Going early always gives us a better experience. Wait staff were friendly and un-harried, drinks were perfectly made, and the food was presented very attractively and tasted great. Can definitely recommend the trout as a marvelous choice. Had the shrimp cocktail and was a bit disappointed that the shrimp were overcooked and rubbery as well as only 4 pieces for $30. But overall a great evening and fine restaurant with a warm ambiance.

We made reservations here for our anniversary for sunday around dinner time. They have complimentary valet and self parking options. Parking was not an issue at all. When we arrived we were greeted quickly and said that our table will be ready soon. We probably waiting around 5 mins. This place is very romantic and had very good ambiance. The dining area didnt reek of steak and smoke which I really appreciated. We came on sunday for their $89 prime rib sunday deal and it was quite a delight. They decorated our table with rose petals which was a very nice touch for our anniversary. The prime rib deal consists of a soup or salad starter, choice of meat, sides, and a desert. This was a really good deal. The lobster bisque was elevated with a half claw of lobster meat in the bisque. It paired well with the bread. The sides were good. Broccoli is steamed and came with a lemon. The mashed potatoes had a very strong garlic flavor and was very delicious. The steak was phenomenal. The plate that it comes on is VERY hot and kept the steak warm the whole time I was eating. This was a super nice touch. Additionally, the steak was cooked perfectly and super tender and soft. It had the consistency of wagyu without the fattines. Definitely a good cut of meat and its big! The steak really didnt need anything aside from salt and pepper. Our deserts were good, nothing crazy but a good way to end the meal. They also gave us an extra dessert for our anniversary. We got amazing service the whole time we were there. Our server checked on us throughout and many other people checked in on us as well. My water was never empty. Our courses came out in a reasonable amount of time and we never felt rushed. This is definitely the place to splurge on for a special occasion. I will definitely come back!

Hands down the best steak. Well seasoned. Not too salty, not bland. Always cooked perfect. Get the lobster bisque. Absolutely to die for. Service has always been top notch. Did not miss a beat and definitely was great at reading the table. Highly recommend and will be coming back for as long as they're open.

Michael completely spoiled us. From to wine selection to the house favorites he navigated us through a great experience.

Sat at the bar got their Sunday special for 89, prime rib, broccoli, added lobster tail. Service was awesome! Food was excellent. Watching the Eagles !

We had such a wonderful time at Shanahan's Steakhouse! I love to explore different places but can't beat the fact that you always know what to expect at Shanahans. Even when it comes to little details, such as valet parking, coat check, kind recommendations and deep knowledge of every single item on the food menu and wine list. We got escargot and crab cakes as appetizers, and they were wonderful! My Caesar salad was so filling and absolutely delicious. Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked and one the best ones I've had in a while. You would expect for all the steaks/meat to be delicious but their seafood is really good as well. I thought the prices were reasonable for what you get. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend it for a special event!

We went there on a Sunday because they have a prime rib special. It was delicious! I see why people rave about this place. However, I probably couldn't afford to eat here just on a typical day tbh. Delicious nonetheless Great service. People were friendly and the food came out quickly. I kinda over ate on the bread tbh which probably was a rookie mistake. I don't regret it though. Food-good, restaurant-clean, service-nice. Recommend to try this sometime for a fancy steak dinner with your date.

Came with my family to celebrate my aunt's 50th birthday! We were greeted with very nice service starting from the valet to when we were seated. The ambiance was very modern, dim lighting vibes. Daniel was a great waiter and very patient with my family as we were getting situated and figuring out our order. We ordered a variety of items: Apps: Escargot (kind of salty for us, but the bread was great) Octopus Main Entrees: Wagyu Tomahawk Wagyy Strip Porterhouse Chilean Sea Bass (all loved this dish) Collosal crab cake and prawns (everything was delicious including the sauce) Ahi Tuna Sashimi Sides: Garlic Mashed Potatoes Creamed Corn Brussel Sprouts Mac n cheese (truffle & the lobster one) Loaded baked potato The steaks were all delicious and cooked to what we each ordered perfectly. Overall we all walked away very stuffed and my family enjoyed the experience.

I have always wanted to visit this establishment passing by on my way on I25. Well after all these years I did it. And on my 60th birthday and what a treat it was for myself. The staff was courteous ensuring you had enough water and drinks. Ensured your food was to your liking etc.... I also was impressed with the precision of the staff as when one table left they cleared the table and made it ready in no time. Like clockwork. The ambiance was very pleasant and upbeat. Great music to dine to. All in all I had a great 60th birthday dinner though it was pricy it was well worth it.
