Excellent food but very noisy. My baked potato was almost cold but the steak was perfectly cooked.
Our waiter was not a happy guy today. My baked potato was not hot,In a steak house, why must you ask for steak sauce!!
Old school steak house bar and restaurant. Great food, great prime rib, and Australian lobster tail. The atmosphere is classic. Plus, they have karaoke night! Can't go wrong. Must have reservations.
Wonderful atmosphere and insanely good steak! I recommend the ribeye with baked potato and chocolate cake or carrot cake..bartender and staff are like family to you. The red elegant leather booths are so huge and Sinatra-like. The bar is my favorite to eat at. Like stepping back in time to a more relaxed vibe. This place is so welcoming and warm! The steak, my god the steak! So good you will eat the fat and lick the plate! Great bar and easy to get lost in here talking to just about anyone! Highly recommend.
Very good
We started with a dirty vodka martini in celebration of our anniversary. There was no skipping on the vodka in that drink! Delicious meal. I had the filet and my boyfriend had the rib-eye. Both were cooked to perfection. The salad was just lettuce with a slice of tomato but the dressings were delicious. I had balsamic & my boyfriend had ranch. We shared a piece of cheesecake for dessert. No plate during this meal was left unclean. They almost looked licked clean. The meal was that good!
Place is very dated and not in a charming way. The food is average and does not deserve the title of having great steaks. Just an average place..nothing special.
Awesome quality and charming old school feel we’ll be back for sure! 😍
Great local spot with a heavy rotation of regular customers. Good beer, great servers, and I was quite happy with my Spaghetti and Meatballs with the garlic toast. I wasn’t feeling steak when I sat down, but the guy next to me ordered it, and it looked and smelled delicious! The bread and butter they give you is a meal in itself. Looking forward to my next visit!
Best food ever!!! All of it!! It can get very loud in there but it's worth it!

Overall probably one of the best prime ribs you'll ever get for the price.
I stopped in at 6 on a Thursday evening. Although the place was packed, I didn't have to wait long and the service attention was just right - not hovering but checking in as needed. I had the Franciscan cut off prime rib and it was a big one. The au jus comes on the plate with the steak and is served with a mild horse radish sauce and a spicy grated horse radish per your taste.
The prime rib wasn't the best I've ever eaten, flavor wise, but for the price I've never had one that good. Absolute perfect medium rare from the center to 1/8th inch from the edge. Oh and if you like sour dough bread they've got some nice round buns that I liked the hell out of. Chewy crust, soft inside, just a hint of that signature sour bite to it.
Mine was $48 plus tip for dinner. I'm 6'4 and it was more than enough to fill up and take some with the bread to go.

Really good food and cocktails in a 1970’s decor. Low priced for what you get - large portions and most dinners come with potato & soup or salad. I had jumbo fried shrimp. Was savory- Garlic or horseradish may have been in the mix. I Definitely recommend. Was busy. Glad we had a reservation.
