We’ve been to Steelbsch a few times and although we had a great night, it was not our best experience there. It seems they were struggling with bar staff shortage as our drinks took a very long to come. We ordered the tomahawk, which we had last visit and was surprised that it had shrunk! And was also presented in a bowl instead of the board. So we ordered another ribeye that came out fantastically cooked, larger than the previous steak and half the price. Rob our server was great. We’ll be back just next time we’ll skip the tomahawk!
