“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!“

“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.“

“We ordered the porterhouse. Perfect for two people. The meat melts in your mouth and fries are perfect! The steak came out so fast, we thought they’d made a mistake.
Chocolate soufflé was so light and fluffy and not overly sweet.
Staff was so nice and attentive. Atmosphere was also very nice.“

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

“i had the stak and was so good“

The porter and sole tasted excellent.
The service is very professional and always friendly.“

“Brought my wife here for her birthday. Empire Steak was on my list of "must go" places while visiting NYC. The place has fantastic online reviews and our experience surpassed even the best online review. All their steak is dry-aged 28 days. For consumers of dry-age, you know its not all the same. This was, without a doubt the best 28 day dry age ribeye i have ever had. I could smell the dry age when it came to the table, and i knew it would be good. I eat steak 5-7 nights a week and half the time its dry aged. I don't purchase from grocery stores, i only order the best i can find online from the most reputable purveyors.....so I feel quite qualified to make that assessment. Next, the crust on the steak was absolutely perfect as was the entire cook on the steak. One of the best steaks i ever had. Our server, ARDIE, was just awesome. He was attentive, informative and really a pleasure just to talk to. I felt like i had a new best friend by the end of dinner......thats just how engaging he is. I cant imagine a better server anywhere and he is a proud employee of Empire.....just what you want as a customer. He suggested the french onion soup and it was the best i ever had. My wife had branzino and it was gorgeous. The manager AL, came by multiple times and was so friendly and didn't rush us at all even though it was late. Look, Empire Steak is a 10 on a scale 1-5. I highly recommend the place and i will be back as soon as i can. Ask for Ardie, he is the best. Dont miss it, you will not be disappointed. Note: we went to the 237 W 54th street location. Be warned that the Times Square location apparently does not have a full bar, only beer and wine.“

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

“The food was amazing and staff was very knowledgeable“

“Hands down the best place I have ever eaten. We had exceptional service, amazing cocktails and exceptional meals. We found Rocco to be a very gracious and kind host. He surprised us with a nice sampling of their delectable desserts. I highly recommend Rocco’s.⭐️“

“Had a confirmed reservation for lunch at 1pm. Still had to wait over 10 minutes to be seated. Should have been able to be seated right away. Had a train to catch post-lunch and arrived at station at exact time train scheduled to leave. Only made it because it was delayed 12 minutes. A reminder that every minute counts when you have a business lunch and travel. I've never had a problem at Capital Grille in many other locations in both NYC and other cities. This location needs to do a better job at seating guests with reservations on time.“

“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“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“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“

“This was my 2nd visit. The 1st was my birthday in January where my waiter was exceptional. Yesterday upon leaving and to pay the bill, the manager said to me, 'Thank you for coming back." I'm stunned he remembered me. He then tells my waiter, "Bring her a birthday shot." I drank the shot, thanked them for the special treatment and departed. When my friend comes to visit next month, I will take her there.“

“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.“

“This Restaurant was simply AMAZING!! We had Steak Fromage and had never had it before. It literally melted in your mouth it was that good. The Roquefort cheese was on the side and you could just lather your steak with it. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare. Just the best steak I've ever had. Service was over the top. I mean literally after two or three drinks of a beverage they were right there to top it off. Every part of the meal was perfect. And if you like history - this restaurant has that too. I won't discuss the details - think... Sopranos. But a lot of famous people have dined here. When you come to New York - you have to have one of your meals here“

“Wonderful service and excellent menu!“

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

“Absolutely fantastic meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a trip to NY. We opted for the restaurant week menu, 3 courses for $60, which was a great deal. The food was excellent and filet mignon cooked to perfection. A great meal and would love to return when I am back.“

“I went here for my wife’s birthday. I heard it was a nice place , but I was not expecting it to be such a nice experience. From the smiles that greeted you when you walk in to the delightful atmosphere to the delicious food this place is a 10/10 in every single area!!!! The servers, waiters , chef, owner are all so nice and easy !! I have never had such a nice experience like I did here!! (And it’s really well priced) definitely recommend!!“

