we went here on a saturday night in early november - not our first time here, and certainly a restaurant that we wanted to eat at again...and again...and again.
pulling into the valet parking area, you notice all the high end cars in the lot. you know that this is someplace special. the same feeling is had when walking into the restaurant, what you might expect at a high end steakhouse. service was outstanding, no mistakes were made, great recommendations, drinks were kept full...again what you might expect.
where al biernat's really stands out from other steakhouses is...the steak! we had filet mignon and prime rib as our main dishes, with a side of onion rings and steak soup. the filet mignon could be cut with a fork (really!) it was so tender. no gristle, no fat, pink in the middle, great flavor. i can say it was the best filet i have ever had. the prime rib was absolutely massive, the size of a third graders back pack! a flawless prime rib that can also be classified as "best ever had". the steak soup is a must-try...too bad it wasn't bottomless. the onion rings were ok, we might try something different next time.
this is certainly a top steakhouse in the dfw area and our personal favorite up to this point. other steakhouses may have a better ambiance, but this features the food like no other. delicious!
