This time was perfect but we had a terrible experience last Saturday when we made a reservation that we not valued and we needed to wait more 46’ to get in!

Probably my worst dining (or not since I couldn’t be seated) in NYC. We showed up to our reservation on time, just to be told by a receptionist that “there was nothing she could do and we would have to wait 45 minutes”. She then proceeded to ask me and my family, including my two senior parents, to move away because we were too close to the check in, even though there were 15+ people smushed together there. After that, my wife went to the podium to talk and she started screaming at her, completely out of line. I went there the opening week and was excited to take my family, but really disappointed.

I am a 70yr old male- who has loved steak and potatoes all my life. Middle- upper middle class - live in NYC- have been to best steakhouses throughout NYC! Medium Rare- fits in a place - for steak lovers that has never happened before!! You cannot have that delicious RIBEYE- or Porterhouse- that you can in all the famous cities including NYC - HOWEVER- for $34.95- all the bread- salad you can eat - then delicious sliced steak with tons of French fries is the perfect target price that for the quality of food- is the PERFECT PRICE POINT! What shocked me even more after my friend and I finished this delicious meal- the waitress came over and asked if we were ready for our next portion - !!! Bewildered- we asked? Yes- a second serving of both steak and fries are waiting for you!! We were so full- asked if we can have to go- and they did!! If corporate does this right- I feel this will be the fastest growing “ high end “ chain EVER!! Thank you for a delicious meal that is AFFORDABLE!! Elliot
