Fresh Sheet: Churchill’s Steakhouse back on menu

Churchill’s Steakhouse has returned to serving its signature dry-aged prime beef steaks.

The fine dining restaurant recently reopened at 165 S. Post St., in what’s known as the Joel Building. It closed in July 2008 when it was damaged by a fire that stared in the Dorian’s photo business next door.

Owner Bill Alles said in a news release that he took the advice of customers and created a less formal dining room as the restaurant was rebuilt.

The menu still includes the signature top sirloin, rib-eye, porterhouse and filet mignon steaks that are dry-aged in the restaurant’s coolers. Steak entrees start at $24 and include garlic mashed potatoes, vegetables and fresh-baked bread.

There is a private dining room that can seat 49.

Churchill’s also has a downstairs bar with a more casual atmosphere and less expensive fare, including steak sliders, burgers, shrimp scampi, steamed clams and steak bites. Both menus are available on the Churchill’s Web site, www.churchillssteakhouse.com.

The restaurant is planning grand opening specials April 5-9.

Hours are 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 4 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Reservations may be made by calling (509) 474-9888.
