Sullivan's Steakhouse

Sullivan’s Steakhouse in Raleigh is a beautiful and upscale restaurant that delivers a truly memorable dining experience. The atmosphere feels polished and inviting, with a lively yet comfortable vibe. Valet parking made arriving easy and the staff was warm and welcoming from the start. Everything felt well maintained and the bathrooms were clean. I ordered the porter steak with a lobster tail and it was outstanding. The steak was perfectly cooked and the lobster was rich and flavorful. The bread served before the meal was also fresh and delicious. Seating near the bar was a bit chilly during my visit, but when seated closer to the kitchen area it was pleasantly warmer. While Sullivan’s is very expensive, the quality of the food, the attentive service, and the elegant setting make it worth the splurge. It is the kind of place that is perfect for celebrating a special occasion or enjoying an unforgettable night out. I would gladly return for another meal and highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates excellent steak and seafood in a refined environment.

My husband and I enjoyed our 15th anniversary celebration at Sullivan‘s. I had made a reservation online and noted that it was our 15th anniversary. We were very pleasantly surprised when we got to our table and there was a card with rose petals and a rose on it. Our server, Logan, was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable of the menu, genuine, and overall a very kind individual. His recommendations from the menu were also great! At the end of our meal, he brought us a cheesecake on a plate saying happy anniversary. It made our celebration very special!

I absolutely loved our meal and service at Sullivan's Steakhouse! We came for restaurant week and it was amazing. The meal included a starter, entree and dessert per person which was great for the price. Our waitress Shannon was excellent and very attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and our drinks were always full. Can't wait to go back!

Sullivan’s Steakhouse offers an upscale dining experience that delivers both on ambiance and flavor. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, with soft jazz melodies playing in the background, setting the tone for a refined evening. We began with appetizers: the deviled eggs with caviar were a standout—rich, creamy, and elevated with the salty pop of caviar. The tuna was fresh and delicately prepared, offering a light contrast to the decadent eggs. Even the bread and butter impressed, warm and crusty with a high-quality, whipped butter that melted on contact. For our entrees, the deep-fried lobster tails were indulgent and perfectly crisp on the outside while maintaining juicy tenderness within. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The king crab was sweet and generously portioned, making it a satisfying choice for seafood lovers. We paired our meal with several house martinis, which were well-balanced and strong, along with a few glasses of Moscato that added a sweet, refreshing note to the meal. Sullivan’s combines quality food with a smooth, classy vibe, making it ideal for a special night out or a sophisticated dinner with friends. Highly recommended for both steak and seafood lovers. Dress is business casual. There is metered parking or valet. There are several parking lots nearby and you can pay via their apps. They also have private dining rooms. You can reserve a table via their website too.

We went here to celebrate my birthday. The tables are a little snug, but the food was delicious. The food was not to be outdone by the service. Our server Ashley was knowledgeable, kind, and made sure that we were well taken care of giving us helpful tips to ensure we had a delicious meal. We enjoyed the Seafood Tower, the Tomahawk steak, and the French Onion Soup among other things. I would definitely recommend Sullivan's Steakhouse and look forward to going again. If so, we'd definitely request Ashley.

We were celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary. First time customers, too! It was the best dinner experience we’ve ever had. Rose pedals on the table, a long stem rose for me, and a card with Happy Anniversary on the table. Shelley was our waitress for the night and she was awesome! The drinks, the beef wellington, the filet, the ribeye, the brussel sprouts, and desserts were fabulous! We cannot wait to go back! Would’ve given more stars if I could’ve!!

I celebrated my birthday here and our server was fantastic! The food of course was fantastic and the service was out of the world. Everyone that interacted with us was happy- meaning, they didn’t seem stressed. Steven our server was very nice and personable. I enjoyed his company.

This was our first time dining here and it was a very good experience for us. Shannon our waitress was very attentive and wonderful! She helped us through the menu and ordering and we were thankful for that! Great ambience, music and atmosphere! Food came hot and accurate! Most importantly, it was mouthwatering goodness! Definitely coming back for more!

