Given its proximity to the Ritz Charlton and its association with it I had high expectations.
For the most part I was very pleased.
Decore: The Shore Club is decorated in a dark modern style that many steakhouses today mimic. Nothing special or unique, but well put together.
Service: The service was just right. Polite, courteous and timely without being too doding.
Food: possibly the freshest tasting crab cakes I have had in this city. They tasted as if they were made to order. The steak, sides and deserts were on par with what one would expect from such an establishment.
Beverages: A healthy selection of wines and spirits along with a interesting assortment of traditional and modern mixologist style cocktails.
The price: 3 courses + drinks worked out to between $100-150/person but was well worth it.
Where it feel apart: If your going to have a dress code, Eenforce it! Nothing takes away from a great dining experience like being smartly dressed and having two people in football jerseys sat next to you. Or to walk to your table only to spot a few people wearing baseball caps. Its an automatic deduction to what I feel I should be spending and knocked a full star off this review.
Would I go back. Yes. Will I continue to for my more expensive and/or special outings should those visits result in the same complaint: no.
