  Yes the crowd is older, but the service and food were excellent.  Wine prices reasonable, they make their own breads.  Older decor but very clean and in good shape.

  The number of really good sit down restaurants in Fond du Lac are limited.  This reminds me of  a realy old fashion steak lounge.  The interior lighting is dim with lots of dark wood and a fireplace.  
  
  Went without reservation, was promptly seated and overall service was attentive.  
  
  Menu has good selection of steaks and other American cuisine.  I ordered baked french onion soup, prime rib and dessert.  The soup was  thick rich broth, a bit salty with the normal submerged crouton and goozy cheese on top.  They also give you a complimentary loaf of their cheddar garlic bread.  Pretty average.  Side salad had a nice mix of lettuce and dressing was homemade and excellent.  The prime rib was described as well seasonsed and cooked to perfection.  I found it cooked well but lacked that deep prime rib rub taste.  The au jus was necessary to add some salt.  The meat was tender and wasnt to overly fatty like some places.  I had steamed broccoli as my side and it was wonderful.  Dessert was pretty average chocolate cake.
  
  Overall it was a pleasant and good dining experience - not phenomenol but better than most of the other restaurants in the area.

  Excellent straightforward steak completely unadulterated and very reasonably priced. Excellent service by Sue.  We found the place by random google maps search when traveling to Milwaukee.  We are not from the area so it was complete luck of the draw...lucky us it was just what we needed after too many burgers.

  I've really never understood the draw to this place.  The food is ok, but for a place calling itself a steakhouse the steak is really pretty ordinary.  Even the lesser of the steakhouses in any major city are head and shoulders above what you can get at Sebastian's.  If I can make a better steak at home, what is the point of going to a steakhouse?  For "fine" dining in FDL I'd say Theo's is your choice, not Sebastian's.

  Sebastian's is an old-school steak house that definitely caters to "older" clientele (helloooo early bird special).  Upon entering is a large cocktail room/bar where you can have a few beverages before being seated.  Oddly enough, you cannot choose to eat in this room.
  
  The dining area is dimly lit and finished in dark wood.  Service was pretty quick, I never felt I was waiting for a dish to arrive.  The wine selection is pretty decent, they had several Cab's for me to choose from.  I ordered the Sebastian's Special (12oz choice sirloin, medium) with a baked potato and a house salad.
  
  The dressing for the salad was homemade and was one of the best house-italian's I've ever had.  The steak was pretty good, but not great.  Parts of it were a bit on the rare side for me, while others were on the medium/well side.  Also, there were a couple instances where I found a chunks of gristle in the meat, something I wasn't expecting from a USDA choice steak.  The potato was...a standard baked potato.  
  
  I'd probably go back, but I may try to find another local joint to compare it to first.
