50 Best Steakhouses in New York

“A New York classic experience! From their cooked to perfection Prime Sirloin Salad to the Dark Chocolate Mousse. Keens delivers great flavors in a cozy and historical setting. A must try!“

“The food I ordered was so good and well made, great size portion too. Helena was our server and constantly made sure our bottomless drinks were filled to our satisfaction, proactively took away plates and felt no worry in asking us if certain plate could be taken instead of assuming that some left meant we still wanted it, etc. I loved the social aspect of the service, it made it feel like a place I can go and be remembered / taken care of. I’m so drunk writing this right now, the drinks are too good 𓆏“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“Excellent food and service! The steak was scrumptious, and Ben, Alex and manager Basmir were welcoming, caring, and attentive, checking in throughout our meal to make sure we had everything we needed. I’ve been to other Empire Steak House locations, and this one is by far the best so far. A truly amazing experience—I would absolutely return!“

“Excellent as always. One of the best steakhouses in NYC. Pro tip - if it’s just two, sit in the cozy front corner of the bar in the speakeasy below for you meal and def order the twice baked and the creamed spinach“

“Visited on Wednesday night to celebrate mine and my husbands wedding that day and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by lovely friendly staff. We were seated quickly and were introduced to our server. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was fantastic. We opted for the Korean bacon to start and we both had the butchers feast. Outstanding. The steak was beautiful and the dishes that came with it were amazing too. The short rib and egg soufflé were my favourite. Thank you for letting us celebrate our wedding day in your restaurant.“

“Massi our waiter made an amazing working, food came on time, he gave us a warm welcome and entertained us while waiting for the food. We were celebrating Birthday. 5 starts to his efficient understanding our wishes. The receptionist and the floor manage all made us really comfortable and in a festive celebration day, classic, low profile and elegant.“

“What an incredible experience! I went there last night on 57th Street for Christmas Eve. 5 star customer service thanks to The Rock & staff, delicious lamb chops, tuna tartare and Pinot Noir. I had the pecan pie and ice cream, my mom had the crab cake and we shared the creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. I highly recommend! Thank you for such an enjoyable evening! I will definitely be back.“

“Absolutely delicious. I had the filet mignon and it had this seared slightly salty outside that was just a little crisp and the flavor was to die for. I brought friends back with me the second time and they didn’t fail to impress them as well. Everyone enjoyed the steak and the cheesecake is perfection! I also loved the loaded baked potato with crisped cheese on top. Yum.“

“I’m not a review leaver, but genuinely my experience here was top notch. My mom and I were celebrating a joint birthday dinner and trip, and the staff was super attentive, kind, and open with recommendations for us. The even brought out sparklers and sang to us, which was so beautifully over the top but still clearly from the heart. I can’t remember her name for the life of me, but our beautiful kind and perfect server will literally hold a place in my soul forever.

The steak, potato puree, and onion soup were highlights for me, as well as the chocolate tarte. I would absolutely recommend Steak Frites to anyone.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! Service was exceptional!“

“Amazing place ,the practice sanitary and social distancing. They are amazing people, courteous and caring. 100% recommend.“

“What a sumptuous meal and experience! Food was amazing, the server Max was so attentive, manager Peter very gracious. A night we will treasure for a long time.“

“I like the 22nd street location better. The steak wasn’t as good nor do they give you the same amount. Bartender at the bar served us open bottle beer which was warm on top of it. But the dining room service was exceptional. I like the atmosphere and ambience of this place more but I care about food so I won’t be coming back here unfortunately but will dine at the flatiron location for sure.“

“Had dinner with eight colleagues. Really wonderful experience. The waiter was excellent with valuable knowledge of the wine list. The food was excellent starting with great appetizers (sweetbreads, salads, empanadas) and the mixed grill was outstanding. Blood sausages were particularly good. Fun experience all around.“

“One of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. Everything was delish.“

“Excellent is an understatement! We had an amazing experience at Empire Steakhouse. Armin was an exceptional server: attentive, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal.

