My wife and I ate at Open Table tonight and had a most pleasant experience. I had the Chilean Bass which was outstanding and my wife had a filet which was cooked to her liking and very tender. Our server, named Eva was outstanding and ably took care of us throughout the evening. We will definitely be back.

What an awesome experience! I had some friends visiting so I took them to Steelbach for dinner. We sat outside where they had heaters running and the noise level was pretty low. Our server was named Caroline and she was amazing! Such a sweet and kind person who attended to all of our requests. You could really tell that she is good at her job and very experienced! We ordered the cornbread appetizer, french onion soup and caesar salad to start. Both were delicious and were served promptly. For our main meal, we had steak, potato pave and mushrooms. The steak was delicious, the potato dish was unique as well as being very tasty. The mushrooms were some of the best I have had! I highly recommend this restaurant for a nice evening out with friends or a date night.
