Description

Nothing has changed at the mildly English House of Prime Rib since the '40s, and that's just the way we like it.

(There's a daily fresh fish, for the meat-averse.) It's a square meal in the square surroundings: tasty and reassuring.

The signature chopped salad comes first, dressed at your table in a spinning bowl with a thin pink dressing poured from on... More »
