For a place that really only exists to be trendy they had some decent food. I think the fusion menu worked pretty well for them as we had a good time the couple of times we went.
The sushi was okay, good, not great. Dinner adds up pretty fast and it gets expensive, but overall can be a fun place. Definately a "scene", saw one of the Mavs last time we were there.

We thought it was full boobs at your chair and "Busting Shirts" at the tables.

As far as the "pretty" people comments go, if you wake up at Steel, you probably won't somehow think you're in Miami or New York.

Whatever. The valet guy takes his turn on the drivetrain. Of course the table isn't ready, so they shovel us into the bar.

Presumably, this is a sushi bar. Place an order of chop chop. The guy behind the bar has no idea what that is. You know, hotate? No clue. The server tries to describe it - scallop, really? It somes with some huge roe on it.

Finally wedged into a too small table. It's important to hear how important everyone else is around you apparently.

A few dishes come and go. Poke is swimming in sauce. A little gross. Lobster is nicely done with sea salt. However, the server tries to sell me on an "exotic, exclusive to Steel asian garlic spice sauce." It's sriracha.

The sea bass is really a nice dish, and it should be considering how many years it's been on the menus around town. She orders mashed instead of baked potato. No one mentions it's an extra 3 dollars until the bill comes. It's worth commenting that all that's on the 28 dollar plate is fish, potato and carrot greens.

Drinks are ok, if a little slow.

It's getting late, and our server asks us to settle up his tab. I guess there are better things to do than work. It's the fastest anyone moved all night. It's also called how to work one's self out of a decent tip.

Go, drink, wear as little as possible, and mention as frequently as possible words like margin, Benz or huge settlement and you'll be fine!