“always an outstanding dining experience.“

“It was an excellent meal The food and the service were wonderful“

“We had an exquisite Italian meal at El Molino. My wife had Pollo Parmesano though, and it was the best presentation of this meal she has ever had... And she orders it at many many restaurants. Our waiter was very knowledgeable. We would return here many times.“

“Always love this place! FANTASTIC food and service. The steaks and all side dishes are perfect. (Sorry can't comment on seafood - can't not get a steak!) Such a beautiful, historic room. As always - the noisiest restaurant ever (but in a good way lol). We will always stop by when in town.“

“Old NYC style, perfect Food, service, and attention!“

“TBar is our favorite restaurant in NY. The food is excellent and consistent. The team is the greatest. The new location is awesome and the interior design is fabulous!!!“

“In praise of Paola.

We came to & Son UES to celebrate some recent work accomplishments and left delighted. We had an early reservation and were, for a time, the only guests in the space. Our server, Paola, made it feel like a private dining experience. When another table came in and abruptly left, Paola handled it with calm and professionalism. The food and drinks were excellent (burger and French dip were AMAZING, fries were crispy, espresso martini was divine) and we’re already making plans to return to try other dishes on the menu.

If Paola’s manager is reading this, give her a raise! She deserves it!“

“They have great steak but their burger is the top! Simple classic with nothing more or less and just right with great meats. We rated it No.: 1. Even they changed the menu of the burger but it is still the same good burger which is more important. The waiters, know almost all of them, always nice.“

“very nice place to be perfect meat and very quick service“

“Had a great experience here! William was amazing and so accommodating! Definitely will be coming back for sure! Thank you“

“There was not a single negative thing with our trip here. The food was beyond our expectations and the service was even better!“

“Favorite spot in the area!“

“Our server, Delaney, was exceptionally helpful, adding immeasurably to our enjoyment of our meal. Each menu item we had was prepared exactly as requested. All staff were welcoming, which is why we return to this Capital Grille when visiting NYC.“

“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“

“Had an incredible evening at Cuerno. The complimentary drinks/chips made us feel immediately welcomed into the space. Our server Jillian was relaxed and professional while also giving us some fun recommendations that ended up making our experience perfect. The Taco Richi is one of the best first bites Ive ever had and the Clamachelda was the Tejano fix I’ve been looking for since moving to NYC. Can’t recommend this place enough. Five stars all around.“

“Nice place with big portions. The staff is great and they will constantly check on you and make sure if you're well or need anything. As I stated before. The portions are big. The price tag matches it, but coming to establishments such as these, it is kind of to be expected. As for the food, the Canadian bacon was very juicy and flavorful, the heart of lettuce salad was divine and light. The apple and bleu cheese complement the salad perfectly. The steaks come out on sizzling hot plates. I got the porterhouse for two with my partner, and we could barely finished half. They are quite hefty pieces. But cooked to perfect medium rare as we asked with a nice char on the outside. Loved this place and it was a great experience.“

“This was a lovely experience. We let the restaurant know that it was our anniversary and they decorated the table specially and gave us a little card, along with their best wishes. The food, as always, was delicious with perfectly cooked steak and the Generous Pour was plenty of really good wine (and maybe a bit more than enough!)“

“Great food and friendly service!“

“We dined here for our last night in New York, and were so glad we did. The food was outstanding, steaks cooked as requested, sides of Steakhouse fries, sauteed broccoli and mushrooms were perfectly delicious accompaniments. Our waiter was very pleasant and happy to make suggestions or recommendations. All staff were courteous and welcoming. We would be very happy to recommend and would definitely visit again.“

“Had been there for dinner, but tried it for lunch. Benjamin was much quieter, but there was still more than enough staff to keep things moving. The lunch specials were very reasonably priced and we were very pleasantly surprised by the large size of the steak portions. The guests that were meeting us had an issue at the front desk, but management surprised us with a free round of drinks to make it right. Highly recommended.“

“Great food and service!!!“

“The aesthetics of this restaurant was to absolutely die for! The waiters were super nice and polite and the food was absolutely amazing. They made my partner's birthday so wonderful. I adored every moment of it and I'd definitely go back when I get the chance! 10/10 best experience ever!“

“Highly recommend the DK Rib Eye with DK Potatoes & asparagus.“

“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.“