Ricky was amazing! Great service and food! Had the filet, perfectly cooked and all the sides were great.

Food was delicious! Service was top notch! The room was old time classic! We wanted to try restaurant week to test the waters and Sullivan's exceeded expectations. Appetizers were delicious, steaks cooked to perfection and dessert to die for. Could not have asked for better.

I joined with my friend for our 10 year anniversary and we were quite underwhelmed and probably wouldn't recommend this place. We came around 5:15 so it was pretty empty and we were seated right away. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. It's nice and cozy. We mentioned it was our anniversary so the table was beautifully decorated and had fresh rose petals. The service was pretty good as well and we were well taken care of The food however, was very disappointing. It just lacked a lot of flavor. The steak was the star of the show, but we're relieved since it is a steakhouse. The mashed potatoes were bland, the spicy shrimp egg roll was nothing impressive, the shrimp and lobster soup was terrible and barely had any seafood and the seafood that was in there was pretty overcooked, we also ordered the crab fried rice and the rice was completely soft and mushy. Everything besides the steak sort of just tasted like it was preheated and warmed up. The Keylime pie was one of the worst. My friend said he has taste. This restaurant appeal to an older crowd like 65+ I would definitely say save your money and head to capital Grille.

I've now visited Sullivan's twice this year, and unfortunately, both experiences were disappointing. During my most recent visit, I asked multiple times for my food to be served very hot. Instead, it arrived lukewarm -- again -- just like my first visit five months ago. Rather than bringing a fresh, properly heated plate, the manager offered to reheat it. At a restaurant of this caliber, I didn't expect to have my meal reheated and returned, especially after repeating my request several times before it even arrived. Service was slow, our water glasses were never refilled, and the biggest issue came with the bill: a 20% gratuity was automatically added for a party of six. When we questioned it, both the server and manager insisted it was policy for any reservation initially made for seven or more -- even if fewer people show up. One person in our group canceled the day before, and although this was communicated during the confirmation call, no one mentioned that we'd still be charged gratuity based on the original reservation. This contradicts the language on Sullivan's website, which states: "A service charge of 20% will be added to groups of 7 and larger." It says nothing about being charged based on your initial/original reservation count, regardless of actual attendance. When I raised these concerns, the manager's response was dismissive and unprofessional. He responded dismissively, saying he'd have to "go to the office and dig it out" if I really wanted to wait -- which felt unprofessional, especially after a long wait due to already slow service. For a meal that cost me $70 (one appetizer, one cocktail, and a side), the quality and service simply didn't justify the price. I've contacted management directly with hopes this feedback leads to better communication, service, and clarity around policies. Until then, I can't recommend dining here.

Came here for happy hour, they do have live music, just a great steakhouse atmosphere very classy and the happy hour Menu is amazing. Great selection of food, but no drinks.

I came here with my friend becuase she always raved about this place. We decided to come for lunch because I was flying into Raleigh at lunch time. This worked out really well. There are plenty of parking options nearby. They have a lunch menu you can choose from or dinner if you like. I opted for lunch, for the smaller portions. I got the 6oz filet mignon and they let me sub the potatoes for asparagus since I'm currently doing a low carb diet. I also got a mixed green salad and the seared ahi appetizer. Everything was outstanding. They did have bread service, but I didn't try it so I am not sure how it is. Service was outstanding. We constantly had drinks and our food came out in a timely manner. I ended my meal with a cappuccino. The bathroom was interesting. They had mouthwash and tiny cups for people to use. I thought that was neat. No one wants meat breath. I would definitely come back!

