E&E Grill House
“It is just so hard for a New Yorker to eat around Theater district without suspicious of overpriced and mediocre restaurants.”
“We had WONDERFUL service, and Restaurant Week dinner with lobster bisque, fried tofu with bok choy and key lime pie.”
“I had the grilled asparagus with poached egg, grilled hanger steak, and the key lime pie while my companion had the grilled bacon, grilled hanger steak, and Kermit's brownie sundae.”

One of my favorite spots in New York! I always make a stop when I'm in the city. The waiters are always excellent, and extremely helpful. It's in the theater district, so if you're in the area I say give it a try! The price is pretty good for the area. I paid less then $30 for a steak, where other places nearby would charge double. On top of that, their steak is probably better then the more expensive places. The food is just great all around. Give it a try! It's definitely worth trying if you're looking for a new spot with great food.
I really enjoyed my filet mignon and we did get the complimentary dessert for checking in so all in all, it was a good experience. Our food was taking a long time to come but the staff thankfully helped us rush our dishes out since we had a show to catch.
We didn't have dinner, so this review is just for the bar area/drinks.
I went before a show. The host was very pleasant, but I found it hard to get the attention of the people at the bar. The bartender told me the credit card machine wasn't working in case I wanted to go somewhere else. That was considerate, but he was rather lame in all other service respects (including handing a dish of lamb chops to the lady next to me and not offering her a steak knife until after she started hacking at it with a butter knife).
We were not offered a menu, snacks or refills on our soft drinks.
The bar staff also seemed unable to figure out the conundrum of how to seat a very loud couple from Australia (or possibly South Africa) because there were not two chairs together. How about asking the guy across the bar to take his computer bag off a chair and the single lady next to the bag to scooch over? That might work.
The food I saw served looked great. The dining room was very pleasant looking as well… It was also relatively empty, which made me very confused as to why they were refusing to seat people who just wanted a quick appetizer/supper before the show across the street. The show starts at 7… plently of time to turn a quick table before your set of 7:30 reservations.
Decent place right across the street from the Book of Mormon. We got the burrata appetizer, followed by the burger, the tuna steak, and the key lime pie for dessert. I enjoyed all four dishes, but they were all pretty expensive for what they were — there's no question you're paying for convenience to some extent, and while that's totally fair (it's no more expensive than most of the other places in that vicinity), if it hadn't been such as cold night, I would have been more inclined to venture out a bit and find somewhere better and/or cheaper.
After posting my original review, Amanda kindly reached out to address the concerns I had regarding the service. She was extremely apologetic about the experience and invited me to stop by again.
I really, really, appreciated this gesture. Reviews overall for this restaurant have rated the service as excellent, and I do believe my dinner experience may have just been an off day for the staff.
Bumping my review up to 3 stars due to the attentiveness of management at E&E. Unfortunately, I didn't find the food to be anything too particularly special, and personally will not return. But thank you, Amanda, for showing that customer service is indeed a priority at E&E!
Note: I also ordered delivery once from E&E with coworkers and wow, the portions were tiny for the price. Just really not worth it when the food doesn't dazzle me.
Good find in the middle of the theater district.
For whatever reason this place was not that crowded on a Sunday night. Probably because of the Tony Awards or whatever but I still enjoyed my experience here.
The food was above average. One surprisingly memorable dish was their french onion soup. It was well made, the texture was just right and it was fortunately not too salty or greasy. That was one of the highlights of the meal. The kale salad was decent and I also thought their NY strip steak was good. I'm not sure if it was $38 dollars good but it was still a good meal.
I also used the Yelp check in offer and was able to get a free dessert. Opted for the bread pudding and it was pretty awesome. The caramel ice cream really hit the spot on top of the bread pudding itself.
If you're looking for a place with good ambiance, decent service and above average food in the theater district, this is a good option.
We came here for a pre-show event for Misery on Broadway thrown by production staff and crew.
Great service and friendly staff. Appetizers that were passed around were tasty. Good wine selection.
Very nice decor in an upscale classy but welcoming way. Walls are adorned with pictures and posters of Broadway productions with many signed by the stars themselves.
More seating in the back area for larger groups and parties.
Very convenient choice if in the Theatre District to see a play or musical. They even had a sign inside letting people know that you can preorder cocktails during intermission if you're watching a Broadway show nearby and want to skip the wait and lines for the bathroom. A fun idea but not sure how it would really work when most intermissions are around 10 minutes.
Didn't have a full meal here so can't really comment on the food. Might be worth a shot for a pre-show dinner, or post show cocktail
This place is directly across the street from The Book of Mormon. We had 2 o'clock tickets so I we stopped in here with about 40 minutes before the show started. The restaurant looks tiny from the front but actually goes back very far and has many tables and circular booths. We sat at the bar since we initially thought that was the only place to sit, and because we like sitting at bars so we can chat with the staff. I got the chicken breast sandwich with shoestring fries. I had a glass of Chardonnay and Danny had a "Shake" which is a creamy porter beer and the grilled cheese fondue with a creamy tomato soup. It was a decadently rich blend of melted cheese grilled ( including guyere) on white bread, lovely butter to a pleasant crisp. My sandwich had heaps of mayo and sliced avocado. The great thing we learned from the friendly bartender is that you can come across the street during the intermission to quickly grab another drink and use their bathroom. Which we did. It's a great tip if you're gonna see that show. It's so close and quick!
