"Enough is enough. Sometimes you don’t want to make a reservation months in advance, and you really don’t want your table covered in multiple forgettable small plates. You just want a giant steak and a martini for dinner. ALC is unstuffy and unpretentious—it feels like a classic steakhouse you’d expect to find in a film about a bunch of bankers on Wall Street. Most importantly, you can get a great ribeye here that serves as the perfect entrée after a round of escargot and grilled buffalo lamb chops." - nicolai mccrary
