There’s something energizing about The Dynamo Room that sets it apart from your typical coffee shop. The bold decor, creative touches, and spacious layout make it feel more like a collaborative studio than a café. It’s a perfect environment for deep focus or casual brainstorming, with plenty of natural light and seating options that cater to solo visitors and small groups alike. The vibe is elevated but not intimidating a welcoming space for anyone looking to slow down or dive into work.
I had a pour-over coffee and a seasonal salad, and both were excellent. The coffee was rich and expertly brewed, and the salad was fresh, crisp, and satisfying. The baristas were kind and clearly knowledgeable, always happy to answer questions or offer recommendations. The Dynamo Room doesn’t just serve coffee it curates a full experience for those who appreciate creativity, comfort, and quality.

Amazing food, drinks, and service. Our ribeye was cooked to perfection, the beef tallow fries are to die for, and our server was very attentive. However, it was hard to have a great time when one of the managers was breathing down our necks constantly asking how everything was going while we were eating are main dishes. I even saw him pulling up chairs and sitting with other guests while they were eating. I just wanted a relaxing dinner with by husband. I just thought that was very odd and overall a weird experience.

These reviews are misleading and I’m curious to know how many of them are paid/promoted and due to the newness of the establishment or out of town concert goers who have zero standards. I made a reservation here for my partner’s birthday based on reviews that the experience would be personal and staff would be exceptional. We were met with a busy restaurant and lack of attentiveness. The food is not stand out in any way so if the atmosphere and service are nothing to rave about, this place is not worth your time or money. I’ve had more positive experiences at chain restaurants. There are a dozen other steakhouses in the city that can deliver equivalent or better steak and service. Mind you, we ordered the dry aged steak, caviar spaghetti, multiple sides/sauces/wines…truly disappointing. Definitely will not be back. Leave this place to the tourists.

Stopped by The Dynamo Room before heading to MSG, and it was such a great find. The interior is stunning—modern, stylish, and spacious. The bar area and outdoor lounge give off serious vacation vibes, while the dining room feels open and relaxed, with plenty of space between tables. I’ve heard their happy hour is offered daily, and I’m definitely coming back to check that out!
The food was delicious. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and meaty—only three shrimp, but high quality. I had the salmon, which was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and light. My friend ordered the French dip sandwich, which looked amazing and came as generous portion with fries. We also had dirty martinis, and they were made to perfection.
Service started off strong—our order was taken quickly and a few different staff members checked in early on. However, once the food and drinks arrived, the follow-up disappeared. We had to wait to order another round after our meal since no one came back to the table.
That said, the overall experience was still fantastic. Great location if you’re heading to MSG or passing through Penn, and the ambiance alone is reason to return. Looking forward to going back soon!

The Dynamo Room made my wife's birthday extra special! Manager Manny was incredible—his attention to detail and hospitality truly stood out. The service was over the top, and every part of the evening—from the drinks and appetizers to the main course—was absolutely amazing. The restaurant’s décor is definitely award-worthy; it sets a stunning atmosphere. Penn 33 Plaza just raised the bar with this gem!
Recently opened from the team of Sunday Hospitality. A phenomenal happy hour special, and exactly what was needed in the MSG area.

This is your new modern steakhouse. Set back from the street right next to MSG / Penn, stepping into the dining room, bar or open air terrace transports you out of the hustle and bustle of the city. From the team that brought you Sunday in Brooklyn, Rule of Thirds and Chelsea Café, Chefs Derek and Jaime are really turning out tasty fun dishes while still covering all the bases for traditional steakhouse.
The raw bar chilled lobster is beautifully plated with bite size sections separated by different sliced pickles, as is the Sicilian crudo trio of fish sliced thin like a composed terrine.
Everything was quite delicious but the standouts at the start (for me) were the Saturn tiki cocktail with makrut lime, the Galaxy Surf Club kalamata gin martini meets bubbly libation, Parker House rolls with garlic butter, deviled lobster cocktail style, garlicky clam and leek toast, perfectly seasoned BBQ bone marrow, and caviar spaghetti with pancetta and mimolette cheese.
There's a variety of steak cuts to choose from which are wheeled on a cart to your tableside at the start of your meal with subsequent education from your server. The Shawn's Deckle cut was our absolute favorite, the highly marbled tender ribeye cap full of beefy flavor. We also had the 50-day dry-aged ribeye for two and a happy accident of a filet mignon (a cut I never order) cooked to perfection sitting in a BBQ beurre blanc sauce, topped with crispy onion rings and finished with a creamy Oscar crab sauce - the combination was phenomenal.
The sides and sauces were on point as well - we loved the hash browns and creamed spinach. We ordered the au jus, herbaceous Dynamo sauce and horseradish cream, but the aforementioned sauce extravaganza on the filet was likely my favorite.
Desserts consisted of impressive carrot and chocolate cake layered high, and a refreshing seasonal housemade sorbet of strawberry and ginger.

Everything about our dinner was incredible. We started at the bar with some appetizers and a few cocktails and then sat down in the dining room when it opened at 5. All of the food was delicious, but what really stood out was the service - from the bartender, to server, and the manager - everyone treated us so warmly. We truly enjoyed all of our dishes and we will definitely be back to try some of the cuts of steaks, which looked amazing. In addition to the food and service, it’s a beautiful restaurant in a unique location right next to penn station and MSG. This would be a great dinner before a Knicks game or catching a concert. Very smart idea!

The cocktails are soooooo good. The martinis are all unique but perfect. I had the tuxedo #4 and it’s a perfect slightly fruity gin martini. The vesper martini is also so delicious! They make it with soju!
We had the fries and they were the perfect size to crispy ratio.
Not to mention, the decor is *beautiful*! Every detail is more thoughtful than the last. It’s somehow both cozy and light. You feel cool enough for mad men with the warmness of a neighborhood bar.
