It's clear that the recent steakhouse frenzy has produced too many mediocre steakhouse wannabees. But it's also produced some of the best. And among them I now count Bertani Ranch Steakhouse. Bertani may specialize in steaks but also offers a variety of fish and pastas on its menus. Sure, they have seafood, and salads, and a phenomenal crawfish etoufee, but you're there for the hunks of cow and the sheer masculinity of it all. Don't delude yourself with any notions otherwise. You can find bliss in this semi-fine dining restaurant located in Cypress, Texas.
The steak has a definite aged flavor, which distinguishes the best from those steakhouses who seem to be playing it safer, perhaps to limit potential spoilage. Like all of the steakhouses, that quality and execution may vary from steak to steak, but several trips here have yielded predictably good results. The standard sides, from asparagus, to garlic smashed potatoes to desserts, are also excellent. They go far beyond the call of duty when it comes to service. The water was filled constantly and none of us at the table ever had to ask for refills. The waiters had a lot of personality and made ordering quite fun. They are continually checking in on you to see of you need anything and are happy to oblige almost any request. They even open the door and greet you as you enter and exit. It just don't get any better than that.
Honestly, dining at Bertani Ranch Steakhouse is an opulent experience. Dishes feature the highest quality ingredients, cooked to perfection and served in generous portions. The ambiance is full of high energy with an undertone of elegance, with dark wood and subdued lighting throughout the dining room.
The wine list is also amazing! I could go on and on about the many wines I've divulged in. This restaurant is a great addition to the suburbs and I recommend it to anyone and everyone who loves a great steak, with family appeal, and superb service.
Pros: service and food
Cons: none that I've found so far...
