In Short – T-Bar situates itself as a less-macho, more-stylized player in the steakhouse game. Though some of the interior details could come from the West Elm school of interiors, other artistic touches, like the sweetly muted dandelion mural on the back wall, make for a handsome room. The crowd reflects the neighborhood: older couples, young professionals on third dates, and groups of businessmen unwinding with Scotch. As for the steak, although the namesake T-bone comes with a beautiful crust, the mealy texture and wan flavor of the beef may disappoint. A surer bet is the 2-inch-thick…
Excellent Food, Service, & Atmosphere
by laraabe at Citysearch
Took my husband to T Bar for his 31st birthday. He was looking for a good steak and I chose the place by the menu. Being a vegetarian, it's hard to find a steakhouse to eat at, and T Bar gave me options to chose from as well as my husband plenty of steak options. The food was amazing, from the bread basket, to the beet and goat cheese salad, to the vegetarian risotto. My husband had the iceberg salad that was humongous, the 8 oz filet, and baked potato trimmed out with bacon bits, sour cream and chives. He ate each last drop.
The surprise of the night came when they brought my husband a huge brownie sundae with a candle in it. The surprise was I only told them it was a birthday when I made the reservations 2 days prior! The attention to detail was great.
Oh, the bottle of wine we had, a Pinot Noir, was pure perfection!
- Pros: Great attention to detail
- Cons: loud
Good for groups

I was there for drinks and Menager made us stay for dinner. Very happy we did. Food was more then we expected as we where ashored. Large portions and amaizing taste. Service was great. Big group like ours hard to please but the waitres had no problem with the change we made thru dinner. Desserts where out of this world. Interesting croud.
- Pros: Nice energy
AMAZING PLACE FOR EATING
by monologue1man1Eugene at Citysearch
With great interior design, and fabulous furnishing, T-bar is an automatic attention grabber. In addition to it being constantly filled with a hip crowd, and having an amazing look to it, the food is the best yet. High quality meats cooked to perfection are brought out to you still sizzling from the kitchen and are the taste makes your taste buds go crazy. Even from the first cut as your knife pulls through the tender meat as if its butter you can tell this steak house is different. I highly recommend it and its the best food i have ever tasted.
- Pros: BEST MEAT AND FISH EVER!!
- Cons: NONE!
The Details on T-Bar Steak & Lounge
Save Money:
The best desserts--strawberry or chocolate sundaes and a caramelized banana parfait--are obscenely huge and could easily satisfy a table of four.
What to Drink:
As with any good steakhouse, a martini is always a sure bet. The Sake-Tini ($13) lightens things up as a digestif. A warm, full "Est 75" glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, from Amber Knolls ($12), is an excellent accompaniment to the rich foods.
Where to Sit:
Mostly bare surfaces and glass, the main room can be loud; for a quieter, more subdued dining experience, request a table on the mezzanine level, where the carpeting and tablecloths make for a more sophisticated, adult retreat.
Lunch Spot:
A $25 prix fixe Lunch Box is a great bargain--start with a salad or soup, move on to salmon, pasta or a beef or turkey burger, plus a choice of side and dessert.
Know Before You Go:
Patrons can order off the lounge menu (burgers, appetizers, salads) until 12am.
