"Good food, nice wait staff and the bottles of wine we had were great and at a reasonable price. I opted for the burger and it just melted in my mouth. Everyone else was very happy with their dinner selections too and it can be hard to please 6 people but they did."

"My boyfriend loves steaks so whenever he wants a good steak, TBar is our spot of choice. I never get tired of the tuna tartare as a starter, it is my favorite in the city, not too much spice which is what I like. My boyfriend got the NY strip medium rare, and I got the 8 oz filet medium rare, we shared spinach and the mac and cheese (which is to die for). I was way too full for dessert but the table next to us got the banana sundae so that is definitely on my list of things to try. Since it is an UES restaurant it has a more "mature" crowd, however its a great spot for a group of friends or a nice date later in the evening, some would call the noise overwhelming, I call it energetic!"

"Mashed potatoes were the ones you cook out of a box. There was no difference between a medium and a rare steak. Also for younger crowds, the average age is high at this joint"

"A reasonably priced steakhouse is hard to find but this one does pretty well. The staff and menues both make for a comfortable meal. And, if you want something lively go into the very good bar/lounge."

"had a great night. everything we ordered was delicious. the noise level was just right, loud enough to be energetic, but not too loud that you couldn't talk. only complaint was that they gave us a table that was right next to the door"

"Ok restaurant, the steaks were nothing incredible but they were certainly good. The seared tuna was truly outstanding, while the octopus was pretty good. Overall food is better than average but the decoration is a little bit like any mall in America."
