A co-worker mentioned she had tried Steel last week and that I had to go. I hopped on Citysearch to read about Steel and was put off by the few negative reviews but my co-worker always recommends great places so 3 friends and I went yesterday. I think those few people either ate at a different restaurant or maybe they are a disgruntled former employee because we loved Steel. We initially went for the $5 martini Happy Hour and the drinks were so good and Tessa, our bartender was so helpful in recommending drinks to try that before we realized, it was time for dinner, so we stayed. Oh my goodness! Our waiter suggested what to order and he recommended that we share family style so we didn't order too much and we found the portions more than ample to share. More importantly, our waiter recommended the shaken beef and we found this dish so flavorful and tender and the lamb chops were perfectly prepared and delicious. We also had the sea bass and it was so fantastic that if I wasn?t already so full I would have suggested we order another sea bass. I'm still salivating over it and need to get back soon to have it again. The atmosphere was fun, sophisticated and such a needed addition to the Atlanta restaurant scene. I eat out a lot, never cook and my friends and I had a great meal, drank too much and found that there is a difference between a martini and a GREAT martini. I will be adding this place into my restaurant rotation and can't wait to try the sushi.
Pros: Extensive cocktail menu, amazing food and service you would expect at a nice restaurant.
Cons: Difficult to get to since 10th & 14th St. exits are closed - Go down Spring
