    The food is pretty good, but the service and overall ambiance was seriously lacking to the point that this place is just OK. When you first enter, you walk past the bar and make your way to the host. They don't take reservations, so when we arrived, we were told 20 mins. So we idled at a table near the bar and got a couple drinks while we were waiting. The bartender was inattentive, standing with his back toward the patrons, so I'm not sure what that was about. Our wait ended up being over an hour to get a table. Once we got to our table, by the time we got our bread and appetizers, we waited another 30 minutes. It felt like an eternity before we finally go our food, and at that point we stopped counting and accepted our fate. Apparently, their usual chef was out sick, so I'd hope that's the main reason and this isn't typical. But it's still pretty unacceptable. The portion sizes were a bit absurd. My prime rib ($31) came with not just a side salad but a whole plate of linguine. I can't eat that much, so I would have rather just had a cheaper meal than the unnecessarily massive portions. But conversely, the horseradish honey shrimp appetizer ($14) was a few bites at best with just 5 pieces of shrimp. So you'll be starving waiting for your main dish but once it comes, you definitely won't be able to finish it (unless you have an endless stomach). The food itself was fairly good quality and tasty, but it felt overpriced for the presentation (very bland, just thrown on the plate) and overall experience. It's loud, dark, and cramped with low ceilings. It's definitely a hangout spot for local seniors with extra cash to burn, which is not an experience I would recommend, especially given the price. They did give all of us free dessert to compensate for the extra wait, which was appreciated but definitely not enough to win me over. If you get invited to eat here, hopefully, it's with someone you can really chat with because you might be there for a while. I personally would not come here again.

    Philly Cheesesteak Soup.
    Jonathan C.

    Simply put, this place is fantastic. It's a little gem of a steak and fish joint nestled in the West side of Binghamton. The Beef has been at it...well, a long time. You can tell that the regulars have been coming here for many, many years. The service is very friendly, and they paid close attention to our table. As for the food, I'll first say that if they are offering their Philly Cheesesteak soup, you need to order a bowl. It's thick, there's real steak pieces in it, and it's not too salty. You can taste the bits of red pepper in there, too. I got the Delmonico (blackened, with bleu cheese crumbles), and my wife got the Prime Rib. We have eaten plenty of meat at the usual chains, such as Texas Roadhouse. We have also eaten at places like Chicago Cut, who charge over $90 for a similarly named cut. Grated, that's 35 day dry aged and world-class, but it serves for comparison. What you get are steaks that exceed the quality of the chains, but at a slightly better price. The Prime Rib was perfect - super tender, perfectly medium rare, and served au jus that was made from fresh beef bones. As for the Delmonico, that was also outstanding. Juicy, tender, and loaded with flavor. No flavor was taken too far, and all of it was balanced. We have no reason to go to the chain steak places in the Binghamton area again. The Beef is cozy, and has plenty of cold beer on tap. One piece of advice - try to get there early (i.e. before 6:00 PM). Locals flood in and it can get crowded.

    No sweet vermouth Manhattan!!
    James S.

    Had dinner here last week and was very disappointed. The Manhattan I ordered was lacking Sweet vermouth. It's a Manhattan not a martini!! Manhattans are suppose to have a decent amount of vermouth to round out the whiskey!! Absolute garbage!! Doesn't anyone in this town know how to make a proper drink?? The only good thing about dinner (reason for the 2 stars) is their French onion soup is always good along with the prime rib!

    Haddock w/Brussel Sprouts. Soup of the Day! Cosmo was the appetizer!

Our waitress was very friendly. We ordered Pickled coins, Irish nachos, and an order of pierogies for our appetizers. Everything was good, though the order of pierogies was small for the price, we all enjoyed them. For our entrees, we ordered the Corned Beef w/ chips, 2 - Chicken Mango Habanero sandwiches, one with regular fries and one with sweet potato fries, Sriracha Glaze wings, and a Turkey Club w/ fries. The Corned beef sandwich was bland and didn't have a lot of flavor and the coleslaw was very watery so the sandwich was soggy in the middle. The homemade chips were very good though. The Club sandwich had a thick layer of onion that killed the taste of the rest of the sandwich, even after it was taken off. The Chicken Mango Habanero sandwiches came out and the chicken was black and burned to a crisp!! I took the worst of the two up to the counter to have it remade and was informed that they looked like that because of the oil they were using, and if they remade it, it would still look like that, so I asked for it to be taken off the bill. Overall, the atmosphere was good,and they have a nice bar, but there was a very strong "sewage" smell in the women's bathroom and they put air fresheners in the floor drain where the smell was coming from, and the food was not great. With our drinks (we were there for a couple hours and there were 6 of us) and food, our bill was over $200. We might go back for drinks since it's close to home, but will not be ordering food again. Very disappointed.
