Phil Trani's Restaurant

I love Phil Trani?s. My husband and I come probably once a month or so. The Porterhouse is the best, but you have to get there early because they sell out often. My husband loves to get his steak blackened and rare, I don?t know how Phil does it, but he does and it?s perfect every time. I personally don?t like that much seasoning on my steak and they are always fabulous whether it?s a Porterhouse or the Rib Eye. I can?t say I have ever ordered anything but the steaks. The servers are wonderful and the drinks are stiff. If you have read my other reviews you can tell I really like old school places and this is no exception. It?s a hard choice to say whether this or The BullPen is my favorite restaurant, maybe if Phil?s tossed your salad at your table I would choose them hands down. Its great you should go! more

I was on a mission to finding a great italian restaurant...... I ended up making reservations here at 8:00 p.m on a Friday night. When my husband and I arrived, I automatically wanted to leave..... the decor is hidious.... I truely felt like I was in a Hospital cafeteria.... faded pink plastic round corner tables and booths.... So we gave it a chance, maybe the food is great...Since the owner is THE CHEF !!! We waited for about 10 min. to be seated.... the hostess looked like an old crackhead..... RIDICULOUS !!!! There was a nice live band playing some oldies. Then dun. dun. dun..... our waitress comes and asks us for anything to drink, we ordered. The waitress brought a bread basket w/ butter...... we were looking at the menu and saw that they had ""garlic butter"" so we asked the waitress to bring us some please....and she said ""you are eating the garlic butter"" STUPID DUMD BLONDE !!!! I mean she was trying to tell us that the reg. butter was garlic butter !!!! I was ready to leave, but then again I said, hey maybe the food is great !!!! WRONG the alfredo was watery !!!! the chicken was nasty !!!! This ruined the whole night ..so much for the owner being the CHEF!!! he should retire or work at convalescent home cafeteria..where tastless food is welcomed!!!!! Pros: Live oldies band Cons: Everything, but the band more

The place is dated and the remodle didn't quite get rid of the old cigarett smoke smell. The food is good more
