Restaurant in NYC

My FH birthday is next week and I want to go to a steakhouse in NYC. Can anyone recommend a good one. Thanks so much.

Perhaps its unoriginal, but I love Mortons! Mmm Mmm good!

Re: Restaurant in NYC

You can try - Angelo and Maxies or Sparks. Also, Smith and Wollensky. These are all excellent. Also, I've heard great reviews for Del Frisco's in Midtown although I've never been there. You can go to Zagat.com and get info on all these places. Good luck!

Re: Restaurant in NYC

I went to Ruth Chris' for the first time and loved it! It's on 51st street (or close to it)

The Palm steakhouse is supposed to be one of the best steak housees in the city. I think there are a couple of locations - the one downtown is supposed to be a little better.

Thanks girls. We have been to Angelo and Maxies. I was also think of Peter Lugers. Any feedback on that place.

Re: Restaurant in NYC

Peter Lugers (in Brooklyn) is totally overrated, IMO. Its pretty dingy inside and the steak was nothing special. Now the cream spinach, thats another story But honestly I felt it was overpriced and not all that. Go to Del Frisco's - its great.

My brother lives in Manhattan and is a steakhouse aficionado. He recommends Sparks or Ruths Chris (which is actually where he went just last night for his birthday). Have fun!

Steakhouses .... let's see we've been to these places!

Morton's
Cite ... you can get a good pre fixe/ wine tasting menu ... good atmostphere
Palm ... excellent
Angelo Maxie's .... great food & atmosphere ... also a great bar scene!!

Maloney & Porcelli ... a more casual place but great food
Mark Joseph's ... unbelievable but very expensive
Oak Room ... at the Plaza Hotel
Post House ... has a great reputation
Sparks .. very boys club, but great food.

here's the link to zagat's ... steakhouses in NYC! good luck

Re: Restaurant in NYC

ditto jennyg re: peter lugers...I went there for my bday 2 years ago and was completely unimpressed...the food was good, but not the best I've had. and its not romantic either, which is what I wanted. I'd try any of the other suggestions mentioned above!

Re: Restaurant in NYC

re Peter Luger's ...

JMO .. but I think there are better places out there. Is there one in the city tho. If you're thinking Queens, then I recommed Uncle Jack's in Bayside!

Re: Restaurant in NYC

FYI - just incase you do decide on Peter Luger's, you should know it's CASH ONLY...

alot of people don't know that.....

or they have a Peter Luger's Credit Card!!
funny!

but I agree with the above...it's overrated!

Re: Restaurant in NYC

Every man I know absolutely loves Peter Luger...but for me its a complete waste.

The Old Homestead comes highly recommended.

Re: Restaurant in NYC

I highly reccomend Angelo & Maxies....I like the atomosphere at the one on Park Ave. best.

Re: Restaurant in NYC

Dh has been to tons and said DelFrisco's (sp?) has been the best. (He goes out with work alot - oh I miss those days of the corporate card!)

(Lots of people have also told me Luger's is overrated too.)
