What people say, in short
Quality Meats has many steak advocates, including diners who name it their favorite, and some like its more modern atmosphere. The dissent centers on execution: diners report inconsistent doneness, weak seasoning and meals that did not justify the cost. One liked the porterhouse's flavor but found its cooking and presentation disappointing. It is a strong contender with a visible consistency question rather than an uncomplicated consensus pick.
