Christy's has been in Coral Gables as long as I have -- which is now 4 decades. I only went in college when someone richer than I paid, but since I've acquired a few dollars, I am able to go frequently. Recently, we hosted friends who had not been in 20 years -- and it was the same as they remembered it! The prime rib is tops, as are the Caesar salads. Martinis are well poured. Don't go for culinary adventure -- go for great food and fine service. Also, the "new" bar (since '08, I think) is terrific for a happy hour.
