Greek immigrant John Vlahos turned it into the Golden Steer steakhouse because he wanted to own something of his own, sold it to his brother Taki in 1979, and ownership passed through the Tzouras family (Kiriakos and Gus) from 1997 until 2023. That's when Elba Caragher, who'd worked there for 23 years, bought the restaurant and the building outright from the retiring Tzouras cousins, with one stated promise: nothing changes.
The French onion soup and the filet are the two dishes that have survived every single ownership change along the way. Closed Sundays.
