I absolutely agree about the 'lava hot' platters making the meat after the first slice a very expensive disappointment. The best single piece of meat I ever had was at the old Manny Wolf's---so good, when you think about it, that I can i.d. it as the best single steak in my life. Much like the single best wine...but how tough is it to say that about meat? Morton's was a 9-10 compared to Lugar's...and Sparks was almost that good. The service was almost outright rude at Lugar's as well...all in all a less than swell evening.
Pros: Hmmm, Old 'charm'
Cons: Dry, tough meat, Rude service, Williamsburg
