Monterey is an elevated steakhouse experience in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Rockefeller Center and the historic St Patrick's Cathedral. Enjoy classic steakhouse dishes with modern American touches, all served in a vibrant setting. Building on the best of the city's time-honored steakhouse tradition, Monterey's dusty pink banquets, crisp white tablecloths, and culinary theater evoke the golden age of New York City dining.

    Monterey joyfully remains one of the absolute best restaurants in the entire City for a celebratory meal. The stylish room is keyed to a scale and tempo that feels right for a really special date for two or a festive birthday party for a group; two birthday parties and counting so far! The menu is excellent and really shines with new-again presentations of classics like Prime Rib from a rolling carvery, perfect steaks for two and very strong seafood entrees. The staff is polished and even playful which always adds to the fun. A "can't miss" in Midtown.

    Overall, good food and good service, it took a bit long to get our main course, but it was during lunch time, so it is expected.

    I’ll go back for the BBQ Head-on Shrimp & Grits & try Fri’s $75 Prime Rib special. Otherwise, Drinks, Fish & steak were average & it was an average experience. Everything was overpriced for what it is. Also, a $45 Bananas Foster dessert - even though it can be shared w/ 3 people - is just ridiculous! Just offer & price it accordingly for 1 person & we would’ve gotten it.

    They are not very attentive As far as a high-end restaurant go, the staff is not trained to be on par with a high-end restaurant. It was a Saturday night and the place was empty. I understand why. I would not recommend this restaurant and I will not be coming back

    First time here, excellent experience. Fried artichoke delish, portion a bit small. Risotto, truffle lasagna, baba au rhum & pannacotta all wonderful. Can’t wait to return and try the prime rib (which looked amazing).

    Exceptional food. The lavash with carrot tahini delivered. Caesar salad and summer tomatoes added great balance and very tasty. Pork chop and prime rib were next. Both were excellent. Perfectly roasted prime rib served table side and the chops unique flavors were both comforting and exciting at the same time. Oh, and great Martinis and service.
