A classic steakhouse. Gabby and Evelyn were fantastic. Food was perfect. There’s a reason the place has been around for >70 years ❤️ Ask for a side of fresh horseradish to go with the creamy, it takes it up a notch.

We went for our anniversary dinner, food was phenomenal, we made reservations ahead of time and got a good seat, since we signed up for their club on their website in advance we received a free bottle of wine for our special night. Highly recommend the cowboy steak, creamed spinach, cesar salad & baked potato! Don't forget the dessert cart!

I’m a pretty tough grader and I will say the food was really good . Our server Peter was good was a little weeded but it is Saturday night . Overall the ambiance is a white trash’s dream 1960s chic. One of the best steaks I’ve had in a few years .

The food is super good I recommend everything I ate, as you can see in the photos, the waiter super cool ten out of ten, although the temperature of the meat was wrong, I mean the end of one they put another, I know it was a mistake on the part of the kitchen the waiter tried to cook it again but we had a plane almost about to take off that we had to take, but anyway the waiter gave us a discount and everything was perfect

Best prime rib ever. Top sirloin with Bernaise sauce - delicious. Wedge. Add on of three stuffed shrimp. Crème brûlée for desert. Oldest steakhouse has the best steak. History and great food. Too bad I didn’t take pics of the actual food because excited to eat.

First off, Nick was incredible. The food was superb. The steak was cooked perfectly. The price point is so balanced that me and my partner almost wanna make it a regular spot even though we live all the way in Connecticut. The vibe was so on point that we are daydreaming about retirement days when we could but a condo and come back to become actual regulars. As a fellow bartender- the staff sure handles some difficult clientele- and does so with a lot of class and patience. More than I have that’s for damn sure. Bar was busy but Nick had it under control. Patience is a virtue- we had waited a while to get served at first but it was worth the wait. 10/10 would take a flight just to dine here again.

From salad to dinner to dessert, excellent service and delicious food. Two wait staff per table who pay great attention to customers drinks, and all that is necessary. Had (3) Maine lobster tails that were grilled perfectly, while husband had a NY strip that was exactly as ordered. Overall great place for dinner!

Traditional steakhouse with a mellow Florida vibe. Nice quiet piano player. Friendly and efficient staff. It's packed for a reason...they do it right. We had fantastic prime rib, scallops, escargot, Ceasars, martinis, and a nice bottle of wine. Just a 5 star experience from start to finish! Make a reservation, you won't be disappointed. We will be back!
