| What do you need to know? I don't get it. It's a restaurant. A steakhouse. Come hungry. |

| Dress code? Bring the kids or leave them home? What is good? What not to try? Etc... |

| That you are over paying for an average meal with below average service. |

| Okay, that's a bit of help. Dress code: anything, really. What's good...steak. Seriously. Bring kids? Depends on the age but I wouldn't if I didn't have to. |

| That it's like Applebee's, only (inexplicably) more expensive. |

| I would not bring young children. The restaurant is a big ripoff. The food is not good and the service is poor. If I want a good steak, I cook it at home! |

| Best steak in DC is at Bourbon. |

| You'll see people there in everything from work clothes to dressed up to casual (neat jeans, nice top). If it's a Fri/Sat people may be a little dressier. |

| I think it's on par with Outback. Maybe with more window dressing. |

| Standard steakhouse fare with huge portions. Side dishes are all extra. You can probably check out the menu online. I always think of it as middle america style/business dinners. Nothing fancy. I don't normally see kids in steakhouses but I only go for business lunches or dinners during the week. |

| It's middle class. Add to the For Middle Class thread. |

| What is good steak? I ask because I happen to love Applebee's 9oz sirloin. (I hate Outback's steaks though.) |

| They have excellent oven-broiled tomatoes. At least they used to, haven't been in nearly 5 years. All of their sides are served family-style. I think it's way better than Applebee's, moderately better than Outback. |

| We went there for Father's Day b/c we had a gift card. There were kids there. My dd wore a casual dress and ds wore a golf shirt and khakis. My kids are fairly well behaved in restaurants so they were comfortable there. But it was rather dark and isn't the most kid-friendly place. Dh and I thought the quality had gone down -- although it was our first visit in years. |
