of course you can, but you'll get a better idea from an unbiased opiniion.

It wasn't just about the venue so much - I was more so trying to research price. Most menus don't offer the prices online, including restaurants like Boston Pizza. Why not get the patron in the door before they realize the price, and are already seated and are too proud to leave, or are just too lazy to do so?!

I am not calling a classy restaurant and asking prices, cause that just doesn't seem classy to me. So I am tapping into personal experiences.

Lastly, I go to the Keg from time to time with my mother. It is where we go when we are too lazy to cook. Everytime we do, the experience and food is nothing more than sub-par at best. Why go to somewhere that I have been time and again, that has let me down?

[Gusto]

for the record, i'm not trying to get you to go to the keg. i don't care. i just thought it was funny that people were saying it's not a steakhouse, i didn't say anything about the quality. :P

Fuck People! All she asked for was some suggestions of places for Steak.

*rolls eyes*

Why not cut the crap and just name off some places without the bullshit? :)

[bebu*funfun]

okay..they specialize in steaks, then why do they have other things in the menu. what is the different between a steakhouse and a restaurant. they call themselves a steakhouse so ppl will look at their high ticketed items first like their steaks. yes they have spent time at their test kitchen on their steaks, but it doesnt mean they have perfected them.. some may like them, so might not. a steakhouse is just a label

[Gusto]

haha, erik, this might be really embarassing for you, but you didn't list one either.

Well considering I'm here in Mississauga, my input isn't really valid if I suggest a location.

Although Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on City Centre Drive by Square One comes highly recommended. www.ruthschris.com

Avana - it's all about delivery and how you say it. Calling and saying "so how much are your steaks?" is stupid. However putting it like this:

"I'm looking to bring down roughly 20 people to your restaurant and have heard really good things about it. Are you able to accomodate a group of that size? <yes> Okay great... and how do the bills work - as a group with gratuity included or seperate bills for each with the same etc.? <whatever answer here> ... And finally for budget reasons, what is the average price of your steak entrees? Lobster, etc? Great... I'll be in touch soon"

Super easy and put like that, they would be more than happy to answer all of those questions.

You did indeed. But alas, my recollection of Steak joints in the Vancouver area is rather dim as I've not been there in about 9 months now.

Myra rocked the suggestion - and got the joke. I can always rely on you Myra.

ps - the keg is the McDonalds of steakhouses if there was one.

Bogart's Chop House, Mortons, Hy's, Gotham and for Surf and turf.... The Hamilton Street grill, Seawall bar and Grill and Stone Grill are great spots for half cooked cow.

Entree prices range from 10.95 - 50.00.

saying that I eat at the keg more often than any of these spots because I work late and it has a full menu open till 1:00am 7 days a week.

Avana I use this website a lot at my job http://www.diningoutguide.com/

it usually has menu prices listed for most respectable restaurants across the lower mainland.

I was using www.whycook.ca cause well, it is Hirshels site.

And the dining out guide offered two that I had looked at already. :(

The Stone Grill is great suggestion, thank you!

Hy's Mortons or Gotham are your best bests but you're looking at a hefty price tag - at least $50 for a basic meal per person.

Gotham is all a la carte (don't remember Hy's or Mortons) so you're looking at $30+ for just the steak. Any additional fixins like veggies or potatoes and you're going to have to pony up some more cash.

On an off-topic, does anyone know where to get good steak taretare around here?

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

Im so useless because I cant even suggest a place..because I honestly dont think I've eaten in ant resteraunt down town besides the keg..(maybe the cactus club once..)

Good luck!!

Ps - The keg in langley is excellent. I've never had a bad experience there..
