"Although we have eaten there before, but some time ago, and read all the great reviews regarding the steakhouse, disappointed would be the best way to characterize how the evening was.
The steak, a Porterhouse for 2 ($84) was cooked as requested, rare to medium, but there was a nerve on the back side of the steak that ran the entire length. The horse radish mash potatoes which were very dry, heavy and not whipped and creamy.
I would have to think long and hard to revisit this steak house in my town."

"It was my first time visiting. Getting there was little tough because i wasnt from the neighborhood and my navigation pointed (both car and iphone) the restaurant 2miles ahead of actual location. However the food was fantastic. Steak was excellent wine selection was great oysters was outstanding. Everthing was perfect. Waitress was super nice.. Def going back. One thing i would mention would b desserts. They were too sweet for my taste."

"The Park Steakhouse really delivers a top-notch dining experience. From the succulent steaks, to the perfectly cooked fish, the kitchen has nailed every dish we have tried. (Try the jalapeño mashed for a side with a kick!) This quick review wouldn't be complete with mentioning the attentive staff, who could not be more accommodating. I should add that this is one of the only steakhouses my wife looks forward to, as she isn't a fan of steak. But she knows she will always enjoy her meal at the Park Steakhouse,"

"This is a lovely, old fashioned steakhouse that caters to the small town feel of the area. The food was fine but not memorable. The service was average and well intentioned. This is all to say that at a lower price this place would have gotten four stars from me. At these prices, the Park competes with better restaurants. While I would eat here again, it's only because I am on a generous expense account!"

"Seated us immediately, and the waitress was attentive. They were flexible when I asked for something that wasn't on the menu, and the specials were quite distinct from the menu offerings. We stuck to the steaks (a porterhouse and a 'cowboy' ribeye, on the bone) which were well seasoned, and we each (there were two of us) got the steaks cooked to the degree we'd requested. Desserts were good, and we walked away happy. Wine by the glass (good selection), and avoid that bread plate - it's delicious, and it will fill you up."

"the decor is very dated. service was good, but they don't really treat you like anything special. our favorite steakhouse is capital grille, and this place didn't even get close on any categories. the prices are very similar though.
the food was drenched in dressings, salt and oil. two days later, my mouth is still dry after all that salt. I would never go back."

"Went to The Park Steakhouse for my husbands birthday dinner. We always have a great time where ever we go and very rarely complain about service. Our dinner reservation was for 8:15 on a Saturday night. When we arrived we were at 8:05 we were told it would be seated in a few minutes. We ordered a drink at the very packed bar and waited for a table which seemed like everyone at the bar was doing the same. At 8:40 when we were still waiting for our table I decided to ask the host if he had an idea of how much longer we would have to wait. With no apology he simply said I'm checking on that right now. At 8:45 we were finally taken to our table where we had to wait another 20 min for waitress to take our order.She did apoligize."

"Our meal would have been great but the slow service put a damper on it. We were there close to three hours! The manager had to apologize once about the entrees and the waitress apologized for the wait on the desserts. People around us who ordered the same thing were served much faster and we watched three tables come and go. The chef even came out to socialze with the able behind us and the waitress was hugging the table next to us but we werent feeling any love at our table. The frustration just mounted. The scallops with froi gras was delicious but the tuna tacos lacked flavor. The porterhouse, sides and zepoles were all very good too. For the price you pay, you would expect more."
