The New York steak was super delicious! The Creme Brûlée was also very yummy. The staff came out and sang Happy Birthday for my husband’s special dinner. The service was stellar, rare these days!

This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Step back into the past with a farm-to-table throwback menu, classic soda fountain, wait staff in era appropriate garb, and of course a mind blowing collection of orchestrias. Great spot for a date night, particularly before catching a play at one of the two theaters literal steps away.

I didn’t realize that it’s actually within the Doubletree hotel if that’s the hotel at the Prune Yard. No one was there. According to two servers, they didn’t have our reservation or at least there wasn’t a manager to confirm. We were the only customers until later in the evening. They looked like hotel customers were coming in, sitting at the bar and the outside fire pit so we had the servers to ourselves. They were very personable, helpful & friendly. The food was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I was with three other people. We had a really nice time and it was for my birthday last month, but getting together with friends to celebrate.
