I enjoyed two visits to this famous restaurants, once in the 1970's when the decor was all white, and more recently when it has become even more refined and distinguished. My pecan crusted halibut was delicious. The service on both visits was truly wonderful. The entire room and bar comprise an elegant and inviting supper club. The locals come here... more
