Schlesinger's Steakhouse

Service and atmosphere is on point. Slightly disappointed in how chewy/rubbery the filet was. Hoping it was just an off night for the cook. The Ham and Bean soup was amazing. I would recommend that if your offering a food that had a glaze please describe that on the menu. Pan seared scallops with an orange glaze was just disgusting. The vegetables medley was amazing.

Came here with friends for lunch last week and it was my first trip. I ordered the catfish with the mashed sweet potato and broccoli. The mashed sweet potato was delicious, the catfish was pretty good, but a bit overcooked and the broccoli was tasty but a bit undercooked. The rolls were delicious! Our waiter was wonderful! He was extremely attentive, very kind and had a great sense of humor. I would definitely return, but I try something different.

I always try to find something positive to post, but with the prices this high, I expect a larger portion size. With inflation as high as it is, there is no reason to pay this much to eat so little. I don't mind spending this amount but not with the portion size. Additionally, their alcohol is even higher than other upscale restaurants. Recommend studying the menu before taking the plunge.

A nice upscale spot that is worthy of a special occasion but not stuffy!The food is top notch, they have a great wine selection and service feels elevated.Little known secret? Prime rib nights on Tuesday - Thursday. Great price for a three course meal, but it does go quick as each night there is a limited number of piece available. I've also been for an elevated brunch. Pretty nice size spaces so can host larger parties.

We were both craving steaks in the worst way, so after consulting with Yelp we headed over to Schlesinger's Steakhouse for dinner. The entire experience, from the time we arrived to when we departed, was picture perfect and we had an outstanding evening!Tip: The ambiance and decor here is very upscale, with a really nice, sophisticated vibeTo compliment the ambiance and the decor, the food was both delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was efficient, friendly, and very hospitable; she never let our water glasses even approach empty, and she gave us several spot-on food recommendations.On to the food!We started the meal by sharing an order of Calimari, and then we each decided to go with a Porterhouse steak. When our steaks arrived they were nicely cooked, seasoned perfectly, and done to our exact specification (medium-rare). To keep the steaks company we shared a Loaded Baked Potato and some Creamed Spinach. Both sides were delicious, and in a very short time there was nothing left of either the steaks or the sides.While we were both very hungry when we arrived, by the end of the meal we were almost stuffed, but we decided to crown the dining experience by sharing the Creme brûlée dessert; it turned out to be excactly the right note to end things on :-)To sum everything up, the ambiance, the service, and the food were first-rate, and I wouldn't hesitate to either return or recommend this restaurant!

Elevated, "cloth napkins and tablecloth" restaurant. Excellent for a group special occasion, anniversary or birthday celebration, or even lunch. Everything about this place, I love. Service staff, on point. Ambiance, spot on. Food, (seasoned, and) delicious.I patronized during lunch. Glad I did. They have TWELVE lunch items under $15.00. TWELVE!! They've also extended their "Restaurant week" specials through the end of February 2024. I ordered, and enjoyed immensely, the bone in pork chop, accompanied my red mashed potatoes and the chef's vegetables. Iced tea and lemonade mixed to drink. They serve warm bread with honey butter, while waiting for your food. Everything about this meal was exceptional. My waitress, attentive, informed, hospitable. Food, SEASONED!! Not overly, but perfectly. My chip was cooked to order. This is my new favorite restaurant in Newport News. I highly, HIGHLY recommend patronizing.

The food was amazing, and the service was even better; they even called you by your name or last name and put a tag on your table. The waitress went above and beyond and put in the effort of a 5-star restaurant.I'm not a big red meat fan, but my boyfriend is. Let's just say I'm a steak girl now. And the rest of the sides are to die for. It's a classic, classy steakhouse up there with Arnie Mortons and others. PS THE three cheese Mac and cheese - I would get every day and would be my last supper lol.The ambiance is classy, and you get what you pay for - beyond exceptional. I cannot begin to rave about this place more. :)

This update review is specific for our waitress Vivian. She's very good at waiting tables. She knows the menu and is quick to bring drinks and follows up on orders and empty glasses before they're empty. She knows the upcoming special events and gets reservations done for them if you want before we left our table when we asked about it. Really great service. She's on top of her game.

We went to Schlesinger's this week to celebrate my mom's birthday. I called ahead to request a room for a larger party size, and Brad was very nice and helpful. Although there is a minimum spend, I didn't have to pay a deposit, which was nice. We chose one of their pre-fixed menus which had a variety of entrees (beef, chicken, veggie). It was a four course meal. One of my favorite options has always been the Seafood Bisque. It's so creamy with chunks of crab meat. Although my cup was a little salty, I've had it enough to know that it was a one-off. I also chose crab cakes for an entree and they were prefect. My husband's steak (ribeye) was also really delicious. It was cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. We both ended with the Brownie a la mode. 5 STARS! Loved the service, great meal, and perfect room for our celebration. We hope to celebrate here again soon!

Delicious New York strip that seemed to melt under my knife! Pleasant atmosphere and excellent attentive wait staff.
