Tucked away in another historic restaurant location, (at one time this was the hang out spot for such stars as Frank Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack) there is plenty of history and untold stories behind these walls, if only they could talk. Conveniently located just east of Park Avenue and 4 blocks north of The Waldorf-Astoria, this is where you want to be. As you walk into the restaurant you’re greeted by our hosts and a large credenza filled with beautiful bottles of wine. Glancing to your left you overlook the spacious yet always occupied bar, where the bartenders know your name and have your drink waiting for you before you can even say hello. Separating the bar from the dining room is a glass window so you can see all the action of other diners enjoying their meals. The dining room has the good old fashioned steakhouse style with handcrafted wood walls, and F

Ordered filet, medium well and found it to be very well done, tuff/crisp. I would recommend medium for those that usually do medium well. 8pm reservation but dinner was served at 8:56 so it was quiet the wait for the food, all though we were seated immediately. For the price I thought it would be a little different but it is a beautiful place , quiet and intimate. I noticed a wall of aged wine and overall a lot to choose from on the menu. My partner had the filet with lobster and we shared the mash, broccoli and roasted corn. For the appetizer we ordered the bang bang shrimp and that was 10/10, also the broccoli was cooked to perfection.

We made reservations but still had to wait a couple of minutes for the host to seat us when it was not busy. Just strange to keep us all waiting there like that. Our waiter was decent enough. Nothing over the top . The food came out quick but wasn’t hot, strange again but the flavor was there for my steak. The sides are small for the price and our drinks were messed up . Margarita missing the tajin rim.. for $21 you think it would be on point. The table was slanted and chair wobbly … the ambiance was not up to par with its prices or as a steak house

Celebrated my husband’s birthday here and overall we had a nice experience. The Sirloin steak had a nice crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The rigatoni bolognese was a little on the salty side. The House margarita was delicious. The service was off, we waited for 8minutes for water and menus. At first we had one server and then another. Our final server Ana was lovely and even gave my hubby dessert 🧁 on the house. Overall we had a nice meal.

got sat in the corner when the entire restaurant was open/ available. then they sat people right on top of us when the ENTIRE restaurant was open. then they spoon fed us the rest of our appetizers to clear the plates when we clearly weren’t finished. totally unprofessional. did not like our waiters attitude nor the food runners. cocktails were mediocre. steaks were decent at best

Overall great experience WARNING, the menu on this website and the menu at the restaurant is different. They did not have escargot’s (which is why we decided to go there) as an example and all the prices are much higher. Filet $65, bone in rib eye $75…. Someone needs to update menu for accuracy. Otherwise great food snd service!!

Bone in sirloin for $68 shouldn’t be filled with gristle. Hash brown potato was a disgrace. We’ve had it in the past where it is a nice thick pancake like dish. This was thin greasy flat with no redeeming features. We informed our waiter we were sharing the salad. In most steak houses they divide it in the kitchen. This was served with small plates to divide ourselves. Restaurant was quite busy but service was very slow. Overall a very disappointing meal for a lot of money

The food was fantastic, our waiter wonderful, but it was very very loud in the dining room and we couldn't hear ourselves sitting 2 feet across from each other. It definitely took away from our meal that we couldn't have a nice conversation with each other over the noise of the other patrons. Unfortunate...
