The
Atmosphere
As you
enter the well-worn historic bar, chances are you'll have to
grapple your way through a gauntlet of bonhomous businessmen and
smugly proprietary regulars. The vaguely Teutonic main dining
room is a clattering, wood-beamed, brass-accented party room
replete with enough New York characters to populate a Woody
Allen film. Don't expect genteel treatment or fine points of
service here--you won't even get a menu.
The
Food
The steaks
are dry-aged, tender and oozing with flavor. If you are in a
communal mood, try the porterhouse, which can be shared by two,
three or four. It arrives on a giant white platter, cooked to
order, in a pond of its own juices. Fist-thick lamb chops are
exceptionally tender and mild, too.
