When you think of a steak dinner, the first thing that comes to mind would probably either be the word “fancy” or “expensive”, depending on your outlook on things and your social standing. It makes sense: meat is valuable, and steaks are made up of the best, most choice cuts of meat. To go along with the price of the meal, expensive restaurants usually lavish up everything: chandeliers light up the whole place, a small fortune of candle wax is used to illuminate each table, an expensive band is hired to play Beethoven’s Symphonies on their orchestra, the guests wear ornate ballroom masks [the kind that cover up your face], and all the waiters look like Batman’s butler Alfred. Because of the fancy decor, the restaurant can then ram the prices through the roof, allowing in only the city’s most elite and rich clientele, which I’m sure the Freemasons and Illuminati of our society enjoy during all of their social dinners, because it perfectly encapsulates the classism in their ways.
Good ol' diner feel steakhouse. Place not busy, attentive servers. Big portion for it's price. Great for a casual eating place/date/catch up with friends. Decor gives you the old school restaurant feel. I'll come back again.
The tulip like most describe is a no frills diner that serves up various cuts of steaks and other classic diner menu items.
The tulip's atmosphere is outdated. Looks like it hasn't been touched up ever. Same appearance from when I was there over ten years ago.
The food was good. The portions enormous and quite good value for the money paying. The proteins were definitely the highlight of the meals. The mashed potatoes had a glue consistently and the home fries were your standard diner fare. Two meals with salads, mains and desserts were 68$! Not bad when one is a 24oz porter!
The service was great. The place wasn't very busy so the server was very attentive. If you want a cheap steak fix and are in the east end, it's a worth to try.
