replying to u/RecycledAccountName: Whoa, found this thread via google because i was debating trying either Amber Steak House or DeStefano's tonight. What are the odds you made this commented on this very thing 4 hrs ago. Anyway - curious if there are any reasons in particular you prefer DeStefano's to Amber Steak House? Looking for something that leans a little formal. Maybe not even formal, just "special occasion." A little more date night. DeStefano's, at least from a quick glance, appears to be the far more casual of the two. Right up my alley but wondering if my wife may prefer Amber. Food quality and relative value are also considerations.
“I personally prefer the steaks at DeStefano's to Amber (not by a wide margin, but enough that if I'm only craving a steak, DeStefano's is my first choice)”
