50 Best Steakhouses in New York

“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“

“Great staff! Very attentive. Awesome ambience. Yes, it's been said before, but that mutton chop is out if this world!! Thank you for having us. Legendary experience. Highly recommend.“

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

“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!“

“Gui Steakhouse – NYC Times Square is not your usual steakhouse. they have korean twist to some of their menu. their attention to details is top tier. 
we went for a birthday celebration and our menu has “happy birthday” on it 🫶🏻 they actually paid attention to your resy request.

what we tried:
🥩 caviar a5 wagyu katsu sandwich ($58)—it fits the definition of a perfect bite. the soft bread with crunchy breadcrumb, followed by melt in the mouth wagyu with pieces of caviar.
🥩 prime rib ($79)—this is the softest and wholesome bite of the night. a mist order here. i prefer dipping rather than soaking the sauce over the rib. the meat itself is really good.
🥩 wagyu kimchi fried rice ($32)—they add the smokey feeling to this one, which perfectly elevates the usual fried rice. it is a great intervention of asian taste during the meaty session.
🍹 espresso martini ($23)—my fav drink to order and it did not disappoint 🫶🏻

the vibe is more like higher end restaurant. but the server makes you feel like home. it is perfect for couples or even big groups. save this for your next special occasion or just to satisfy your meat craving ✨“

“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!“

“Lobster cocktail was very good; alcoholic drinks were very good; Empire filet was terrific with the home fries. We were celebrating our 53rd wedding anniversary and my 53 rd birthday. Albert, one of the managers was wonderful and comped our dessert and after dinner drinks.“

“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 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 steaks and excellent service!“

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

“The Crane Club is the kind of place that turns a great night out into something truly memorable. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels celebratory, refined yet welcoming, with every member of the staff genuinely invested in making the evening special.

The steak is nothing short of spectacular, perfectly seared with a caramelized crust and tender, juicy center that melts with each bite. You can taste the care in its preparation and the quality of the cut.

The sweet potatoes are an unexpected standout — silky, subtly sweet, and beautifully balanced with a touch of seasoning that complements the richness of the steak. It’s a perfect example of how The Crane Club takes comfort classics and transforms them into something elevated and memorable.

One of the most special touches of the evening was the champagne toast for a birthday celebration. It wasn’t just a gesture, it felt personal, joyful, and perfectly orchestrated.

The service deserves its own standing ovation. The sommelier and wine director curated pairings that elevated every course, thoughtful, precise, and clearly driven by passion and deep knowledge. The entire team, from the servers to the hosts, radiated warmth and professionalism without ever feeling overbearing. It’s rare to see hospitality executed with this much grace and attention to detail.

At The Crane Club, everything from the food to the service to the ambiance works in harmony. It’s a place that makes you feel celebrated, whether you’re there for a milestone or simply an unforgettable meal.

Special thank you to Abe for checking in on us throughout the night and ensuring it was a social experience. Cannot recommend highly enough!“

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

“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.⭐️“

“The food was amazing and staff was very knowledgeable“

“Took a friend for a birthday lunch today. The table was nicely decorated with some birthday confetti and there was a lovely birthday card for him. Lunch was excellent from the butternut squash soup and Caesar salad apps to our NY strip steaks and sides. They added a sweet ending with a dessert that said Happy Birthday. Thank you so much!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband wanted a good steak and I chose this restaurant based on its location and reviews. Well, our experience surpassed everything I had read! First of all the ambiance is wonderful. The restaurant was a theater back in the very old days. On the wall is a huge, fabulous picture of Edith Piaf singing there. It is relatively small yet intimate. The staff, to a person, was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious. It was a Monday night so there weren't a lot of people there. Therefore we almost felt like we were at a private dinner. We were there some 2 1/2 hours and no one pressured us to leave. It was first-rate!“

