Food was very good. A nostalgic place with all old celebrities pictures on the wall Sofia Loren, Telly Savalas, etc. A classic steak house with classic entrees, drinks, and desserts. Located on the first floor. Handicapped parking available. All of our entrees were delicious. I would stop by again if I was in the area.
