What was the name of that restaurant?

[joisey al]

Does any one remember the name of the restaurant on the top floor of the St. Francis Hotel? This is around the late 1970's-early 80's. I remember they had a dress code (men had to wear jackets) and the food was really good.

I never ate there, but I think it was Victor's.

[chocolatetartguy]

Probably right. For some reason I was thinking Alfred's, where Jimmy Stewart took Kim Novak in Vertigo.

Ernie's

[soupçon]

Victor's it was. Celery Victor was invented there.

[wolfe]

Probably the dish was invented well before the restaurant on the top floor was named for him.
