    This was our first visit to Steakhouse 85. We enjoyed the whole experience. The food, service, value and ambiance were top of the line. We were there on their Date Night. For $125 a couple, you get an appetizer, entree, desert and bottle of wine from their short list. The selections for Date Night gave us good choices and we chose things that we were going to order originally. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it!
