Frank Sinatra was a regular with a standing rib order and his own phone line installed at his usual seat; the restaurant later turned up in Return to Me and The Dark Knight. It's picked up a Michelin Travel & Lifestyle mention and a spot on at least one "America's absolute best ribs" list, though opinions genuinely split on whether the hype still holds — some longtime regulars still call it the local standard, others find the ribs merely good rather than transcendent at this point.
