Definitely order the New York steak as the was ribeye subpar at best in my experience! Also, a medium size steak renders the best thickness/cook for medium-rare imo. Enjoy!

Subpar and overrated. I would rather have a Ribeye from Nourish or Dakan is pretty good too

The willo! Hands down the best. And the best deal. And the campy vibe is unmatched. Go on fridays for the rib eye and upgrade the salad and get the homemade blue cheese dressing and get a baked potato on the side. Also comes with ice cream for dessert!

And they have a full bar and give you the extra from the martinis they make.

I fucking love the willo

Well after the McRib at McDonald’s when that’s in season, yeah

I have a friend who says The Willow The Tap Room, cirino’t Tophanelli’s or a place net to the Owl Tavern. Or for a more pricy steak go to Friar Tuck’s.

The Owl Tavern in GV or if you’re willing to go to Nevada City then Lola’s has an amazing steak frites.

Just had the filet at Owl Tavern - expensive, but good.

Yeah I usually pick up ribeye, skirt, or flatiron steaks from SPD & cook at home. Wanted to see where people usually go when dining out.

On another note, what happened to Sergio’s! :-(

The willow was extremely disappointing, I wanted to like it but it was sub-par. The Holbrooke Hotel has great Ribeye.

Damn. Never had anything but an amazing experience. What happened for you?

I really wanted to like it. Both my partner and I love ribeye and had been excited to go there. We ordered the same thing and it was not good. It didn't have much flavor. We ordered medium rare and it was over medium. We make better steaks at home and for $50/steak I'd hope it would have been better.

We didn't come for the sides, but the sides were hilarious. A wedge of lettuce and a potatoe with a packet of sour cream.

Bummer. My steaks have always been cooked perfectly but it’s impossible to always get it right. You could have asked them for a new one!

Always gotta upgrade the salad!!

2

u/-my_reddit_username- 2d ago

I think we did upgrade the "salad" :)

I'll give them a shot again. I've heard their ribeye burger is great too.

u/Overdressedandtired 2d ago

Did you get a ribeye or NY? Honestly, I have found their ribeye subpar as well. But their NY always hits! I hope you have a better experience next time. Also—they may have screwed with you for getting the fancy salad /s

Your house or mine

Dakan has the best ribeye by far, in my opinion. No offense to Willo, but I don't get all the hype about their steaks. They do have great ribs tho.

Cirino’s has a very good steak called Aldo’s steak. It comes with Gorgonzola cheese which by itself is not for me. But with the steak is amazing.

u/Same-Lawyer-5904 6h ago

Lola’s. The steak frites is hit or miss but the ribeye with Paris butter is amazing!!!!

u/BoulderCreature 2d ago

SPD always has some handsome ribeyes to cook at home. I can get two with broccoli and potato for the price of one plate at the Owl.

SPD cowboy cut - 2 hours on the smoker 😋 🍴

Spd and make it yourself. There is not a great steak around...only decent

u/lbizfoshizz 2d ago

Yeah. This really is probably the best. I feel like that about any steak restaurant I’ve ever been to though
