I enjoyed my meal here. In fact, our group six was well accommodated and all enjoyed our dinner. The seating area was a bit small for six – so they pulled another table together for us and it was more than adequate. We started with soup – I had a french onion soup which was pretty good. The main course was a fillet and it was cooked to perfection.
The service was on the spot the whole meal.
Went to Frankie & Johnnie's with my sister and girlfriend for Restaurant Week and we weren't impressed.
We started with appetizers – my girlfriend and I had the crab cakes with a chipotle sauce drizzle. The sauce was good, however, the crab cake without any sauce was bland. My sister had the ceasar salad and it was ok.
For entree my girlfriend and I had the surf and turf which was filet mignon with shrimp scampi. I ordered my steak medium, my girlfriend ordered hers well done. They were accompanied by mashed potatoes. My sister ordered the pork chop which came with applesauce and a potato croquette. We ordered side of sauteed spinach with garlic and lemon.
Well, the first thing is they gave me the well done steak and my girlfriend the medium. Not sure how they got that mixed up (the kitchen should have made note to the waiter about which is which) When I brought it up to the waiter I got a very curt, "well what do you want me to do about it" response which at that point I told him nothing – don't worry about it. My sister's pork chop was ok but it was a large cut of meat and after awhile of chewing it kind of lost it's flavor. Her potato croquette tasted like it was cooked and either microwaved or kept under a warming light prior to serving. The spinach had NO TASTE whatsoever we didn't taste the garlic, lemon, nothing, in fact, most of the food there had no seasoning. I felt the same with the dessert – I had the cheesecake and my sister and girlfriend had the apple strudel with ice cream. Again, it was ok – nothing to write home about.
We were very disappointed in the meal we received there and I doubt very seriously if I will ever return.
Holy shit! Can I say shit on Yelp? If not censor me!
This place was….
Top notch.
Let's talk service. We were treated by Danny the head waiter. A Romanian master of service. He explained dishes and recommend accordingly and with the utmost politeness and knowledge. My glass of wine was never once left empty. Yes that helps in increasing the tab but it does improve the overall level of experience. And let me tell you my i am experiencing a very high level of "experience" right now! Lol
The place, as it turns out, was owned as the residence of drew berry mores father. Our upstairs dinning room had a giant fireplace. It was so nice. I highly recommend requesting a table upstairs.
I ordered the sirloin. Massive does not describe it. I expected a 4oz steak and instead I received a side of buffalo or a Woolley Mammoth, I still can't decide. Either way it was excellent
Sides- fries and mushrooms and onions. Super good. I mean, I know I keep saying good but what other word is there for yummy?!
Dessert was the moose cake. A white and black chocolate cake that had a beautiful chocolate ganache on top. I must admit I avoided the mint garnish. So I can't speak to the quality of the mint leaves! Lol
All in all this was the best steakhouse I have visited!
Happy eating!!
So my daughter, her godmother and godbrother and myself were out for a pre- show dinner. They had flown in from Cali to see Al Pacino's play. My friend decided to treat us to dinner.
We were seated almost immediately. It was a bit uncomfortable as one patron, w his wife or lady friend just kind of glared at us. Nonetheless, we remained. Then there was sticker shock because the least expensive steak was around $45– and that was a la carte. Everyone else ordered a sirloin and I got a ribeye. They were gorgeous and charred to perfection. My Caesar salad was delicious, tho a little heavy on dressing. Additionally, it had anchovies. Yum!! We all enjoyed our dinner, the ambience and our very attentive waiter. He was great. I will return here again– no matter how hard I'm stared at!!!
Traditional Old School New York Steak House here. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. My husband and I came here during Restaurant Week and had an absolutely fabulous time. The ambiance is great, the service is impeccable, and the food is divine.
The Restaurant Week menu is an absolute steal here. For appetizers, I completely enjoyed the crab cake – it was lightly fried and came smothered in a perfectly tangy sauce. My husband had the smoked salmon and absolutely loved it.
For the entrée, I had a petit filet minon with shrimp scampi. WOW – incredible! The steak was perfectly seasoned and the shrimp scampi was out of this world. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
For dessert, you can't go wrong with the key lime pie. It's perfectly tangy with a delicious crust. Mm'mm!
Overall, this place is excellent! I have not a single complaint. Great for groups, too.
Almost stumbled past this place, ever so glad we stopped in! Very old New York feel, amazing food, over the top drinks and terrific service. We even got a private magic show from one of the owners. It was an amazing time and just a block away from our hotel (Marriott Marquis), which I wouldn't recommend staying at….
Mario! Great old school server and a true professional. We had a group of 7 and Mario took excellent care of us. Recommendations were perfect all around. I had the T Bone and the table split several sides. Steaks were excellent cuts that were prepared perfectly.
We have been coming here for several years. Saw that they set moving to a new location soon – hope they don't forget the charm that makes this a fun spot.
Had a wonderful (albeit expensive) steak dinner here on a brisk fall evening. Upon entering, you are greeted by a staircase leading up to what feels to be a trip back to the 1920's. I love how they kept to the original speakeasy feel, with the dim lighting and rich wood tones.
The steaks were exceptional. I had a ginormous ribeye cooked to perfection exactly as ordered. From the perfectly charred shell to the infused butter lending the perfect amount of herbs and seasoning. This was a steak to really take your time to enjoy.
The atmosphere was intimate. The noise level ranged from quiet to average. The restaurant was somewhat empty on our last visit so we had some space to ourselves. However, it can become quite crowded during peak Broadway show times. Regardless of how busy they are though, the charm is always there.
Be prepared to spend about $80 to $150 per person with drinks, sides, tip, etc.
