I recently went to Roth's steak house to get my steak on. I had a pretty good time although I was seated with my guest at a very small table that barely had enough room for both our plates and the bread basket to fit on. I ordered the Sirloin which was thick and cooked medium rare as I ordered it. My girlfriend had the T-bone which was even thicker and also cooked to order. Both steaks were great, the service on the other hand was just so so. We weren't even read the specials or asked if we wanted them, for an appetizer I ordered the shrimp and lobster soup (new england style) which was tasty except there was hardly any lobster or shrimp in it save a few pieces. The soup was a bit salty for my taste but good. It turned out we had a new waitress so i'll give her some slack but when our steaks came they didn't give us any steak knives so we had to ask for them after. I ordered a cappucino after dinner, I wanted an anisette, which the waitress had no idea about, turns out they don't have anisette there. Ok fair enough, when the cappucino came she gave me no sugar so that was two strikes, altogether three strikes for not telling us the specials no steak knives, and also they wouldn't let us sit at this other two seat table because apparently it was reserved for someone that spends more money in the place than we did which was a real turn off. The place got crowded later and the live music turned out to be some old man playing nothing but ragtime music which led me to exclaim, can we change decades sometime soon. I overheard other tables also expressing this and wishing the guy would switch to jazz. If you want to be heard try sitting as far away from the piano as possible because its very loud. I would reccomend the steaks they were excellent and priced fairly, the ambience wasn't much to talk about and the service wasn't great although other waiters we saw and heard with more experience seemed better. Overall good food but I doubt i'll go back.
Pros: Great Steaks not too overpriced
Cons: Loud and not much ambience, music wasn't great.
