A handsome clubby interior, friendly staff and a crowd-pleasing menu of well-executed classics draw loyal customers. Scargo covers its bases well, from a Reuben sandwich at the bar to a formal dinner (grilled lamb shank, grilled sirloin, seafood strudel); prices represent good value. Finish with the signature dessert: grape-nut custard (made with a cereal that is neither grape nor nut).
