Berkeley Cut Steakhouse

I was excited to have an upscale restaurant in the area. I visited several times; my first experience was fantastic. However, each subsequent visit was inconsistent. I genuinely wanted to give it a fair chance.

The owner really needs to figure out who their target audience is. When I walked in, it felt like a mix between Chuck E. Cheese and some really poorly chosen 80s roller skating music.

The happy hour at this restaurant is fantastic! The food was delicious, and our bartender, Jules, was incredibly friendly, providing excellent service. The happy hour offerings are impressive as well. Mark, the manager, was extremely helpful too. Everything at this place is top-notch—beautiful ambiance, tasty food, and great service. I would rate it a perfect 10/10!

The service was excellent, and for a change, the music was at a low volume, playing old-school disco instead of overpowering dance club beats. However, when it comes to the food, if you're looking for a great steak, I'd suggest going to Rue Bistro or grilling it at home. I ordered the NY strip, but it was sent back to me raw instead of medium, and it had no flavor—it tasted like it came off a dirty grill! The fries were also cold and tasteless. It's disappointing, especially since the restaurant was only half full due to the season; you would think the kitchen could do better. This place has great potential and is a wonderful addition to the area, so I hope the owners don’t lose sight of what they have. They really need to improve the kitchen, especially at the prices they're charging. On a positive note, the wine list is quite good and very affordable right now.
