50 Best Steakhouses in New York

“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!“

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

“Came here for an anniversary dinner and had one of the best steaks I have ever had! Cooked exactly as I asked and came out at the perfect temperature. We had about 4 servers come out and help distribute food onto our plates and checked on us multiple times through the dinner“

“This place was one of the best brunches I've ever experienced. Food was incredible & super allergy-friendly. The staff was super attentive and helpful. Bottomless brunch was actually bottomless- we never had an empty glass before they refilled. 100% would recommend to anyone!!!“

“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!“

“Absolutely love this place. Been many times. Consistent quality food and service. This is a one of a kind gem in Manhattan“

“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!“

“Make sure you get the 🌽 it is delicious Amazing steak and the sides are excellent along with the service I can’t recommend highly enough“

“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 went for my grandsons, 32 birthday and he loves good restaurants it was a little tuff for me drink's was different and the understanding of the menu I'm old so I needed my flashlight to see the menu but the food was great everything was great and I love this for my grandsons and we get to try different food“

“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.“

“This was the best meal we've had in NYC and the staff couldn't have done anything better. Our steak was perfectly cooked and so tender! The grilled octopus (which we don't often find) was delicious and one baked potato is plenty for two. Finished with NY cheesecake and tiramisu-so yummy! Thanks to Lorik for stellar service. Will definitely dine here again.“

“Favorite spot in the area!“

“The food was amazing and staff was very knowledgeable“

“Thanks to Laura we had a great booth that was also private and my friends coming from Europe really enjoyed and absolutely loved the food. Petrit is amazing and it is always a pleasure when he caters to my table. Thank you!!!! Another reason why I'm a loyal customer.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing experience! The staff was absolutely 10/10 – super friendly, attentive, and professional. The food was also 10/10, perfectly cooked steak and everything tasted incredible. The atmosphere was great and the service made the whole evening even better. Definitely coming back again!“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“This place absolutely lives up to the expectation when it comes to food, service, atmosphere, and the oodles of money you will pay for your meal. Quick tips are go early (because by 6:30/7 it will start to fill up) or during the week, order the burger (they only make 6 per DAY), and reserve a high top seat by the bar (just my preference but it made me feel like I was in a less stuffy/fancy shmancy restaurant).

Jk about this being a short review. Anyway I loved all of the appetizers we got to start and would order them again and again. The bread service had a cheddar biscuit that was unnecessarily good, herbed focaccia, and whipped butter and labneh as dips. I had to stop myself from going crazy on that alone. The tuna tartare with shiso, sesame, and seaweed was light, fresh, and the flavor didn’t overpower the tuna itself. Tuna grade was also a 10/10 and just melted in my mouth. The oven baked cherry stone clams with pickled pepper, garlic bread crust, snd spicy pepper butter was creamy was deeply flavorful and blended so well together. If any critique here, I would ask for the breadcrumbs to be toasted a bit longer but I’m just being annoying. Then their take on a Caesar, the little gems salad, with hazelnuts, an anchovy vinaigrette, and leeks was just surprising enough while still following the traditional Caesar taste… so exactly what I wanted to feel like I was doing something different.

As for our mains, the bone in filet mignon just melted. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned intentionally but sparingly so the meat really shined. The cappelletti with butternut squash, brown butter, candied pepitas, and toasted sage was such a cozy dish, it tasted how the Fall season feels! If I were to critique the dish, I wish it was served hot and not warm; that would’ve brought its level up to a 15 instead of 11 out of ten. And the star of the show… the bar burger! Of course it’s not on the menu and as I said above, they only make 6 burgers a day… so obviously I had to get it and was not disappointed in the slightest! Nothing fancy here: melted cheese (don’t ask what kind), medium rare burger, light tomatoes sauce (fancy ketchup) and a sourdough bun. Think that’s what haven tastes like? The burger was HUGE so I will be eating the other half for breakfast.

