DirectionsReserve

What to get

  • Dry-aged ribeye (locals rave about it with truffle butter)
  • Dry-aged NY strip
  • Three Martini Lunch: three 2-oz martinis with a steak sandwich or hot dog (Thu–Sat 11 am–4 pm)

When to go

Thu–Sat 11 am–4 pm for the Three Martini Lunch deal; it's open from 11 am daily.

Insider tip

Locals pick it over Bourbon for consistency ('I go usually once a month'); service and the wine list get the raves. The seafood-focused sibling Halls Catch placed 2nd for Best Seafood in the 2025 readers' poll.

Heads up

A minority of Reddit diners report inconsistent steaks; TripAdvisor is middling (4.0 from 74 reviews).
