My guess is that a high-end steak house will have a way to get a high quality halal product from their purveyors and probably do it occasionally. Let us know how it goes!
Although there is no indication that sadiqhassan's chosen restaurant s a high-end steakhouse, I really like this idea of asking them if they can provide a halal steak. If they can't, it could be the intro to asking them if you could provide your own.
If the restaurant is a high-end steakhouse, then I wouldn't bother with bringing your own if they can't provide it. It is the source of the meat that makes a steakhouse high-end. As others have suggested, the skill of running a high-end steakhouse is in the selection and treatment of the meat before cooking, not in the cooking.
