50 Best Steakhouses in New York

“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!“

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

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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 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!“

“GM Jill greeted me with a big welcoming smile!
Jill is the consummate professional leading her team by a strong example !
Juanita our waitress created an “indulging environment”! Her service was outstanding - particulary when she served me my vodka Martini - chilled to perfection - poured into my glass up to the rim of the glass. We ordered house specialty beef & tuna plates - prepared to perfection - begun with my favorite jumbo shrimp cocktail.
We look forward to returning.
Bonnie from Manhattan.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“Food is amazing and ambience was great“

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

“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.“

“Outstanding as usual. When my husband and I are in New York we try to pass by; the meat was remarkable: juicy, savoury and well cooked. Also the ambience was great, the waiters competent, thank you Mike, and willing to help in the choice! Highly recommended.“

“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! 😂“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great steaks and 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“

“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.“

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

“Had a fantastic meal. The food was fantastic and the service was outlasting as well. Visited for my son's annual birthday trip to the city and picked Royal 35 for its diverse menu of great cuts and sides. My son loved the lobster tail/filet surf and turf and I got the bone-in rib eye. My steak was big and tasty but just a tad fattier than I prefer. German potatoes, mac and cheese (cheesy with a unique smokiness), creamed spinach, and mushrooms were awesome choices as sides. We don't drink so no comments for the wine connoisseurs out there. A surprise piece of birthday cheesecake for my son's special day was a nice final touch. Dinner was very pricey, but hey we're at a Manhattan steakhouse. Would definitely go back.“

“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“

“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!“

“We Visited for my daughter's FIT college graduation. From the moment we walked in the door it was an excellent experience. Great ambience, clean and friendly staff.. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. Everyone enjoyed their lunch. I would highly recommend you try Wolfgangs!!! “

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!👍🏻“

“I always love coming to PB Brasserie! The service is top-tier — everyone is so welcoming and always makes sure you’re having a great time and that your expectations are met. The food is consistently delicious, and no matter what I order, I always enjoy it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience!“
