A steakhouse should cook a steak the way that you have ordered it and a good steakhouse has chefs and grillers that send out perfectly cooked steaks just the way that you have ordered them and the maturity of the meat should be tasted subtly.
This to me is what a good steakhouse represents and you cannot call yourself a steakhouse if the meat is not cooked properly or matured correctly, if you do mature the meats that is.
Butcher Block is an interesting restaurant because the view is fantastic during the day and the décor is interesting. I personally don't want to stare at an ornamental statue of a cow whilst eating a cow but that might just be me.
The lighting has been changed in this venue and it has been made a little warmer to sit there but I have been here three times now, the third time was not my choice and I have not been satisfied on all three occasions. Consistency!!!! That is something that lacks in many restaurants and this one is no exception.
A steakhouse should not get the steak order wrong and this has happened each time that I have been there. I also ordered a blue cheese sauce and found it very dry.
The rest of my table had the same complaint - their steaks were not cooked properly and one of them ordered a burger which would be the only thing on the menu that I would recommend.
Service is slow, management seem to run around a lot but are not present when it comes to observing unsatisfied customers and the restaurant floor is always dirty.
I would have to say that for the prices that you pay and the quality of food and service this would not be my first stop and I would not go there for a steak.
