    The Tenderloin Room has been recognized as a 5 star restaurant in the past. I have visited many times I over the years. Unfortunately , I can no longer appreciate it as a well respected dining experience. During 3 visits this year, I clearly noticed a decline in service, food quality and the feeling of welcoming ambiance and charm. Hopefully the management team can consider reducing the number of tables and hiring more kitchen and server help.

    Food was excellent and service of high quality. People seated after us were served before we were, which was strange. Perhaps it was because there were 6 of us and only two of them. But it was the same waiter who facilitated that timing. I found that annoying but his efforts on other fronts was very good.

    This was the first time I have eaten at the Tenderloin Room. Typically we stay at another hotel closer to downtown that has another steakhouse located in it. The food was better here, and the service felt more personal. I would recommend the Tenderloin Room to anyone looking for a great steak and an enjoyable dining experience.

    The nostalgia of this restaurant is fantastic. We loved the old school vibe. The young lady at the front was fine, but the greeting didn’t give us the warm and fuzzies. Our table was great, seated by the large wine rack. Our server Cindy was outstanding throughout the entire meal, she could not have been better. We both had soup, French onion and the Senate bean, very tasty, especially the French onion, if you like the old Famous Barr French onion, this was better. The pork chop was very good, perfectly cooked and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment. The filet was fine, ordered Med rare, it was more medium and medium well in some spots. It tasted ok, but for what they charge, it didn’t equal up. The homemade steak sauce helped, but for the price, it should have been outstanding, it wasn’t quite that. Overall, very good and would go back.
