At a steakhouse, you expect a relaxing experience given the hefty price tag. Spending $100 or more on a meal shouldn’t induce stress, but choices matter. Selections can draw judgment from servers, fellow diners, and even yourself. Just because it’s on the menu doesn’t guarantee it’s the best choice.
Opting for a well-done steak or a burger can raise eyebrows. Steak sauce and the daily special are also questionable picks. Going off-menu is generally frowned upon. It’s about choosing wisely within the curated options available.
Missteps extend beyond meat choices. Ordering fish, chicken, or the wrong wine deviates from the steakhouse experience. Condiments like ketchup and decadent choices like gold leaf can also detract. Making thoughtful selections can enhance your dining experience, avoiding unnecessary faux pas.
