4 /5 Joyce Alonzo: Very Old school vibe : dark paneling, huge leather chairs, a menu that does not cater to trendy food, but sticks with the tried and true classics.
Looking for a special place to celebrate a familys birthday, new job and successful project launch, all in one night.
This spot was a unanimous pick.
Warm sourdough and rye slices of bread are served still warm with delicious pats of butter.
I got a New York steak, grilled medium rare - it had some slight chewiness and some gristle, but overall was fine.
Prime rib is a THICK CUT. Initially had planned to share with someone but got greedy. Comes with side of rice or sliced tomatoes (I find that odd) , plus mixed green salad with house-made dressing.
Everyone got a surf & turf combo - one got lobster tail , one with crab legs.
Seafood combo is stacked with crab legs, scallop and shrimp.
Our entire party of 4 went with Bleu cheese dressing for the salads- they do not skimp on the cheese here!
We opted for a dozen Blue Point RAW oysters. Also good but I wish they had kept the brine in the shell. Served with cocktail dressing, horseradish and wedge of lemon.
This spot is iconic, with nautical decor interiors plus a lot of aquariums.
Street parking is limited, but they have a private lot right across the street.(it was no charge & self park for us, no valet).
We got the baby butter noodles (No kids menu here). The other option was a grilled cheese sandwich.
Cocktails seemed very old school as well, I got a Lemon Drop and that was delicious! I could have had three of them , lol.
