I have very low hopes for any steakhouse that has to employ sneeze guards for their food. Anything with an "all you can eat" motif tends to fall pretty far down on the list too.

For the "higher end" steakhouse, I find Queue de Cheval in Montreal to be overpriced, loud, and obnoxious. The quality of the meat is just not what I'd expect given that you're paying on average $60 for just the steak itself, with no sides. Nor can they seem to cook to order, and in my experience they tend to over-salt the meat before putting it on the grill.
