What people say, in short
Desi Vega's Steakhouse on St. Charles Avenue is a steakhouse that many diners recommend. One diner calls it a sure pick for steak, and another says its prime beef and sides beat Charlie's and Crescent City. A couple of diners suggest it as a traditional, fancy steakhouse, and a couple suggest it mainly for convenience or as a backup if other places are booked. Caveat: one diner found their only visit terrible but wondered if it was an off night.
