A steakhouse is a restaurant that specializes in serving various cuts of beef, particularly steaks. These establishments often offer a range of cooking methods, including grilling and broiling, to enhance the flavor and tenderness of the meat. Steakhouses may also provide a selection of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, vegetables, and salads, to complement the main course. Many steakhouses focus on creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, often featuring dark wood decor and soft lighting. Some may also offer a curated wine list to pair with the meals. Popular chains and independent steakhouses can be found in cities around the world, catering to both casual diners and special occasions.
