Happy to ObEge

ReStaurateurs will tell you
that it's always a good sign
when your customers call you
to reserve q table.
But. when they call you to re-
serve an order Of roast beef,
you can be downright jovial.
This happens at Costin's SIR
loin Room Restaurant. in the
National Press Club Building,
Fourteenth and F streets NV,
and owners Norman A. Ahrarn-
son and Norman Bomze are
happy to oblige.
Roast beef, it seems, is not
to be left over for second day
consumption, so CoStin's, one
Of the best known beef houses
in the city, attempts to prepare
only the amount it will need
on q particular evening.
But sometimes we run low,
so we got in the habit Of ac-
cepting reservations for orders
of roast beef Just as we'd re-
serve q table" Mr.. Abramson
explains.
Now, he adds, the habit has
turned into a regular customer
service and roast beef reserva-
tons are made as a matter Of
routine.
To serve the roast beef, Cos
tins uses an unusal roast beef
cart. "the only one Of its kind
on the East coast" Mr.. Abram-
son says. Made Of solid copper,
the cart was made especially for
Costin's and can be moved
about the dining room so the
server can cut the orders "a
the walters give them. This
guarantees their freshness, the
owners point out.
But roast beef is Just one
item on the extensive Costin's
menu.
Among the selections. which
would never involve the need
for making a reservation. are:
Chateaubriand (for two or
three). filet mignon, planked
double sirloins. prime sirloins.
Delmonicos, steak brochettes
and chopped sirloin. There also
are prime lamb chops. calves
liver and broiled chickens.
