What a disappointing evening. Went to celebrate a birthday and an anniversay. Ordered 2 appetizers. Sea food tower was good but the quantity was ok. Ordered a bread and that was tasty. Ordered a sea food entree and the rest were steak entrees. It took soooooo long to get our order after placing. Ordered med rare steaks and they were well done and very chewy. We were 8 of us and our total bill was $2000+. Not worth the price. Will not go again and would not recommend. Parking after valudation was $35. Total rip off.
Better steak options in down town.

I stayed at the resort and tried old Hickory steakhouse. The ambience was very nice and the hostess was friendly and polite. We ordered their sourdough bread, steak tartar, appetizer served on a beef shank with tallow and the shrimp appetizer. All were pretty good. The tartar was the shining star. I ordered a 30 day old dry aged ribeye, which was good, but nothing special. My biggest complaint was the Wine list. First off there is no Somm there to help direct your journey. Our server tried his best, but you could tell his Wine knowledge was subpar. The entire wine list was 99% California Wine. All Bottles you can find it any groceries store. I asked about some Bordeaux selections and the Server said he would come back to me, but just offered me a big jammy bottle of Napa Cab. We spent $1000 between four of us at that steakhouse and I would really like to see the Wine list evolve into more old world selections. Maybe even some with Age on them. Overall, the steakhouse was fine. Food was good, but nothing extraordinary. Just work on the Wine list.

As CV natives, we’ve been eyeing this place since it opened.
Last night we went for our daughter’s birthday per her request for a steak dinner.
The staff was helpful with recommendations and the server was very attentive but not overwhelming.
We ordered a couple appetizers, cocktails and wine. The entrees and kid’s filet came out perfect. This is a great option for staying local and avoiding the downtown steak scene.
Prices were a little high but I wouldn’t hold that against them as it’s at a resort.
Pro tip: If you self park, they validate and if you choose to valet, they comp part of the total.

Went there for a birthday dinner. First time there. We read some “hit-and-miss” reviews on Open Table about the food, so we were a little nervous. However, we had a great experience. Rubin was our waiter and he did a great job, and new the menu well.
I had the 8oz filet mignon and my friend had the bone-in New York steak. Her steak was cook well done (her request), but she felt it was a bit dry in the middle. My filet (medium rare) was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor. I’ve been to several higher-end restaurants and this was the best steak of them all. I guess other reviewers have had lack-luster experiences with the steak at this restaurant, but mine was amazing….with every bite. I even asked Rubin to compliment the chef for me.
Our side dishes were asparagus and mac & cheese. This is where the 4 stars with the food comes in to play. I wish the mac & cheese was cheesier. When you make it at home it’s nice and cheesy and that seemed to lack a bit, but still good.
The asparagus was great, and they’re huge! I usually never eat the stems, but they were soft and edible throughout, and topped with a fermented black garlic sauce which was a nice touch. I’ve never had that before.
My 8oz filet was $70 and her bone-in New York strip was $99. No drinks or soda, just water. They offer a free dessert since it was my friends birthday. We had a choice between about 5 items and chose the Lime Panna Cotta which was good, and had a red coin-sized piece of chocolate that says ‘Happy Birthday’ on it (see photo).
The 4 stars for the atmosphere part is due to the restrooms. They could have been cleaner, but that’s due to other patrons using them. They weren’t dirty per se – just water spots on the ground and a bit of tissue on the ground in the ones we used, so they could have been attended to a little bit better.
The bathrooms are unisex and there’s about five or six of them. They’re individual bathrooms, not stalls per se – I did enjoy that part. They also have power outlets in the bathrooms which I’ve never seen before, and they offer free tampons as well. The bathrooms are nice though.
Here was a big surprise to us – it’s a no cash hotel. That said, you can only pay (for anything in the hotel) with a card. They do have cash-to-card machines where you put cash into the machine and it will dispense a debit card for you to use throughout the hotel.
We didn’t see any signs to inform people of that (not that we were looking since that’s not a normal business model for a hotel), so we didn’t know till Rubin told us.
Since we chose to be minimalists with what we ordered to keep the overall dinner cost lower, our bill was about $200, plus tip. We will go back in the future.

