So part of my role has been, up until March, to entertain clients and I have been to each of these restaurants at least 20 times in the last 15 years and more then a few others in NYC but for steak I am curious how you think these ladies did summing it all up cause I think they did...

saving my own opinion until I see some comments

I ate at Wolfgang's about 14 years ago and I thought it was top notch.

It really really is!! and if I had to pick one omission these ladies should have included that would have been it. I think it gets diluted in the higher echelon of steak joints because of the multiple locations maybe?

There are older threads here on NYC steakhouses where you’ll find ample info and opinions. Bottom line is you mostly can’t go wrong with any of the top names. It really comes down to the particular steaks that the cook happened to grab from the fridge, if the steaks were adequately cooked to your desired temperature preference, and chemistry with the waitstaff.

Of course a more immediate factor is if the restaurant is still open for dining indoors during these Covid times.

WatchEater666 · 31 October 2020, 01:43 PM

I agree with the above. No real best for me either if you're just looking at food quality. Obviously atmosphere/decor is more of a personal thing.

And if you'll notice I've commented on most of them, if the subject tires you please move on or share your opinion, simply pointing out its been talked about before is the epitome of stating the obvious.

some may find this kind of a random choice, but my favorite steak in the city is at raoul’s in soho.

texasmade · 31 October 2020, 02:55 PM

Around the 3:18 mark

“OMG it like slides through the knife” as she’s struggling to cut the steak. Lol.

To be honest some of the best meals I've had in Manhattan have been when a reservation went south or a choice was changed. Best steak I ever had was in Vegas and it pains me to say it cause I'm a purist

Danny83 · 31 October 2020, 03:17 PM

They were very right about Peter Lugers. Marc we need a pic of the charge card lol. 3 very fine steakhouses that im happy to say I have been to. One more to try is Nusr-Et. Although I have not been to the one in NYC its great.

Embarrassed to say I do not know about Nusr-Et, any details you can share Danny? I am so out of the loop over the last 9 months it makes me sad...

Oh right Salt-bae, they got shut down in Boston because of crowds and COVID violations. All the middle aged house wives beat a path to his opening and it was a chit-show... I will wait for a good while before I darken that door step LOL

No charge cards accepted at Luger’s, Danny. Cash or their own in-house card only.
I wonder if, because of Covid, you can actually get a reservation at PL’s now. I’m guessing no.

Wife and I had NYE dinner at Gordon Ramsey’s located at Caesars Casino Atlantic City.
The 10oz. Filet was one of the best I’ve had in years.

Been to all three steakhouses and plenty of others in the city. My favorite was Keen’s until I went to Luger. The bacon at Luger is also the best in town!

BigBoy17 · 3 January 2021, 02:58 AM

They all get there meat from “ master purveyors of meat” in the bronx fyi. Its all the same shit. Just whos preparing it thats different

jjfesq · 3 January 2021, 03:39 AM

Smith & Wollensky (orig location) is #1
Old Homestead is also excellent.
Bryant & Cooper on LI is as good as both.

I'm not a foodie and the only steak I really eat is generally a filet mignon I cook myself which is pretty excellent.

What other steaks do you recommend. I've had some that are tough as leather but obviously not cooked properly.

I'm sort of in the "medium" camp.

Stewart_88 · 3 January 2021, 04:16 AM

Glad I've seen this, was taking the kids to NY for their first time in July 2020 which got cancelled due to the pandemic.

Will keep this thread in mind for when I rebook as the kids love their steak.

Fingers crossed for 2021

Then i would recommended Peter Lugers for there first time... classic and the best

brandrea · 3 January 2021, 05:29 AM

It’s been so many years since I’ve been to NYC to dine I can’t really remember. There was this little place near the south end of Central Park ... I know that doesn’t narrow it down

57th and 5th maybe

swils8610 · 3 January 2021, 06:49 AM

May not be the best but I’ve always enjoyed Peter Lugers.
