VIBE
Slick steakhouse where tuxedoed waiters glide about with platters under gleaming silver domes and well-coiffed couples murmur sweet nothings over decadent chops. The downstairs wood-and-marble dining room has a dark, clubby feel, but things are much more light and lively in the (much louder) upstairs piano bar. The smooth tunes, swank surrounds, and glamorous crowd evoke a Sinatra-esque cool.
CROWD
The business power set and a well-heeled group of over-30s. A smattering of celebs trickle in, too.
WHAT WE WOULD WEAR
A little black dress, stilettos, a glam clutch, and some refined accessories.
GO HERE WITH
Steak fans; a date; a group; clients or colleagues
WHY WE LIKE IT
This is a no-holds-barred steakhouse: from the glamour venue to the portion sizes, nothing is watered down.
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE
Sky-high prices.
GOOD TO KNOW
When ordering, know that these are serious steaks–the portions are humungous. (And they’re served on plates heated to 400ºF to keep them at the right temp.) If you’re here for more than just the eats, the swinging piano bar is open 4:30pm-1:00am daily.
