Al's Restaurant offers a great atmosphere and quick service. The intimate dining experience is 5-star, with delicious food, including a stand-out Caesar salad. Prices may be high, with a $50 reservation fee and an $800 bill for a group of four. Despite this, the staff is friendly and attentive, and dietary restrictions are accommodated. Must-try dishes include steak and lobster, and the fresh-made table-side Caesar salad. The restaurant has a rich history, dating back to the early 1900s, with connections to famous visits and its reputation as a top-tier steakhouse. The ambiance is dim and elegant, featuring accents of wood and art that pay homage to the classic upscale steakhouse style. The bar, made from reclaimed riverboat wood, adds charm and fun to the experience. Guests praise the slower pace dining, attention to detail, and special menu items like the tableside Caesar salad, which is delicious. The NY strip is often described as perfection, and the seabass with shrimp sauce is highly recommended. Sharing Italian ice cream and learning about its special ingredient adds to the memorable evening. Reservations are a must to ensure freshness and avoid overpriced, thawed food common elsewhere. Overall, Al's is a wonderful place, loaded with history, and well worth visiting for a special, memorable night.
