Reservations · Takeout
Destination steakhouse with creative starters and standout Denver steaks in a moody, historic setting; excellent cocktails, good but occasionally inconsistent service, and high prices.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
P.S. Steak earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality—particularly Denver and shoulder steaks—paired with strong service knowledge and moody, romantic ambiance that elevates the special-occasion experience. However, inconsistent execution on doneness and pacing during peak nights prevents grade A territory, and occasional service delays temper what could otherwise be a more commanding performance. For celebratory dinners with advance planning, it delivers competitive quality with the area's better steakhouse destinations.
Restaurant Summary
Set inside a classic building near Loring Park, P.S. Steak pairs moody, romantic ambiance with a polished cocktail lounge and a darker steakhouse room. Service often feels celebratory—several guests mention handwritten cards—while a recurring note is, "they really helped us pick the right cut." Expect special-occasion energy and well-run valet, though peak nights can bring delays. The kitchen takes a classic steakhouse core and adds subtle global accents—think bison tataki, ssamjang mayo, and curry bearnaise—without drifting into full-on fusion. The Denver and shoulder steaks draw the most praise, supported by sides like aligot and Brussels sprouts. When the line is hitting, plates sing; a few diners report off nights with uneven doneness or long pacing, so plan a relaxed meal and trust staff guidance for cuts and sauces. Families do visit, but the vibe is adult-leaning. There is no explicit kids menu, yet approachable items like spaghetti pomodoro, fries, chicken, and simpler steaks mean many children will find something. If your crew prefers plain comfort food, clarify preparations—sides and sauces can be rich and assertive.
