Roosevelt Prime Steakhouse is located in the heart of Shanghai’s old French Concession, tucked away off the street at 160 Taiyuan Lu, beside the Marshall Mansion Boutique Hotel. The steakhouse, with its velvet curtains, dark wood paneling and leather seating provides a luxurious alternative to Shanghai’s contemporary dining scene but added to the the background music and cowboy pictures on the wall, its all a bit "over the top". With that said, while dining here, ...you will enjoy some of the most delicious steaks in Shanghai.

Creative starters or the classic Caesar salad are prepared tableside while steaks are imported from Chicago with the finest USDA certified Natural Black Angus and prime selections served. Steaks are big with thick cuts all 16ozs (448g) or more that include filet mignon, New York Strip, marbled bone-in Ribeye or a real prime-aged Porterhouse. To some, spending ¥1,250 on a steak, no matter how delicious it may taste, is rediculous. At Roosevelt, the steak in question is a 28-day-aged Porterhouse 672g steak. While that price will make many choke, there are cheaper cuts, starting from the 227g filet mignon, at ¥300. But the best, as with the Porterhouse, are expensive because they are USDA Prime and flown in freshly chilled. Others in this category include an ¥875 bone-in Rib-Eye, or the ¥650 448g rib eye (one person often can't eat more than 448g of steak). Each is marbled with fat, cut thick, and cooked expertly. If your obsession is with good meat, you should save up. For an alternative, the kitchen serves other favorites; such as: roasted rack of lamb, grilled salmon steaks, roasted chicken, and whole roasted sea bass.
