I love great steakhouses and don't mind splurging for a great steak. AB had everything but: fine service, excellent wine list, great oysters, a wonderful Caesar salad. The t-bones my wife and I ordered, however, were really only OK. I go to a steakhouse, I want a cut of meat that I as a consumer can't get my hands on because all the good steakhouses have snapped them up, NOT something I could buy at the Winn Dixie and grill up at home. Also, what kind of steakhouse doesn't offer a porterhouse steak for two? It's the gold standard of steaks, IMHO--if you're going to claim to be the area's best, you really should offer a porterhouse. I prefer Vinnie's.