Costco's gift cards took me to this place. 1. Beef Wellington Bites - the beef was well seasoned and the puff pastry was ok; could be lighter and more puffy. 2. Caviar Deviled Eggs - the deviled eggs were ok, the caviar was more of a decoration and the taste profile was lacking. 3. Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass Hong Kong Style - the sea bass was seasoned well and the sherry soy glaze definitely kicked it up a notch. The baby bok choy was a bit depressing due to how they cooked it. The presence was dead instead of bright and full of life. 4. George's Banks Seared Sea Scallops - This was not my first time to have George's Banks sea scallops. They seemed to be on the smaller size. But they were cooked right and full of flavor. The zesty lemon cream and the basil oil didn't really enhance the overall umai-ness. 5. Asparagus Risotto - The risotto was delicious itself and the acidity from the wine gave the risotto that unique characteristic. However, the asparagus didn't really speak at all. A few bits of asparagus were buried into the risotto. I would just call it risotto and not to bring up the asparagus name at all. 6. Lobster Three Cheese Mac - The cheesy richness complimented the lobster well and the overall taste profile was well balanced.

I arrived with my date around 8:55pm on a Friday evening. We had 8:45 reservation. We were a little late as I forgot my wallet in my car and had to use a Lyft. A couple hours before arriving, I called to ask if they had a private lot for parking because I didn't want to struggle to find a parking spot. I was told no, which was fine. However, when I got there, they had valet services... I was very confused as to why didn't that say that when I called about the parking lot... I would've utilized that service as I wanted to make a few stops after dinner. Check in was a little hectic. The host(s) seemed busy and someone disorganized and uncoordinated. After a few minutes of waiting, we were sat and our waitress was Shelly. She was friendly and came over promptly. At 9:07pm, we ordered drinks and apps. We got the calamari and the pork belly. I ordered a cocktail and my date got a glass of wine. I really wanted the angry shrimp as I had viewed the menu prior to coming. I was told by Shelly that they no longer serve that item due to complaints. I was told they only served it for a week when it was put on the menu. We placed food order at 9:17pm after complimentary bread was brought to the table. I got the Sure Thing w/ 16oz ribeye and mashed potatoes. I chose the bananas foster bread pudding for the dessert. My date ordered the cowboy cut ribeye with asparagus. The drinks came at 9:24pm, which was 15 minutes after ordering. We both enjoyed them. The pork belly came at 9:26pm. Our waitress said calamari look overcooked and sent it back. We received it a few minutes later at 9:29pm. In my personal opinion, there was a lot going on with the calamari. There were seeds, peppers, jalapeños, etc. We had to dig through that to get to the calamari. While I did enjoyed the peppers, it was a bit overwhelming. The pork belly was great. No complaints. Entrees arrived at 10:17pm, a whole hour after ordering. The food wasn't hot either; it was warm. That was unexpected considering how long it took. Also, the my steak seemed more like a medium rare/rare than a medium. My date's steak was definitely medium rare/rare in places when it should've been medium throughout. With how long it took to get the meal, we just kept it and ate it as we were waiting for the entrees. Personally, my steak wasn't seasoned enough for my liking. My date said that the garlic butter he got on the side really made his steak enjoyable. Without it, it may have been a different story. Waitress, Shelly, was attentive at first but it attentiveness diminished throughout the visit. I didn't like how we didn't get an update for majority of the time we were waiting for our entree to come after we received the appetizers. We also waited a while for her to return after we were done eating. At 10:40pm, my date ordered NY cheesecake to go. I got the bananas foster pudding as my dessert course. I received my desert around 5-7 minutes later. I the main portion of it was soft and delicious. I want a fan of the caramel sauce on top as it was hardened. It would've been better if it was actually a sauce. My date at the cheesecake later on and they enjoyed it. For this to be an upscale steakhouse, the experience was not up to par. The tables were SO close to together that we could clearly hear conversations of people around us. I repeatedly saw staff standing by the private room doors on their phones and conversing. The only other upscale steakhouse I've been to in the area was Perry's and it was more superior than here. I would recommend Perry's over Sullivan's any day! My experience at Perry's was PERFECT! There, I received the best steak I've ever tasted. Sullivan's website says "A steakhouse experience should be unforgettable. That's why Sullivan's is rooted in the rich tradition of classic steakhouses, but with a lively twist that turns every meal into a night to remember." This experience was unforgettable, but not in a positive way...

Really great food and great service here. The steaks were all cooked perfectly and were well seasoned, and the crab fried rice was delicious. The bar area was lively and spacious, and had live music playing on a Friday evening. The wine list was good and all prices were reasonable for traditional steakhouse prices. I'd definitely go back the next time I'm visiting the Raleigh area.

