Our food was absolutely delicious and the service sublime. We wished we hadn't eaten so much because we had no room for dessert. We will go back to La Cuisine at our next "special" dinner opportunity.

Very beautiful setting. Did chef tasting menu and everything was high quality and varied. The cost is high. It is great food but it is still a high cost. Good service and feels intimate. All drinks are expensive too but similarly very good. Good for a special occasion.

We had an amazing time at Wolfgang’s on Friday night. Michelle was our server and was very professional and friendly. Not to mention extremely knowledgeable about their menu. The food was incredible as was the atmosphere.

About the restaurant

The Shula's Story
Established in 1989, Shula's Steak House started with one goal in mind - to carry on the legacy of Coach Don Shula, one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. 30 years later, we've taken that goal and run with it. We're proud to offer the highest quality steaks, fresh-caught seafood, and tantalizing sides.

Inspired by Coach
Winners are a different breed. Winners work hard, winners value the small details, and winners never cut corners.
When Coach Don Shula opened the first Shula's Steak House in 1989, he took his winning formula to a whole new level. He wanted to provide the highest quality steaks in a warm, inviting setting. There's an ethos to excellence - it doesn't matter if you're coaching an undefeated football team, or grilling up a porterhouse - we make sure we live by it.

The food was very good, from the shrimp caesar salad to the surf and turf. No complaints.
