50 Best Steakhouses in New York

“If I could rate the service 10 stars I would. Victoria was the absolute BEST waitress I’ve ever had at a bottomless brunch experience. She consistently checked in on us, and I truly had the best birthday ever with 10 of my closest friends. Despite being a larger group, we felt cared for and attended to. It was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better day because of Victoria“

“Stopped by here for dinner and drinks with my husband on a Wednesday evening. We were seated quickly despite being walk ins. Everything was fantastic, especially the empire filet for two and the wild blueberry cocktail. Thank you Ben for your amazing service! Would definitely come back.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Fantastic meal and experience! Everyone was so welcoming and kind. We came here for a friend’s birthday and the staff made everyone feel very special. Our server knew the menu like the back of her hand and made great suggestions for the table.

Really great place. Will be coming back again!“

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

“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.“

“An absolute must-visit for steak lovers in NYC! The moment you walk into Palermo Argentinian Bistro, the cozy, rustic atmosphere sets the perfect mood. We started with the beef empanadas, which were fried to a flawless, shatteringly crisp golden brown. For the main event, the skirt steak was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with authentic Argentine flavor—especially when paired with their vibrant chimichurri. Service was fast and welcoming, and the wine selection perfectly complemented the meal. Don't sleep on the flan with dulce de leche for dessert. I will absolutely be back!“

“Looking for relaxing evening at a nearby place, I stopped into Empire Steak. Service was excellent and helpful with lots of recommendations. I went with the beef short ribs and I've never seen ribs this ginormous. The meat fell of the bone and through the folk - scrumptious.“

“Favorite spot in the area!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Service and food was superb and our waitress, Taylor, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was attentive, sweet, and made the dinner that much more memorable. The lobster and crab cake appetizer is 10/10.

Thank you to the hostess, who held my items that required refrigeration until dinner was over. If I need to schedule another business meeting, the Capital Grille will be top of mind.“

“Amazing experience, absolutely spot on with the steak and the temperature. Savory cream of spinach and the best home fries. Highly recommend! And please ask for Gent, he will make sure everything is perfect - GREAT SERVICE. Fabulous, COMING BACK.“

“Prime ribs lived up to our expectations and hype - tender, succulent, and lucious. I especially loved the crust with a smoky, peppery flavor throughout.

The French fries however was disappointing- too skinny for a steakhouse standard; kinda feel like they are from McDonald’s

Everything else of the prime rib experience, from the bread and butter, to the creamed corn and Caesar salad, were so innovative and delicious! I love the candied anchovies in the Caesar salad - I want to recreate that at home!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“Food is amazing and ambience was great“

“Crane Club pulls off the rare trick of feeling both serious and easy. Had my birthday dinner there and the room did half the work before the food arrived: warm wood, low light, a fire going, the kind of energy where you settle in and stop checking your phone.
Service was the headline. Attentive without hovering, generous with recommendations, and clearly read the table within ten minutes. Knew when to top off, when to disappear, and when to slide in a candle without making a production of it.
Kitchen shows restraint where a lot of New York spots overreach. Cocktail program is sharp; wine list has range and someone there can steer you without upselling.
No shortage of places to celebrate something in this city. Crane Club is one of the small handful that actually understands what a celebration is supposed to feel like. Already plotting the next reason to come back.“

“Really great experience here. Lauren took care of us and was honestly a huge part of why the night was so enjoyable. Super personable, easy to talk to, and just made us feel really comfortable the whole time. My daughter loved her and keeps asking when we’re going back to see her again .You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and it really made the experience stand out. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

Only small feedback would be that the substitution charges for pretty much any change were a little annoying.“

“The porterhouse for 2 was what we went with for my girlfriend's birthday dinner and it was phenomenal! The service was great and the ambiance even better. We were also watching the Knicks beat the Spurs in game 2 to end a perfect night! Will be back soon!“

“Great steaks and excellent service!“

“乾式熟成牛肉讚人均消費約NT$2500“

“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“

“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.“

“My family and I dined here after a Broadway play as part of our birthday celebration for my wife.

The server and sommelier made it a point to make our experience special and started off our meal with a glass of champagne. Our server, Ben, was excellent and walked us through the menu choices and helped with a few selections and then took great care of us throughout the evening.

The Sommelier, Jazz, helped us pick the perfect bottle of wine based on our wine preferences and within the budget we gave him. He checked back in several times to make sure we were happy with the wine and the meal.

Everything we ordered was excellent, Hamachi, Steak Tartare, Filet, Wagyu Rib Cap, cocktails and desert. We loved it all! When Jonathan, the General Manager, stopped by to say hello and check on us we told him we no longer have to search for a favorite steak house, we just found it.“

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

“Such a beautiful place to dine and unwind! The atmosphere was amazing, but what truly made my experience unforgettable was Yenesis. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and gave the BEST recommendations — every suggestion was perfect. Her positive energy and genuine hospitality completely elevated my night at Capital. Definitely coming back and asking for Yenesis again!!“

“Food are surprisingly not bad. Ordered a poke bowl and Mrs D fried chicken. The fried chicken was juicy, and skin was crunchy and crispy though it is more of a dried spice type of chicken. There is a bench with 4 tiny tables for dine-up and 2 bathroom. Will definitely order again.“

“Our waitress Marcella was absolutely fantastic. I came in planning on getting the New York strip, which is my usual at most steakhouses… instead she recommended the Rib Cap. Something I never would’ve chosen. Turned out to be fantastic. Excellent food, excellent service.“

“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“

“We dined here on a recent birthday trip to New York. The portions were huge and the restaurant had an fun old world feel. My first steak was over and the manager made it right. The waiter originally disputed the fact that the steak was over.“

“Quintessential New York steakhouse with service to match.

This is the NYC of the movies you watched as a kid (or your parents/grandparents did). The menu is short but quality, the hash browns are browned in animal products, the service cannot be beat and the meat is perfectly seared and at the temp you ask for. (The family style dessert plate will blow your mind.)

Special shout-out to our regular waiter, Hector (whose TikTok is also amazing), and the wine list which is long, good, and more interesting than almost all of its competitors.“

“Great atmosphere and great food“

“Awesome dining experience. Best in NYC!!“

“The Capital Grille Wall Street was the perfect setting for our Commencement Celebration for our daughter. They wrote a congratulation card, decorated the table and presented her with a complimentary dessert plate. Amy was FANTASTIC to work with. Thank you, Amy.“

“Restaurant was more crowded than expected for 6:30pm on a Thursday night. We got 2 slices of bacon as an appetizer......mine had 2 very long hairs in it. They brought me another slice with a “no one working has long hair so idk how the hair ended up there”. I was honestly surprised they didn't even offer to comp me the 1 piece of bacon ($15+). It would have been a nice gesture and only $15 of a $300+ bill. But other than that the food was good. We got tomahawk steak for 2, mashed, mushrooms and asparagus.“

“Beautiful food and the service was perfect. Would definitely be visiting again“

“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!”“

“From the moment we walked into The Eighty Six, the experience was flawless. Christopher Mateo, Sherief, and the entire staff delivered a level of hospitality that’s becoming rare in NYC. Every detail — from the ambiance to the service to the energy of the room — felt intentional and elevated.

The staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, attentive without ever being overbearing, and created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and intimate. You can tell there’s real pride behind this establishment.

The Eighty Six isn’t just dinner — it’s an experience. Easily one of the most impressive new spots in the West Village. Looking forward to coming back again soon. Highly recommend.“

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