Double D Steak

Horrible service made reservations and still had to wait for a table. We waited over 30 minutes to get drinks also over and hour to get our meal. We will defiantly not coming back anytime soon!

Went to Double D’s for my birthday had surf and turf special yum. Warm bread at start of meal very nice touch boyfriend had prime rib. He was happy seasoned well and good size portion. Brought my own wine (we’re from Sonoma county) green glass didn’t effect the experience. I actually enjoyed all the color on the table. It was nice going someplace that didn’t fall into your typical steak house décor. Next time I’m up this way this will definitely be one of my stops

I have been in the hospitality industry for over 30 years. The food here is horrible! Tastes like everything is from a can. McDonalds has better bbq sauce! Horrible ! Will never be back. Get a clue people!

I hate leaving a negative review. However I really feel like we got ripped off. So here it goes…
First off you get a antipasto plate.
2 pieces of celery, 2 pieces of salami, 2carrot sticks, 4 little cubes of cheese.
Just seems pointless. Then before a salad you get a ravioli plate to share. I honestly wondered where I had tasted it before and question whether it comes from a can. Then you get soup. Beef vegetable with potato. We simply did not eat it, no point.
It reminded of something you might see in a soup kitchen.
After that we got our salads… Super weird you get salad after all that. I will say the salad was good, it was fresh. Then arrives our plates. I ordered filet mignon with veggies. In my experience veggies means a few kinds sautéed or something. It was a pile of zucchini with the exact same ravioli sauce on it. Then my filet was SO SALTY. It was just tons of salt with no other season to it. I will say to their credit it was cooked well.
Both tables around us were complaining to each other about the food. It’s incredibly over priced. Just felt like such a waste of money. Our waitress was good and we tipped appropriately seeing as how it’s not her fault.

The place just evolved it’s bomb, and no kidding , you go there now you will not be Disappointed, trust me I live here, it is kick ass and very calming and great interior Rustic with class, this is a Fortuna Humboldt, must do bar fine dinning in shorts jeans just be clean, it’s all good great great food nuf said

Deb is incredible! Homey restaurant, we will walk around and talk to her guests. You know you’re in good hands. One thing is for sure, you’ll never go home hungry! Bread, raviolis, antipasto, soup and salad before dinner even hits the table! Steak is well seasoned, not over cooked and the chicken cordon blue is delicious!

A friend has been raving about Double D Steakhouse so since the husband and I were heading south around dinner time we finally were able to give them a shot.
We ordered drinks – my husband had a delicious Deloach Zin and I had my usual grey goose. We both laughed a bit at the wine glass which was a light green in color. Unfortunately, that makes the wine look brown. We are wine snobs, I will admit, but the green plus the small size of the glass can affect how the wine is enjoyed.
We didn’t order any appetizers since the menu shows how much you get with your dinner. I ordered the filet, medium rare and he ordered Steak Oscar, which is a filet with crab on top. It also had a sauce which he very much enjoyed. I always worry about steaks coming the way I ask and it did. The negative on the plate was both of our vegetables. His came with asparagus which were super crunchy. I picked the vegetable instead of a starch for my side and it was brussel sprouts. They were steamed with parmesan on top. No flavor here either. I had to add S&P.
Backing up here a bit – the meal started off with a small loaf of bread delivered on a board with a knife. The bread was good, warm and nice and soft. We also received an antipasto plate which had 2 celery sticks, 2 carrot sticks, 4 little squares of cheese (cheddar and swiss), 4 slices of salami and 2 little pepperoncinis. Next they brought some raviolis to share. We were both very underwhelmed with these. They were cheese, but really quite flavorless and the marinara lacked any real flavor and seemed to me like it came out of a jar. These actually reminded me of the frozen raviolis you can get in the little frozen meals. We didn’t finish them.
The dinner includes soup and salad. The soup was a brothy beef vegetable. Nothing extra great about it. The salad was fresh and good.
Everything came out pretty quick and our server was friendly. The staff seems to get along well – which I could determine from our close proximity to the wait station.
One thing that I found didn’t add to our experience was the choice of music. It was like 70’s and 80’s hits (like Aerosmith, Abba and Queen.) Don’t get me wrong, I like that music but it would be better in the bar but not the dining room.
The prices were very reasonable for steak dinners. I think my filet was $ 30. Our total bill before tip was $ 86.

