Went to Sullivan's last night for a celebratory dinner. $6 validated valet parking. When you first walk in, there's a lounge/bar area to the left--pretty big and has live jazz music. They also have some outside seating if you'd like to look out over Pratt Street. The decor is what I was expecting--updated, jazz-type, steak house. The food was excellent, but I have to agree with the other review, some items were a little over-salted. They do have a couple menu for $69. You get an appy, dinner, two sides, and a dessert. We didn't go that route since we aren't that "into" dessert. We both had steaks, which were excellent and cooked perfectly. We added the gorgonzola sauce just so we could pile on more calories to this 2000+ calorie dinner. The blue cheese salad wedge that comes with all entrees was good, but again, pretty predictable. We had tuna as our appy, which was pretty good, but if you don't like mustard, you'll find the sauce to be completely overbearing. We don't usually get dessert, but ended up splitting a piece of key lime pie, which was excellent. Probably not made in house, but still good. Excellent wine list (even has magnum-sized bottles); however, there are no beers on tap. The service was excellent. It was pretty slow being a Monday night, so on a busy weekend, I'm not sure if the attention to service would be the same. Overall, we had a great time and we'll probably be back!

Service was top-notch and very professional; portions were very generous, the dishes were excellently executed steakhouse classics. Starting with a rich french onion soup, followed by a moist and juicy blue cheese meatloaf with horseradish mashed potatoes and finishing with a soufflé-like chocolate cake, all dishes were cooked perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back first chance I get.

Upon arriving at Sullivan's for their grand opening on February 9th, I was pleasantly surprised to find the place full of people, nicely decorated with a stylish vintage appeal, and seemingly overstaffed by about 30 people or so. To say that the service was adequate is a slight understatement; if anything, it was a little overbearing at times. A bombardment of waiters, busboys and managers attending to us so frequently that we didn't have very much time for conversation at times. I fully understand that this was the grand opening and they wanted to make as positive an impression as possible, but at times I took literally one sip of water before someone came along and refilled the glass. Every waiter is trained to throw a sales pitch at you with regard to how amazingly wonderful the food is, which in my opinion shouldn't be necessary if a restaurant's reputation - especially a 'high end' chain like Sullivan's - precedes itself. Regardless, while slightly overwrought the service was immensely friendly and helpful.

As for the food, the standard Filet Mignon was cooked well. But, as with so many other chain restaurants, was incredibly salty. Several of the other people I was with agreed with regard to their respective steaks. At $28.00 and up, one should never be adding so much salt to a decent piece of meat, even when rolled in an herb crust. Pleasantly, the other side dishes such as creamed spinach and mashed potatoes were very tasty (although the crab fried rice was also very salty). The desserts were huge and well prepared, and very fairly priced.

I consider the overall experience to be a balancing act between very decent if not somewhat overbearing service (in the form of sales pitches) and fairly good food - provided the saltiness of the steak could be reduced.

I look forward to trying out their Thursday jazz nights and specials.
