The Grill came through with flavor and finesse. The food had depth rich, seasoned right, and plated with care. You can tell the chefs know balance. The service was solid but could’ve had a little more connection, that extra spark that turns a good night into a great one.
The atmosphere made up for it classy, confident, and calm, just how I like it. Overall, a place worth revisiting.
Louie K’s Up I rate with respect, but I keep it real. 🔥💯

Want to start by saying, the food was amazing and if I was just rating on food alone, I would have given a 5 out of 5.

However, the service for $$$$ restaurant should be top notch and the service was atrocious.

1) Our reservation was at 8:00 pm. We did not get seated until 8:20 pm.
2) It took awhile to get our menus. 2 tables to our left who sat after us received their menus and before us.
3) we told our captain that we have an onion allergy. The literal first thing the team brought out they mentioned caramelized onions…I felt awful for the team member who brought this dish out, clearly he had no idea there was an onion allergy.
4) the wine was not at all as described. We still liked it, but not what we were expecting. Our glasses were also empty at multiple times throughout the course and we had to refill our own glasses.
5) Spilled a fork into our drink then didn’t serve the rest of the dish.
6) Never checked on us once throughout the meal.
7) The bathroom was disgusting. There was water all over the floor, dirty and toilet paper all over the ground. I felt like I was in a frat room bathroom.

Overall great food. Service was extremely subpar for a restaurant of this quality and price. Would not go back because of it.

Great spot, had a fantastic steak and they really outdid themselves with pressing fresh pasta sauce. Definitely solid experience as they brought a number of things close to the table to cook, but the one thing that was a little bit disappointing was getting kicked out of the restaurant because they need the seat and moved over to a different area just for dessert.

Bar creates some strong drinks! Dessert tray was just ok.

The vibe here adds value to your meal. The kitchen makes good meals, the service is fast, and everyone is helpful. The service complemented the chef's imaginative preparation. Employees maintain kindness consistently. Ultimately, the food was fantastic.

An Exceptional New York Dining Experience
Dining here feels like stepping into the glamour and sophistication of Manhattan in the 1960s — elegant, lively, and effortlessly refined. Every detail, from the service to the ambiance, reflects the kind of timeless hospitality that makes eating out feel truly special.

The pasta à la presse was exquisite — rich, silky, and bursting with depth of flavor. The crab cake? Absolutely unforgettable — crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth tender inside. And the wine list is nothing short of extraordinary — one of the most impressive and thoughtfully curated selections you’ll find anywhere in the city.

This is a restaurant that defines what fine dining in New York should be. A must-visit for anyone who loves great food, great wine, and that unmistakable touch of old-school Manhattan magic.

We went here last night for dinner after the show, and absolutely loved it. They have later reservations available, which was perfect for us.

We had pasta with white truffles (they’re in season now) — so delicious. The oysters were super fresh, the steak was amazing, and for dessert we tried the lemon cake and another one that reminded me of a fancy version of a Snickers bar — both were incredible.

Everything was just perfect — the food, the service, the atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

We went to the Grill for a special occasion dinner that my boyfriend had kindly planned for my birthday. We knew this place was fancy and were excited to celebrate. I ordered a glass of wine and handed our waiter the menu. He grabbed the menu and told me he didn't think I would like that wine, and he would bring me something he recommended instead. My assumption was he would bring a glass of wine within the same range ($30). We were left with a sour taste in our mouth when the bill came and the wine our waiter ensured I had was $75 for a glass. We felt taken advantage of and honestly ruined what was supposed to be a special night. Sure, this place is nice. But I would recommend a steakhouse with a bit more integrity that is worth your money.

Perfect for business lunch / dinner. Pricey but you only live once. If expense account no brainer. If date night or tourist, you can do better. Room is a bit dated and cold given wood paneled walls and high ceilings w strong mid-century mad men vibes. Staff from front door to server team are pros. Everything Ala carte. Entrees cooked to perfection.

The Grill is such a special New York spot!

The room is gorgeous, with the energy feeling modern and fun. Lighting is beautiful and the layout is spectacular.

Service is outstanding. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the night feel seamless.

The food was even better than expected. The steak was amazing, with the duck and tuna being a must order. The sides are all perfectly paired with whatever you order as a main.

The whole experience, the atmosphere, the service, the food, makes it one of those places you’ll remember. If you’re looking for a true New York dining experience, The Grill is it.
