"Critics and customers are split at this Midtown location: some reviewers described the steak as mundane, somewhat tough, and bland with overcooked burgers and over‑chopped tartare, while others — including a prominent critic — found the cheeseburger deeply flavorful and the meat hard to argue with. Many patrons report going more for the theatrical experience and the chef’s salt‑sprinkling performance than for consistent culinary excellence. The Midtown site was also the focus of a tip‑skimming class‑action lawsuit that was settled for $300,000." - ByAli Francis
