation and were immediately told that most coming in have a reservation on Tuesdays because it's steak dinner night. Despite the business, the front staff found a spot for the 2 of us immediately. We ordered the New York Steak and a Pork Chop. The food came out quickly. The staff was excellent. Lastly, the food couldn't have been better. That was probably the best cooked and seasoned New York Strip steak I've ever had. The person I was with said the pork chop was glorious. Thanks to all that made this awesome evening dinner happen !

I really wanted to love this place, especially since every staff member we interacted with—from the host to our waitress to the manager—was incredibly kind and attentive. Our waitress, in particular, provided excellent service.
However, the experience had some significant issues. We were first seated on the patio for our reservation. On a 46-degree night, we assumed this meant there would be heaters, but it was just an open-air table by a busy street. After a long wait, about half-way through our meal, the staff was accommodating and managed to move us inside once a table opened up.
The food, unfortunately, was the bigger disappointment. For a restaurant known for its steaks (12 years running?), my $43 ribeye was surprisingly average. It had decent flavor but was nothing I couldn't make at home, and I've honestly had better at a chain like Longhorn. The mashed potatoes were similarly okay, but thin and unremarkable.
On the plus side, my wife's shrimp diablo pasta was quite good, and our guests enjoyed their salmon, calling it a little above average.
Overall, the service was the highlight, but it couldn't make up for the lackluster food. When spending this amount, I expect a meal that's better than what I can cook myself. With so many other great options available at a similar price point, we probably won't be back.
