Winter Warmer Steakhouse Dinner For Two
Feb 7 @ 3:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Winter Warming Steakhouse Dinner For Two

Delicious, comforting, and bountiful. Our Winter Warming series in January is a different Dinner For Two menu every week starting on each Friday. It’s available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery.

SEE MENU AND ORDER.

AND, each weekend our film archival department will suggest a movie to pair with your multi-course dinner.

 

This week’s suggested movie ROCKY, 1976 film nominated for nine Academy Awards and  winning film for Best Picture starring Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire.  Watch the trailer here.

Why Rocky? Because of the famous “meat tenderizing” scene with Burt Young.

Synopsis: A small-time Philadelphia boxer gets a supremely rare chance to fight the world heavyweight champion in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.
