A+ — run, don’t walk. This is an amazing restaurant, perfect for special occasions or simply treating yourself to a great night out. It’s not a budget spot, so go in with an open mind—you’re paying for exceptional quality and service, and it shows.

The sharp cheddar cheese spread and bread service were outstanding. I had the lunch double cheeseburger and the grilled shrimp salad—both beautifully portioned and prepared perfectly. You absolutely cannot go wrong here.

Back again! A+

Not sure if it was an off night, but we heard a lot of good things about this place. Being lovers of steak houses, my wife and I decided to check it out. Overall, we were unfortunately disappointed.

The server was good, no complaints at all, but nothing extraordinary to receive 5 stars. Not a fan of a restaurant automatically adding 20% gratuity, with us, they actually causes us to tip less, but at least they were honest about it. The only ding is that we put that we were celebrating my wife's birthday on our reservation and they never mentioned it. We watched them bring cake and play happy birthday on an oboe to at least 4 different people.

The ambiance was nice. Huge restaurant, nice decor, appropriate volume. Again, no complaints here.

The issue was with our food. Spending over $250 on food, I expect to be blown away.

For starters we had calamari and a french onion soup. The calamari was average. The French onion wasn't good. I'm not sure if they overloaded it or just got it wrong, but the broth was thick. It didn't taste awful, but the consistency was off.

The bread was good.

For mains, my wife has a house salad, French fries, and a 5 Oz Filet. Salad was fine, French fries were average, the steak was actually pretty good. Ruth Chris style just not quite at that level. Only issue is that it was slightly overcooked. Medium instead of medium rare.

For my food I had a Caesar, loaded mashed potatoes, and a 45 day dry aged t-bone. The salad was below average, the dressing just wasn't good. The potatoes weren't good. Too much butter and sour cream made them inedible. The steak was the biggest let down of the night, for $84, it was just bad. The steak was overcooked, medium to medium-well instead of medium. It was chewy, even the filet. They also grilled it, but the coloring was just off. I've had dry age steak before and it just wasn't right. I finished it out of principle, but I've had far superior steaks at Texas Roadhouse or yardhouse.

Since moving to this area we've tried 4 higher end steakhouses- they rank as such:

1] Ruth Chris
2] Riverstone Chophouse
3] Aberdeen
4] Bull and Cork

Came with a group and everything seemed good. Ordered our meal and finally had to ask where our meal was as the other 27 people had received their meals and a few were almost finished. Finally got my meal which was not great and then my husband received his 10 minutes later. About 15 later minutes the waitress was offering to go boxes. Truly not what we were expecting and hope that was not a normal happening as it ruined what started out as a great evening

Well this is a super awesome place for dinner. Service is great and very welcoming. Food is delicious. I started with the Rockefeller oysters and then had the broiled seafood with Mahi Mahi, scallops, shrimps, crab cake paired with a Caesar salad and Mac n cheese and the swordfish (I had to try it but wasn't a big fan) every thing else was scrumptious. Tried the chocolate cake and the blueberry lemon cake, both were suoer yummy. Definitely not a cheap date but food and experience was worth it. If I'm ever in the area ill be sure to come back

Place is huge and has 2 different parking lots. If you miss the entrance on the right, just turn turn into next parking lot. There is a walk-thru.Liked the food and it was ample, but it was way too expensive!!!

Every since the first time I step foot in this establishment for my birthday 4 years ago. I fell in love. And every year after that this is where I would come for my birthday.

However this past birthday was so disappointing. I ordered the stuffed salmon with broccoli and mashed potato alone with fries shrimp. There was only 2 fried shrimp along with welted broccoli and dried out mashed potatoes.

I was so disappointed. So I called and they were willing to make a comparable replacement and I opted to get the steak and same sides. When I enter the staff was not friendly and welcoming. no one greeted me. But they want your money. (good customer service, doesn’t exist anymore).

I think they gave me the smallest steak they could find and no special mashed potatoes gravy that normally comes with your mashed potatoes. I could have gotten this meal at an Applebees. Aberdeen’s I am disappointed and will be choosing another birthday place next year.

Every outback makes a better sirloin, but it's only $16.95 and not $40 like here. Our waitress was nice, but we waited over an hour for steak, which is unacceptable. We also sat in a room that looked like a thrift store, not a restaurant, very uncomfortable. The place was crazy packed and I have no idea why, specially for this crazy prices.

The food and soup were very salty and slightly bitter. They deducted 20% from our tip without my consent, which made me uncomfortable!

Absolutely amazing experience and delicious food. The food was top notch but what was even better was the service by Laura. She went the extra mile to ensure we had an unforgettable dining experience and a one of a kind anniversary dinner. They are lucky to have someone like her on the team because we’ve never had service that compared to hers. The prime rib was very tasty and a great value— I thought a $12 baked potato would be underwhelming but it was fluffy and well seasoned. We loved the entire experience, thank you!
