We have had the same waiter almost every time. The best way to describe him is the white Morgan freeman of waiters. He gives you the menu and specials like he's described a scene from a nature special. The feel of the restaurant, lighting and decor, mixed with the service makes this a 5 star restaurant. The only criticism I have is if you don't request a booth, sometimes, you may have to sit shoulder to shoulder with another diner. Not the worst thing but my wife and I are more private than not. Make those reservations and request a booth! Ps: I never claimed to be a photographer

A friend gave us a gift card, which is how we found this place, and now we've been twice, both times for dinner. Once we sat in the dining room and once at the bar, and both were amazing in their own way. Ambiance: Upscale without being stuffy. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, and it feels like a special occasion even when you're just there to enjoy dinner. Service: Amazing. The servers were knowledgeable and friendly, and the bartenders were just as warm when we sat at the bar. Both sides of the house made us feel taken care of. Food: Phenomenal. The steak was great, the mashed potatoes were great, and even the vegetables were great. The drinks were great too, and the spirit selection is impressive. If you're debating dining room versus bar, you can't go wrong. Come hungry and bring someone you want to impress.

Sat., 10/31/26. Party of 6. Celebrating one couple's 15th wedding anniversary…read more Outside of their parking situation ... Mike's American/Springfield never disappoints. Pleased to report another noteworthy experience across the board ... bar, server, seating, starters, entrees, dessert (and one of the desserts was even sweeter as it was complimentary for the couple celebrating their anniversary) and our tab! We started at the bar. My Espresso Martini was (a little light but) enjoyable and my friend's beer was complimentary ... already a WIN in my book. The Ozzie rolls, calamari, lobster bisque, spinach-artichoke dip were satisfying. Our entrees were mostly repeats ... 4 people had salmon and the 2 remaining orders were the trout and crab cakes. No complaints from anyone. Brenna (spelling?) was gracious, entertaining and a joy to work with. Another HUGE selling point was how economical Mike's has remained. KUDOS to corporate for that! One minor complaint was regarding the 2 Mojito's that were ordered ... both people said they were a little weak (echoing what I said about my cocktails). Noted, but not a deal breaker. The good most def outweighed the "bad" during this visit. As for the parking, we forgot how much easier it is to park in the CVS lot and just walk across the street. Anyways, looking forward to hearing YOUR opinion. When you go, tell them you saw it on Yelp.

Yes, there are "trendy" restaurants downtown with a larger and rotating, seasonal, or farm-to-table menu. But Olde Towne Steak & Seafood is wonderful. The steak is always cooked to perfection, the shrimp in the Shrimp Cocktail are ENORMOUS, the stuffed mushrooms are (chef's kiss), their cocktails (especially dirty martinis) are wonderful, and their prime rib is as big as an infant's head. The interior could use a bit of an upgrade. I went there for my Senior prom in 1990 and although it is still cozy and inviting -especially fireside-the clean, classic decor could use a bit of a perking up. No minor issues like decor can obscure the wonderful service! A LOT of servers in this area consider waiting tables just a job to be done and gotten over with and customers a nuisance. Whether they truly feel it or not, the staff here present themselves as practicing their vocation. But none of this compares to the warmth and personal attention of Mrs. Hyon Harding, the owner. Mrs. Hyon always greets you like you are a welcome guest - not a dollar sign. She takes the time during each visit to personally visit each table to make sure everything is to your satisfaction and you are happy. And it is not just some token "drive by." You can tell she really does care and wants you to have a good experience. All of this beats truffle fries and Mac and cheese, rosemary mashed potatoes, and "locally foraged mushrooms" in my book and always will.

We have celebrated our anniversary here for several years, it has always been a favorite of my…read morewife. Went on a Sunday night and there maybe 5 other tables occupied, each had over 5 patrons and we had a table near the main fireplace. The atmosphere was as expected no change over the years. Room temperature was great, a bit cool for my wife but that is normal. Our sever (Callie was exceptional and very responsive to our requests) came to the table promptly and took our drink order. Water and tea, no alcohol. Delivered quickly. We also got bread, not warm and very unimpressive. Orders were placed we recovered our salads with dressing on them and I had requested it on the side, not a big issue butt the meal proceeds to go down hill rapidly from there. My salad tasted like it had been sitting out for a while (wet wilted and soggy) and the only flavor it had was the fresh cracked pepper. I honestly expected more from the salad then iceberg lettuce, 2cherry tomatoes and a couple of cucumber slices. Blue cheese dressing was only identifiable because it was what I requested. Prime rib was over cooked but the portion was as ordered. Bake potato was dry and very overdone, 3 servings of sour cream to make it editable. My wife's seafood was equally tasteless, the lobster was great but the scallops tasted funny". Had more bread during the meal cold and tasteless. The best part of the meal by far wast he dessert, chocolate cake with whipped cream and strawberries, plated beautifully. Overall a 2.0 for the meal quality was mediocre at best, desert and service would rate a 4.5 (Callie was a 5.0 as a server). And the owner manager did not come by our table but did visit all the other tables. On the way out she said how was your meal I said very underwhelming and she just glared at me. I didn't complain to keep our 36th wedding anniversary fun, but after getting in the car and driving off my wife stated that wasn't worth it we will find a new anniversary place. In my opinion we could have eaten at a big box steakhouse (T/R) 5 times and higher quality for the ($150) price.

