Kirby Jackson Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Sooo, how much are we talking? I know, plenty of variables...But on average, how much per plate? If I have to ask.... Probably too much for me. Maybe on a really special occasion.If I had to guess I would say that the steaks are in the $40's. For a couple, with a decent bottle of wine, apps, dinner, sides and tip you are probably looking at $250. That seems to be the going rate.
hondo in seattle Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Sooo, how much are we talking? I know, plenty of variables...But on average, how much per plate? If I have to ask.... Probably too much for me. Maybe on a really special occasion. Someone told me she once saw Fred at El Gaucho in Seattle (actually the one in Bellevue). That might be one of the nice steakhouse Fred's referring to. The most expensive steak there is $129. They have other steaks for $50-75 but those don't include sides. Real estate and labor rates are cheaper in Buffalo so the prices for a comparable meal in Buffalo should be less. Overpriced? I'm not convinced. A really good steak tastes like heaven.
Solomon Grundy Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 For the sake of these guys, I hope you're right. I'm in the restaurant business and would worry about opening a high end steakhouse in a smaller, blue collar city that already has one. How many people in Buffalo want to buy $50 to $100 steaks and how often? I do like though that their concept sounds different than Buffalo Chophouse. Before the Chophouse there was EB Green's

Can get out of nice steakhouses in VA for 160.00 w manhattans > wine.
WotAGuy Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I wonder if this new steakhouse will be as "high end" as Sestak - Maguire's was?
Captain_Quint Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Can get out of nice steakhouses in VA for 160.00 w manhattans > wine. I dont think getting wasted at a Golden Coral counts as a nice steakhouse.
Augie Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I wonder if this new steakhouse will be as "high end" as Sestak - Maguire's was? I remember my father taking me there! Right after the invention of the cow, I believe.
boyst Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Where does your inventory go to?farm to table. Directly to customers. I refuse to sell to middlemen. They mess up the process and take away from the authenticity of grass fed natural beef
Augie Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 The apps and sides at nice places will cost you (I'm not a big dessert guy), but the wine can do serious damage!
DallasMac Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Stayed at the Embassy there late April and one of the employees told us about the restaurant. I was happy to hear Fred and Moorman were involved but surprised about McGee. Should be a nice place.
stony Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I don't know, they have a pretty strong group. The restaurateur has a following and they have the right people involved. This isn't a kitchen being run by someone's cousin. The have the guy from Oliver's involved. Thank you. They're the fronts for a professionally ran establishment. Sure they're tossing cash in, but cousin Billy won't be driving up a tab at the bar. Stayed at the Embassy there late April and one of the employees told us about the restaurant. I was happy to hear Fred and Moorman were involved but surprised about McGee. Should be a nice place. Was there last week and saw the signage/construction going on. High hopes here, great hotel.
GG Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 farm to table. Directly to customers. I refuse to sell to middlemen. They mess up the process and take away from the authenticity of grass fed natural beef So the cows can still end up at a steakhouse?
DallasMac Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 My wife and I were very impressed with it. Was there last week and saw the signage/construction going on. High hopes here, great hotel.

You guys do know Rob Ryan is on the coaching staff now, right?
boyst Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 So the cows can still end up at a steakhouse?I mean, it's possible. The customer would have to take it to a steakhouse but it's unlikely
Augie Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I mean, it's possible. The customer would have to take it to a steakhouse but it's unlikely I've taken my own freshly caught fish to be prepared in a restaurant, but I've never taken my own cow. That sounds like a lot of leftovers. Except maybe for the Ryan brothers....
Kirby Jackson Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Kirby drinks the Barolos ? Baller ! Can get out of nice steakhouses in VA for 160.00 w manhattans > wine. I am using my New Orleans comps. My fiancé and I did it last week at one of the top couple of steakhouses here and that's what it was. It usually translates price wise to Buffalo. It's about $125 a head (including tip).
BuffaloBill Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I know Buffalo already has the Buffalo Chophouse. Does it really need another high end steakhouse? .[/size][/font][/color][/b] Simple answer is - No. I am biased because I personally find high end steakhouses to be boring. They are all pretty much the same tired cookie cutter concept and menu. Who cares?
