💸 Salt Lake City | ❌ Steak Night Turned into a Total Wallet Assassin!

My bestie’s birthday called for a fancy steak dinner 🥩🎂… so we dressed up and showed up — only to be utterly roasted by the experience. Honestly, every dish was memorably… bad. And I haven’t written a food warning post in a while — so here we go! 💔 The photo wall at the entrance was gorgeous 📸✨ — little did we know, that would be the only smile of the night. Let’s talk pricing — this place is bold. Steaks start at $80 per cut (more than Ruth’s Chris or Spencer!), A5 Wagyu at $49/oz — and guess what? Sides NOT included 😱 Extra butter? $13. Sauce? $16. At this price point in California, you’d expect perfectly aged meat and flawless execution… but here? Let me tell you a story 🎭 🦐 CEVICHE Tiny portion, and the “Tiger’s milk” (onion-lime juice) was so sour it felt like a spiritual awakening — and not in a good way 🙃 🦀 JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKE Just one — and “Jumbo” my foot, it was smaller than my palm! So forgettable I didn’t even take a pic. When a foodie like me forgets to photograph a dish… chef, you’ve got skills 😬 🥩 THE STEAKS — The Main Event (or Disaster) We ordered Filet, Ribeye, and New York Strip — all arrived looking like molecular gastronomy gone charcoal. The crust was so bitter even I — an espresso-slugging Italian-hearted woman — winced like a grumpy subway grandpa 🧓☕ Dry, overcooked, and we asked for medium! The New York Strip had zero beefy richness. And that sad little sprinkle of red shreds on a barren white plate? What even was that? 🌶️❓ We’re usually the elastic-waistband crew, but we gave up after half a steak each. My birthday girl said we needed emotional recovery food STAT — so we bounced to Foodie Sweetie, ordered a whole feast 🥡🍲, and finally found joy again munching on tornado potatoes and sharing roast sessions. 🥔💨 #SaltLakeCity #UtahEats #FoodWarning #DiningFail #OverpricedSteak #WalletAssassin
