Horrible meal
My husband and I decided to have a romantic night out. So we decided to go to the steakhouse at the Hard Rock since he had been there before and had enjoyed it. When we arrived we were seated immediately and we ordered ice teas and read over the menus. The first complaint that I had were that the sides were not included in the price of the meal. If you are going to charge me six to eight dollars a side up the price of my entree. Seven dollars for a baked potato with a thirty-five dollar steak is a little tacky. Next, as I was looking around everyone else was brought bread and butter before their meal except us and it never arrived at our table. I then decided on the lobster which was listed at "current market price" so I order that and my husband order the porterhouse. We ordered these plus sides and an portabello mushroom appetizer. The mushrooms were horrid, they were supposed to be sauteed which they might have been but they had been marinated in wine for so long they were mushy and tasted very much like vinegar. When dinner arrived the lobster was very chewy and was by far the worst lobster I have eaten. Anyone could have cooked lobster better. I took two bites and asked for the check. When the check came the bill totalled $170. The price of the lobster was $85. Absurd. My husband and I have eaten at five-star restaurants around the world and this place was the worst place I have eaten in years.    [29 Mar 2001 00:40:50]

Great when not busy
I ate there a few years back and had one of the best steaks and overall meals of my life and I have lived in wonderful food cities such as Chicago and New Orleans.
The steak was incredible, every bite made me pause and reflect and how awesome it was.
The lobster bisque was to die for.
The second time I ate there it was not as good. I think everything suffered because it was so busy. It was still very good but not nearly as an enjoyable meal as the first time. I would eat there again but I would go right when they open to avoid the bar-club atmoshpere of when it gets busy.    [16 May 2003 10:20:50]
