"It is not cheating on steakhouses if the burger starts it."
The steak
The steak is good and hearty, though the menu keeps trying to distract you with other great decisions.
Sides and apps
Italian-American support system is strong. This place wins by depth chart.
Drinks
Easy, reliable, and perfect for a night that becomes longer than planned.
Service
Busy but warm, with the kind of rhythm that makes a packed room feel manageable.
Vibes
Lively, familiar, and blessedly free of anyone explaining dry aging for sport.
Final verdict
A fringe steakhouse candidate with major utility-player value.
