    Old school service is friendly and efficient. On this Saturday evening a singer/guitarist was performing in the lounge, so we enjoyed the music during dinner. Tableside Caesar salad was excellent. Bucatini alla Vodka and New York steak were each served hot and perfectly prepared. Best place in the city to go for that special occasion.

    Besides the food being the best around…prime rib truly melts in your mouth …the employees there are such great human beings! This was my mom's and my favorite restaurant. This was my first time dining without her. But instead of a sad night, my waiter, Ashely, and the staff went above and beyond for me when I came in on one of their busiest nights to honor my late mother and best friend. The compassion and kindness Ashely and her manager Peter showed me was unbelievable!! They are wonderful human beings and showed me that there are still wonderful people in the world.
