Steakhouse 85 is a 21st century rendition of the classic American Steakhouse. The menu at Steakhouse 85 is comprised of fresh and inspiring modern day interpretations of classic American cuisine, served alongside the traditional steakhouse classics we all know and love. The back bone of our menu is without a doubt our beef. Our mouth watering dry aged steaks are rubbed with a simple yet luscious combination of sea salt, black pepper and fresh herbs. They are seared on a 1200 degree cast iron grill and then broiled to your liking. Paired with a large classically designed bar, complete with savvy cocktails and a Wine Spectator award winning wine list, this steakhouse is sure to please.

    The food was average for the price. The steak was cooked perfectly but was not overly flavorful or as good as expected for a dry aged steak. The sides were also mediocre. Desert was good and our waiter was efficient and helpful.

    This is my third time going and I must say I’m in love with this restaurant. The staff is so nice and so helpful. They know their food very well and the food just taste amazing. The steak is so tender. I love it. Every size that I’ve tried was so immaculate. I recommend to everyone.

    Had another great experience. Food, drinks and service were all excellent. I had the veal porterhouse, which was perfectly cooked, that I definitely would order again. My wife totally enjoyed her burger. My son and daughter’s ribeye and filet were properly cooked to their desired temperatures. Our appetizers and side were delicious as was dessert. Our server and all of the staff that we interacted with were very courteous and friendly.
