Council Oak Steaks & Seafood (Hard Rock Hotel & Casino- Hollywood)

Council Oak Steaks & Seafood, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood, Florida 33314, (954) 327-7501.

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Council Oak Steaks & Seafood back on January 9, 2007- that ‘review’ is down-below! Until last night’s dinner, Jeff Eats (as a guest of one of the Casino’s “players”) hadn’t been back!

Just a quick note, absolutely nothing whatsoever has changed at the Council Oak Steaks & Seafood with its food being just FAIR, its service just FAIR and its menu being OVERPRICED.

Let me go one step further and tell you guys that – free or not free, Council Oak Steaks & Seafood is an absolute waste of time and money!

Council Oak Steaks & Seafood
1 Seminole Way
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Hollywood, Florida 33314
(954) 327-7501

This “upscale” steak-seafood joint is located in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. I had dinner there last Saturday night (January 6, 2007).

Council Oak’s food is FAIR. Council Oak’s wait-service is FAIR. Council Oak’s menu is OVERPRICED.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for you to eat at this restaurant, unless you are a guest of the Seminole Indians or some one else.

    Jeff,
    Council is a disaster. Everything about it is second rate. Way overpriced is an understatement.
    What amazes me is that NYY in the Seminole Coconut Creek is terrific.
    Anyone who really pays to eat in the Council is an idiot.

    My wife and I tried Council Oak once. Nothing special at all from the service to the food and yes, WAY overpriced. Since then we had tickets for a show and went into the lounge for some soup & filet tidbits before the show. Service was slow and then Mick Fleetwood came in and sat down. It was magic, everyone else that was in the lounge became invisible to the waitstaff. We were not the only party that walked out after complaining to the Management. we’ve had much better meals at Chuck’s Steakhouse or Tropical Acres. Hell, the Flo’s Filet I had Saturday at Longhorn was way better than C.O.

      Jeff,
      Give Council Oak another try.
      Like you, years ago my wife I ate there a small handful of times and thought that food was not so hot.
      Last night we ate there and we really enjoyed the food and its service was really good.
      The French onion soup, bacon appetizer, tomahawk steak, sautéed onions, Caesar salad, mashed potatoes, corn, and key lime pie that had were all delicious,
      Service was good and menu prices were very reasonable.

    Council Oak could not stay in business unless it was in the casino. Loads of people are comped. The food and service absolutely stink. As for prices totally outrageous.

  4. Dan S says...

    My wife and I ate there several years ago. Suffice it to say once was enough. A total ripoff.

  5. MS says...

    35 years ago in Atlantic City hey day. Watching comped players overeat on crap.

    If it’s free some folks will take it regardless of the poor quality, rushed service and cattle car atmosphere.

    I just don’t get it.

  6. Dennis W says...

    Absolute crap.

    Jeff,
    This restaurant is a disaster.
    Lousy food.
    Lousy service.
    Overpriced.

  8. John Presley says...

    Four of us ate there about 2 months ago.
    The food was absolute garbage.
    As for service, not even once did the waiter refill water or drink glasses during the meal.

  9. SMITH says...

    Ate there last night for the first time. Sorry I didnt read your review before I wasted my time and money. LOUSY!

    Jeff,
    My wife and I ate dinner there last night and we thought that our food was very good. Not great but, very good. Service was excellent and the pricing was decent enough.

  12. Ernie Garcia says...

    Ate dinner last night with my wife, son and our two daughters. Our food was delicious and service was excellent.

  13. My family and I ate there this past Friday night. The restaurant was absolutely packed and the noise level was beyond control. Literally, 5 adults couldn’t hear each other talk.

    This was our first time at this restaurant. We have eaten in the Seminoles’ NYY Steak and have loved it each and every time, Great food and service. Since both restaurants are owned by the Seminoles we figured that the food and service would be similar. Service was good, but the food wasn’t even close to NYY’s food. The food was decent, but we expected much better. Price wise, with no liquor our bill with tip was $478.

    It’s anyone’s guess as to why the food level wasn’t on par with NYY.

    The noise level actually ruined our meal.

      Have to agree with you, NYY runs circles around Council Oaks.
