Review: Dinner for 2 at Historic Atlantic City Steakhouse, Great Value

Founded by Forms Mayor William Riddle and Politician Louis Kuehnle As A Private Men’s Club with a Notorious “Lange,” It Thrived During Prohibion ​​Under the Protection of Political Boss Nucky Unil a Federal Raid forces closa.

In 1927, The Latz Family Reopened It As A Public Restaurant, Welcoming Stars like Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope.

AFTER A BRIEF CLUSE IN THE LATE ’90S, The Doughery Family-Who Also Own the Local Seafood Restaurant Dock’s Oyster House-Restored the Restaurant and Brought Back Its Project-Era Charm.

If you have been to try the Knife and Fork Inn, you might have to book your table Well ahead of time. We tried to book Our Table About a Week in Advance and Ended Up Security a Table for Two at 8:30 pm, which is slightly later than my dins.

The Restaurant, Who Had the Feel of A Classic Inn or Tavern, was filled with People Waiting for Tables or Dining in One of MANY DINING Rooms.

Each Dining Room Exuded A Cozy, Historic Charm, Enhanced by Vaulted Ceilings, stylish chandeliers, stained-glass Windows, and murals that lineed the walls.

The menu offended traditional steakhouse at all like wedge salads and multiple different cuts of steak, ranging from Mignon to barrel-cut ribeye.

There are wello several non-stteak entrées on the menu, Including Chicken Milanese, Bone-in Chop, and Lobster thermidor.

We Both Order the Tangled Up In Blue ($ 16), Which is made with Stoli Blueberry, Rockey’s Botanical Liqueur, Dr. Mixer’s Blueberry Elixir, and Limoncello.

The Combination of the Blueberry and Lemon Made This Drink Flavorful and Refreshing.

The Hearty BREAD Rolls Arrived Warm and Paired With Butter That Was Extra Creamy and Easy to Spread.

They have a rich, homemade flavor with a touch of graininess that though was impressive for complimentary house bread.

The Cornmeal-Crusted Calamari ($ 13) Came with Pickled Peppers and a Calabrian Chili Aioli. We were Amazed at the Low Price of this Hearty appetizer.

The Cornmeal Breading Added A Delicate Sweetness, while the peppers lent a Sharp, Briny contrast that kept the Dish Lively and Bright.

The Dipping Sauce Brought a Subtle, Lingering Heat that Pulled EveryThing Together and Pushed This Appetizer Into Standout Territory.

As a new Englander who tasted more calamari than I can, I can confidently Say this was Among the best i’ve had.

The Restaurant Divided The Classic Wedge Salad ($ 13) Into Two, Giving US Each Half. Our Plates Were Loaded With Toppings: Crisp Tomato, Smoky Applewood Bacon, and A Drizzle of House-Made Blue Cheese Dressing.

Though the portions were relatively modest, they were still Hearty Enough to Satisfy, Especilly Given the Geneverous Toppings. CRISP, Smoky Bacon Added Depth, while the House-Made Dresing Struck the Perfect Balance of Creamy and Tangy.

Best of all, the dressing was studied with real blue cheese crumbles, giving bits an extra punch of sharp, savorY flavor. It tasted indulgent with the being overwhelming – the Kind of salad you’d happy again and again.

Instead of Ordering Two Smaller Steaks, We SHARED the 16-Once Prime Sirloin ($ 54), Served Alongside a Simple Helping of Sautéed Broccolini.

The sirloin was cook to a perfect medium-rare, revealing a warm pink center and an almost velvety tenderness.

While it was lacked the crust of a filet, that only enhanced it Juiciness. Each cut releassed a cascade of rich, savel Juices that poided acroks the plate, turning Every bits a melt-your-mouth indulgence.

There were quite a few sauses ($ 2) to choose from to accompany the steak: au poivre, béarnaise, blue cheese béChamel, or A House-Made Steak Sauce.

The au poivre was rich and packed with peppery flavor that tok the steak to the next level. For just a couple of extra dollars, it was a no-brainer to add a sauce to the meal.

The Goat Cheese Au Gratin Potatoes ($ 8) Arrived in Three Neatly Portioned Squares, Finished with A Sprinkle of Fresh Chives.

Layers of Onion, Rosemary, and Break Infused the Dish with a Fragrant, Herbal Depth that Complemented the Creamy Richness of the Cheese.

The Goat Cheese Lent a Subtle Tang to the Creamy Potatoes, while the Golden, Crispy Edges Added Perfect Textural Conttrast.

Dipped in the steak’s Juices or Smothered in the Au Poivre Sauce, they Became irresistibly rich – it was a compression yet refined on a classic that stirred a senses of nostalgia with the spotlight from the mains.

ORDERED The OOO-MAMI ($ 16), A Blend of Tequila Blanco, Mamma Bella Grapefruit Cello, Rose Syrup, Grapefruit Soda, and Lime. It was light and refreshing, though a bit on the sweet side.

My Friend Chose the Boardwalk Oaxacan ($ 16), Made With Banhez Mezcal, Wild Elderflower Liqueur, Hot Honey, and Sparkling Rosé. She finds it a little to be smoky and bitter for her keys.

Although We Split Just One Main Course, The 16-Once Sirloin, it prove more than Enough for Two.

Paired with Hearty Sides like the tangy, herb-laced goat cheese au gratin potatoes and a classic wedge salad piled with smoky bacon and blue cheese crumbles, the meal felt all generous and satisfying.

AFTER ETING AT THIS HISTORICAL STEAKHOUSE AND SEVERAL CELEBRITY-CHINE CHINE RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA, WE COULDN’T HELP THIS MEAL WAS A MUCH BETTER VALUE DUE TO THE COMPARATERY LOW COST OF EACH COURSE AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE FOOD.

By the time we finished our Last Sips of the Cocktails and the Last Juicy Bites of the Steak and Potatoes, it was clear we have missed out on a thing – the experiences indulgent, nostalgic, and deeply memorable.
