The restaurant is located near Union Square which is just a short trip from Times Square. The outside is relatively unassuming but the food is so unbelievably good. The ambiance is interesting as it is decorated with old pin up girl pictures, nothing too risque by today's standards but I'm sure they caused a stir back in the early 1900's when they were taken.

We started with their Lobster Bisque - out of this world. And for our main course we ordered one of the specials for the day, Bone In Rib Eye for Two, which is the second best beef I've ever eaten and that's saying a lot. (The best is in Argentina) For sides we had their famous black truffle creamed spinach which I could have made a whole meal out of and goose fat potatoes which were great!

We had to change our reservation twice because we were stuck in traffic and they were very accommodating. And then we were still late and they still held a table for us. Then we only had an hour to eat before the show and they got it all in with such remarkable service that we never felt rushed but we were never waiting either.
All in all the food was great, the ambiance was great, the service was outstanding, and the price was not bad considering, less than what we expected. If you like steak and are in NYC and don't eat here then you're seriously missing out.