We had a really fantastic experience at Sullivan's Steakhouse. We visited on a busy Saturday night and sat in the bar area. Everything was delicious from start to finish. We enjoyed some beautifully crafted cocktails: a French 75 and a pomegranate cosmopolitan. I went with the beef Wellington bites and a market fresh salad. My hubs chose the steakhouse salad. Everything was perfect. The beef Wellington bites were delectable and bursting with flavor. The salad was fresh with delicious cheese. The steak in the steakhouse salad was cooked to perfection with so much flavor. We will love to visit again and maybe try some dessert!

Great food, decent price, and outstanding service. Adam was our waiter and he did amazing service as we celebrated my daughter's Birthday and my wife and I's 20th wedding anniversary. We had a great experience and highly recommends this restaurant to everyone.

**1 Star** **Occasion:** First Wedding Anniversary My husband and I chose Sullivan's to celebrate our first anniversary -- a place I had visited and enjoyed several times before. Sadly, this visit was the worst dining experience I've ever had, and completely ruined what should've been a special night. We were seated in the back of the restaurant, which would've been fine if not for the chaos coming from the kitchen. Staff were loudly yelling, swearing, and even throwing items -- we could clearly hear someone shouting that they "didn't need this job." Not the ambiance you expect at a steakhouse with premium pricing. Service was painfully slow. It took 45 minutes to get our salad (after being told the soup I wanted was no longer available), and another 15 minutes just for bread. We waited an hour and a half before our entrées arrived, and both steaks were completely overcooked -- well-done when we ordered rare. I had asked for mine Oscar-style and instead got cold crab, lukewarm asparagus, and what tasted like hot, rancid cheese. We asked for a manager, who arrived visibly disheveled. I don't say that to nitpick -- but again, when you're charging top dollar, the presentation and professionalism matter. She told us, "Sunday is the worst day to come," which left us wondering: if that's the case, why even open? She did offer to replace the steaks, but my husband's second one looked like it had been sitting for half an hour and was charred beyond recognition. To top it off, no silverware was brought to the table. Someone finally dropped off a set -- but gave it to me, without a knife. At that point, we'd been there over two hours and still hadn't had a proper meal. I asked to leave. This location may not miss our business, but I'll be advising everyone I know to stay far away. Special occasions deserve better -- and so does basic customer service.

Had such a great dinner here last night with my mom. Our server Lilly was absolutely wonderful! We both ordered off the triangle restaurant week prix fix menu for $49. My mom had the shrimp and lobster bisque with the filet mignon and banana foster bread pudding. I had the wedge salad, the filet mignon, and the key lime pie. The wedge salad was delicious and fresh and I'd order that again on every visit. The filet was cooked perfectly medium rare and was such a flavorful and tender piece of meat. The garlic mashed potatoes were ok, not really warm on the plate but the side of creamed spinach I ordered more than made up for it! The key lime pie was divine, the crunchy crust and custardy lime! We will definitely be back for another visit soon.

Yummy and Delicious food! Excellent atmosphere. Great services provided there. Clean restroom. We love it.

Failed restaurant week I think of restaurant week as an opportunity to try someplace you haven't tried before. Normally a fine dinning spot to see if it's worth it to return. We normally frequent Perry Stake House but were impressed with the Sullivans restaurant week specials so we decided to make a reservation and go! From the beginning to the end. Valet parking is NOT free. You have to validate it at the restaurant for a fee of $6. If you don't validate it costs $20. We had a reservation for 7 but they had plenty of space so sat us when we arrived at 6:40. Lighting is dim with a very homey vibe. White table clothes your typical fine dining atmosphere. Our waitress came over and asked us for drinks. My fiancé got their Sullivans Cab and I did a mocktail. His wine came out along with our waters. We ordered a salad and soup. *I thought it was odd our waitress left the empty wine glass in my setting even though I didn't order wine. Normally that should have been removed from the table setting. About 20 mins go by and finally our apps come. Still no mocktail so our waitress goes to check. Soup was a tad warm. Would have liked it much hotter. The salad wasn't anything to write home about. Very basic wedge. Finally the mocktail came. Along with our main items. The time between when the apps came and the main dish was only 5 minutes. *the waitress either didn't pick up our apps in time or should have had the kitchen hold the main dish. Instead she sits it down to crowd the very small table. *both our waters were almost empty. We had ribeye and chicken dishes that were good. Not once were we checked on throughout this. Our waters were now empty. *at least another 15 minutes goes by before she comes back to ask about desert. At that time we are over it as we would have had another round of drinks/mocktails but no one ever came to check. Still no check after we asked. Finally after we asked a second time we get it. Did we just eat at a fine dinning restaurant? It did not feel like it.

