    If you have an interest for the best steak you will ever have… a visit to Hyde Park Steakhouse is a must. Upon entering, you will feel that this gem is a throwback to how a “Steakhouse “ used to be. Beautifully appointed with dark wood, white tablecloths and a waitstaff that just enhances the experience. Liz did a phenomenal job making us free like a valued customer with her charm, professionalism and attentiveness. My wife had the Wagyu filet ( came with its own certification of authenticity) - nice touch… it was so flavorful, tender and perfectly prepared. I had the 36 day dry aged bone in ribeye. It was also perfectly seasoned, delicious and impressive. We finished off this memorable evening with their table- side flaming butter cake. So if you want a great steak, beautifully prepared, and served …in a traditional, well appointed restaurant… sending you back to how steakhouses used to be … stop by Hyde Park Steakhouse.
