While I understand that Shula's has terrific steak, I guess it's a matter of opinion. Many people choose Yachtsman over Shula's..,.not sure why, but they do. And someday I will eat at Shula's. But for now...it's too expensive. It would cost me about $75 pp to eat there. Out of my budget.
I have eaten at LeCellier many, many times. And yes, I thought the quality had gone downhill, but still, I wanted to give it a shot for lunch when we traveled with friends mid-Oct. Well, I was hugely surprised at the quality of our lunch. As I said before, everyone felt it was the first or second best meal of the trip...and we ate a lot of signature meals!!! The filet was incredible...better than anything I've had in recent memory. but, that's just my opinion.
