Peter Luger's Steak: Long Island

Was in Strong Island and passed Peter Luger's Steak House, I was hungry so I did a U and decided to treat myself and the wife to some red meat.

I've been to the Luger's in Brooklyn which has been there since 1887, and I learned last night that this one in Long Island has been there for 40 years. After having been to both I can honestly say that I'm not a fan of Peter Luger's steak.

I don't like my steak chopped up and brought out to me. I don't like the utter lack of ambiance. I can pay $30 for steak anywhere in NYC, so I'd like to have a table that didn't look like it was bought from K-mart 20 years ago. I think their staple side dish of creamed spinach tastes like frozen spinach. The German potatoes were good and so was the bread, although it wasn't warm, so it wasn't a total loss. I won't knock the service because it was good and the people were very nice.
