Editorial Review for Alfred's Steakhouse – by Patricia-Anne Tom

The Scene
Set in an alley and seemingly back in time, this masculine steakhouse is a respite for those seeking steak and stellar service. Generous pours from the bartender make the crowd of mostly business diners feel like regulars. Red leather booths, burgundy walls and plush carpet heighten the historic charm.

The Food
Aged beef is the star, so no matter the cut, it is served in its natural state unless diners request a pepper, garlic, bearnaise or chimichurri sauce. Using Alfred's Steak, a 20-ounce, bone-in New York cut, as a gauge, it is doubtful diners will leave hungry. The Tuscan T-bone, sitting atop a bed of spinach, is wonderfully tender, with hints of rosemary and garlic. And non-beef-eaters need not fret; a grilled-eggplant vegetable plate, seafood and fettuccine Alfredo are on the menu. Two generously portioned sides--a choice between garlic mashers, baked potato, french fries, ravioli, creamed spinach or fresh vegetables--accompany all entrees.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've been to Alfred's twice and have no complaints. The martini that I ordered was huge and made just right. Kinda old school...they give you the shaker with a glass. You can't beat that. Alfred's has a great School Night Dinner that you have to try. The price is right. I had the 8 oz filet on both occasions and it was cooked to perfection. The Wedge Salad with Pt. Reyes blue cheese dressing is terrific. Depending on how much dressing you like you might want to ask them to go easy. It's a bit heavy. The fresh veggies and the mac and cheese are good choices for sides. This is a good all around experience.

Pros: School Night Dinner; Drinks; Steaks

I had dinner at Alfred's with 6 friends and it was great. Everything from the drinks to the dessert was pretty delicious. The filet mignon was the largest filet I had every seen and the mac & cheese, to die for! The portions are very large so come hungry. The server was prompt and helpful. If you want steak-go to Alfred's!

Pros: Good value-Get The School Nite Special, great food

Cons: Don't forget to get your parking validated!
