I hate to do this... but I'm going to say some things. We eat at upscale steak & seafood places almost exclusively. Out of the local places that specialize in steak... Firebirds is reliable ONLY at the Belvidere location. Short Pump is not reliable AT ALL. They will get the order wrong and will get the temperature wrong. Buckheads: like being in an episode of Madmen. Decor stuck in the 1960s. You'll be surrounded by old guys who donate to conservative causes and get LOUD about it after downing a couple of single malts. Dank and dirty feeling. Hondos: okay, but the menu hasn't changed in 10+ years. I finally convinced them to stop playing Michael Buble, but I want to try a different side vegetable before I die. Outback, just because it was mentioned here: decent steak, terrible atmosphere. Best steak we've had recently was Ruth's Chris. And best service as well. I think this is also a politically conservative place so we avoided it for many years but the experience we had there (food and service) was fantastic. Wonderful charring and perfect temperature, wee seasoned. I should add, if you're on a budget, or are dining with kids, O'Charleys makes a good, well seasoned ribeye (at least in my local market), it's just thinner than more expensive restaurants. We never eat sirloin so I can't speak to sirloin and we generally eat at expensive places to avoid country music and loud kids.
