Steak houses are over rated, IMO but I eat a large slab of meat once every year or two. My wife and kids on the other hand like it but still we go to steak houses once every blue moon.
Traditionally steak houses are considered higher end restaurants? We have so many great places to eat out here that are equally jsut expensive and IMO, much better then the traditional steak houses. Plus, many sure seem like they were in business from the 60s full of old, stuffy people, dark with the typical red or black vinyl seats. We are drawn to the newer, chic fusion places. Those are usually pretty packed with people on weekends (date nights) and the wait is long, foods are usually really good. Not always cheap. The more east of LA we go, the fewer those places exist. If you like restaurant hopping, LA or SF is the place to be. We have eaten at a few really, stupid, expensive places in San Francisco. A friend is a PITA foody and his wife is a chef at a local fo-fo place. Upwards of 400 bucks a person. My wife and I walked oout of there looked at each other and we knew exactly what we needed to do, stop by to get a midnight sandwich somewhere. Thankfully there are plenty of places open late in the city. Oh, this fooking place brought us a set of 3 different steak knifes and we were to select the correct knife to cut certain part of our meal. Dumb.
