Frommer's Review

Don't be fooled by the elite address and elegant atmosphere: The Press Club is the kind of place that impresses, but it's far more affordable and accessible than its reputation and stylish dining room might indicate. The old-boys' network still digs it, but the Press Club is also attracting a younger, hipper crowd. The indoor restaurant is sizable yet private, done in dark tones of maroon and forest green with solid wood furniture and detailing. Outdoor seating is available on the terrace facing a large stage that features regular live music acts. The service is impeccable. The menu is full of sumptuous Continental standards: antipasto starters, goat-cheese salad, tuna steak, and various wood-grilled imported steaks and meat dishes. Savory entrees include the filet of barramundi with clam crust Creole sauce and rice croquette, roasted salmon specials, and imported spatchcock served with sweet potatoes in a Dauphinoise and citrus sauce. For dessert, try the white-chocolate sticky rice or rich rice pudding. On the ground floor, there's a casual and cozy coffee corner called The Deli.
