The first time at the new location was a business dinner, which was excellent and very impressive. The service, steaks, and wine were all excellent. My wife and I visited for our anniversary. We had appetizers in the bar area first - no happy hour! But it was an excellent night, again with great service and fabulous food. I recommend... More

This place is awesome! Great Food, great atmosphere, GREAT SERVICE! This place is top notch. Some of the best food I have ever had. Steak was cooked perfectly! They even have some cheaper options on the menu than they had downtown. A couple of chicken dishes and I had the Surf and turf pasta. Steaek and shrimp for 19$ That... More

My wife and I met a few friends for drinks and dinner on February 9th. We arrived early and went to the bar area to order drinks. There were about 5 waitresses huddled in a corner comparing the jewelry they were wearing and taking pictures of the jewelry with their phones. That seems more important then to come and take...

This place has a glossy reputation - but it's just a mediocre steak house with inflated prices. From the snotty young women who are called hostesses to the way over friendly or inattentive wait staff to the mediocre food that whole experience leaves you wishing you had just gone to hamburger joint.

The food is fantastic. My husband's steak was enormous. Service is great probably because there were only 2 other couples eating at the time. BUT, and it is a LARGE BUT, it is so expensive. Entrees are sold separately from sides so if you want a salad or another side dish that is an extra expense. We spent $108 for... More

great new location..all new, its got an outdoor patio area and a new dance floor. dance floor is a bit small, and the dj could use some updated music, but the bar area is nice for visiting and vacationers and i love the new look. food is great better than when it was down town...

We were on time for our 9:30pm Saturday night reservation at Katz 21 but were told we'd have to wait. When we asked how long, the hostess' answer was "not as long as some of the others!" She said we should wait in the bar and her response to my question of how she would notify us was, "I'll remember... More

I like the new Katz 21 on the Southside. Its fun and energetic. Make reservations to ensure a meal and full menu in the dining room as this restaurant has potential for becoming a southside hot spot. The bar decor is very inviting and in lieu of waiting (just 20 mins) we decided to enjoy our drinks and meal in... More
