Went there expecting to have a great meal, knowing full well the final cost. Unfortunately we left disappointed! We were expecting far more at that price point. You can have better grilled octopus at any Greek place. The rib steak was mediocre, the rapinni were underwhelming. We were undecided between 3-4 wines & our waiter's recommendation wasn't to our taste (that's OK). My comments are connected to the establishment's price point, & our expectation of a quality meal.View more

If money is no object & you want the BEST seafood & steakhouse in town - & renown for years with this distinction by public option, then come here & be sure to make a reservation in advance. Here is why you come here. - impeccable service with above server to customer ratio & attention to detail. - the highest quality ingredients - the highest quality standard in a every aspect of the business - top quality Dry & wet aged USDA prime beef on premise & antibiotic free & corn fed - decades (63 years) of consistent success - classic dishes of past like made fresh in front of you such as Caesar Salad, steak au poivre sauce flambe in front of you, crêpes Suzette & cherries jubilee made in front of you & flambé fun, home made (the best in the city ) Apple pie with hand made small batch ice cream from "Glacier Bilboquet" & so so much more - a wine list any world class sommelier would be jealous of - table set up with super fresh breads of all types & bread sticks (unlimited) on the table, crunchy crisp kosher dill pickles, homemade Cole slaw, creamy cottage cheese all plentiful & unlimited. But the real experience is that it's all old school from the attire of the staff to the elegant rich wood interior & decor, to the ambient soft music in the background, to the respectful & happy staff who are amazingly attentive to make certain your experience is nothing short of exceptional. Everything is made in house & there are NO shortcuts at this establishment as it's all a la minute & fresh. The decades seasoned owner Peter has stuck to his principals like a religion & like a religion his patrons have remained loyal in return. There is no other steak place in the city that comes close as its many, many "cuts" above the rest on numerous levels. Must try's: - Rib steak ordered Chicago (charred on the outside) - Monte carlo potatoe with bacon - Caesar or wedge salad - order as a side, their peppercorn sauce for dipping & drizzling - thigh the steak need not any accoutrements to make it taste good, it's just the peppercorn sauce is wicked homemade delicious & a real treat to experience as it's also made in front of you - shrimp cocktail - apple pie a la mode for sure!!! - red wine, they have many & at practically every price point for good quality wines but my fav red is J. Lohr a Californian Cabernet Sauvignon you bc any go wrong. You can park yourself but they also have valet as well as you can take your coat to your table but they also have the classic coat check when you enter.View more

The ambiance has a great old-school atmosphere. The service is attentive amd helpful. Unfortunately, the food is not up to for this type of establishement. The steak is just ok. The cesar salad felt wilted. Not fresh at all. The fries were overcooked & inedible. Unable to recommend this restaurant. There are much better options that offer much better value.View more

I went to Rib N Reef for a reunion last weekend. I was really looking forward to having our dinner there as the food was supposed to be amazing. We were 25 people in the wine cellar & we had a pre-set menu for the event. The service was very good, but the food...eh, not so much. We started with soup or salad. I had the ginger crab soup. Very salty, but I like salty so I didn't mind. Although a little spicy for my taste. Then there was either salmon, pasta or steak. I ordered the sirloin steak. It came with grilled vegetables & I chose the fries as my other side. What a disappointment! The steak was a bit tough & not a speck of seasoning on anything. Nothing. 100% bland. I had to laugh because the soup was so salty but the steak had nothing! Thank goodness they put some roasted garlic on the side & a salt shaker on the table! The veggies were good & the fries were just okay. Then we had caramel-drizzled chocolate cake for dessert...& coffee. I think the cake was the best part of the whole meal. Lol! Oh, & apparently the salmon was underwhelming as well. I'm just shocked that a high-end restaurant like Rib N Reef serves bland steaks. Anyway, the reunion was a lot of fun so that made it worth what we had to pay. But I would never go there again just for their food. There are a lot of places where you can get a great steak for less.View more

Went there 4-5 times,
Usually with group of 10-15 person,
Every single time the waiter made a mistake with the order,
0 empathy,
No excuses,
When you order a 75-100$ plate, you expect no mistake, & if there is, at least an excuse .
We were a group of 17 last time,
Private room, they offered it,
They charged us water bottles, to every single person on the table, never told us we would be charged for that when they served the water at first, at least offer the option
, they even charged 3 bottles to one single person (3x8.50)
As soon the bill came , we asked water, because yes we had to call the waiter for water at least 10x ,
He served us tap water, thats when we knew!
I went to the manager, not a single care was given.
+ 4 steak on the table were burned !!!!
Very disappointed, never going back there, & will never suggest anyone around me to go there .

Je me serais attendu à de la qualité extrême vu leur prix extrême. Mon rib steak & toutes les autres viandes de mes convives nous ont déçu. Pas juteux à souhait, tendreté décevante & respect de la cuisson inégalé. Tous ont demandé médium-saignant leur viande... mais 2 personnes sur 4 ont reçu leur viande médium, voire médium-bien cuit. INACCEPTABLE ! Ces assiettes ont dû être retourné.
Leur sauce d'accompagnement ressemblait à une préparation de sauce en sachet tellement qu'elle n'avait rien de raffinée. Pas fort !
C'était ma toute première expérience... & ma dernière.
Service : Bien exécuté... sans plus.

Les steaks sont ok sans plus. Le service en général est très bien & les lieux sont très beaux. Souvent les sauces en accomoagnement sont à refaire. Les entrés sont pour la plupart très bien

I went there on Feb 15th with my girlfriend for a valentine's dinner & we were both unhappy with our experience. I've been to Rib N Reef once before & it was good, but this time around our waitress was rude, the 28$ caesar salad was NOT good (they didn't charge me for it since we didn't eat it). Now for the best part we waited close to 2 hours to get our main dishes! I took a 14 ounce steak cooked medium & my girlfriend got the 10 oz Filet mignon medium rare, hers was beyond rare...she couldn't eat it. For 2 people, ended up being 160$ with tax & tip (NO WINE!!).
The worst part was how rude they were to me, after telling them I wanted to see a manager, my waitress told one of her friends (another waiter) he returned shortly & tells me out loud oh don't worry ill throw in dessert on me(in a very rude tone). After paying 160 for possibly my worst dining experience it's pretty clear I will never be returning.
