    We had an amazing dinner! The filet mignon was cooked to perfection and the service was terrific. We were fortunate to get Aaron as our waiter. He has been there for 51 years! The entire experience was perfect!

    The kitchen has certainly upped their game! The steak exceeded our expectation’s. Robert our server was attentive and fun. Took exceptional care of us! Mark the little maître D runs a tight ship and I wouldn’t even use it but it’s can’t wait to return!

    Little has changed other than the prices over the last 40 years plus of this venerable Baltimore institution . That of course, is both a blessing for the regular patrons who value little change and a curse for those who eat at competitive restaurants and see a facility stuck in time as it gets lapped by newer entrance into the market. The contributed capital from the landlord in order to induce a lease renewal was just about invisible.

    The quality of the steaks and the flavor was great but my son and I both ordered our steaks (filet for him and strip for me) medium rare but when they came out, his was very rare and mine was pretty medium. We didn't complain but you would think a steak house would be very exact when prepping their main thing.