Great space and location. But not like the old days. Service was so so. The ribeye and the strip were good- but not at those prices. Too many other high end fine dining options in Raleigh to go here. And I would add what others have mentioned- shorts and hats are not my idea of a nice dinner. More like food after golf in a cc bar.

Business Lunch not an option Five of us, no one ordered anything complicated. We received our entrees an hour and ten minutes after sitting down. Had to wolf them down to run back to work Their dinner steaks are heavily seasoned. The lunch steak is cut to 1/3 thickness but the seasoning is the same. Borderline inedible. Like dump out the salt shaker. Won't likely return.

Sooo close to a five star. Pros: 1. We didn't have a reservation but got a seat at the bar. 2. They had music playing in the lounge. 3. The service was very friendly. 4. The drinks were amazing. 5. The steak was cooked perfectly and one of the best I have ever had. Cons (why I can't give it a 5). 1. The service was pretty slow and we waited a while for food and drinks. 2. I ordered a glass of wine and they ran out of that kind but charged me the higher price for the swap of the other wine. If they didn't have the other one they should have given it to me at that price. 3. We ordered the lobster au gratin, and they didn't have lobster but they didn't tell us that until bringing out the potatos. We should have know up front (in case we wanted to order something different). 4. The steak came out first and we were almost done eating it before our side came out. Overall food, service, vibe was amazing just need to fix a few things and it would be a 5. I would come back for sure!

Always a good experience at Sullivans! I had the filet with a side of Brussel sprouts and sweet potato mash. The Brussels were a little different and they were excellent! I would call it "Cole slaw" style with a lot of flavor. Definitely check them out if you're partial to Brussels. The overall experience is typical of what you would expect from a high end steakhouse.

Excellent service, ambiance, and the best I have ever had. First steak I have had that was so juicy and tender - I didn't need steak sauce and barely used my steak knife!

We arrived not able to valet bc the valet lot was full. While the restaurant was moody vibes with great service, it is ridiculously packed with tables squeezed together like you're having lunch in the school cafeteria. Zero intimacy. The Brussels were sliced and seemed more like a salad than an actual dish. The tomahawk was more bone than meat and was only medium in certain places everywhere else it was well done. The crab cakes were ok, I thought they were cooked harder and I didn't eat the slaw bc it had onions in it. The calamari was good and the lobster mac was absolutely delicious. I won't return simply because of how everyone is squeezed in like were at a concert.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NUt3d5/ Wowza!! You've got to order these! Drinks, Food, service and atmosphere was top notch!!

Dry flavorless steak. Mac and cheese was not good. Unsure what cheese they use. Asparagus was good, but it's hard to mess up asparagus u less you overcook them. Cheesesteak eggrolls were tasty, but not the healthiest choice.

This is a premier steakhouse by any definition. The steaks, chops and seafood are outstanding.,This visit, I had the NY Strip Steak. I ordered it rare--it came out rare and delicious. The cream spinach and shrimp fried rice are excellent. The host and wait staff are very attentive, courteous and professional. The inside is very well design and decorated. This is a long time grand spot in Raleigh located in the Glenwood South area. Highly recommend.

Phenomenal service, food, and atmosphere. Food was cooked perfectly! Will definitely be back. Ask for Robin, she was amazing! Get the Cajun ribeye, you won't be disappointed.

