    Server was nice but was gone for decent stretches. I’ve been to many steakhouses but this was more expensive than most and we were squeezed between tables. Now I can I’ve been there, would try something else the next time in town.

    Always like coming here and feeling a bit of the history of the place. And, who can pass up the shrimp cocktail, which never disappoints. This occasion had me taking some out-of-state family relatives who had never been or had the shrimp cocktail experience for dinner before the sweet sixteen games. Seemed to be a good time had by all. Service was impeccable as always.

    Old school steakhouse with all the memorabilia on the walls(photos of celebrities, historic biildings and occasional sport motifs). Bigger than expected with multiple rooms. I suspect it truly caters to the repeat steak lover, with excellent regular and aged cuts offered with large baked potato and soup or tomato juice. Additional Sides and salads available. Old fashioned was good, house cab blend respectable. Would go back with another couple and linger longer in one of the quieter spaces next time.
