Creator's Key Takeaways

The French onion soup blows any French onion soup out of the water. Any other one. Princess restaurants.

The salad was a real disappointment. It was salad is not great. Nice and fresh, but it was a watery dressing.

The steak itself, it was tasty, but it was overcooked. You know, again, you're in a steak house, you're typically paying $60 for a steak if you're not on a package. And it was overcooked.

The dessert was actually very good. I had the butterscotch uh cheesecake and it was that was delicious. That was definitely the highlight of my meal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Request seasoning or sauce for the prime rib if you prefer a seasoned crust.
