"I had been to Peerless about 5 years ago, and had not been back because the food quality was so mediocre.. When I saw them on Open Table, I decided to give it another try.. Sadly, the food hasn't improved at all. Steak was dry, meatloaf was stale, broccoli was only steamed with no seasoning at all. Service staff was great, but not enough to make want to go back a third time. I voiced my concerns to our server, but the manager never came by to discuss.. I wasn't looking for any concessions, but thought it spoke volumes that the manager never came by to talk.."

"We had not dined at Peerless in too many years but sure glad we chose it to celebrate a college graduation. Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience including the quality of food and service by Stanley. We each ordered a different entree and three of the four thought their food choice was the best they had eaten anywhere. One ordered black and blue steak that was too chewy but the manager came to our table and made it right. All but three bites were untouched but customer was satisfied with server and manager reactions so all left the restaurant as satisfied customers. We will ALL return for another very satisfying experience and more orders of the fabulous flaming cheese! Thank you."

"This resturant was nice inside but, the food was just ok, I had the prime rib it was a bit fatty, and my friend had the filet, it was good, tendor and flavorful. You received one side with dinner and I had the fresh veggies, they were good, and friend had mushrooms. We did have the earlybird, which does make the it worthwhile."

"Overall a good experience. Very nice atmosphere. The wait staff isn't very well trained, but they do try hard and place an emphasis on customer service. The food is pretty good for the price. If you're a desert person, they have unbelievable cakes. The steaks aren't the best I've ever had, but I wasn't disappointed with them either."

"Had a great meal, as always, at Peerless. Food is very very good! Two of us got the restaurant week prix fix menu and two of us got the buy-one-get-one anniversary special. It was all great and we had a great time with our friends. Our waitress was very good and very friendly."

"The waiter was a little slow, and my filet wasn't Ruth's Chris, but neither was the price so we were happy. Very nice, romantic setting that my date and I really enjoyed."

"Outstanding steaks and sides, and not too pricey. Service just a little slow, but understandable due to Valentine's Day crowd. Overall, a great experience, and we'll be going back for certain."
