Best Roast Beef sandwich!
Gene McCarthy's - the kind of place where you can forget your wallet on the table and come back the next day to pick it up. Thank you Margo and All!!!
Incredibly tasty roll for a beef on Weck! The service was outstanding for beer, orders, and our food. Hope to be back sooner rather than later.