Shannon was incredible as our waitress. We received an email about your tomahawk and lobster special which prompted us to make a reservation. We were "greeted" by a hostess that simply pointed and told us to take the first booth on the left. The menus were on the seats of the booth. Not what I expect from a premier steakhouse . Shannon and the manager jumped through hoops to overcome the apathy of your hostesses. When leaving, I stopped at the host stand and told the hostess that the dining experience started with her so she should be more attentive and welcoming. Her flippant attitude confirmed that she could not care less about the customer experience. I understand good help is hard to find but don't put someone in the front of the house that does not represent the environment you are trying to portray. Food was OK but the entire experience gave me an Applebee's vibe but with valet service.

Sarah Michael (our lovely waitress),was MAGNIFICENT!!!! EXCELLENT SEEVICE!! Personalable helpful engaging...she was super nice!! The food was superb as always. Hubs familt was visiting from NYC and again Sullivans was their preferred place of dining. You can not miss when coming here!!

We went for my bf's birthday and had a great time. Wonderful food and service. LOVE their French onion soup and wedge salad. Cocktails were amazing!

Sullivan's presents itself as a classic, upscale steakhouse but it doesn't meets most of the standards to merit that name. The steaks weren't bad but at these prices I expect superlative. They were good and cooked to the requested temperatures but nothing out of the ordinary. The garlic mashed potatoes were rather good. It would have been nice to have more than a few tablespoonfuls, though. Bread and butter were unremarkable and desserts are standard issue US Foods/Sysco frozen and defrosted. Oh, and the room is attractive and atmospheric, even if the tables are packed in like the subway at rush hour. Here's where Sullivan's misses: No coat check. At these prices I don't expect to have to sit with a winter coat in my lap. Unnecessary tableware left on the table throughout the entire meal. Once it was clear that two diners were not drinking wine those glasses should have been removed. They weren't. A dirty knife was removed from a plate and replaced on the table to be used for the next course. Bread plate left on table throughout the meal even though it was empty and dirty. It took requests to have water glasses refilled and to have the side dishes served. Food issues: I don't think I've ever seen such thin steaks served at a restaurant. One point of appeal at a steakhouse is the thick, luscious slab on beef on your plate. I don't think that 2 of the steaks even hit the 1-inch mark. The wild mushroom side dish was a reasonably tasty, if somewhat salty dish of plain whole button mushrooms with maybe one slice of shiitake mushroom. I could be mistaken, though. That one slice could have been my imagination. The lobster "risotto" was an embarrassment. I have no idea how the kitchen thought it was a good idea to send that out. The dish was slightly warm, very mushy, and tasted as if it was made days ago. It had no seasoning beyond a slightly fishy undertone and looked thoroughly unappealing. The tell was that the menu listed cream as an ingredient. That isn't a luxury ingredient. It's a cheat that the kitchen uses to avoid having to properly cook the rice in the first place. There is a prix fixe meal available that you have to know to ask for. The steak is 8-oz which I consider to be a reasonable serving. Everything else on that meal is cutting corners. If you want bacon on the wedge salad, that's an up charge. The side of otherwise tasty mashed potatoes wasn't even kiddie sized. Okay, I've done this once. No need to repeat.

Our waiter was Ricky - he was awesome! The filet and sides were delicious and their lobster bisque was the best I've ever had!

Quite a selection of dinners on offer, especially for you steak lovers. I wont write more of the menu, because it is all online. I have been there twice now, with a party of four. All of us happy with our tasty and well cooked to order(if applicable) dinners, sides, and dessert. Service was a bit slow my most recent visit, but not terribly so. Ambience is old school steak house, formally dressed wait staff, dark wood panelling, no external light, but thankfully no cigar smoke(for those of us of a certain age). The big issue with me, is the "dress code" if you can call it that. The published guidelines are "No hats, tank tops, flip flops, team athletic attire, items with offensive odor, images or language and overly casual or revealing clothing". All well and good, but not good enough! Look, when I spend the money for a good fancy steakhouse dinner, I do not want to see fellow male diners in t-shirts, shorts, blue jeans or athletic shoes! Not all the patrons dress in such a pedestrian manner, but plenty sure do. Elegence killer is how I see it.

