I haven't been in a place like this since Blue Nun was considered a premium wine.  Right out of the 50's - relishes served before the meal, black semi-circle banquettes, soft olive green walls, one wall mirrored. The kind of place the Moore parents took their kid to celebrate a special occasion.

Phil Smidt's actually dates back to 1910.  All along they have been famous for two specialities - frog legs and lake perch.  Sauteed or fried, but according to my waitress, most people order them sauteed.  I went for a combo, sauteed frogs legs and perch.  Came with fresh made tartar sauce that had a green hue to it.  Quite good.

Alas I found out too late, they're also famous for their gooseberry pie.  Worth a return trip.