We had dinner here on a recent visit and it was quite lovely. It was busy the night we went, but we found the staff very attentive to us and our food preferences. I had the steelhead and it was some of the best fish I’ve ever tasted. Yummy! My guy had a steak and he enjoyed it. What would have made it better is that he ordered it medium rare and like another reviewer mentioned it was barely rare. So, they need to tighten up on that. I would have sent the steak back if it had been served to me that way. But my guy was hungry and didn’t want to wait and then have to eat alone. Misstep for a steak house. They should know better!

Love it. Your tab can end up a little pricey but you definitely get your moneys worth. I love that they serve you antipasti, bread, soup, raviolis and salad all before dinner. The drinks are good and the plates of food are good sized portions. I had the filet minon and it was delicious. I recommend it for a nice night out.

Update
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a critique about the food at Double D in Fortuna. I wanted to share that I got a PM from the owner acknowledging my critique and assuring me that they would take steps to improve. She also offered me a gift certificate so that I would give than another try.
I must say that I am very impressed that my opinion and the time I took out to express my opinion was valued and acknowledged! I just wanted to give kudos for that! And I WILL be giving them another try!

I really liked the atmosphere. But I had the Steak Oscar i asked for medium rare and bearly got rare. I also had the Mac n Cheese the cheese sauce had no flavor. Over all the whole meal needed lost of salt. Also got food poisoning.

Good service and lots of food. The steak was good but the chicken was not the best. Would definitely recommend it!

Did not enjoy my experience. We had reservations for 8pm and had to sit and wait for maybe 45++. It was so busy and extremely loud ! Our server lacked any personality and frankly was a little disgruntled. The food was NOT good… Their salami appetizer was so sad. The soup ?? Oh my goodness was so awful. Has zero flavor. I like the idea of having different courses. But I think they are so busy and trying to prepare so much food, that the quality is really lacking. I ordered then Filet with blue cheese sauce … Almost zero blue cheese. I had really high hopes. But unfortunately it all just fell flat. Won’t be going there again.

Was so happy. Hidden gem for sure! Husband has been twice before and said his meals have been great. We had a party of 6 sat in the bar. Was waited on fast and our meal was seriously amazing. Would rather come here then a big chain restaurants

Second visit in 3 months. Both times the kitchen could not cook the steak medium. I left without a meal and my husband got to eat ribs. Nice bartender (Tabitha), but she couldn’t makeup for a poor cook. So sad.

Went here about a month ago and can’t say enough. The building doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside is warm and inviting. The staff were polite and attentive. The food was amazing! Between my steak and my boyfriends small pasta dish we had another meal dfor the following day. We will definitely be going back

Made reservations still had a bit of a wait. I had the pasta primavera which was very good. My husband had the salmon. We had to send his salmon back because it was raw. However they fixed it and he enjoyed it. Service was not very good but the food was yummy.

No reservations unless 6 people, so showed up at 8:15
Seated promptly by attentive staff. Dinner coarses were presented in a timely manner.
Food was pretty good. I had stuffed sole.
It seems that owners are trying to recreate something of the old Parlatos restaurant that occupied this building for decades. (plate of ravioli, soup and salad, ect) Which was a full dinner, not the al cart shake down of recent interlopers to this building.
Prices reasonable. Menu is diversified to accomodate non beef eaters with fish, chicken and pasta. Vegans might want to call for specifics. These local folks need our patronage while they fine tune their operation.

I’m so happy that Debbie opened this wonderful Steak House. My family loves good locally grown beef & I love my fish. We all were very satisfied with our amazing meals. This restaurant has gone through a few different owners in the past but I feel Debbie understands what Fortuna needs & wants, she has created a warm & friendly environment. Make reservations for this place is only going to get more popular. Check out the bar menu, lots I fun drinks to start out your meal or if your like me, order a local beer.

Most excellent service! We were seated right away. The servers were professional and vert pleasant. Food came out quickly and tasted delicious!
