Vernon's Steakhouse


The full speakeasy drill here; secret password and all that. We went with Devin & Deb for Dev's birthday. The majority verdict was excellent all around. Decor was great. Table furnishings top notch. Service excellent. Bone-in rib eye: Peg says the best she's had. Veal Marsala for Devin, which he loved. Surf & Turf for Deb...again thumbs up. My filet mignon was pretty (in fact, gorgeous), but not a lot going on in the taste department.

All in all, it felt like a fine dining experience should and the cost was commensurate. Somewhat north of $300 for the table. The layout of the room is a bit eccentric. Ell-shaped, which puts the piano man out of sight for a good portion of the room. Ambient noise is high. Again the service was excellent. Attentive without being overbearing.
