| - Last night was my 2nd time dining here, and it was glorious. Starting the night off by walking in through the kitchen always reminds me of GoodFellas, and that's a good thing. I happen to like the old school signage / decor, it adds character to a restaurant that has been in the same spot for 60+ years.
They were busy, so it took a while to get drink / appetizer orders, but it wasn't unreasonable. The only appetizer we got was the spinach-artichoke dip, and it was one of the best I've had. My wife, my muse, got the wedge salad and it was fresh and also delicious. I shared the 48 oz. porterhouse with my friend, and let me say that when a hunk of meat that big comes to the table you have to just appreciate the art that it takes to cook it so perfectly. We got the mushrooms and the potatoes au gratin on the side, which were ideal compliments.
After getting the rest of what we couldn't finish to go, the waiter recommended the strawberry shortcake. We were all full, but the four of us split - and was quite possibly one of the finest and tastiest desserts ever. The only drawback, in my opinion, are the tiny, outdated bathrooms - but that's not a dealbreaker. This is not a cheap night out, but if you have a friend in town and want a great steakhouse, this place can't be beat!
