Robert's Steakhouse - Inside of the Penthouse Executive ClubBelieve it or not, someone actually put a steakhouse inside of a strip club. And a very good steak house, at that. Glorious. It is entirely what you would want a steakhouse in a strip club to be. Have a bomb ass steak and enjoy the entertainment.
Our visit here was a bit delayed from the start. We had made reservations, just for 2, at 8PM. There was a large party that came with 10 more people than expected and took up an entire section. We had to wait at the bar until at least 9:15. The host did buy a few rounds on the house to make up for it, but it was still annoying to stand there when you are starving. The view wasn't bad though.
I suppose I'll start with the cut. We ordered the porterhouse for two, like we have at most of these steak houses. It was a good piece, but that's about it. It was well below any of the steak houses we've been too. It was a bit hard to chew at some points, more fatty/gristley than I'd care for. They did have a different type of dipping sauce, that we had not seen before, that was very tasty. It was still a great steak, don't get me wrong, but it was just not up to par with the other places we've been.
Robert's shining moment as far, as the food goes, was there Au Grautin Potatoes side dish. Hands down the best Potato dish I've tasted. We also got the standard creamed spinach and to our surprise and delight, was a bit more spinachy than creamy. I'd also like to mention they poured our water from a big ass pewter jug in the shape of a tiger. You can't get any more awesome than that.
It it a completely different experience eating a steak in this enviornment, one that I think everyone should do at lease once. It takes some getting used to having naked girls grinding on some dude AT THE NEXT TABLE while you are enjoying dinner. I don't think any steak house is going to get a better rating in the level of debauchery category.

I'd say Grant's review was pretty spot on, I gave slightly better service and sides ratings.
