Not much to say without echoing every other review. Food is excellent and fairly priced. The atmosphere and service are excellent. We go every year with a large group, and they roll out the red carpet. Awesome steaks and seafood. Lobster was incredible. Drinks flowed. Cozy bar upon entering, love it there.Parking: To be fair, I've mainly taken a car service and when I last drove, I don't remember it being difficult to find parking.

Steve & Cookies is by far our favorite place to dine. whether we sit at the bar or at a dining table. we can count on a delicious meal and dining experience.One standout dish that I can't stop raving about is their fried lobster tail. It is perfectly cooked to golden perfection, with a crispy exterior giving way to succulent, flavorful lobster meat. Each bite was a delightful explosion of taste and texture, making it an instant favorite of mine.What truly sets this place apart, however, is its remarkable staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. Hector, who served us, was not only efficient but also incredibly personable, making sure every aspect of our dining experience was enjoyable.George, the wine expert, guided us through a delightful selection of wines that complemented our meal perfectly. His knowledge and passion for wine added a special touch to the evening.Brian and Hector, along with the rest of the staff, were equally impressive. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing top-notch service made our visit memorable.I must also commend Cookie for her skills in running such an amazing establishment at Steve & Cookies. Her attention to detail, passion for hospitality, and dedication to providing a memorable dining experience truly shine through in every aspect of the restaurant. It's evident that she goes above and beyond to ensure that guests like me leave satisfied and eager to return. Cookie's commitment to excellence is a key factor in making Steve & Cookies our favorite place to dine.Overall, this establishment is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it receives. With an amazing menu, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's no wonder they stand out as a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts.Eli & RENE

One of the top meals in my life. All that you hear is true. Top notch ingredients, skillfully prepared, served professionally. My only hitch was the servers' hair - long and unwrapped, untied, unscarfed or hatted. Here's some science: "On average, the average male loses approximately 50 to 100 hairs per day. This amount of hair loss is considered within the normal range and is part of the natural hair growth cycle1. Hair shedding is a natural process, and it occurs as part of the body's renewal cycle." What are the chances of a hair or two finding its way to your palate? I'd say pretty good!

Amazing. Hector was the best waiter we’ve had in all the times we’ve been here. Make reservations though unless u don’t mind standing near the piano waiting for a free bar seat.

Food excellent, service not so much...cute girl Stefany but not so good as a server..our Asian busser was on point,very polite!!!...love the atmosphere on weekdays... haven't seen my bartender for a while..he knows how to make and stir Manhattan!Coming back with family to enjoy delicacy of execution of the food...very unique, precisely seasoned, beautifully prepared and presented -- the best one can hope for in an original cuisine.

I had very high expectations for this place. Upon walking into the restaurant, I was immediately impressed with the ambiance. Although we weren’t seated until 10 minutes after our reservation time, the quick and attentive service made up for it. All of the dishes were great, especially the Brussels sprouts and filet mignon. The bill definitely added up quickly, but it’s nothing more than you would expect of a nice restaurant. Will definitely be back…if I can ever get another reservation!

Excellent food and service. Expensive but not unreasonable for the quality of food. Would definitely recommend and return.

We've been coming to Steve & Cookie's for over 25 years. It had been a while since my last visit, and unfortunately it's not anywhere as good as it used to be. It certainly is busy - very noisy! -- and hopefully many people are still pleased with their experience. However, we felt the food and the service both left something to be desired. Re: the food, they no longer provide complimentary bread - you have to pay for it, and it's not the variety it used to be. The bouillabaisse was salty, and the halibut/shrimp special had 1 shrimp on it. Compared to some of the other restaurants on the scene now, this just isn't worth $40-$50/entrée. Re: the service, the team supporting us (party of 6) did not serve appetizers and entrees to the right members of our party - for both courses, they served incorrectly and we needed to switch around. It also took 3 asks to get more water. Small things, but it's an expensive place and you can't help but expect smooth service. This used to be a special occasion go-to for me, but I don't feel that way anymore. :-(

Great ambience inside the restaurant and amazing drinks. The brussel sprouts were to die for, and I don't even like them. Service was excellent and prompt. I will definitely be returning.
