    We went to Sear House for my son's 18th birthday, and the experience was a mixed bag. For a steakhouse with "Sear" in the name, I would have expected better on the steaks. Mine came out perfectly cooked. My son's was both overcooked (medium to med-well when he ordered med-rare) and didn't have a good sear - the outside was more gray than brown. My wife's (apparently frozen) ravioli came out cold in the middle. She sent it back (we're not usually senders back of food) and it came out better the second time. This happens, I understand. The real issue was that our waiter never once acknowledged the error. We had to track down a food runner to send it back, because our waiter disappeared once the food arrived. After we let them know about the issue, our waiter proceeded to walk by our table several times without saying a word to us - no apology, nothing at all. Obviously it's not his fault there was an issue with the food, but an acknowledgement or apology would have gone a long way toward making it not ruin the overall experience. When you're paying $100 per person for a meal, I expect the service to be a bit better. The sides were great.

    Tries to be a classic steakhouse but false short. Slow but kind and friendly service.

    At first glance, the Searhouse menu looked a bit pricey. However, I then spotted the Prix Fixe option at the bottom, and not only did it offer every item I was looking for, but the price was quite reasonable. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and both the appetizer (soup) and dessert (chocolate mousse) were delicious.

    Porterhouse steak for 2 was good. Cowboy steak (ribeye) was very tough and barely edible. Halibut was tasteless. Appetizers and sides were good. Desserts were very good. Overall, not worth the $600 for 5 people. River Palm is much better.
