Especially Dal Rae, that's a sleeper of a choice. Interesting however for the omission of Musso & Frank. I'm assuming its 1919 lineage pre-dates the mid-century genre the book is targeted at (Same goes for Tam O-Shanter and Pacific Dining Car). Also I'm sure the current state of the food and service is as much as a factor as the aesthetics. Places like the Prince (ex-Windsor), HMS Bounty (ex-Dales Secret Harbor), Billingsley's, etc. might have been much more formal back in the day but not anymore. Smokehouse and Taix (1962 location) however must have missed the cut by inches. I'm obsessed with this type of stuff. Ha, ha. :)
