    Great Business Lunch Pre-Fix Menu! You have 4 starters to choose from, 4 Entrees to choose from and 4 Side dishes to choose from all at an affordable price. The Lobster/Shrimp Bisque was outstanding. The Steak was tender and cooked perfectly. Our server was great!

    This place was a wonderful steakhouse. Intimate setting, good food, and great service. Our server, Ryan, was excellent and attentive. Always making sure that we were taken care of. Our server even made sure to wait while we cut our steaks to make sure it was the desired cook we wanted. We came for Restaurant Week so the deal for a three course meal was amazing! Would definitely come back

    Just Meh! I tried the lobster bisque. Barely warm. The garlic mashers were very bland. No flavor. Also tried the key lime pie. Very thick and heavy. Not worth the $!

    We have been coming to Sullivan's for years. And it never fails, something always goes wrong. This time, we ordered from the Restaurant Week menu. My sister and I ordered the same thing - NY Strip 8oz. We both ordered the Oscar addition. She ordered without Bernaise. The service was slow from the beginning but we figured that the waiter had too many tables and we were in no hurry. When the entrees came, her's was a large strip with bernaise and mine was a round steak. We explained to the delivering person that the orders were wrong. The waiter finally came and argued with me that we did not order Strip Steaks. When my sister's came, it was huge and the waiter said they just put a larger steak on the order. Mine tasted fine but was not a NY Strip. And then of course the waiter was scarce. We spent $250 for a restaurant week meal that was once again messed up. Very disappointing.

    Great food with great service. Steak, scallops and sea bass were all enjoyed throughly. Crab cakes were blue crab and lumpy (for the crab cake connoisseur). Nutella creme brûlée should not be missed.

    The food was mediocre at best, and the service was ATROCIOUS!!! Table cloth and wine glasses were already dirty when we were seated. Soup was served barely warm, salmon was dried out, potatoes were room temperature -- all most likely due to how long it took our server to deliver our food to the table. Start to finish, it took over 2 hours for our meal to be served, and during that entire time we were never offered refills for water, another round of drinks, or coffee. We will never go back.

    Atmosphere: Casual, upscale dining experience with a separate bar area and dining area. Food: Very good food and drinks and a great value for the money. Service: Great service, food was paced properly between appetizers, salads, and main course . I would recommend the dining area for a casual, yet upscale special event or evening out- the bar would be a great place to go after a long day on the golf course for a more casual yet upscale bar experience. Outdoor dining also available.

    Sullivan’s isn’t what it used to be. Service was slow. Plates picked up too early. No appetizer plates. Picked up cutlery not replaced. We had to ask multiple times to get more bread. One medium rare steak was overcooked. And the list could go on. If you want to use Costco gift cards for an inexpensive steak house dinner, it’s still works.

    Had dinner reservations for 3 on a Tuesday evening and the restaurant wasn't busy. Guessing they were short on wait staff because our server took a long time to take our order. We were catching up with a friend so that extra time was fine. The ahi tuna and spinach salads were delicious. The chicken dish was extremely over cooked and dry. Our server never came back to ask about our satisfaction with our meal so that was a waste. Upon meal completion and sitting longer, she brought out bill and asked about wanting dessert. That was it no concern for our experience. Can't say that I would come back again.

    The steaks were prepared to desired temperature, however they were very bland in taste. Way over priced for the steak and lack of quality. Service was good, slow to get to the table, over 15 minutes but once they stay it was fine.

    Our waiter, Troy, was attentive, helpful and efficient. A real delight. My scallops were delicious, but the measly leaf of bok choy with it was rather pathetic. Bread & butter served without even being asked, which was nice. And the option of having a blue cheese wedge salad with our entree for $5 was a wonderful surprise, and one of several reasons why we will be back. A lovely evening.

    The service was great - waiter allowed us time to enjoy our cocktail. All four of us ordered “The Sure Thing” which included soup or salad, main course, a side and dessert. The wedge salad with bacon and Blue Cheese is absolutely the best. The 6oz steak was cooked to perfection, tasted delicious. The dessert choices included Key Lime Pie! The cocktail was just okay, will order wine next time.

    Sullivans has gone downhill in the last couple of years. The food is mediocre at best. Their chef seems to think Rare is the new Medium in both steaks and fish. The quality just isn’t the same as it used to be. Our reservation was for 4:45 (only time we could get) but we were the only people in the dining room for an hour. I don’t know if this was the restaurants fault or Open Tables fault. Needless to say, I won’t hurry back to Sullivans.

    Pricing is more reasonable than competing Steak Houses, but so is the quality of the food and the clientele. Food was late coming out, and the quality was mediocre. Meat not Sous Vide and and thus cooking was inconsistent. Neighboring table felt like a Day Care Center, and several other Patrons (at least 3) were dressed like they were at a baseball game. I understand that management only has so much influence on Patrons' outfits, yet it was clear that many were happy to dress like they were in a Sports Bar. I would see different outfits at Mastros, Ruth's Chris, or LG's. Service was fine and friendly. Bar need soft music, not a loud 3 piece band.

    We had a nice evening. I wasn’t overly impressed with my steak. I ordered the Cajun ribeye. I expected Cajun seasoning. It was however, bland. Not to mention that 1/3 of my steak was fat. The rest of the meal was good but for the price I expected better.

    We were surprised that the restaurant had very few diners on a Friday & as the evening progressed, we understood why…. The first thing we noticed was a very unpleasant odor, almost a combination of dirty dishes & unclean surfaces. The food was sub par & the way the runner delivered our entrees was comical. Instead of starting from a position & delivering food that way, she just called out orders. Since multiple people had the same steak, you can imagine the chaos that ensued. Our regular server disappeared for minutes on end & was almost impossible to track down because staff in the dining room was nonexistent. A very poor dining experience. Not recommended.

    Was not one of our better experiences at Sullivan's. We have always had great service in previous trips and good food. We were at first seated at a booth by the kitchen ... it turned out that the kitchen was extremely noisy on our visit. We finally were able to move tables. Upon ordering we found that the kitchen could not cook one of our guest's lobster tails to their medium rare liking. It then took a long time for the server to come back for the re-order of a steak instead of the lobster tail. We found it strange that no managers seemed to be circulating in the restaurant and checking on table service, meal service, kitchen noise levels and all. It will probably be a long time before we return (if ever) to Sullivans based upon our latest experience.

    Service was awful!! Arrived at 6:00 and sat for at least 15 minutes and then server took drink order.. Finally brought drinks about 6:30 and 2 of the 4 were wrong . Food service was fine, but a mess trying to use gift cards for settling the check. Overall, dining experience was not good and will probably not go back.

    Went for my birthday lunch but really was honestly some of the worst food I’ve had in forever I was shocked. I got French onion soup, terrible. 90% bread and some weird burnt cheese that was t melted correctly and the broth itself was very strange. We also got a crazed salad which had too much sauce and huge lettuce leafs uncut which was unusual. My boyfriend got a spicy chicken sandwich when the sandwich was just alright other that the chicken being unbearably hot, the Parmesan fries on the side also dry and flavorless. Got a cheesecake for my birthday too after they forgot to bring it as requested and it was subpar, grainy bit weird flavor. Overall don’t waste your time, the place was empty for a reason.
