What people say, in short
Trivoli Tavern is recommended by diners seeking steak without a conventional steakhouse setting, and one diner specifically enjoyed its steak sandwich. Several choose it over Gibsons in a steak-dinner comparison. The steak reports are not uniformly positive: one visitor found the steak dry, while another liked the steak frites but was disappointed by other parts of dinner. Its broader menu should not be confused with a guarantee that the steak is its strongest dish.
