The entire bar and restaurant is designed in dark, elegant wood with very stylish and comfortable furniture, chairs and booths--even the requisite fireplace--giving it a private club-like feeling.

Best Ribeye I've had in a looooooong time. Comfortable atmosphere and kid friendly. Little pricey for what you get, but nonetheless, great food.

It's been at least ten years since our last visit. The food was very good but for the price we expect a higher level of service. We receive more appreciation of our patronage when we go to chain restaurants.

Big Steer = Big Price and Some Items You Should Steer Clear Of. My family of 5 and a daughter's fiance' went to the Big Steer last night and had mixed results. One daughter had the prime rib and it was prepared to perfection. My wife and I did not fare so well with the steak deBurgo, ordering it medium rare and it showing up well done.
