A 5-Star Birthday Dinner at Steak & Main

For my daughter’s birthday, we headed to Steak & Main — a place we’d heard amazing things about — and the experience truly delivered. Even though the restaurant doesn’t require dressing up, we did anyway because that’s my daughter’s birthday tradition. It added a fun, elegant touch that set the tone for the night.

We had a table of six, and everyone ordered something different, which made it easy to get a feel for the menu. Three of us ordered sushi, and the plates that came out looked like something from a top-tier sushi house — fresh, beautifully plated, and absolutely delicious. Two of us chose steaks that were cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavor. And one person ordered the filet mignon meatloaf, which turned out to be surprisingly incredible comfort food with a fine-dining twist.

As for gluten-free options, the menu wasn’t clearly marked, but our server was extremely helpful. She walked us through the menu and let me know exactly what was safe for us to order. It made a huge difference, and everything we chose was flavorful, safely prepared, and absolutely worth it.

The service, the food, and the atmosphere all came together for a night that felt special from start to finish. Steak & Main is a definite 5-star experience, and we left already talking about what we want to try next time.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here’s why:

Overall Experience: From the food to the service to the celebration vibes, Steak & Main delivered a perfect night. Truly worth every star.

Food: Every dish was incredible. The sushi was fresh, perfectly presented, and full of flavor. The steaks were tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The filet mignon meatloaf was a delightful surprise — rich, savory, and memorable.

Service: Our server, Angelina M. was attentive, friendly, and made the experience effortless.

Atmosphere: Even without dressing up, the restaurant has a warm, inviting vibe. Dressing up for my daughter’s birthday made it feel extra special.

Sushi craving….

My daughter suggested I make sushi for dinner tonight sometime last week since my parents were going to be in town. I LOVE SUSHI! She knew there was no way I would say no. Sushi is rather easy to make — but the prep work is what gets you. Since my family loves the specialty rolls you find at Sushi Restaurants it means we no longer can eat out. Imitation Crab is filled with Wheat. Tempura Shrimp or Tempura Rolls in general are Wheat and therefore a no no for our Gluten Intolerance. But no worries I make really great rolls at home. I spent hours on the perping. I made three batches of sticky rice in my rice cooker than added seasoning to give it that yummy sushi flavor.

Then I sliced cucumbers, avocados and green onions. I used salmon, shrimp and fresh crab for my fillings.

I made several sauces to drizzle on the rolls which included Teriyaki, Unagi and Yum Yum.

Sushi Rice:

Ingredients

1.5 cups sushi or short grain rice
3 cups water, plus extra for rinsing rice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions Place the rice into a mixing bowl and cover with cool water. Swirl the rice in the water, pour off and repeat 2 to 3 times or until the water is clear. Place the rice and 3 cups of water into a rice cooker and cook according to your machine. Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds. Transfer the rice into a large wooden or glass mixing bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Fold thoroughly to combine and coat each grain of rice with the mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature before using to make sushi.
