Well, here we go, I am going to state my opinion of Beef and Bottle. Who asked you ?? You ask..Me  and if there is any more people out there like me who have been driving by this well know institution on South Blvd for 8 years now. About 5 months ago there was the \"Living Social \" for this very restaurant! I was scared but excited to try this place which looks like an industrial construction building but so many people on Face book had raved about  and said buy  the Living Social  for this treat!\nWe arrived with a reservation tonight, a Tuesday, it was packed! The place is exactly as described in the prior reviews...its a time warp its stuck in the 1960's , not a bad place to be --kind of cross between my Dads old Basement office and a run down previously fancy supper club. \nWe did sit for quite a while before anyone approached our table. Our waitress was friendly and took our drink orders and informed us of the specials this evening. We had 5 people in our party. We ordered a varied amount of the specialty items (steaks) off the menu. The salad , which is served plain is accompanied by a nice tray of fresh vegetable and very good homemade salad dressing. It was a long stretch of time though between our drinks and our salad. Next the steaks arrived..My husband had the 6 oz filet...medium rare, My daughter the Ribeye, rare, my daughters fiance had the Sirloin well done and our other friend had the Shrimp Scampi. I ordered the 30.00 New York Strip, encrusted with Horseradish sauce.-----RARE. Well ,my steak was medium at least..if not to the well done side. I cut it in half right away, to stop the cooking process..it was about 15-20 minutes until the waitress came back around to ask how everything was when I informed her of the doneness of my steak. She took it back and said she would have a new for me. Everyone continued to eat at my insistence..although I didnt think that a RARE steak would take too long. Well 25 minutes later my steak came out...I immediately cut into it --starving and salivating! Medium----AGAIN...The owner came up behind me and said..how is your steak I was told it was to well done the first time...He looked down and said...Uh Oh ..this is not RARE..And he picked it up and said it would be replaced and I would not be charged. Another 20 minutes went by..the steak that came back was okay ..medium rare and small and very very grisily I ate about a third of it and it had to spit out four mouthfuls because I could not chew it. The creamed spinach that I got with it was not good..it was cold when I received it and the flavor was not creamy or good. The steak was taken off my check..but for a place named \"BEEF AND BOTTLE\" I think this was a Faux Pas! I will not be returning and now when I pass this weird little place on South Blvd I will be glad I am not wondering anymore.....
