Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse

Best steak and service in Sarasota!

Quality all around

Bit costly $$$ but one of the best places I have been in. I don't review all places I go to but this is totally 5 star. We had 6 people and we ordered some appetizers and lab chops as main plus other things. Every plate and drink was delicious. But mostly this place worth its money is the stuff (sevrers)! All of them nice and polite even management.

Chris was very kind and attentive. Second sever, his partner (older and bald) is the reason we will not be back. First steak was burnt, he asked if I ordered it that way. Then he stated that we didn't understand how making a steak worked, and that in order for it to be medium well, it had to be cooked on a high heat thus resulting in a charred edge. The second steak was still not medium well; It was just well and only lightly burned. I informed him that it wasn't cooked properly and showed it to him. He blamed it on bad lighting and after turning on the phone light, I cut it 2 more times at his request, trying to find any pink. There was the tiniest spot of red in the tender spot. He claimed happily that that's medium well and went on to say that the pink only shows up in the tender part of the steak. I showed him my mother's steak, which was also medium well and properly done. He cut us off, saying that she must be cutting it incorrectly. After still going back and forth a bit, I asked "So if you're saying that my steak, which basically has no pink, is medium well and therefore correct, are you suggesting that my mothers' steak that has visible pink throughout is actually medium and therefore incorrect?". He sighed heavily, threw his hands up and walked away. He never came back, avoided walking by our table and we were thoroughly irritated. For a bill that was almost $300 at a venue like that, I don't expect to be argued at. There's no reason that two steaks ordered for the same table are both so drastically different. I could have gone to Longhorn Steakhouse, paid $20 and gotten a better steak.

Enjoyed dining at Hyde Park Steakhouse Friday, March 15, 2024. Our server, Christine was professional, informative, and friendly provided excellent service. Tomahawk was delicious! Definitely will return again soon

Second terrible experience in a row. - Our waiter was so bad they had to replace him with another waiter. No apology from the manager. - My wife ordered a glass of wine, which she only received after 35 minutes and us asking for it several times. Our new waiter apologized, but no word from the manager. - An hour after we put in our food order the manager walked up to our table and apologized for the ‘delay’ - the chef had burnt our food and it would be out shortly. 20 minutes went by and we still didn’t receive anything. At this point we had spent 1.5 hours at this place, so we cancelled our food and asked for the check. Received no apology from management, a silly apology from our second waiter, and got comped for absolutely nothing. If you’re looking for a nice night out with good (or just acceptable) service, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.
