We were shown to the second floor, very interesting atmosphere with a lot of plush furniture. A nice oldfashioned atmoshere and we sat very confortable, a lot of place between the tables. The service was very attentive. We ordered cocktails, a dry martini and a cosmo. Both drinks were very good and we studied the menu. We actually wanted fish,... More

We originally went to another restaurant that our hotel sent us to. When we arrived, they didn't have an opening until 9pm....our show started at 8! So they recommended Frankie & Johnny a block away. They took us right in at 7pm, we explained about our show, etc. They took our time constraint into consideration and promptly seated us. Service... More

This restaurant is located 10 walking minutes from the Times Square. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasent and calm - not so busy and loud than in other restaurants. The service is excellent! The food itself is fantastic, the portions are huge. It's a little pricey but considering the quality of the food, the good service and location... More

We were advised to go here, after failing to get our reservation sorted out at "Keens" steakhouse. The restaurant itself is a little faded, even dusty when you enter it. We also found it very warm and had to ask for the A/C to be switched on. However, the steaks are GREAT. Our party tried the Rib Eye and the... More

Old time NY speakeasy atmosphere (in fact it started out as one during prohibition) housing old time service in the dining room and delicious food. This time I ordered the veal chop and it was at least 2 inches thick and cooked exactly to order. I've been before and I'll go again. No nouvelle cuisine here - you get what... More

We walked in without reservations about seven on a Wednesday and were seated at a quiet table upstairs right away. The food was great, steaks cooked perfectly and portions were just the right size3. More

Pros: Service was excellent; accommodating, attentive, informative but not pushy or rushed . Cocktail was prepared perfectly the first time (unusual because I usually have to send it back once or twice in other establishments to get it just right). Seasoning on the steak was perfect (no need for any additional salt, pepper, steak sauce, etc.). However, while the rib... More

First, let me state that there are better steakhouses in NY. That being said, this was just what I needed as a solo visitor to NY after having seen a B'Way show. It was late and I was hungry. This place has been around for decades so how bad could it be? You enter the small bar area on the... More

Just visited this steakhouse in West 37th Street as we could not get into Keens. This was quiet in comparison with Keens (for a Friday night) and it was a calmer atmosphere which we liked. Starters were delicious (shrimp starter was really good) and a good size. We both ordered sirloin steaks and separate potato side dishes plus a side... More
