I recently went to Old Stone SteakHouse in Belmont.  The best part of my meal was the appetizer and that was just some boneless wings.  The steak I ordered was a 14oz ribeye with it's so called "signature" butter on top was at best less than average.  Not to mention this was the smallest 14oz steak I have ever had.  I had a 10oz ribeye at the Hard Rock Cafe that was bigger than this.  No flavor except for the butter on top, it would have been very bland without it.  I didn't have time to ask ...
