Steakhouse 85 is a 21st century rendition of the classic American Steakhouse. The menu at Steakhouse 85 is comprised of fresh and inspiring modern day interpretations of classic American cuisine, served alongside the traditional steakhouse classics we all know and love. The back bone of our menu is without a doubt our beef. Our mouth watering dry aged steaks are rubbed with a simple yet luscious combination of sea salt, black pepper and fresh herbs. They are seared on a 1200 degree cast iron grill and then broiled to your liking. Paired with a large classically designed bar, complete with savvy cocktails and a Wine Spectator award winning wine list, this steakhouse is sure to please.

    Steakhouse 85 is always excellent food wise and service wise. The bartenders are excellent and they make the evening enjoyable. The kitchen is phenomenal about my gluten allergy and I have never had an issue. It’s a pleasure to dine at this fantastic restaurant! Thank you to the owner and staff who always make us feel welcome every time.

    We have dined at Steakhouse 85 many times, usually to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. The food is always very good. Meat or Seafood are prepared perfectly. Service is great. All staff is attentive to what we may need. We dined on a Monday and the restaurant was busy, which is always good to see. Always enjoy a meal here.

    Our first time dining at Steakhouse 85 was wonderful. Our server Paul took the time to explain all the menu options to us. He allowed ample time between courses so we did not feel rushed. The meal was excellent, from the featured wine, the appetizer (calamari), soup (lobster bisque), main course (petite filet mignon) and sides (scalloped potatoes and creamed spinach) to dessert (caramel sea salt gelato). The owner Matt Terranova and his daughter Karyn graciously welcome everyone and ensure they have an excellent dining experience. We will definitely dine at Steakhouse 85 again!

    Had Fantastic Anniversary dinner dining at Steakhouse 85! Kevin was a delightful server and couldn’t brag enough about how fabulous he made our evening so memorable with his delightful conversation, food suggestions and presentation of bringing out each course. Everyone working at this establishment has the highest stands of making their customers feel like royalty when dining here….at least we felt it the whole night. Teamwork and respect of working together as a staff really shines through when you experience such dining elegance at Steakhouse 85. Many thanks again to Kevin for making our Anniversary simple Perfect!

    Good service. Satisfactory environment. The food, however was missing a few of the finishing, masterful touches that one might find in a restaurant doing everything possible to deliver a 5-star experience.
