It was mediocre. We had a late lunch there on a weekday. For the price point the food was nothing special. Paid over $100 for a few mozzarella sticks, a sandwich and a burger, and two beers. We lunched at JG Melon two days later and it was half the price for basically the same thing. The service was glacial even though we were one of only two in the restaurant, the server was actively ignoring us. No A/C in June, dark and kind of dingy atmosphere. Maybe we came on a bad day. I get the "old school" NYC thing, but still scratching my head over the hype.

Looking at the picture I believe says enough. Was put outside as the inside of the restaurant was pretty full. Ordered a hamburger and this tiny sorry fella came out. Think it's ridiculous for the price you pay vs the size and quality

Incredible and underrated local spot. This is authentic old school New York City. Maureen and the staff are fantastic, the drinks are strong, food is delicious and the atmosphere is incredible. Great spot to go with friends but also the perfect type of place to go alone, sit at the bar, and being among friends. One of my favorites.

I've eaten here a few times--gotten the turkey club, cobb salad, pork chops, and burger. The food is generally really good--especially the pork chops. What puts this place over the top to five stars, though, is the ambiance and service. The bartender is super friendly and good and the staff are attentive. The place itself is like a step back to the 1950s...highly recommended.
one small issue: As one would expect for the location, prices are on the high end. A cobb salad is 30 dollars; pork chops around 40, club sandwich 25 or 26, burger 22.

Coming here for years on and off, so happy to see the same amazing staff and that they recognized and remembered me. Feels like home. Thank you and see you again soon.

The martini at a steakhouse came in the smallest martini glass I have ever seen. It was like a martini tea party. No bigger than a Dixie cup.

Great bartender.The food and the kitchen service were beyond mediocre. I can't even say like deli food because any deli would've been better. $$$ for nothing to show.Deceptive appearance. We got in for the NY vibe, and we left disappointed. What a pity for such a historic establishment.

You don't have to have the steak! All you need is your appetite!
Authentic NYC in a way the movies could not produce. Excellent no nonsense service and early modern ocean liner menu items that would be a challenge to find elsewhere.

Old school cool! Red tablecloths, black leather booths, active senior citizens & camaraderie, wholesome food, attentive servers, excellent vibe! Highlights were chilled gin martini glass, large pork chop with applesauce, homemade carrot cake, and apple pie were delicious! We must protect this establishment at all costs! We learned about it from an elderly acquaintance and we will be back!

Old school restaurant. Simple menu done well! We had a cheeseburger that came perfectly medium rare and the swiss cheese was so hot it dripped down the sides. The scrod was great! Nice and moist. It included two sides. So we took a salad and broccoli. Both were great. Loved the old style decor. Bathrooms were clean. Service was great.
