text: I had to break the trend of decent reviews for DC Steak House, I really did want to like it.  Downtown Chandler has needed a place like this and we had really high hopes for it.\n\nThey bill themselves as being between the lower end and the higher end steak houses and they nailed it when it comes to the final bill, sadly they didn't when it comes to the food.\n\nI honestly believe that this is the first steak house I have ever been to that would not let me substitute out the side house salad for a side ceaser salad.  The waiter told me that he could get fired if he asked the kitchen to do that for me.  Even the lower end places allow that.\n\nWhen it came to the steak, I ordered the $31 fillet which was probably a decent cut of meat, but my definition of medium rare and their definition seems to be very different.  There was no way that my steak was anything other than medium well.\n\nI wouldn't mind paying something higher than what I can get at the national chain places if I actually had a meal that was better than what I can get at those same chains.
