The service was excellent, the food was amazing. Both my husband and I sat eating our steaks with big smiles planted on our faces in astonishment due to how delicious they were, we had never had steaks like that before and I doubt anything will trump them till we return one day. We stayed in LA for a week and... More

Like stepping back in time, one expects to see Detective Phillip Marlow deep in thought, organizing his deshelved notes while occupying one of the white tableclothed booths. A very unique dining experience, the main dining room in an actual passenger railroad dining car from lthe early 20th century. The wait staff is very old school attentive and the food is... More

We went to this restaurant prior to a matinee on Saturday. We have mixed feelings about this place. It is historic, and the atmosphere is great, in a old boxcar sitting there since 1921. The bar area is fun. The food is good, but the breakfast is the reason to come. We got lunch, and were disappointed. The food was... More

You smell the history in the walls. I am into it. Its original, but not for me... The steak that was on ceasars salad was not up to what they were known to serve... don't even recommend to our clients from Japan anymore. At one time, this place was a hit for them. More

It is old school and on the expensive side. But if you are looking for a place for a business meeting where you can actually have a private conversation in a quiet relaxing environment, it is the best. Especially great for a breakfast meeting. I'm surprised to read the reviews which talk about poor service. I have always had wonderful... More

Title says it all. Plus if you're into eating Prime beef cooked to perfection this is your place. I thought that the wine selections were a bit pricey. More
