Marie Livingston's Steakhouse Tallahassee

The Filet was perfect. Sat at the bar. Very friendly. Came back a 2nd time.

Went there on 9/26/2020. Sign on door said "closed". Outside areas were unkempt and there was damage to the shutters.Tried to call their phone number, got message saying number is no longer in service. We used to come to this and their other locations for over 20 years. Looks like they may not have survived the COVID shutdown. Sad to see them go.

Don’t answer their phone

Finally went to Marie Livingston's and I can see why the reviews aren't so favorable. I ordered a steak and my side was fries. The portion of fries I received was so small I looked at the plate confused. The fries ended up being really bland and the steak was very average. The steak was covered in sauce I assume to give it some flavor. The menu's are literally on a piece of paper. This place doesn't live up to the price they charge. I prefer Longhorn or Outback, better prices and better food.

Pleasure to eat out again. Service was really good, as were the prices. Salad was fine. Asked for my steak without the "special sauce", cooked to order, good flavor, a little chewey for the price. Coconut cream pie was top notch. Overall good visit, perhaps they should opt for a little better quality meat for steakhouse prices.

Both the food and service are always great.

After reading the online reviews, our expectations were pretty high, but our experience was disappointing. My wife's filet was excellent, her baked potato was a bit undercooked, and her salad was just okay. My signature, 20oz bone in ribeye was extremely fatty with grizzle and not really enjoyable. Service was also below par, had to ask for silverware and drink refills.

Avid steak eater here! The worse ever. Waitress was sneaky, fillets were not fillets, vegetables uncooked thrown on a hot plate. Ran out of every drink I ordered. The place had trash all around and was just overall not my expectation of a steakhouse. I ordered the fillet and I have no clue what part of the cow that was. It looked like a steak they put together in a circle shape and called it a fillet. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was pretty much still kicking when I got it. I took two bites asked Haley the waitress to take it back and remove (I don’t send food back to he recooked) she said she would. A few minutes later she came back with both checks stacked one on the other never commented on if she spoke to the mgr about the issue and tried to hide the fact there was another check. I asked her about taking the steak off she said the couldn’t because I didn’t see it back to recooked (confused face) I let her that I was not going to pay for the check so please check back with the manager finally all of a sudden the steak was taken off. Did she even speak to the mgr the first two times? Probably not.

First time here and will never be back again. The wait to be seated wasn't bad. However that and the rolls were the only decent thing about this place. We both ordered filet mignon. Husband ordered medium (warm, pink center according to their menu) and I ordered medium well (hot, pink center). Waiter was not great. Took forever to get a sweet tea and a beer. Appetizer came out (Thai fried shrimp) it was so-so. Salads were just lettuce and dressing with 1 to 2 croutons that tasted burnt. After waiting an entire hour with no communication from our waiter, he comes to tell us they have a big party and so the food is gonna take even more time. Probably 15 minutes later, we receive our food and our steaks are well done...mine was super well done. We attempt to eat it, but just have to bring it up after all the waiting we had already done just to get the food. He doesn't even offer at first to get us another steak, but honestly we don't want to wait another hour for a steak anyway so they got us. The waiter doesn't really seem to care too much but says he could try and give us a dessert for free? No thanks. He mumbles something about trying to see what he could do and walks off. Waiter doesn't come back for a long time again and when he does seems to have forgotten about everything we had discussed earlier. We ask for the check, no discounts listed (probably should have pushed more and maybe if we were rude people would have, but you shouldn't have to be rude to get decent customer service). We pay the waste of a $100 and waiter say alright thanks sorry about the steaks and walks off. Attached is photo of husband's supposed "medium" steak.

Marie Livingstons really surprised me in a good way. The decor, lighting, and food were all very well done. I had a reservation, but it took me a little extra time to get seated because there was a very large party waiting ahead of me. I also felt they were pretty busy, so I wasn't greeted when I walked in. Despite these things, the staff was very friendly. I really liked the tabling and dimness in the restaurant. I had the 10oz ribeye with a grilled veggie kabob. It came with a salad and roll as well. Honestly what blew me away was the salad and roll. It tasted like the ranch was homemade as well as the croutons, and the roll came with a creamy honey butter that was sooooo good. As far as the steak, it was very good too. They have a special sauce they use and it added tons of flavor. I think the steaks are just a bit pricey but the rest of the menu is fine. Overall, I would definitely come back.
