Rib 'N Beef
Rib 'N Beef's cute name belies the fine-dining ambiance found inside its hardwood- and stone-accented interior. Winner of six consecutive "Wine Spectator" magazine awards, the restaurant focuses on simple slabs of USDA prime-grade beef ,only lightly seasoned to highlight the flavor of the beef itself. Cuts include New York-cut sirloin, filet mignon, rib-eye cuts and milk-fed veal. If you like more surf and less turf, try their seafood menu boasting fresh Atlantic fish and shellfish.
