A word from Steakhouse 85

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.

"My wedding reception was held at Steakhouse 85. Their service was impeccable, from preparing for the event, all the way to the end of the evening. Julian was professional and accomodating. The food was amazing, hands down, every course. But I was amazed that all of the food was delivered as ordered and HOT, simultaneously to such a large party. I honestly can't wait to celebrate my 1 year anniversary there. I can't say enough about this place! 5 stars!!"

"A wonderful upscale evening. The jazz band was great and made for an enjoyable atmosphere. Wait staff (Chris) and owner (Matt) were attentive and knowledgeable. I am interested in returning for Friday Date Night; it sounds like a great deal."

"I found my first visit to Steakhouse 85 to be an excellent culinary experience in a charming and intimate setting. The lobster bisque was delicious, and the Delmonico steak was perfection. The presentation of the various steak cuts and their descriptions was very helpful in deciding what steak to choose, and the overall service was great."
