    We always have a great experience. The wedge is to die for and the steak melts in your mouth.

    Little dated but gave to the era of old school steakhouse. Not sure why they have such strict dress code given it’s in a strip mall. Our server was attentive and accommodating. The dynamite roll was lacking flavor but the steak and mashed potatoes were good. They forgot to bring my lobster bisque so I was disappointed, but I was full so it was OK. We got the banana pudding for dessert and it was fine. They did make a really good martini, however. Little pricey, but it’s a steakhouse so I understand.

    A wonderful dining experience. The filet was perfection. The wedge salad is the best of all restaurants. Book Sullivans for a special occasion. Enjoy!

    I thought Sullivans was average overall. I ordered a house cut filet and it was on the chewy side. It was plated with nothing else, not even a sprig of greens. The scalloped potatoes were very good. The entryway floors looked grimy and dull, my shoes were sticking. I ordered a cocktail and the glass was worn out and dull. They could do better.

    Celebrating Father’s Day. Hostess needs to smile and not act put out when guests arrive. Service was very very slow. From the time we arrived, It took a half hour to get our drinks, 1 hour to get our salads and another half hour to get our entrees. I asked for a medium rare steak and it was on the well side and very dry. Not what I expect from Sullivans. I rarely send back food but this time I did and everyone at the table was done with their food by the time the server asked me if I ever got my steak?? I had sides on my plate they took back but did not get the sides on the return plate. Next took 35 minutes to get our dessert. Needless to say I was not happy with our experience. I rarely give reviews but this was definitely worth mentioning. All my other experiences with Sullivans have been outstanding so I am hoping this was just a bad day.
