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.

    The service was excellent and the food wonderful. Depending on where you are seated the noise level may get too high but the food and service is worth it.

    Have been here many times, always a good experience. This time we came with a large group (9) for a 5 pm reservation. Service was attentive but slow and our server seemed overworked; she should have had a partner. Steaks are delicious but filets ordered MR were closer to medium and slightly under seasoned. We’ll likely be back but for the price point would appreciate a bit more attention to detail.

    I was really looking forward to this spot. The ambience is nice. Nothing special but decent. I felt the server could have been more personable and asked questions. The steak I ordered was over cooked and too much blue cheese on it made the steak salty. I felt the sides lacked flavor. The drinks and and the bacon appetizer was good. The short rib dumplings did not have flavor. I was expecting to rate the short ribs. I would return, I just felt the food could have been better. Perhaps, I came on a bad night.

    We were seated within 2 minutes upon checking in to our 7 pm reservations. My girlfriend and I ordered the filet mignon and the delmonico steak, respectively. They were perfectly cooked as ordered. It was a Friday night, the place was crowded and noisy. I wasn't fond of having to speak louder to hear each other. Our server placed a standing bucket of ice next to our table for our bottle of wine. Minutes later, a man came to our table wanting to replace the ice bucket with a marble bottle cooler. He did not introduce himself, nor have any ID that he works there. During dinner, we've come to realize that he could be one of the managers, as all he did was walk around. I would have given this place 5 stars all around if it wasn't for that man. Please introduce yourself 1st before touching things at our table.

    Overpriced for mediocre food. We ordered two iced teas, a petite filet mignon, mushroom/asparagus risotto, scalloped potatoes and two deserts. Pre tip it was $141. Give me a break. Meg our server was wonderful.
