Well, they did everything right, because today - more than 75 years later - it's still going strong. It's established itself as the best of the best, and we don't disagree.
The atmosphere is upscale but comfortable.

Take your pick from all the classics, each one guaranteed to be just as juicy, fresh and perfect as the last. Our personal favorite is the prime rib... mostly. But then there's the ribeye... and the filet mignon. Hmm.
