But there’s no better atmosphere for tucking into the dry-aged tender sirloin, fiery steak au poivre, or porcini-rubbed Delmonico. Standard steakhouse sides (creamed spinach, potatoes au gratin) are served à la carte, and the 400-bottle wine list is well priced, with a few special glasses available daily.