We've been to Sullivan's a few times - both for individual reservations as well as part of a NYE special they put on. The best thing about Sullivan's is they make it an experience. It is really lovely. I would take the opportunity to indulge in it all, drinks, apps, steak, and dessert. They've impressed me every time so I truly don't think you can go wrong in your choice. They also have a lovely staff and will occasionally have live music. There is valet parking, which I encourage if you're going in the evening because parking on Glenwood can be difficult. But if not valet, there is street parking available, as well as a parking deck right beside the restaurant. Definitely encourage a reservation, and if you're wanting to go around a major holiday, book a month in advance.

We came in for lunch on a Friday afternoon, wasn't busy so the bartender was also our server. You have to ask for the lunch menu because it isn't given when you are seated. We shared the charred oysters which 4 came with it and that was really good. I got the shaved prime rib sandwich with French fries and it was just meh. Nothing spectacular coming from a steakhouse to be honest. My mom had a steak with spinach and she enjoyed it. My brother also had a steak with Brussel sprouts but had to send the Brussel sprouts back because they were burnt. We did have a few cocktails which were tasty and a cheesecake that was too. Overall for a very pricey steakhouse I felt food presentation could've been better and brighten the lights way too dim in there.

The service was very good. Our server, John was incredibly kind and patient with our party. The food was just OK. Appetizers were really good. Tempura lobster was AMAZING!

Went to this location for my parents surprise 65th anniversary. We really enjoyed ourselves. The two waiters that attended to the 25 of us were very attentive. The food was very good as well as the drinks. It was a nice atmosphere in our private room.

My husband and I go here every year to celebrate our anniversary. It's a dim lit romantic ambiance. It never disappoints. The Banana Foster dessert is my all time favorite dessert. Here is what we had. All of it was great! The service was incredible. Banana Old Fashioned Dirty Bird Martini Oyster Rockefeller Cheesesteak Eggrolls Filet mignon topped with crab and asparagus Filet mignon with crab stuffed shrimp Brussle sprouts Crab fried rice Banana Foster with Vanilla ice cream. All of it was amazing.

An establishment that tries to pretend it is "fine dining" when it is certainly not. Crowded, loud and worn, this place is obviously not up to any fine dining standards. It advertises/promises valet parking. But when my party arrived the attendants barely acknowledged us and just said they were "full" and to park elsewhere. I have never experienced that before! The food was ordered once we were seated. We were a party of 5. 4 of the meals were served. 10-15 minutes later the 5th meal came out. The waiter apologized with no explanation, and did nothing to compensate for the poor delivery. The 5th meal was a salad with chicken. The $22 charged was on the bill for this late meal. Of course, being courteous we all waited. The steaks were cold and tough. The presentation looked like something from a diner rather than a "fine dining" establishment. The atmosphere and ambiance were less that what one would and should expect. It was loud, noisy and crowded. It seemed that the overcrowding was part of the reason for the "full" valet service. Such greed! If you have ever eaten food at an establishment considered "fine dining" - do not expect it here. Sullivan's in other cities far and above outshine this poor excuse of such an establishment.

I came with my wife on a Saturday for lunch and the place was empty except for one other table. By the end of our lunch, there were about 3 or 4 more tables, but the space was largely empty. We were seated at a booth and the tablecloth had 2 stains about 2-3 inches in diameter in a very conspicuous place. It was probably clean, but it was just an eyesore. We ordered the business lunch, both getting the Shrimp and Lobster Bisque to start. The flavor was fine, but there was definitely no shrimp or lobster in the bisque - it was all soup. I ordered the "Prime Delmonico Steak" which was honestly closer to a cheap diner steak than a prime anything. I ordered it medium rare and it came out closer to medium well. Not impressive at all. I got the side of Roasted Garlic Parmesan Fries, which was also unimpressive - fries with some grated parmesan cheese on top. My wife got the Salmon, which was actually tender and flavorful. She forgot to request it cooked rare, which they were able to accommodate after she had ordered, so she was appreciative of that - it's actually the only reason why I'm willing to give more than one star. Her side of Brussels Sprouts was also pretty good - the pieces of bacon in it was a nice touch. The service was friendly and prompt, and street parking was free on the weekends, so that was a nice perk. But overall, our experience at Sullivan's was very underwhelming and I don't see us coming back, especially at the price point.

