Reviews
You would think with $70 per person cost, the service would be on par with similar high dollar steak restaurants in the area (Silver Fox, Texas, III Forks, Ruth Chris, etc), but unfortunately we had a not so pleasant serve experience. He did recommend the house cab to drink, which was good. And he did bring our food to us promptly, but we had to ask for water 4 times before we even received our glasses, he was not proactive with refills either. A water carafe was finally brought during the dessert round. We even had to rearrange and clear space for our plates, as the server did not take the empty plates prior to bringing the next menu item. He never explained the menu to us (options, pricing, etc) or even told us his name…we had to ask.
Needless to say, we are extremely disappointed that our $200 dinner experience included an extremely subpar server. Oh I forgot to mention, he took our signed tab prior to us leaving the table, and went over to the bar, where he and the bartender took a shot together in front of everyone at the bar….is that legal?
Thank you server Sean, we will definitely not be returning to SF Steak and Crab because of you. A 4 or 5 star rating would include great/exceptional service.
Pros: Great service, although my friend and I we’re literally the only people in the restaurant so that was expected.
My Chicken Fried Steak and House Salad was good although messing up a Chicken Fried Steak is almost impossible.
Cons: Weakest margarita I’ve ever had, essentially a cup of ice. No flavor and such a small amount of liquor I couldn’t even taste it.
Fondue was not good, the mushrooms were most likely canned as they weren’t even put on the grill. Fondue overall was very bland.
“Loaded baked potato” is basically a baked potato with butter and chives, with almost no sour cream cheese and a laughable amount of bacon.
If everything was half the price I would give it 4 stars but this place is too expensive for what they’re offering.
We were back for a New Year’s eve dinner with another party. We shared our Thanksgiving experience with the waiter and apparently it was not good for SFT either and they are not going to do it again. My better half and I decided to share a meal this evening because the sizes of the steaks they were offering were too much for either of us. The waiter was very personable and accommodating, but when we received our meals, it was the wrong order it was their special surf and turf meal costing $55. He said that was okay he would not charge us for it. We sent our plate back because my better half is allergic to shell fish. They brought us a plate without the lobster tail but it still was not the bone in rib eye. The manager came over and he agreed it was not what we ordered. We received the top sirloin steak instead of the bone in rib eye and he said he would take care of it. When we received our bill, they charged us for the surf and turf ($55). When we complained they adjusted the bill down to the price for the bone in rib eye which was $34 and again, what we received was the top sirloin which was on the menu for $19. The waiter’s response was “you are being charged for what you originally order and we gave you the surf and turf.” What?? But, that is not what we got and the manager agreed. We waited for our waiter or a manager to come by, but we were being avoided. I had to track down the manger who agreed we did not get the rib eye and he finally agreed to “comp” the difference between the bone in rib eye and the top sirloin. The other couple told us later that they overheard a conversation and the establishment was apparently unhappy because we did not order the $55 surf and turf meal and, being senior citizens, we were sharing a meal. It was a very unpleasant experience. I could not help but feel like they were trying to get as much as possible out of us thinking we would submit. I suppose we are not the clients they wish to serve and we will accomodate their apparent wishes. It was a horrible experience, we will not be returning, and we will not be recommending them to our friends in fact just the opposite.