Went for Anniversary Dinner, was not expecting much.
tl;dr Great Steakhouse where almost all the food is on-point (Steak 100% perfect.) Ambiance is a little too “casual.”
I believe hotel restaurants, no matter how expensive, will be “mid” at best. This place exceeded.
Walking in and greeted with fantastic customer service. Initially saw the bar area and I was like, “yikes,” looks like a sports bar. Went in to the restaurant… not really that much better… Bright (though the dimmed the lights 10 mins in, but still too bright) and too, “sterile?” for a steakhouse. My expectations were lowered.
Our server, Moses, was perfect in everyway. Ordered some starters. Bread was, well, mid. Getting worse.
Then came the Dungeness Crab Salad and the ‘Sea’-cuterie board. WOW! The salad with the cauliflower panna cotta and hunk of crab with dill was SOOOO good! ‘Sea’-cuterie was perfect!! Loved EVERYTHING here. Things are looking up!!
Main Course, 21-Day Dry Aged 22 oz Cowboy Ribeye (and Smoked Bearnaise) with Brussels Sprouts, Noble Bacon and Yukon Gold Potato Puree. The steak was PERFECTLY dry-aged. Great notes, of well, “funk.” Smoked Bearnaise perfectly accented it (if me alone, would get the blue cheese, but my wife hates that! lol). I wanted to lick my plate!! As for the sides…Potatoes were perfect, I detected some cheese in there… Sprouts were gross… drenched with maple syrup, ruining any balance between bitter and sweet.
Dessert, Chocolate and Caramel, to die for.
Moses provided amazing service and (mostly) the food is top tier (and more importantly, worth the price) They need to hire an new group to re-imagine the restaurant ambiance with the menu. Right now, diner environment is…odd.
But yes, go here.

We were very impressed with the service, Rubin our server was excellent. Seems he truly loves his job and was absolutely wonderful to us. Food was also amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious. We have visited many Gaylord Marriotts and have dined at many nice steak restaurants. We felt this was one of the best!

Old Hickory was an amazing experience. I went opening night on the 15th and am going again tonight! The plates were beautiful and unique and the flavors were out of this world. My friends were extremely happy with their steaks and I ordered the duck and halibut which was a hit with everyone at the table. The few bad reviews below seem harsh for opening week and were certainly not reflective of my experience. This is a top notch restaurant that I will return to again and again and easily recommend to anyone.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Old Hickory Steakhouse. Since our party was larger than four, I couldn’t book through the OpenTable website, so I called directly to make a reservation for six—and the process was smooth and welcoming from the start.
We were celebrating my dad’s birthday, and the attention to detail from the moment we arrived was outstanding. The staff surprised him with a handwritten birthday card, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch—it immediately set the tone for the evening and made the occasion feel extra special.
We started with a round of fresh oysters, which were delicious—perfectly chilled, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Most of us ordered the porterhouse steak, and it was absolutely incredible—cooked to perfection, tender, and full of rich, bold flavor.
The drinks were fantastic as well. There was a moment when my sister didn’t like her cocktail, and the staff was more than happy to replace it with something she’d enjoy—no hesitation, just great hospitality.
Later in the evening, after a few drinks and lots of laughter, I didn’t realize I had left behind the card I used to pay. To my surprise, the staff called me and left a voicemail to let me know and hold it for me. That level of honesty and care says so much about the kind of team they have—professional, attentive, and genuinely customer-focused.
From start to finish, everything about our night was memorable: the service, the food, the drinks, and the little moments that made it all feel personal. I’ll always carry a great memory of this night and I’ve already recommended Old Hickory to several friends. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a top-tier dinner experience, this place is a must.

Old Hickory Steakhouse is a truly beautiful restaurant in the new Gaylord in Chula Vista. Ambiance is bright and open, which contrasts other dark enclosed steakhouses.
I base my reviews on value – my expectations for a $5 meal are very different from a $50 meal. So with that in mind, Old Hickory is okay but not yet great. It is very new, so there are a few details missed, but I’m confident these rough edges will be smoothened out over time.
The food was really good. We started with the Parker House Rolls and Spanish Octopus – both were delicious and didn’t disappoint. For entrees we ordered the 32 oz Tomahawk, 3 oz A5 Japanese Wagyu, and 8 oz Filet Mignon. Steaks were all delicious, but served a tad over the desired temperature (Medium instead of Medium Rare).
We also ordered the Duck Fat Fingerling Potatoes, but these were the only disappointment. I would avoid this side dish as it was nothing special.
Service was pretty good and attentive. Ava and Eddie were on point and took good care of us. They helped celebrate my early birthday with a complimentary Chocolate and Caramel dessert which was delicious.
There were some hiccups, where we had to request new plates and silverware. There was a big gap between apps and entree. Small inconveniences.
Overall, this is a good spot which will be great. Looking forward to revisiting.
