Quality Meats did not disappoint. We were hesitant to eat here due to our recent letdowns at various steakhouses. From the drinks to the steaks everything was superb. My wife and I both ordered the filet and were impressed. We each ordered a side, as well. We highly recommend the corn crème brûlée with the brussels sprouts coming in a close second. The service was impeccable, as well. We highly recommend this steakhouse and will look to visit it each time we return to the city.

We were celebrating a reunion of a mother and daughter. The holiday atmosphere, the wait staff, the food and the live music made what could have been an uncomfortable gathering a meaningful experience. We especially welcomed the warmth, friendliness and generosity of GERMAN, the bartender extraordinaire! We suspect he is more than a bartender but a leader at Red Rooster. We thank him!
