Great meal in a nice setting. Had some friends visiting from out of town and they absolutely loved it. The staff was great, and our waitress was excellent! If you want a great dining experience, you can’t go wrong with Steelbach.

We eat here at least once a month especially during performances at the Straz. We had Mark as our server yesterday and he did a great job. I have not had the chicken breast dish in quite a while so tried it again. The risotto was perfectly cooked as was the garlic spinach (it’s not good when it’s overcooked and flabby). The chicken portion was perfect and the sauce kept it juicy. Can’t forget the key lime stack dessert! Yum!😋
