I completely understand why this place is such an institution. After missing the reservation at another restaurant, we decided to come to Moishe's on a Friday night even though we did not have a reservation. Thankfully, there was a table for two available and we were seated right away.
The vibe in the restaurant just screams old school class minus the fussy.Our server was amazing. Since we weren't too hungry, we asked for the filet mignon to be half portions and he did that beautifully. We also got the chopped liver and monte carlo potatoes to share. They give you a lot of food to start so if you don't have a huge appetite, I'd suggest half portioning the steaks like we did so that you can be perfectly stuffed.
I'm definitely looking forward to trying their dry-aged steaks next time.
