   I may be under rating this place due to how highly people have talked about it… I should preface by I indulge at a lot of steakhouses, I thought the ambiance was awesome, but I was very underwhelmed by the food, Nothing stood out. We had the beef tartar (was great absolutely suggest), the spicy shrimp (nothing special over cooked shrimp smothered in sriracha aioli), seared ahi tuna ( meh), oysters (amazing), crab cocktail (meh), ordered the candied pork belly but never got, Kennedy filet (well cooked but mediocre for the price), Brussels spouts (good flavor but not crispy), loaded mash potatoes (felt on par with a Shari’s/dennys…) Caesar salad (waaaay too much lemon). Drinks were all very underwhelming and the wine list was very subpar for the type of experience we were expecting. Aside from that. The service was good, and food and drinks came out pretty quickly.

   It is great to have a first-class restaurant in Eugene , with white tablecloths and professional service. Definitely plan to go back.

   Look, Ruth Chris’s and Morton’s prices. Well worth it in my opinion. Sure wish the customers dressed better. Reverse ball caps, tees shirts, this isn’t Outback. Steaks excellent, sides and salads excellent and beignets a nice touch for dessert. Chris, my server for the evening, is outstanding. Customers, leave the baseball caps at home. This is a classy place.

   Sooo happy to have a legit high-end steakhouse in Eugene. Our second visit, both times have been excellent. The steaks are fantastic and perfectly cooked. My husband and daughter both had NY strips with house sauce and I had a filet “Oscar” with Dungeness crab and bernaise sauce. One of the yummiest things I have eaten in a long time. Butter lettuce salad was delicious, daughter’s Dungeness crab cocktail was full and fresh. Creamed corn and baked potato sides both terrific. Butter cake for dessert was amazing. Drinks were the weakest link. Of the 5 drinks we bought, 2 were A+, one was a B+ and one was a disappointing C. Overall our server was excellent (Chris), though when it got busy it was hard to get his attention for additional sauces, etc. which was a little frustrating. Maybe have someone circulate more often to check on those easy deliverables? In total, a terrific experience and a delectable meal. We will definitely be back!

   Third time here since they opened. Food is consistently excellent. Steaks are perfectly seasoned. Try the Beefsteak Tomato Salad. They seem to be constantly training new team members, which tends to slightly diminish the service. Still the best in town! Bartenders are skilled and quick. Busy place: you will need a reservation.

   This was our first dinning experience at the Kennedy Steakhouse. The service was extraordinary and the filet was superb. The only thing that was disappointing was the creamed corn. Overall the experience was worth the $350 for the three of us and we look coming back again, albeit it will probably a year because of the prices. Thank You for establishing a wonderful restaurant in Eugene!

   Finally a worthy White Linen Restaurant in Eugene with a cuisine Eugenians can appreciate !! This is not a typical Strip Mall Steak House. Wonderful service from kind ingratiating wait staff who care about your experience and cater to your needs! Our waiter expertly recommended to us how the cut of each steak should be ordered for optimal flavor. The comforting and satisfying sides were beautifully served and dished out for us adding to our feelings of being taken care of! My husband and I enjoyed a romantic Christmas Evening dinner in one of their nicely appointed private booths. Understand the price is absolutely appropriate for the experience! You will not regret it!!!
