Nick + Stef’s Steakhouse

Went to Nick's for an important client dinner given the consistency of its food and service over 20 years I've been going there. It was a Rangers game night so it was really busy when I got there, and had the ‘NY City buzz' with every table filled. Nice. Once the game crowd left, it was calm and a great place to eat, drink and talk with only a dozen other parties in the whole place which was great. Service was excellent, and the Bacon appetizer was a hit as always. You can't beat it even amongst NY steakhouses and my client walked out and into his train in 5 minutes. That's what it's all about for NY City business dinners.

This is a fine and convenient choice before the game. All of our dishes were excellent. Wanted a burger for dinner, which they didn't have,but other choices were very good. A bit pricey but service was very good and we weren't rushed at all, even when it got busy.

Perfect before a MSG event. Lovely upscale ambiance and great food and service. Double secret entrance to MSG.

Great steakhouse next to the garden , the old Charley O's We celebrated my daughter‘s birthday and a Ranger game. Great time, nice people working and running the restaurant . Good food w good vibes 👍

Awesome place for business meetings or pre game dinner before NYR game. Food is delicious and drinks and outrageous. Last train Old Fashion drink is delicious . Services is excellent

This was my first dining experience at Nick & Stef's. We had a wonderful and attentive waitress and although my martini was excellent, I was disappointed with the tasteless onion soup, the soggy old terrible tasting brussel sprouts and not sure what the story was with the watery and gross side of mashed potates that came with my salmon although the salmon was cooked to perfection and very good. One of my friends had the white wine and I thought the pour was very light but I didn't say anything about it. Based on my experience for the $400.00 bill with tip I don't plan on returning to this restaurant.

Connected to MSG! If you're coming into town for any events in Times Square or at the Garden you should definitely check out Nick & Stef's! Excellent service and great food

With a perfect location for a high-quality steak dinner before an event at The Garden, I am happy to report that this restaurant was not a disappointment!

Food was great and service was even better. In addition, they accommodated a dietary request to cook the steak in olive oil (avoiding butter).

Brussels sprouts, bacon appetizer, filet mignon were all very good.

One of the steaks came rare it was sent back and came back the same way/ There did take off bill put left hanger. cream spinach was cold/ And the nose was way to load. the service was very nice knowing they missed up.

Food was excellent but for a Restaurant that deals with MSG crowds you are way understaffed. It took 40 minutes to sit us down cause we got there early and 45 minutes to have food in front of us once we did.We didn't gave time for dessert and just made it to the event on time.

Our meal was served by our wonderful waiter Steve. Everything was delicious and when we told him our brussel sprouts were too hard he substituted a baked potato which was delicious.

Nick & Stef's is THE PERFECT PLACE to eat before all Madison Square Garden events! The food is excellent and not overpriced as some of those "other steakhouses". The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and treat customers very well. Because it is so conveniently located to MSG, it can get very busy and noisy, however the acoustics are great and you don't have difficulty carrying on a conversation with your dinner companions. My wife and I will also visit even when there is no event as it is also extremely convenient to the LIRR Penn Station and we can be there in 50 minutes. Thank you Stephen, Michelle and all!

We had a 5:30pm reservation. We got there at 5:05pm. We were told they would most likely be able to seat us closer to 5:15pm. No problem. We went to the bar. Luckily found 1 seat. Tried to wave down a bartender. Took at least 3x of them walking right in front of me before they asked what we wanted. At 5:30 they call me to say my table was ready. Great. It was just me & my husband so we got a small table but I might as well have been sitting with the people on my left & right. Literally about 3 inches between the tables. The wait staff was great. Attentive and asked if we were seeing the show at MSG, which we were. Didn't rush us but got us out in plenty of time for the show. I know prices have gone up and it's Manhattan but it was a very expensive dinner. Again my biggest complaint was the tables being way too close to each other.
