True steak houses, not those with minor menu mention, have again hit the taste buds of many restaurant patrons … Not that steak sales are down, but dining spots that concentrate on them seem to give the meat added attention.

Like two that opened in this area and are making their presence known … Johnny’s Italian Steakhouses, Farmington Hills (Hamilton Court between 12 Mile and Farmington Road) … and Livonia (in the Holiday Inn on Laurel Park Drive) … Both had openings in 2018 with the same menus of which they consider to be like those of the one-time, years ago Rat Pack-era of Las Vegas … Both are celebrating their first anniversaries, creating a lot of noise from steak chompers.
