Originally a train station back when the streets were cobblestone, the Gandy Dancer’s preserved stone walls and stained glass windows have become a time capsule to a bygone era. The restaurant’s traditional grandeur has accumulated an older crowd of Sunday brunchers and early birds, but it’s also perfect for celebrating special occasions for all age groups. Diners still dress in their Sunday best and clap when the train comes by—an old tradition from when a train once jumped the tracks and hit the building. The menu contains a variety of both surf and turf, but Gandy Dancer is primarily a seafood spot. Extravagant but necessary, the king crab legs are a must, accompanied by any dish containing scallops or salmon.
