Golf's Steak House

An associate invited me here for dinner recently and I really feel like this place needs an honest review.

Eating here reminded me why I don't go to places like this for food. Maybe a cocktail, but to even call what they serve "food" is a reach.

This place is for uncultured, tasteless, uninspired, dying people.

When I was eating the food I felt as if I were in a scene of a movie where a character has hit rock bottom and the food they eat (which is supposed to give us life and inspiration) tastes like the color gray.

The food was not simply missing seasoning, it was also missing intention and care.

It reminded me of the unspoken moment over a decade ago, when I realized that steakhouses like Golf's was actually a scam. How anyone could recieve a higher and more professional level of cooking, with a more refined menu for the same price or less, elsewhere.

The price isn't at all the issue - it's the food. The food is reminiscent of old white lady's home cooked dinner, where her husband is going to keel over if he has a touch of salt but that makes no difference to her because she believes her only purpose is to serve her husband so her food is bland, overcooked, unloved, and somehow tastes a lot like resentment.

I feel like I ate the meal of a silent domestic dispute between two geezers. I was truly offended that my associate invited me here that I took it as a sign to not do business with him in the future.

It is incredibly telling when a human being can't recognize when something is below mediocre. The price is just a bonus joke. If you're going to be a steakhouse, do it because you care about making great steak, not because it enables you to be in a higher price point for profit.

We were happy to spend ~$260 initially, expecting a higher class of cooking and ingredients.

Steak was used and abused, steam veg tasted boiled from frozen, rice was greasy in a lard kind of way, seafood was somehow lacking its natural flavor. But the lobster was cooked nicely, tender yet firm.

I really could not finish my food because it was beyond unappetizing, the service is similar to an Applebee's - inconsistent. It is a coinflip because our server was impolite, unresponsive, and clumsy. However I'm sure there were great servers working other sections.

Honestly don't go here, for any reason. But especially not for a celebration, because whatever joy you hope to garner by having an amazing dining experience will be diminished if you chose to eat here.

Please deprogram yourself and spend your money at a restaurant that pays you in flavor, ambiance, and respect.
