Taurus Steakhouse San Carlos

Pricey. 60$ buffet is only choice. If you're a big guy and want all you can eat...

Closed down out of business

Poorly run and overpriced.

Steaks were great; menu just varied enough to allow a few repeat visits. Sides solid. Service was bad. Drinks slow. Rarely saw our waiter. Long sad pauses between courses. It's Covid, so a grain of salt here, go, expect to overpay, be patient, enjoy the excellent steaks. Support your local businesses.

Scrumptious, yummy food, with balanced portions that made me full enough without feeling bloated. We order pork belly, steaks, and sides to share. I really enjoyed the carrots, and love how they sliced our cuts for us. Watching the wagyu being cooked was fun, too. We also had some cocktails, which had really fun cups for each type of drink, and were all pretty delicious, though sweet. I found it interesting that we had to ask for bread service, but I guess it’s not an olive garden or anything so . Also, if we got too full on bread I don’t think we’d appreciate the meal as much. Lastly, we shared some cake and I had an Affogato, which I appreciated they had decaf espresso; I didn’t know that was a thing. I reserved the table on open table, I think, and added that it was for a birthday and asked for desert for the birthday boy. I was surprised that they brought our table a round of Prosecco, and gave the birthday boy a crème brûlée with a candle. Oh, and they change the menu every couple months, so just check if you’re pining for something in particular if that’s a deal breaker or not to choosing this restaurant. It was quite empty on a Thursday evening, and the food is pricey, but we left feeling satisfied and happy we chose Taurus.

So la la

Oh, where to begin. I really want to like this place. It’s so nicely decorated and is our only true steakhouse. But then there’s reality. Poor service (kind people but so bad at their job), meh food, super high prices, don’t have the wine they claim to have. It has so much potential. Need to shake things up to make it function. Restaurant 101 stuff!
