I
am
giving
a
generous
two
stars
because
of
my
true
love
of
the
memories
that
Arthur's
has
given
me
dating
back
to
1995
when
a
good
friend
recommended
I
stop
for
a
great
steak
at
an
excellent
price.
I
will
be
forwarding
this
review
to
him
as
a
remembrance
(eulogy)
of
a
great
place
that
no
longer
offers
either.
My
fiancee
and
I
visited
on
Monday
August
8th
and
we
sat
at
the
bar.
Much
to
my
chagrin,
there
wasn't
an
employee
in
sight
for
almost
10
minutes.
Thankfully,
there
were
a
few
customers
in
view
so
my
first
thoughts
of
robbery
with
hostages
locked
in
the
storage
closet
were
dispelled.
The
delay
kind
of
worked
out
well
because
it
gave
us
time
to
become
acclimated
to
the
horrible
musty
odor
that
permeated
the
building,
either
emanating
from
a
roof
leak
or
the
20
year
old
carpet.(
Yes
I
remember
the
"new
carpet.")
Our
first
thought
of
splitting
was
outweighed
by
my
urge
for
a
steak
I
once
knew.
We
were
greeted
by
our
hostess,
bartender,
bus
person,
food
runner
and
possibly
manager,
Daysy.
Yes,
it
was
a
one
person
show.
She
was
pleasant
and
did
the
best
she
could
under
circumstances
obviously
dictated
by
absentee
management.
We
received
our
food
fairly
quickly
once
Daysy
took
our
order.
Simple,
straight
forward,
two
24
once
steaks
medium
rare,
well
done
home
fries,
and
garlic
bread
with
mozzarella.
Well,
I
'll
start
positive
and
say
that
the
bread
was
pretty
good.
The
steak
arrived
well
done
and
the
home
fries
were
obviously
put
under
the
broiler
and
burnt.
The
quality
of
the
meat
was
close
to
what
it
normally
would
be
(we
never
expected
prime
here),
it
was
always
about
the
magic
which
has
obviously
been
lost.
The
quality
the
value
and
the
ambience
have
all
been
destroyed.
The
steak
is
hovering
on
forty
bucks
and
a
pint
of
Yuengling
is
at
7.50
(
Manhattan
prices).
Far
too
close
to
the
prime
steak
house
prices,
(our
favorite
in
Westfield
offers
a
ribeye
with
a
side
for
forty-eight
and
Amstels
are
six).
Absent
a
successful
round
of
CPR
or
a
reincarnation
of
Houdini
the
place
is
doomed.
The
search
should
be
on
for
a
buyer
of
the
real
estate
and
corporate
purchase
of
the
Liquor
license
for
use
on
Route
1.
