Frommer's Review
This is a truly excellent steakhouse that's positioned amid a cluster of dining options immediately above Cable Beach's Crystal Palace Casino. Relaxed but macho-looking and undeniably upscale, it's the most consistently busy restaurant at Cable Beach -- a function of its good food and also a function, in the words of its manager, of the predilection of gamblers for juicy, carnivorous steaks after a nerve-jangling session at the gaming tables. Early in 2007, management spent a small fortune upgrading the decor of this place, adding an intricately crafted paneled ceiling and generally improving a dark, slightly overcrowded venue that might have appealed to Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack from the 1960s.
Steaks are well prepared -- succulent, juicy, and cooked to your specifications. There's prime rib, filet mignon, pepper steak, grilled tuna with a white bean salad, blackened conch filet, Caesar salad, different preparations of seafood, and an array of dessert soufflés that include versions with chocolate, praline, and orange. Hint: If you're absolutely fixated on steak, this is an excellent choice and indeed a seductive culinary venue. But immediately adjacent to the Black Angus are two other restaurants, the all-Italian Sole Mare, with equivalently priced and, frankly, much more creative food. There's also the less expensive yet highly imaginative nouvelle-Asian Moso, which we also prefer. Note our separate recommendations of these other contenders below.
