steakhouse restaurant

Is it open?
Has anybody been yet?

 

Not sure ... Saturday night it looked like they were doing pre-opening training. You know, they get the family members in as the guinea pigs.

One of the newspapers (maybe the Post) had an ad over the weekend. Apparently, the steakhouse opens tomorrow and will be showing the election results on their TVs.

 

I understand they had a "practice" opening Saturday night, open to the public. Unfortunately, I didn't find out about it until Sunday. Did anybody make it in on Saturday?

 

They smelled like they were smokin tonight.... Got my southern BBQ blood going.

 

Was open tonight for the folks who made it happen....The builders, developers, corporate big wigs, etc. They will open tomorrow at 4:00 to the general public.

 

Does anybody know if they will be regularly open for lunch or is it strictly a dinner place?

 

It is strictly dinner place. They are not open for Lunch.

 

Although I think on weekends they open at 11 or 1...looked at their sign this afternoon but maybe I was crosseyed

All looks good on the website, but what up with dat filet mignon stuffed portabella mushroom picture...looks like a halloween decoration.

 

I like the picture of the clearly-photoshopped 'party bus'.

 

yeah, they tried really hard to make the drivers window look good. also note they open at 12am monday - thursday...

 

Had dinner at the Steakhouse tonight. Awesome experience. The bar area is incredible - you are surrounded by giant screen TV's - huge bar. The bar area is separated from the dining area by a wall and large windows. Had a 15 minute wait to get seated for dinner. Considering this was their opening night, I was very impressed! Food was great, couple of minor serving issues. Dining area had very nice theming and TV's everywhere!

My only complaint was that the music was too loud in the dining area. I spoke with the manager about it and he said that they are still playing with the volume to determine what works.

This is definitely "the" place to watch sports (at least in Loudoun County) - similar to ESPN Zone or Dave & Busters (minus the games). Overall, I was very impressed and will definitely be back (soon)!

 

Tech Head - smoking or non-smoking??

 

looks pretty expensive, yes?

Sorry, I had to add a Simpsonsism.

 

Also ate there last night (got there early-no wait). Other than some minor service issues (I ran out of soda early on, when the waitress FINALLY came around, asked for another and never saw her again except to give us the bill-oh, well I'll chalk it up to opening night jitters. Table was dirty when first seated, but addressed quickly).

The food was good-burger for me, prime rib for my husband, both came out cooked as requested. The fries are the small, stringy fries (like McDonalds but with seasoning), not thick steak fries, seemed to get cold quick.

Not too expensive, not cheap. Steaks start at $15, sandwiches start at $8.

Liked to smoking/ non-smoking barrier. Also, you can watch them cook your food while you wait to be seated, pretty cool. Brought the rugrat-they had cartoons on 2 of the 10-12 tv's, so he was entertained (plugged him in). Also thought the music was too loud.

Overall a good experience, we will be back (especially on game day!!!!).

 

I've heard complaints about cigarette smoke. True or not? Smoke will cut their revenues in half if it's a problem. Look at Kilpatrick's. That place is never busy, and it's my opinion, it is because of the smoky environment.
