Best Steakhouses in Forest Park

my boyfriend and I went for an anniversary and I was lovely!! they have free valet when you arrive, we walked in and were immediately and warmly greeted by the host. they wished us a happy anniversary and even though we were almost 30 min early they were able to seat us after only 1 min. we got a booth and the ambiance was perfect; cozy low lighting (I could still read the menu though), lots of beautiful wood, and red accents. the entire staff was kind and welcoming. our server was perfect and just what you’d want/expect from an established steak house (professional, knowledgeable, nice, and anticipatory). we got crab cakes as an app (comes with two- very pricy) and the sauce that came with them was delicious (almost a sweet and sour sauce). my bf ordered a martini and it was perfect. I ordered the Paula Shultz and it was sweet and refreshing and yummy. they gave us complimentary warm bread rolls with butter which would have been amazing but they were very salty. same room!! I got the 8oz filet mignon and it was so tender and amazing! I ordered it with garlic mashed potatoes which were also soooo well done!! my bf got the rib eye and it was juicy, tender, and flavorful. the fries that came with his steak were really good and came with ketchup and a fry sauce that I loved. they surprised us with a complimentary crème brûlée for our anniversary and it was incredible (made with real vanilla bean). all in all it was exactly what we wanted; rustic, classic, and delectable!! definitely very expensive but worth it for a special occasion. I can’t wait to return!!

Went there for dinner on Valentine’s Day. Was not disappointed. Food was good and prompt. Service was outstanding. Music was awesome.

It was Valentines night, so they were well booked up and busy. However, I thought it would cause them to get folks in and out even quicker to accommodate the many bookings they had. We had a 2 hour dining experience with only three courses. Our cocktails took quite a while. The first course got to us before our cocktails and one of the managers brought us sparkling wine because he noticed we didn’t have our cocktails yet. That was a nice gesture. Ironically, our cocktails were delivered immediately after he gave us the free bubbly.

We celebrated our grandson‘s 18th birthday and his high school graduation all in one. He ordered his favorite: the cowboy steak with a nice Caesar salad, which he also devoured completely. We enjoyed salads, the creamed spinach, the Osso Bucco ravioli, and the 11 ounce fillet &lobster dinner. The foil “ Happy Birthday” messages decorating the table were a very nice touch. Thanks for delivering the whole package!

This would be a five-star review except for the location. The motel is obviously older, and parking is very difficult. We were forced to walk a considerable distance uphill from the lower parking lot since there was no parking available at the street level. Otherwise, all of the aspects of the restaurant, including food and service, were outstanding.
