Times Description

It’s true that not much has changed about this restaurant since it’s founding in this location in 1938, attesting to that old chestnut about not fixing things that aren’t broken. And nothing’s broken here; everything is running like a well-oiled machine in the service of a concept that can be summed up in two words: prime rib. Of course there are other options, but the prime rib is really what most people are after, and the choice of five cuts, cooked in a fancy, roving silver cart at your table, amounts to a consistently good meal every time. All the courses begin with the spinning salad presentation, where the server daringly blends before your eyes the dressing with the rest – always a showstopper. As for sides, the creamed corn is near-legendary and the Yorkshire pudding gets accolades too. The setting, with lush patterned carpet and dark wood interior, is as old fashioned as the staff’s brown uniforms, but the perennial wait for a table means the loyal throngs aren’t looking for a trendy experience, even in Beverly Hills with Cut and Mastro’s so close by. 

TIPS: Make reservations and even then, expect a wait – but at least there are complimentary meatballs and potato chips to pass the time. It’s great for groups, and if you have a birthday to celebrate, you’ll get a free song and a slice of English trifle.

    A lot of people love this place and although I have no negatives it doesn't compare to the other steak houses within a few blocks. I felt this was more like...
