Overview
The Striphouse serves up gigantic steaks, luscious side dishes of stuffed heirloom tomatoes, herbed French fries and goose-fat potatoes against a backdrop of an offbeat, eye-popping décor. The soft lights, the nudes on the walls, and the deep burgundy color scheme all combine to give the Striphouse a "distinctive" atmosphere, but the food is the main attraction—simple, elegant and delicious.
Why You Should Go
- You love a good steak. A meat eating creature of habit, you’re a fan of Musso & Frank’s in LA, Peter Luger’s, Spark’s and Keen’s in New York. The Striphouse offers you something fresh and different, but with the same quality and taste.
- Good for taking friends from out of town or for aspecial occasion. The Striphouse steak never fails to impress.
- The steaks are highest quality, the chocolate cake is uncommon.
What You Should Know
- There isn’t much about the seating that can be called intimate or romantic—tight with only a few booths.
- The faux Playboy decor and the female nudes on the walls will do little to impress your female date.
- The service is old school which here means barely civil old men, but it can be smooth and quick during peak hours.
- The a’ la carte menu is pricey, but the prix fix dinner before 6pm is a
bargain at $49. - A steak ordered medium here seems to err toward crispness. Not a bad thing, but can lead to disappointment for the “show me the blood” crowd.
- The goose fat potatoes and the creamed spinach are rare enjoyments.
