The execution is pitch-perfect, though, and when you bite into a charred yet bloody-rare chunk of dry-aged ribeye and wash it down with an ice-cold martini (especially the signature Big Four Martini, a blend of gin, vodka, manzanilla sherry and dry vermouth), you\u2019ll likely acknowledge that the classics are classics for a reason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"venue2-action\">\n\t<a href=\"\" class=\"booking-button button1\" data-resy-id=\"95270\" data-context=\"article\" data-venue-name=\"The Big Four\">Book Now<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"20.
