Experience a classic American steakhouse with a more casual, yet equally impressive, grill counterpart. Known for its prime cuts and upscale ambiance, this establishment offers a robust menu perfect for any occasion. Whether you're seeking a perfectly cooked steak or a highly-rated burger, the consistent quality and extensive wine list make it a reliable choice.
The restaurant is celebrated for its American steakhouse fare, with a particular emphasis on its burgers, often described as among the best in the city. Dishes like the ribeye, prime rib, and sides such as waffle fries and creamed spinach are frequently recommended. The burger, made with dry-aged meat, is a standout, though its unique flavor may not appeal to everyone. The adjacent grill offers a more casual dining experience with the full menu and is noted for its walk-in policy and manageable wait times.
