Don’t think we didn’t notice that this new addition to Halls Chophouse came just in time for football season.

The restaurant — 1600 West End Ave. Ste. 101 — will host Saturday lunch service beginning Sept. 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The best part? Sportos can catch views from multiple TVs located at the front bar, Bill’s Bar, and on the covered patio.

Bonus: In addition to the regular menu (more on that below), guests can expect a three-course, $60 special — she-crab soup, Caesar salad, or simple greens salad starter + an 8 oz. filet mignon or blackened Scottish salmon second, finished with whiskey bread pudding.

Here are three menu offerings we’re eyeing:
  • Starter: The bacon steak
  • Salad: Blackened salmon salad (Asian pears, oranges, buttermilk blue cheese, candied pecans, and white balsamic vinaigrette)
  • Entrée: Halls steak sandwich (onions, mushrooms, Gruyère, horseradish-blue cheese aïoli, baguette, and Parmesan-truffle fries)
Keep an eye on the website for the full menu + make your reservation now.
