Okay, this is going to be a bold statement: Damon's Steakhouse reminds me of a Valley version of Old Tony's. There, I said it.
Yes, it's missing the beautiful 360 degree ocean view, but it has that old-school charm that makes certain restaurants/bars far superior to others. As soon as you step in through the back door, this Polynesian-themed restaurant transports you back to the Golden Girls-era. Seriously, it reminds me so much of that episode of the Golden Girls where Blanche tries to seduce this standoffish guy, so she rents this tiki-themed hotel room that has all these remote-controlled sex contraptions. It's like that, minus the sex contraptions. This place totally feels like Reno, Nevada.
Like Tony's 'Firechief', Damon's also has a famous cocktail: the 'Chi Chi' (however, I don't believe you get to keep the glass). There is also a singer/guitarist next to the bar who plays pleasant listening music. What song do we hear upon entering?? 'I've Got a Name' by fucking JIM CROCE?!?! Yeeeah buddy, you're getting a tip for that one.
I very much enjoyed Damon's. Can't wait to come back and try a juicy, bloody steak!
