Overall, the experience was great. It’s very straightforward and the steak was very tender. The fries not overcooked and the special sauce was very good. They time it just right after your first serving…and then on to Round 2. The cuts are just as tender. The seating is a little close, lighting is low and noise level isn’t ideal for much conversation but the value and quality are a 10.

It’s a great deal for the price. The food is very good and the deserts even better. It’s just way to loud and a bit crowded in there. The tables are very close together and the music and noise makes it’s hard to have a conversation without yelling. Overall service was okay.

Brilliant place if you like lots of food and energy. Steak was gorgeous although we only had rare, plenty of it and the puddings were humongous!

I had a fantastic experience at Medium rare!! Our server, Yasmin, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Their great recommendations and excellent service made our meal even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back! 今のNYCの中では破格に安くお肉が食べられて、しかもおかわりができて、35ドルという信じられない安さです！！！

We had a wonderful evening. The hostess was friendly. Our server Yasmin was awesome. She was attentive, professional and courteous. Our salad was properly dressed. Steaks and fries were perfectly prepared. Wine serving was a good pour. Key lime pie was refreshing.

Yasmin was a fantastic server! We went for bottomless brunch and enjoyed the screwdrivers and steak and eggs. Some of my favorite fries ever! Excellent music choices and not too loud to hear people at your table
