A long-running Forest Hills steakhouse with a classic menu mix of strip steak, skirt steak, and steakhouse sides, plus a full bar for celebratory dinners. It’s best when you order traditionally—one prime cut, one side, and one starter—because execution can swing, but the room still draws locals for occasions and late dinners.
Must-Try Dishes:
NY Strip Steak, Skirt Steak, French Onion Soup

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on nearby avenues; manageable on weeknights, tougher after 7pm on weekends. No valet reported.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy. Jeans are fine, but most diners lean polished for dinner.
Noise level: Moderate to lively during peak dinner hours; conversation is fine but not hushed.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: No wait typically (lunch service is quieter)
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited but workable—classic sides and a few non-meat starters can form a meal.
Vegan options: Very limited—best for sides-only dining; not a strong vegan destination.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free steak and side options; cross-contamination questions should be confirmed with staff.
Best For
Better for: Classic steakhouse ordering, big cuts, and celebratory group dinners without leaving Forest Hills.
Consider Alternatives If: You’re looking for precision dry-aging, modern steakhouse innovation, or strong vegetarian/vegan depth.
