What People Are Saying About Sullivan's Steakhouse

In Short – The sprawling, elegant dining room, lined with high-walled booths and packed with white-clothed tables--looks and sounds like a Chicago-style steakhouse from the '40s. Large groups enjoy raucous meals, sending the serious, if frazzled servers into a tizzy. The traditional menu adds welcome intrigue with updated retro dishes. Tender filet mignon and well-marbled Kansas Strip are expertly grilled, as is a gigantic smoked pork chop that falls short on flavor.

Excellent place to entertain friends, family, or business
by shep402
We arrived on time for our reservation and were sat immediately. The wait staff was friendly, professional, and made use feel at ease. The calamari, shrimp cocktail were everything we expected. The filet was cook to perfection, and the side dishes were seasoned well.
- Pros: The food, the wait staff, the chef (Rob) are fantastic
- Cons: The price is at the higher end

A disappointing expericne
by Junegirl
This was our second experience at Sullivan's and I must admit I was disappointed. We were looking forward to a nice evening with good food and company based on our previous experience. However, we were quite disappointed. We stared with Lobster Bisque which was mediocre at best. The French Onion Soup was good and the Ahi Tuna appetizer was nicely done except there was no warning about the strong wasabi sauce on which it was plated. My lamb chops were done to perfection however, the Vesuvio chicken was over-cooked and too dry. Iceberg wedge was average, bread was served hot and was good. Champagne could have been colder. We were served a complimentary raspberry souffle as we were celebrating a birthday. However, it was meant for all to share and no one liked raspberry but me. It would have been better if they had alerted us so we they could have prepared something for all to enjoy. However, the absolute worst part of the evening was the music. It was too techno and roboto. At times I felt like I was in Karachi Pakistan. It was absolutely awful and clearly not appropriate for that kind of atmosphere. And, the appropriate dress on the website was business casual.....I don't consider men in flip flops and shorts to be business casual. We won't be going back and we definitely will not be recommending Sullivan's to our friends and business associates.
- Pros: Great lamb chops and desserts
- Cons: Awful dinner music

The Details on Sullivan's Steakhouse
What to Drink:
There are few bargains to be found on the selective wine list: one is a jammy pinot noir from Rodney Strong ($35).
When to Go:
There's always live music during dinner: Weekends bring a live, five-piece jazz band; during the week, a piano player or solo musician entertains.
Where to Sit:
Step into the art-deco library and polished wood bar where gussied up wait-listers sip whiskies, smoke cigars and sway to jazzy piano tunes--you'll swear you've landed in a bygone era, when dining out meant more than a meal.
