GRAND OPENING of the

Congress was with the kind of
hors d'oeuvres served during the
`70s days at the old London Chop
House ... and it was like yester-
years with water continually be-

glasses brought with lemon slices.
There are few places more
beautiful than the Downtown
London Chop House ... and the
superb service is even better than
days gone by.