Wonderful restaurant and pretty great experience. My husband took us for a belated Valentine's Day…read more He could only get a 7pm appointment but we thought we'd go a bit early and get a couple drinks. However, when we showed up, the host appeared quite agitated that we were early and said there was no room to wait and seats at the upstairs bar to partake in a couple of drinks. There was a bar downstairs they advertise as a Speakeasy but at first, they were not going to let us go down b/c they said there was no room. Yet, we saw another couple show up early and they went down. So, we helped ourselves down and I am glad we did. The bartender downstairs was fabulous! She was very professional and personable and she fixed some mean drinks! Much better than the ones we got upstairs with our dinner. I would absolutely go back even just for drinks in the Speakeasy. There is in fact not a lot of room, but enough for about 8-10 people at the bar. And then there were some tables as well. It is a very quaint place which is why they say reservations recommended. And the building looks like an old general store. Inside there were about 10-12 tables upstairs. It was really neat. Ambiance inside was rustic and cozy. The service was okay. The food was excellent! I had the mushroom soup which was heavenly- one of the best I've had. My husband got the lobster bisque. It was not sherry forward enough for me, but it was decent. We then had the waygu beef flank appetizer. It was good, but I didn't read it close enough- it said chèvre; that's goat cheese; I'm not a fan at all of goat cheese. But, I did have a few bites and aside from the chèvre, it was good. For the main course, we both had the surf and turf and it was fabulous! Beautiful presentation. It didn't look like much, but it felt like we just ate enough for three each. For dessert I had a peanut butter pie - it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. But, I wouldn't order it again. He got a creme de fraise in a pastry shell; it was very nice. I would order it.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. The drinks were some of the best we've had, our steaks were cooked to perfection (we got the Wagyu and filet mignon) and the steak sauces were absolutely delicious. Each meal comes with salad and bread and we were licking the plates clean. For sides we had potatoes and brussel sprouts and these were the largest I've ever seen covered with apples and a delicious sauce and I've never tasted anything greater in my life. My husband and I sat at the table so filled with joy for what we were eating that we were LAUGHING. It was like our whole lives we've lived in a drought and someone handed us a coconut water. Our server Julie was so great, knew the menu, made suggestions and came to check on us often. She even gave us a free little drink to toast with for our anniversary. She was top notch. Now, don't get me started on the desserts. Crème brûlée and chocolate mouse were incredibly balanced, not too sweet and absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and the perfect balance of fancy but not stuck up. I can't wait to come back. Thank you Black Cow for the amazing anniversary experience and the best food we have had in a very long time.

The service was excellent throughout the meal. Our server, was absolutely lovely. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. She was one of the highlights of the experience. We started with the steak tartare. It was decent, but a little saltier than I would have preferred. My biggest complaint was that the accompanying bread wasn't brushed with butter or olive oil, which made it feel a bit dry and out of place alongside such a rich dish. One thing that was disappointing was the portioning of the shareable sides. The menu describes them as serving 3 to 4 people, but in our experience they were much more realistically sized for about two people. That was frustrating, especially given the overall price point. For our entrees, we ordered the ribeye, bavette, and New York strip. All of the steaks were cooked well, but I found them to be good rather than great, especially considering the price point. They just weren't particularly memorable. The ribeye, in particular, leaned a bit too far toward fatty rather than beautifully marbled, so there was more unrendered fat than I would have liked. The steak sauces were enjoyable, but they also didn't stand out in any significant way. They were well made, but nothing especially unique or memorable. Overall, I enjoyed the evening, the atmosphere, and the exceptional service. However, for a steakhouse at this price point, I expected to be more impressed by the food. Everything was solid, but nothing really wowed me or left me thinking, "I can't wait to come back." It is disappointing to have buyers remorse from such a nice restaurant.

We were seated promptly, no awkward hovering, and our waitress showed up friendly, sharp, and knowing her way around the menu--which is a quality that ought to be listed right next to "clean silverware." We started with the crab and corn chowder, and let me say this right now: the crab was not there for decoration. It announced itself. Big flavor, no apologies, the way crab chowder ought to be. Second round was the smoked salmon salad. Perfect. The salmon was excellent, but that tarragon caper dressing had a way of making you slow down and think about life choices. I would put that dressing on just about anything that didn't move fast enough. For the main event, I chose the scallops, and I am prepared to testify they were as good as any I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, sitting pretty with an aioli that knew its job and did it well. My wife ordered the beef medallions, and I'll admit this with humility: looking back, I may have chosen wrong. Those medallions were expertly prepared and packed with flavor, the kind that makes you reconsider your own plate. We finished with cheesecake and berries. The cheesecake did its part. The berries... well, not every inning is a home run. Fortunately, the wine stepped in like a good relief pitcher and made everything right again. Through it all, the service never slipped. We were treated the way folks ought to be treated when they go out to celebrate something that matters. And that, in my book, counts just as much as what's on the plate. Sorry for the lack of pictures the food and wine kept my attention
