I love this restaurant. Back in the day, you saw folks that had lived in Torrance for many years. You could go in and enjoy a smoke and a good meal. You still can enjoy the food. They have the most amazing Australian lobster tails, doesn't get any better than that. Prime rib is also excellent. more

I've been to this place a zillion times. It's got the red fake leather banquettes, the sparkly cottage cheese ceilings, the gold-flecked Formica tabletops with paper place mats, the scary, somewhat rude hostess with big hair, Iceberg salad, and...really good steak. The prime rib is juicy and delicious, the filet mignon is top-notch...try their Drunken Sam, the filet with eggplant,... more