“Royal 35 Steakhouse offers a classic New York steakhouse experience with a touch of sophistication. The dry-aged steaks are outstanding—juicy, tender, and full of deep, rich flavor. The lobster mac and cheese and creamed spinach make perfect sides, while the shrimp cocktail and crab cakes are fresh and flavorful starters. The service is polished and friendly, and the atmosphere feels elegant without being overly formal. From start to finish, everything is done with care and attention to detail. A solid pick for anyone looking for great steak and timeless hospitality in Midtown.“

“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.“

“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 steak was great ,I ordered the newyork strip. But the sides were bad,the asparagus was under cooked , and the the potatoes were way over cooked and hard to eat. The staff handled our complaints fairly well. The language barrier seemed to be interfering, they seemed to have a hard time responding to the complaints“

“The food was excellent! I ordered the New York strip, and it was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and full of taste. The service was even better! Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel special. I'll definitely be coming back! Jose was our server and he was great!“

“We celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary at Sparks. This may be the best steak restaurant in the world, much less NYC. The ambiance is amazing. Dinner was outstanding. We ordered the filet (medium) and medallions (medium rare) with a side of creamed spinach and cheese cake for desert. Our waiter, Juan, has been with the restaurant 32 years. He made sure we got to the play on time and made us feel special. Can't wait to come back!“

“Wonderful service and excellent menu!“

“Great atmosphere and great food“

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

“Everything was nice. It seemed to me that the server could have used more help. It looked like he was waiting every table in the upper section of the restaurant. He did a GREAT job handling everything but another server up there might have been nicer. The food was really tasty. I just wish it would have come out hotter, it was warm enough to eat upon being served. I personally don't mind having my meal cool a little in front of me. Andres our server was terrific. The drinks were very good as well...“

“always an outstanding dining experience.“

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

“Service was sloppy. Having dined here many times before I was very upset seeing my ordered cocktail sitting on the bar for 10 minutes before I got up to get it myself. Staff did not seem to care. We asked for cold apps then hot apps which we are always accommodated with and were met with resistance by waiter who then brought a cold salad with hot polpette. Our waiter was seemed to basically ignore us and was totally wrapped up with a large table. We chose to have our anniversary dinner here and were very disappointed.“

“WONDERFUL!! The food here is ALWAYS impeccable!! The quality and portions will have you leaving with a food coma!! It was my birthday and they sang me happy birthday and brought out a dessert WITH A CANDLE!! Such a lovely surprise!! It was the best time! Absolutely loved my time!“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Love this place !!! I come often the best porterhouse around the sides are well done and seafood is sublime Whether it's these bad salmon or tuna! Go for the deserts the Sunday will bring you back in time or squeeze in a classic pecan pie House Cabernet not bad at all with large pours Kudos to Wolfgang's far outclasses Peter Lugers no gimmicks just great food“

“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!“

“Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous venons dîner dans ce restaurant et la viande est vraiment très bonne. Le service est impeccable. Le cadre est très agréable. Seul bémol, le prix mais à New York, les Steackhouse sont toujours très chers.“

“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“

“Fantastic food. We went there twice so far. Everything from the hostess to the tacos and apps (esp the cauliflower!! To die for) are absolutely amazing. Drinks too. There was one small issue with the tortillas once and when I asked for a new one it couldn’t have been smoother. Easily becoming one of our fav in the city“

“If you decide to impress and enjoy a good meal the capital grille is the spot. My wife and I enjoyed this elegant establishment in lower Manhattan in the evening which makes it more romantic or just special. The clams were amazing and steak yum . It's dimly lit for great ambiance. And has a old bank safe inside . The special occasion for us was my birthday 🎂“

“Wonderful experience at Jonnie’s, great food, atmosphere and service all around.“

“At the beginning of the service they provided what we thought were complimentary glasses of Presico for our anniversary only to find out that we were charged for them at the end of the meal when we had not even asked for them. It was disappointing since that was our first meal experience in NYC.“