We ordered the Porterhouse Steak for Two, and it was absolutely incredible. Perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the dinner. We also started with the grilled octopus, which was an excellent appetizer and a great way to begin the meal.

From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. Armin truly made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend Empire Steakhouse, and we will definitely be back!“

“The experience was fantastic! The food was so delicious!! The service was so good and the employees were so nice with us. I spent such a great time having dinner with my friends in my birthday! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“My first time dining at Crane Club was fabulous. It was a treat for my partner's mother and the entire experience made her feel like a celebrity. Richard was outstanding, and we loved being escorted to Bar CC for after dinner drinks! Wonderful experience, I look forward to coming back.“

“We had the most amazing experience. We were a big party and had to find a good place for our celebration and Gio saved us! The staff greeted us so warmly as soon as we entered and ALL night there were so many staff attending to our every need. The food was incredible and perfectly timed. We will absolutely be back. Thank you!“

“Royal 35 Steakhouse offers an outstanding classic steakhouse experience. The dry-aged porterhouse and ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, rich, and full of flavor. To top off a fantastic meal, their desserts were equally delicious and memorable. Highly recommended for a high-quality dinner!“

“Great steaks and excellent service!“

“Favorite spot in the area!“

“Delicious! Hubby and I celebrated our 13th anniversary here after seeing a Stranger Things matinee. Everything is exceptional - from the vibe to the presentation to the food to the service. I had the second level of dirty martini - it was perfect. We shared all the recommended dishes and were not disappointed. The wagyu cheesesteak bites were incredible - best part of the night. Short rib croquettes were phenomenal. Mac and cheese was delicious, although a little more watery than i prefer. My husband had the wagyu burger which he loved. We shared the crispy rice tuna bites - those were the only thing I didn’t absolutely love and i think it’s just a personal taste preference. They gave us the best seat in the house, complimentary champagne and absolutely delicious chocolate cookies for dessert. I’m recommending this restaurant to everyone for any pre-or-post-theatre dining - they have a price fixe menu for the 4-6pm crowd that i plan to try next time. PERFECT EXPERIENCE.“

“Great experience, The hostess and our waiter were friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the night. The Wagyu sando was outstanding and definitely the highlight of the meal. The prime rib was also good. Great food and excellent service.“

“I went to Harry's for my birthday dinner while visiting NYC in May 2025. Everything was absolutely perfect. Best beef wellington I've ever had. The service was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the creme brulee topped everything off. I plan to dine there everytime I visit NY. I would recommend to any and everyone.“

“Refined Manhattan understated glamour, exceptional steak (and bone marrow), and an effortlessly chic atmosphere. A beautifully polished dining experience with just the right touch of edge. Jessica: thank YOU - perfect seating and your personality is covetable, David: you were just THE perfect server. The whiskey sours are legit. See you again, soon. Thanks!“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“Great atmosphere and great food“

Thank you and shared our
anniversary the best!“

“An unplanned dinner, out of curiosity for 2 when we happened to park right in front of Wolfgang Steakhouse. This was after my dental appointment across the street.
We walked in past 6 pm and were accommodated right away.
Onion bread was served with chunks of butter. 3/5. I always prefer a warm bread.
We ordered a dozen of fresh Bluepoint oysters, with a mid-brininess taste. The flesh was glistening, plump but the saltiness is in-between. 3.5/5.
I always look forward to the oysters in Norfolk, Virginia, right at the back of my friend's summer house. Its thick, high salinity flesh would let you slurp non-stop until your gastronomic craving is fulfilled.
We shared a Caesar's salad. The lettuce was fresh with grated parmesan cheese and a few pieces of croutons. The sauce is always the star in a salad. Their sauce was light, simple and less creamy. 3/5
For me, a little more acid, touch of saltiness from anchovies and the right portion of Worcestershire, mayo and Dijon would perk up the depth of flavor.
Then came the star of the dinner. We had a porterhouse for 2. It was a big sliced portion served on a hot metal plate with the meat sauce and butter. The meat was so tender. and rightly cooked, medium rare as ordered and not salty, which I like. I miss having a rosemary on top. We didn't finish only about 3 pcs. each though we both like it. 4.5/5
We have to have a space meeting some friends at about 9 pm.
This was paired with the big onion rings, which were crunchy with a thin batter. 5/5
We preferred a lava cake but it wasn't available. So we had pistachio tartufo instead. It was covered with a tinge of truffled chocolate with a whipped cream in the middle. The sweetness was just enough but the cream in the middle was so gross that made the 4 slices of tartufo so small. Lessen the cream to make the tartufo stand out. 4/5
No wine at this time as we still have to meet some friends at 9 pm for a drink. Settled for a bottle of a sparkling water instead.

