Gene & Georgetti's may claim to have great steaks and chops but they need to start serving up better sides and get up to speed on their drinks. ”

Absolutely the best steak ever. ”
- “
There was a long wait even with a reservation and the meal itself from appetizers to conclusion was almost a parody of bad service and worse food at high prices. ”
- “
All had steaks, one of which was medium rare instead of medium, but all good, juicy quality cuts of meat cooked well. ”

If you don't like medium rare you really need to stress that--I like fairly rare steak but as the steaks are thick you have to request a longer cook time if you don't want it pretty pink. ”

Break the diet and have the wonderful cottage fries with your steak. ”

The accompaniments, salad was okay nothing special, the bread was cold, like it just came out of the fridge, along with the butter. ”

Not a terrible cut of meat, but nothing I could not get at the mega-grocery. ”

What a joke - the steak was was flavorless, (good thing they actually have A-1 steak sauce on the tables), the potatoes they serve with dinner were cold mushy, and greasy, and the waiter was completely unintelligible. ”

The roasted chicken and NY strip are the best dishes, and when my son was with me, they always would just cook him whatever he wanted (usually an alfredo dish). ”

The steak was excellent and the service was good, but the cottage fries were cold and hard. ”

My husband and I both ordered the filet, which was a mistake because they were both absolutely the worst filets we have ever eaten, a burnt layer surrounded the raw stringy beef inside, we actually had to cut it off the meat which was flavorless, I added ”

The steak is lousy. ”

The steak was not bad but it was not great. ”
