    Three of us experienced one of the best and most unique dinners we have had in a long time. We were celebrating a birthday and she remarked that it was the best birthday she had ever had. We had appetizers and entrees and each thing was better than the the one before. (Huge thumbs up to Leek salad and Swiss chard Tempura--trust me) The service was impeccable and timely. We will go back often👍🏼👍🏼🥰

    Wife wanted to go to Al Biernat's for our 24th anniversary, and it was exceptional. We were greeted at the door and shown to our table immediately. Our server took great care of us and checked in often to ensure we were well taken care of. My wife had the filet and it was extremely delicious and tender, and my surf and turf did not disappoint. The sides were delicious and there was enough to satisfy any appetite. I found it to be well worth the price and a great overall value and experience.

    Great service great customer service but the food was interesting.. lobster and shrimp appetizer toooo sweet, and the warm crab roll no taste like before and was not warm…. And the mash potatoes were dry and hard… The quality of food should be the same as how you present all the cuts of steaks.. especially for the price point!!!
