an expensive surf and turf is great but in general that kind of steak house, they often have super boring food. side veg, side potato.

also really the worst if you don't eat meat or drink liquor

Yeah, the sides definitely make a big difference. The 3 cities I spend the most time in are NYC, San Francisco, and DC, and luckily those all have Mastros that clients seem to like a lot, and I usually really like their sides and apps even if I'm kind of tired of steaks. They have a seared tuna app that is insanely good, and I can usually go for oysters. Then we do usually end up getting a lot of potatoes, but normally either these mashed potatoes with lobster in them or these cheesy scalloped potatoes, and I'm usually in the mood for at least one of those. And I don't know how they cook them but they have these sauteed mushrooms that are insanely good...

But yeah, a lot of places it's basically just a steak, a baked potato, and asparagus or something. Which is admittedly great food, but gets old pretty quick.
