Reviews
The ribeye steak was perfectly cooked to order and came with a delicious well prepared baked potato. The sirloin steak was also cooked well and was tender.
We enjoyed a glass of Merlot & Pinot Noir over dinner. We decided to try the chocolate volcano with a scoop of ice-cream after dinner. It was the perfect choice to top off our dinner.
We had great service that is often expected at a high end restaurant. In addition, we had the pleasure of meeting the manager Victor Laro who held a great conversation and really made us feel like we made a new friend.
We hope to return.
Had great margarita, sweetbreads and lamb.
Asked if lamb was grass fed, was told it was, but it was pretty tasteless, so I’m sure it wasn’t. It was perfectly cooked though.
Walking into Main Street Steakhouse, my hopes were set pretty high. The atmosphere was upscale, cozy, and inviting—exactly what you’d expect from a high-end steakhouse. I started with a dirty martini, which was actually quite good, though I was surprised they didn’t have Kettle One or Chopin vodka available, and they didn’t offer blue cheese olives. Not a dealbreaker, but a bit unexpected given the overall ambiance.
For an appetizer, I ordered the tuna tartare. Unfortunately, it had a noticeably fishy taste, to the point that I stopped eating after just a couple of bites. Hoping the main course would redeem things, I went with the surf and turf. Visually, the plate looked decent, but that’s where the positives ended. The steak was tough and rubbery—difficult to even cut, let alone chew—and the lobster tail was overcooked and dry. Both were inedible after a single bite.
The manager did come over and apologize, offering us a complimentary crème brûlée to make up for it. Sadly, that too was a letdown: undercooked, runny, and lacking the crisp top you’d expect from a proper crème brûlée. When the manager returned, he admitted he had tried to cut into my steak himself and couldn’t get through it either—so it wasn’t just me.
At that point, I was ready to chalk it up to an off night and consider giving them another shot sometime. But then the bill came—it ended up being a little over $180 including a decent tip—and to my surprise, the inedible main course hadn’t been comped. That was the final disappointment. If the manager himself couldn’t cut the steak and acknowledged the issue, how do you not remove it from the bill?
I genuinely wanted to like this place. The setting is promising, but they clearly need a more consistent kitchen and a management team that understands how to make things right when they go wrong. For now, I can’t recommend it—and I won’t be back unless some serious changes are made.

Great place for a date or special occasions. The prices are fair.
