Steakhouse 85 is a 21st century rendition of the classic American Steakhouse. The menu at Steakhouse 85 is comprised of fresh and inspiring modern day interpretations of classic American cuisine, served alongside the traditional steakhouse classics we all know and love. The back bone of our menu is without a doubt our beef. Our mouth watering dry aged steaks are rubbed with a simple yet luscious combination of sea salt, black pepper and fresh herbs. They are seared on a 1200 degree cast iron grill and then broiled to your liking. Paired with a large classically designed bar, complete with savvy cocktails and a Wine Spectator award winning wine list, this steakhouse is sure to please.

    We go every year after Christmas, and every year we have an awesome experience - service is great, food is amazing, and the atmosphere is perfect … not too quiet, not too loud.

    It was my wife and I celebrating our anniversary, everyone was friendly. When I requested a change in seating to by the fireplace the owner came over and moved us to a cosey table for 2 in the corner next to the fireplace. The drinks, food and service were excellent

    Excellent service by Melvin. We were intrigued by some of the specials but find hard to deviate from the date night menu, which is an excellent value with a lot of choices. We shared the honey crisp salad to start. This is split in the kitchen and that makes a difference. The half portion is large with the cheese and pecans is wonderful. We also ordered the calamari, which is delicious but took most of it home as the portion is huge. Entrees were the king salmon, which was expertly prepared, and the filet mignon. There is an up charge but again the portion is large and also came home! We shared the apple tart for dessert which came with ice cream but took the other home. So many different tastes…a really nice evening.

    My filet mignon was not as good as usual. It was a little tough. My wife’s lobster tails were delicious, as usual. Service was great!

    This is an excellent restaurant. Quality steaks, prepared right. Apps and sides are also good. I particularly like the service here, attentive but not overwhelming. They also make decent cocktails.

    Another fabulous meal at Steakhouse 85. I do not give rave reviews. Well rarely. This is a very high-quality restaurant. Food is exquisite. Service - attentive without stuffiness. This is not an inexpensive place So skip going out for a couple weeks....save your money....go here and splurge. it's worth it.
