"Quality Eats is a steakhouse that’s pretending not to be a steakhouse. Their playlist is great, there’s hamachi crudo on the menu, there’s an excellent cocktail list, and the overall vibe is one that could get you laid - but not in an over-the-top way. On the people-pleasing spectrum, this restaurant covers everyone from your client who calls himself a “meat and potatoes guy” to a third date who you’re actually kind of serious about to a 16-year-old who only cares about the photo she’s going to take for her Instagram (definitely the ice cream with the birthday cake croutons)." - katherine lewin
