Steak Knife Restaurant — Restaurant in New Orleans

This place is a gem! Everything from the time you walk in. My husband and I sat at the bar which is a beautiful set up where you can eat and enjoy your meal. There's also a full service dining room completely separate from the bar. This place is such a treat, our favorite so we have basically tried everything on the menu. The apps are so fresh the smoked salmon served w cream cheese and toast points topped w capers, Yumm! The crab claws are meaty w tons of flavor and the onion rings, thin and crispy just so good. If you like escargot you will love the way this one is prepared! I could go on but let me tell y'all about the steaks. I love the filet MR it comes on a sizzling plate drizzled w fresh butter. My husband went for the ribeye R, also on a bubbling buttery plate, talk about cleaning his plate! Everything is made to order so it's nice to try a Caesar salad while you wait for the main course. Another win! The complementary bread and butter is even that good. Try the cream spinach, we went for the augratin potatoes as well! It's so hard to chose a side, there's plenty to choose from all delicious! Don't forget to inquire about their specialty chocolate Martini for dessert! If you have never been you truly are missing out!...

Our party of two was shown promptly to a nice table in the main dining room. We gave our server, the five-star Jonathan, our drink orders and while we were waiting, we saw the hostess fall (quite gracefully, honestly) out of her shoe. A table near us managed to catch a napkin on fire and did not realize it for entirely too long. Jonathan made sure we knew more bread was available, if we wanted it, twice. When my husband asked for his steak as rare as possible, Jonathan asked us "Pittsburgh?" We replied "What?" and that was the end of that line of questioning. Our meals came in a very timely fashion and our steaks were cooked perfectly. When it came time for dessert, we were told creme brulee was an option; then, apologetically, Jonathan informed us they did not have any because the old lady who used to make them had died and the new ones were just okay. Steak Knife provided us with dinner and a show and we...

I have never experienced a ruder owner than I did at The Steak Knife Restaurant tonight. I do NOT recommend going especially with bigger parties. We went with a group of us for a friend’s birthday and haven’t seen each other in a while. We were towards the end of our dinner and the owner walked over and in the RUDEST tone ever said “yall are being too loud.” And we asked if he was joking or being serious because there’s no way that this guy was coming over and saying that to us SO RUDELY without it being a joke. We were laughing and having a great time, but we were not overly loud…. And if we were being overly loud, there is a nicer way of asking us to please lower our voices. He ruined the mood and I will NEVER come back again. I am appalled by the way this man spoke to us. I will say our waiter was excellent and it wasn’t his fault. I feel bad for him having to work for someone like that....