The steak was $75 per person. The tables were near to each other that you could hear about their talks. Some customers talked so loud to a waiter that you could hear their voices even about 4-5 tables apart. Maybe due to a low but a nice well-designed arched ceiling by a famous Spanish architect.
The waiters were nice and the service was prompt.
Overall, it was worth a try. Will try their other branch/steaks next time.“

“The food is yummy! Atmosphere is cozy, but not cramped. Good time! 👍🏻“

“Omg absolute perfection!! My husband made reservations and told them it was our anniversary and they went all out. I had the filet with macaroni and cheese and who would have thought that was the best part. They did a champagne toast, had a “happy anniversary” card on the table and a candle in the cheesecake which was incredible. Our waiters worked as a team and made everything unforgettable. We are from Mississippi and my husband ask me what was my favorite part about our trip and I’m like “Strip House!”“

“Amazing service, everyone was so nice and welcoming (Jenny attended to me during this visit, she was awesome) - food was outstanding, atmosphere was great.

Sat outside, and did some good people watching

Their prix fixe menu was great, give it a try!“

“We had a great night! The experience was wonderful and the staff was very attentive and helpful. You will not get a better steak anywhere and the sides were just as delicious. Will definitely be back on our next trip to NYC. Tried to share some pics and I couldn’t“

“There is nothing to say about the restaurant we came back two consecutive nights the meat is really of quality the chips are very crispy it is good at the entrance with the salad the staff is kind and friendly the reception is excellent and the price is good respectively to the quality of what you eat“

“Goed eten en een must do als je in NY bent. Heerlijk gegeten en leuk gesproken met de manager Frank over ons Nederland. Een aanrader, wij komen volgend jaar rond thanksgiving weer graag terug“

“乾式熟成牛肉讚人均消費約NT$2500“

“The shrimp cocktail is a delight as is the filet mignon and their basket of rolls. I would skip dessert though, especially the chocolate mousse and the key lime pie. Subpar to say the least. Better to share a dessert with someone if you decide you must order a dessert. If it's bad, just send it back. With the prices they charge, diners should get some type of dessert on the House.“

“Delicious and the best service by far in NY.“

“My experience the other day at Sirrah was something that one would only experience in a movie. The staff worked in perfect unison and treated my girlfriend and I like we were family. The food was prepared in a way one could only describe as perfect, each course leaving me in complete awe and eager to be entranced by the next dish. Every last detail down to even the choice in music was hand picked to fully immerse you into an entirely new world. Sirrah will be seeing a lot more of me in the future.“

“I recently had an incredible dining experience at the Capital Grille. The food was outstanding, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive, attentive, friendly but not intrusive . Altogether, it was a meal that I will remember fondly and would happily recommend to anyone seeking a top-notch culinary experience.“

“Loved our special occasion dinner here! It’s definitely an investment, but the food and experience make it well worth it. The 20oz ribeye was cooked to perfection and ideal for two people to split alongside a couple of starters. The service was top-tier—honest-to-goodness Michelin quality—and the ambiance is chic, quiet, and relaxed. If you're looking for a premier steak night, this is a winner!“

“Awesome dining experience. Best in NYC!!“
