Fodor's Expert Review The Golden Steer Steakhouse

In a town where restaurants come and go almost as quickly as visitors' cash, the longevity of this steak house, which opened in 1958, is itself a recommendation. Both locals and visitors adore the classic atmosphere with red-leather seating, polished dark wood, and stained-glass windows for the huge slabs of well-prepared meat. Steak, prime rib, lamb chops, Dover sole, and Italian classics such as veal parmigiana and chicken of the angels are particularly popular, as are tableside preparations of Caesar salad, bananas foster, and cherries jubilee. Some of the booths are reputed to be the same ones where Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and other members of the Rat Pack—not to mention some infamous mobsters—used to sit.
