50 Best Steakhouses in New York

“First time at this restaurant and it was the best food I had during my week long trip in NY.

Shrimp and grits dish is excellent. Special shout out the staff Ana and V. I for attentive service and hospitality. Will definitely come back here my next visit to NY.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“My favorite local steak frites spot! I always get the same order of petite filet, it’s SO GOOD and served with the best ever fries!!! Shoutout to the manager Andres and chef Adam 🙌 amazing service and food. Love the team here“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Favorite spot in the area!“

“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!“

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

“Had such a great experience at Benjamin Steakhouse! From the moment we walked in, Joanna and Arianna were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and professional. They greeted us with such positive energy and made us feel taken care of right away. Their hospitality really stood out and made our experience even better. Amazing service and such a lovely atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“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.“

“This is my friends go to place and now one of mine as well, with good reason. I was here a few time when they were right on 42nd Street and am loving the new spot on 45th Street. The food never disappoints from the apps, to the sides, to of course the steak. These days I am usually at the bar and when I am lucky Tyler is my bartender. Always a smile, always attentive, professional, and a great mixologist. Hard to pick favorites but I am a huge fan of the baby lamp chops when they have them and the lobster-crab cake as well.“

“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 had a great experience celebrating my best friend’s 40th birthday (9.6.26) at Empire Steak House on East 50th Street! 🥂🎉
The service was amazing! A special thank you to Rexhap and Enis for taking such great care of us. The entire staff was extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.
The food was cooked to perfection! My filet mignon was easily a 10/10! 😋🥩 Everything from the food to the service and atmosphere made the evening feel special
Overall, we had such a great time! I definitely recommend Empire Steak House for a date night or celebrating a special milestone! We’ll definitely be back! ❤“

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

“Went for my birthday dinner and had an AMAZING experience! The service was immaculate, and our waiter's recommendations were a hit. For drinks, we had the Roseate (a creative take on the lychee martini), Pornstar Martini, Gulf Stream, and Birds of Paradise, all delicious! We ordered the prawns, Parmigiano Reggiano-Aged NY Strip Steak, lobster & shrimp spaghetti, asparagus, and mashed sweet potato, and everything was so delicious. The attention to detail is impressive, from the gorgeous décor to the impeccable hospitality. Such a lovely experience! I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and great food“

“Food is amazing and ambience was great“

“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.“

“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.“

“My partner took us here for our anniversary recently and the overall experience was INCREDIBLE. Every single staff member was extremely accommodating and welcoming. It was a very warm and charming environment. The lighting was perfect, especially for a romantic dinner. Every dish and drink that came to our table did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and refreshing. This place is a bit more high end but the cost is completely fair for everything we got. It was worth every penny. I would definitely come here again! Thank you to all the staff for making our first experience so wonderful.“

“Great steaks and excellent service!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“乾式熟成牛肉讚人均消費約NT$2500“

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

“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!”“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Absolutely incredible experience at The Capital Grille on Wall Street. From start to finish, the service was truly top-notch—and the martinis were to die for! Nicole was hands down one of the best bartenders around. She was absolutely amazing, and Chris was right there behind her making sure everything was perfect. Ashlee was incredibly attentive and seemed to anticipate my needs before I even had to ask. Abdul was an amazing food runner and showed the kind of attention to detail that really stands out—he was there offering fresh pepper before I even thought to ask for it. And to sum it all up, Jeffrey was one of the most accommodating managers I've ever encountered. He made sure the entire experience ran flawlessly and genuinely made us feel taken care of. You can tell his leadership is a huge part of why this location runs so well.yy Outstanding drinks, outstanding food, and, most importantly, exceptional hospitality. The Capital Grille Wall Street has an incredible team. We will absolutely be back!“

“This a curious space, with some tables outdoors and a rather deep seating area inside. The feeling is a rather classic and classy steakhouse, but slightly casual enough that you don't feel the need to dress up.
I came for lunch and was seated quick once the waiter saw me. It was pretty empty. They have a pretty good three course pre fixe for restaurant week. The steak will cost extra.
It's a quiet place playing some remixed pop in the background. You can have conversations without issue. Servers bring over the free bread and refill water often.
The food itself was okay. The steak had lovely char on it and was pink all the way through. But parts of it had a bit too much blackening and made it taste a bit burnt for some bites. Fries were good, and I could add seasoning myself. The bread was really good, with two sorts mixed in the basket with butter.
Overall, a good spot to bring people you haven't seen in a while for a nice lunch. They have specials even when restaurant week is over.“

“Niku X is definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in LA. The food is incredible—A5 Wagyu, king crab, and even tomahawk steak. Honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite because everything was so good🤩 The sea bass really stood out for me—so tender and flavorful. And the desserts? Amazing. The sesame cake, in particular, was a surprise hit. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is modern and spacious, which makes it really comfortable, and the service was excellent. If you’re into seafood or Wagyu, this place is a must-try. Definitely worth a visit!👍🏻“

“We had such an amazing dinner at The Eighty Six. Everything we ordered was incredible, but the potato croquettes with caviar and citrus-fed Wagyu were easily the standouts for me!
Sherief took such great care of us and was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He made the whole experience that much better. Amazing food, great service, and such a fun night. Definitely coming back!“