Had the most delicious cab that was sooo expensive… so I’ll never have it again but it was fruity and bold in all the right ways.“

“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.“

“Food is amazing and ambience was great“

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

“We love this place. Have tried a few other nearby steakhouses (stk, sparks, Ben & jacks) but Benjamin is the best! The service is fantastic- Jony took excellent care of us. Wine list is vast, like 18 pages long. Prices aren't cheap, but portions are sizable. For example, the colossal shrimp are really colossal. The porterhouse steak can't be beat. And the house sauce is absolutely lovely. Although we barely had any room for dessert, we finished the lava cake and the creme Brule.“

“This is always a great place for dinner. The setting is elegant and has a quiet ambiance. The decor is a tribute to times past and a nostalgic New York. The staff is especially friendly and courteous. Nik took extremely good care of us tonight and made us feel like VIPs. The food was top tier, as always. The bone in ribeye had the right amount of sear and juiciness and flavor are perfect. The branzino was light and grilled to perfection. We had a wonderful experience and I would recommend Empire Steak House to anyone looking for an excellent dinner experience.“

“The Hype is REAL! 🥩🔥
OMG where do I even start? The food is unreal and the staff is so classy! They literally treated us like royalty.
The Steak Frites was the best I’ve ever had—literally melted in my mouth. That Ribeye was cooked to perfection: crispy on the outside and super juicy inside. And don't even get me started on the mashed potatoes and spinach... I’ve never had mash that creamy in my entire life! No wonder the chef has a Michelin star!
We went for Restaurant Week; my husband got the lunch special and that Salmon Tartare was next level. Even the bread, the butter, and the dessert were a total 10/10.
Seriously, you guys HAVE to check this place out. Worth every penny🔥

I inhaled half the food before I could even snap a pic, I literally couldn't wait! 😂“

“The service was incredible. My server had excellent recommendations, and my steak was cooked exactly right. The ambiance of the restaurant is classy and perfect for a date night or even a dressy lunch. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a well cooked meal with variety on the menu and a uniquely delicious experience.“

“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.“

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

“Great steaks and excellent service!“

“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“

“The Capital Grille is a special place for me. It was my first great American steakhouse where I was introduced to the science of steaks. It happened many years ago, and since then I've been to many great steakhouses, but Capital Grille will always be a special one for me.
So when deciding on a place to celebrate 3 birthdays with my girlfriends, the Capital Grille was a no-brainer. And it didn't disappoint.
Everything was great - service, food, ambiance. I personally love their wedge salad. It's not a complicated salad, but they do it specifically well.
Our steaks were cooked perfectly as we ordered. The wague fillet mignon was out of this world good. Truffle parmesan fries hit the right spot.
A complimentary dessert was a cherry 🍒 on top.
Evening well spent.“

“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“

“Went for Valentines. Set menu only. We asked for a la carte but wasnt an option. We had steak and sea bass. Both were tasty . Steak was on the rare side of medium. Massive portions!!! Big fish and 14oz filet .
Service was not great, had to ask for water and wine to be topped up.
Overall a big hearty meal but over priced for what it was.
For 2 people with wine was $480“

“Came here with my parents while they were in town and it was a highlight of the trip. Jorge and Nikka were out servers abs they went above and beyond. The food was amazing! We had the rib cap, sea bass, and lamb chops, with mashed potatoes, Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and baked potato, and it was all exquisite. The Basque cheesecake was a recommendation we loved, even though we were so full! We'll definitely return and recommend this restaurant to others.“

“I highly recommend this place! Our experience was 20 out of 10 thanks to our server JP. He was so knowledgeable and detailed with every dish we received. If you want next level Mexican cuisine or want to impress a date with a great food and service…come to Cuerno and ask for JP! Trust!“

“Great atmosphere and great food“

“We had a great experience at Medium Rare in New York. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the steak and sauce, and everything was perfectly cooked. A special thank you to our waiter, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“The Capital Grille was a grand experience. The food, the service, and the ambience were all sublime. It was my birthday when I visited and they made it very special for me and the person I shared a meal with. I will definitely be coming back to try the eclectic menu and different steak cuts!“

“My husband and I absolutely love BLT Prime. The seafood and steaks are always perfectly prepared . The ambiance is sophisticated and beautiful. The service is fantastic and we always leave looking forward to the next time we can dine there.“

“We were a party of 11 celebrating my granddaughter's birthday. We came in at 11pm, the manager, waiter, his staff, and cook were very accommodating. Service was excellent. The only complaint 4 ordered ny strip steaks and they were too salty. A lovely evening. Thank you.“

“Great food and friendly service!“
