I spent $201 on dinner for 2 at a historic steakhouse. It was a better value than a chain restaurant.

"The Knife and Fork Inn in Atlantic City is a time capsule of classic steakhouses, from its wood-paneled walls and crisp white tablecloths to its indulgent yet reasonably priced steaks and sides. It's been open for over 100 years, and anyone with a passion for steak can see why it's still popular. On a recent trip to the beachside city, I had dinner with a friend at the Knife and Fork Inn and walked away impressed by the historic restaurant's charm, menu, and incredible value."

"The menu had a wide variety of appetizers, salads, steaks, sides, and more. The menu offered traditional steakhouse fare like wedge salads and multiple different cuts of steak, ranging from filet mignon to barrel-cut ribeye. There were also several non-steak entrées on the menu, including chicken Milanese, bone-in pork chop, and lobster thermidor. As our first appetizer, we ordered the cornmeal-crusted calamari. The cornmeal-crusted calamari ($13) came with pickled peppers and a Calabrian chili aioli."

Appetizers included cornmeal-crusted calamari with pickled peppers and Calabrian chili aioli and a classic wedge salad topped with tomato and applewood bacon. A shared 16-ounce prime sirloin was served with sautéed broccolini and priced at $54. The total for two rounds of drinks, two appetizers, one steak entrée, and a side was $201, representing notable value.