This review is for the Raleigh, NC location. I do not know why YELP says San Francisco. My party and I were incredibly pleased with the exceptional service Adam provided. He anticipated every need, was incredibly personable, while at the same time not intrusive. His overall personality was engaging. As for dinner, 5 of 6 had exceptionally good meat or seafood choices. Unfortunately, I did not. My 6 oz. filet was not good. There was a strain of fat running through. This is the second time in a row this has happened. The last time there the filet was even worse and I sent it back only to be delivered an exceptional cut. I did not want to do the same last night as it would have been delivered well after the others in my party were finished (that's what happened last time anyway). Management: I don't know what but surely the cook should be able to see that the meat is not fit for serving.

I ordered the Australian wagyu tomahawk. I gotta say it wasn't that actual grade of steak . I have had this type of steak before and the flavor was out of this world amazing. This steak not so much . For this kind of money the outside was burnt . 1st time eating here and well unfortunately I won't be coming back . It's a bummer.. but maybe the rest of the menu might be amazing, just not for me . Service was great . Larry our waiter was knowledgeable and an all around great guy. Love the look of the restaurant very elegant and nice

Fatty, tastless steak. Skimpy portions. Really gone down hill. I really dont think well be back.

While this was not my first time dining at Sullivan's, this was an entirely new experience! Seated with three of my friends, we came to enjoy their vodka inspired dinner and boy was it a treat! Stephen was the great MC, very knowledgeable and so hospitable. The staff were gracious and friendly, and the food was absolutely delightful. Jamie was our server and he was fantastic! We truly enjoyed the drink pairings. I will have to return to Sullivan's soon!

food was bussing LATHAN WAS BOMB HIS SERVICE WAS GREAT ! he made sure my dad had a wonderful birthday dinner I enjoyed him !

Ricky was incredible and he makes the best sweet tea! If you haven't tried the business lunch it's the best deal in town!! $30 for salad, meat, and a side!

Sullivan's Steakhouse is a hard NO! Spent my birthday dinner there and it was the worst experience. Service was horrible and the food was mediocre. Baked potatoes were OLD but the steaks were good. For the price point, it wasn't worth it at all!

Wonderful service from Adam! Thank you for making our celebration memorable! The food was served timely and tasted very good! We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and ambiance of Sullivan's Steakhouse. Lori C.

Came in for lunch for the first time. At first the decor looked amazing until we noticed the wide open kitchen. The place was very quiet except from all the laughing and profanity coming from the cooks in the kitchen. The server was awesome and the food came fast without issue. I ordered the lunch French dip sandwich but it had no Au Jus or horseradish sauce nor was it on a baguette. It was just shaved steak on a hamburger bun. My wife had the crabcake sandwich and it was ok. My daughters both had the chicken Caesar. The chicken was so dry it had to be over a week old and the portion looked like a child's order. They also had the shrimp and lobster bisque that had no lobster in it and only 1 shrimp., it tasted like salty beef broth. Very disappointed after wasting $170.00.

Celebrating an anniversary is a very special occasion. Celebrating an anniversary with great friends is awesome! Celebrating an anniversary at a great restaurant is amazing! The ambiance of this restaurant was just jaw-dropping. We loved every minute of this experience. The steak that I had was so moist and flavorful. It was seasoned to perfect and cooked perfectly. I lived the mashed potatoes in which the garlic was very prominent, and the horseradish was just enough and not overpowering. The restaurant is located in downtown Raleigh.....very convenient. I absolutely lived my experience at Sullivan's!

Adam was absolutely on point! Amazing service and food. Always a wonderful example when we go!
