   Service was great. Highly recommend the Roast Beet Salad. It’s an elevated version to a classic and was surprising. Chocolate and Butterscotch Bread Pudding was stellar and I’m still thinking about it. Cream of spinach was ok. Sautéed mushrooms was a wide variety of mushrooms and is probably a mushroom lover’s dream. Cucumber refresher was awesome. Outdoor seating feels like indoor seating, but in a fish bowl. We ordered the Tomahawk steak for two. The steak was cooked and seasoned well. However, for $150 it was not worth it. It was probably around 24oz of “meat” but a third of it was fat chunks. I would not recommend this and would instead get a different steak.

   We've dined at LB steak many times in the past and have enjoyed the meal. This time not so much. The tomahawk was mediocre at best. They put some bizarre garnish on it that's never been there previously. The meat was cooked rare as ordered but the flavor was lacking and the amount of gristle was excessive . Service was okay, they didn't bring place settings for the appetizer until we were about half finished with it. The bone marrow and salad were good, the lb potato is a pass it's definitely a disappointment. Brussels sprouts are always good. All in all it was an okay dinner, missing the mark for a nice dinner by a significant margin.

   It was a lovely experience and food was pretty good. I really liked the pork chop that I ordered.

   Our server was great, drinks were great food was great but the only thing that was disappointing was that we didn’t get to try the Mac n cheese which we were very excited for.

   Despite being a busy valentines day, service and food were amazing. We had a reservation and the table was ready on time. Definitely coming back. Really great experience!

   We’ve been to this restaurant for dinner two times before and had a wonderful experience, however, this specific experience was different. The service was poor. Yes it was Valentine’s Day, but we sat outside where they have extra seating and that area was not that busy during our 430pm reservation. The server was not very pleasant throughout and when we asked for the tab, he kinda threw down the receipt without the check presenter book and it was even the wrong receipt! In regards to the food, my 8oz med rare filet mignon was undercooked while my fiancé’s boneless ribeye was overcooked, it looked like a pork chop on the inside….also ordered med rare. Overall, it was a truly disappointing Valentine’s Day dinner. Not sure we will return to this steakhouse.

   We had a wonderful Valentine's Day lunch. The boneless ribeye was fabulous. We really enjoyed the beet salad, spinach and mushroom sides, and the bread basket. Couldn't have asked for a better way to finish the meal than the mud pie. The service was great and I felt right at home at LB Steak, but what can I say, my initials are LB.

   I had high expectations for this place, so this being my first time here, I was fairly disappointed. Though our server did a nice job & the front staff were professional, the food was not very good. My husband & I both had the filet mignon, which was just “okay”, not very flavorful, nor was the the tarragon bearnaise sauce as well as the blue cheese butter sauce. Both filets & the sauces arrived lukewarm & became cold quickly. I wasn’t able to continue eating after that. The baked potato was also subpar in quality. It was difficult to get to any of the actual potato because the large amount of goopy “cheese” smothered most of it. It also had little flavor, though the chunks of cooked bacon were a nice addition. So in conclusion, though the ambience was nice & the staff professional, the food did not live up to how expensive it was & unfortunately we most likely won’t be back.
