   There was a mistake in service but the Sullivan’s team handled it well. They give a good faith effort and it’s a beautiful place, whilst the food was satisfactory plus. Great menu, too.

   We had a disappointing meal. Service was good. One steak was ok, two were charred so deeply, difficult to cut. Asked for a sharper knife, still difficult to cut. Both were very dry, barely edible. Salmon was dry and over-cooked. Bread and potato dishes were good. We chose Sullivan’s because it is listed as the best steak place in PD. We were entertaining son/daughter in law…embarrassed that the meal was so poorly prepared. This must not be your standard, but for us it was a waste of money and time. Sorry to leave a poor report, but hope it helps.

   The food when we got it was okay, but the service was very slow and our server was not very attentive nor very friendly . Our server’s attitude and demeanour was actually quite abrupt.

   We chose Tuesday Evening for special menu for $99 for two. Choice of appetizers to share, entree for each of us, side dish to share & desert to share. For entrees our choice was the 14 oz Ribeye & the Shrimp stuffed with crab. Our side dish was garlic mashed potatoes & our dessert was key lime pie. Everything was delicious. Our service was prompt & cordial. We had a wonderful time at Sullivan’s with Melanie as our waitress.

   Save the disappointment and go to Ruth’s Chris. Service was terrible. Felt like we were intentionally ignored. Food took forever to come and our Steak was barely warm and the outside edges burned. Baked potato also barely warm. They forgot our Brussel sprouts but when they did come were terrible. No bread was even offered to us. This is a steak house ?? Not even close. We have never had a bad experience at Ruth’s Chris and the prices frankly are the same. Won’t go back and certainly would not recommend it to anyone.

   Greeted by young women who didn't seem interested that we had a reservation and told us to seat ourselves. Waitress was young and seemed inexperienced despite her lovely personality. Had to run to the kitchen twice to ask questions. Food was okay. Fish was overcooked as well as the steak. Sides were great. Anniversary complimentary cheesecake was super dry and crumbly. Not the most memorable meal for an anniversary. We've dined here many times over the years. Probably won't again. Too many other places to try in the desert.

   The hostess tried to stick us in an overflow room but the restaurant was 3/4 empty so I asked her to move us into the main dining room. She said we don’t have the room to move you and I said the main dining room is almost empty so she made us wait and then moved us. The server was solid but the food was less than average! The steaks were cold and flavorless and the sides were either overcooked or mushy! How do you ruin a baked potato, they did it by burning it. The worst Brussel sprouts I have ever had, I don’t know how they could be that mushy! The only good and prepared food was the bread and butter which was actually great! This fine dining steak house is so BAD that you should never ever eat there unless you don’t want a great steak experience!
