New Year's Eve 2024/2025 Last year we visited Stevens Steakhouse for New Year's eve, we were served a nice sit- down steak dinner, party favors were already at our tables, ample dance room, everything seemed to go fairly smoothly, except the restrooms were grossly last year too and still understaffed, but we decided to revisit this year, Unfortunately this year ringing in 2025, Stevens Steakhouse decided to cheapen the experience by cramming in as many people as possible and making the dinner buffet style, you waited in long lines to get raw prime rib and cold pasta, having to make way since they allowed people on both sides as staff would come in between us literally dumping more food into the trays for refilling, mind you, these buffet tables would later be removed to make room for the dance floor area, there was fragments of leftover food on the Dance Floor since it wasn't cleaned, after we were herded like cattle through the buffet we had to make our way through the overcrowded, crammed and narrow seating area with plate in hand, and good luck getting your cocktail waitress to bring you a drink as they were grossly understaffed, at $110 per seat coffee and tea was not included one cup of coffee cost $5 and all alcoholic drinks were at least $18 each, I feel bad for the people who paid for the $250 seats for no better of an experience, later you had to wait in more long lines for the desert area (one small table), as the staff were frantically cutting whole cakes into slices, this should have been done ahead of time, when we finally got a Slice of Cheesecake it was still frozen, people were also walking around looking for utensils as the staff had picked up our dinner plates and no one thought to have forks available for the cake, I personally walked over and asked someone in the kitchen for forks, but I saw other people also lost looking for utensils, after we finished our dessert it was time to fight the mob for the party favors, there was one guy by himself handing out party favors as a larger and larger crowd formed with people becoming upset as everyone tried to grab for party favors at once, this was a packed house and they had one person handing out party favors. Now it was time to dance, that's if you could find any space on the overcrowded and much smaller than last year's dance floor area, the music didn't start until 10:00 p.m. which gave most people only about 2 hours of dancing, last year since there was no Buffet tables on the Dance Floor people were able to start dancing much earlier, also I should mention this was a sold out event but Stevens was still allowing more people to come in at 10:00 p.m. for $30 per person, this means all of us who paid more for our seats and dancing had to share an overcrowded dance floor with people who came in at 10:00 for significantly less, this was a salsa dancing event, it was extremely difficult to try to dance without getting stepped on, stepping on someone or hitting someone else with so many people, now let's talk about the restrooms, there is an upstairs restroom that has no ventilation and is always extremely hot like a sauna, I went to the downstairs restrooms, they looked as though they had not been cleaned even before the event, but no one was cleaning them during the entire event, I asked Steven's staff twice to have the restrooms cleaned, it was never done, the floors were covered in urine and toilet paper and toilet seat covers, there was toilet paper and trash everywhere, again, this is a salsa event, you have women in Suede bottom Shoes trying to dance with shoes covered in urine and toilet paper stuck to the bottoms, people were warning each other as we walked into the restroom and trying to get wet toilet paper off of their shoes, it was disgusting, I did get a few photos of the restroom but unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the restrooms at their worst. Steven's got greedy...
Read moreI booked Steven's Steakhouse as the venue for my Dad's birthday party. I'm not sure exactly what happened because it was never communicated with me and my fellow host that our party was bumped from the room we reserved and paid for. I've collected bits and pieces from my party guests about what they were told... apparently my party was bumped due to a last minute concert, an event that was likely much more profitable than my small party. Instead of the room we paid for, we were seated in an awkward table that appeared to be a general dining area. The table didn't allow one end of the table to communicate with the other without shouting or getting up and going over to talk to them. I had asked for a quote for two dinner packages to relay to my fellow host and we decided on the package that better suited the dietary needs of our guests. In what appeared to be an upgrade the dinner package was changed... there were no menus or dinner party menu to allow the guests to anticipate what the evening would entail. There was so much confusion. I had set everything prior to the event because I was traveling from out of state and knew I would have plenty to do for the party once I got to town. The change of menu was not anticipated and caused additional confusion. The dinner wasn't very good, the chicken was dry, the shrimp was bland and the steak was difficult to chew. Across the room from my Dad's birthday party was what appeared to be the gathering for after funeral services for someone else's Dad, a big funeral wreath with DAD was the view my Dad and his wife got throughout the party. I didn't take any photos out of respect for the family. It was an epic fail and a lack of mindfulness for the event coordinator to schedule these two events in the same dining room. This experience was nothing of what I expected or anticipated. I was required to pay in full when I booked the event. I paid a $3 room fee for each guest however we were in a shared dining room. I even ordered an extra plate in the event that my Dad wanted both options because well I know him... he was really looking forward to having us all together since several traveled from out of state to attend his birthday party. The manager I booked the party with mentioned that change in menu and I understand he wanted me to be happy but he asked me right in front of my Dad and I was so uncomfortable with the whole experience. A phone call prior to the event to advise me of the change would have allowed me the opportunity the reaccess the situation and potentially pick a venue that would have better suited my parties needs. I do understand that my small party would not give them the profit of a larger party and that is why I asked on first contact if they were interested in booking a smaller party. Disappointed and slightly embarrassed... I definitely feel like I didn't receive the value nor...

This place is awesome and very clean!!!!!! The music was on point......Frank Sinatra ole school era. Soft and pleasant music to the soul while you enjoy a fantastic meal!!! The music wasn't overly loud. So you can have a wonderful time talking to one another while eating your meal.

It's kinda pricy but your worth it!!! $$$ to $$$$ depending on what you order.
It's a dressy casual vibe!!! No torn clothing kinda vibe!! 😁👍
I had a seafood pasta dish called Eli's Midnight Special ($34.95 ) with a vodka martini ($11.00) which was really really good and not watered down!!!!
The portions was enough for me to make three meals! There was crab, scallops, and shrimp with some really very tasty garlic bread on top of fettuccine and a garlic alfredo sauce!!!! I enjoyed it very very very much!!! 😋👍
My sister and her friends ordered the Ladies cut Prime rib 10 ounce steak dinner with veggies and mashed potatoes.
They have various size steaks and my sister and her friends gobble them up! They had coffee with their meal and said it was the best coffee they've ever had at a restaurant!!!! 😋👍
They serve a salad or chicken noodle soup with the dinner!!!! The soup is really good and my sister and her friends enjoyed the salad!
What made the coffee special was the extras they had to go with the coffee. Cinnamon sticks, whipped cream and small shaved chocolate pieces. Yum yum!!!! 😋👍. Everyone had at least 2 to 3 cups of coffee with their meal!!
Needless to say...... everyone dined sufficiently!!!!
This is an excellent restaurant for first dates, anniversaries, birthdays and any special occasion!!!! It's really not suited for children but they can dine there. There's no children menu but there are smaller portion meals they can have.
This is a place where you leave the kids at home and enjoy and adult night out!!!
There is free parking and valet service if you just want to be fancy!
I would definitely be coming back!!!!! I highly recommend this place!!!
Check out their menu and look at the wide variety of dishes and alcohol menu! You will not be disappointed! It's in the city of Commerce, about a half mile from the Citadel!!!
You work hard for your money!!!! It's nice to treat yourself and enjoy the fruits of your labor!!!! You are with...
