Upon arrival, we’ve been seated promptly. This was our first time at Peter Lugers. We ordered tomato “salad” (One large tomato sliced into 5 slices - $12.00). I know they claim it is a special grown tomato. Sorry, my husband and I didn’t notice anything special about it, very average tasting tomato. We also ordered spinach and steak for 2. Spinach tasted like a 99c defrosted pack of spinach with no cream or anything else in it. So I did not eat it at all, my husband ate some. So, we told ourselves, maybe salads and spinach is not their specialty, steak must be great here(All great reviews????). Our steak arrived. It looked nice, large enough for too. Taste was a huge disappointment for both of us. We’ve made reservations 3 wks in advance to eat this.. Steak was pretty tough and had no taste. Their “Peter Luger” sause, is a regular shrimp cocktail sauce you can buy at any supermarket. Ok, I can’t compare it to too many other fancy/expansive stakehouses, but even “Outback” is WAY better. We’ve been to Del Frisco’s in NYC, and it was great, a bit more expansive than Peter Lugers. So, at Peter Lugers our bill came to $135.00 (we also ordered 2 coffees and 1 desert). Final Note: Bad, Bad, Bad food. Our server was nice. It is all a hype, nothing else. Their upstairs section was totally empty, but they were telling people that asked if they could be seated –NO, you need to make reservations.
Pros: service was nice
Cons: bad, bad food
