We went to SHF on a recommendation. When we arrived, we admired the quaint and relaxed atmosphere outdoors. We never actually went in past the hostess counter as we asked to eat outside. It was a beautiful evening. Upon receiving the menus, I was shocked. A 16oz split bone ribeye was $65. I got that anyway just knowing it would be filling and good. My lady got the salmon for $32. Beer was the local average about 7 or 8 a bottle. When we were sat, the hostess left, then the server arrived with a "fancy" glass bottle of water and poured water in glasses that were at our tables when we arrived. When our food arrived, we were highly disappointed. The salmon was supposed to be medium well and it was medium rare, still cool to the touch inside. And the serving was a few bites. The steak was probably the worst steak I've ever had. It was cooked properly, and even looked good, but it smelled bad, and I gagged on 3 bites. I notified the server when he came back and he took it and said he would get a manager. The manager showed up and offered his apologies and asked for another chance, and perhaps with a new York strip, grilled instead of cooked in a cast iron skillet. I said sure. Unfortunately when it arrived, it tasted worse. I'm a steak guy, eat it every chance I get, and at lots of places; this was just not a good steak to me. The manager came back and I told him after a bite of the strip I couldn't eat that either. The reason they get 4 stars is because the service was excellent. The manager knocked it out of the park with satisfaction. He didn't charge either steak, compensated a few beers and a baked potato, and gave us a gift card to another restaurant. As I said to him, I'll say now. To me, the steak was no good, but that's not to say to others it won't be. It seems to be their "house taste" of steak and I just didn't like it. While I probably won't be back for the food, I must say the service was great.

What a wonderful evening at Steakhouse Five! We sat outside (it was such a beautiful day) and had Raul as our (amazing and perfectly attentive) server. He was really great, and we were so glad to have him! My dearest friend and I like to eat delicious food and drink well made cocktails, and we definitely did that tonight! We each started with an old fashioned, and we got the ham dip and sour dough appetizers. That ham dip on that flat bread is DIVINE. It's like a delicious warm and deconstructed cheese ball, and who doesn't love those? I didn't have to have any of the sourdough to know it's amazing. It comes from Simply Pure Sweets! I try to limit my possible consumption of barley, so I was doing that here. I had a house salad before my entree (I just really love salad lol), and it was so good! Strawberry and blue cheese is not something I'd have put together myself, but it was a perfect pair. As a meal, I chose the Kansas City Strip with chimicurri and broccolini. I started with the strip, so I'll start there. Perfectly cooked to my liking, which is rare to med-rare. It was obviously plenty of meat, so I brought half of it home. It was seasoned wonderfully, and the sauce just enhanced that seasoning but wasn't required. The broccolini was, I believe, cooked in sesame oil. This was again a choice I wouldn't have made on my own, as I usually stick to stir fries and Asian dishes for sesame oil, but it was so good! I might have to cook broccolini that way at home sometimes! Of course I had a second old fashioned, which was equally as delicious, and we sat and talked for a while. Even then, Raul remained attentive and made sure we had waters. The fire on the patio was wonderful, and we probably would have stayed longer if we weren't people who go to bed early 🤣 Thanks for a wonderful evening of delicious food and for creating such a relaxed and beautiful environment that made us feel right at home 🖤 (Photo of my takeaway containers as a gentle reminder to do small things for each other and the planet!)
