"As of June 2025 this location remained open and was one of only two U.S. outposts still operating." - Rebecca Roland
"Part of Salt Bae's restaurant chain, known for its luxurious dining experience and controversies surrounding employee lawsuits." - Janna Karel
"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
"It has now been over a year since Salt Bae splashed into NYC dining with the opening of his notoriously overpriced steakhouse Nusr-Et. Despite financial issues faced by the owning group, Salt Bae’s restaurants remain open." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
"Nusr-Et in NYC, opened in January, is a Turkish steakhouse by Nusret Gökçe. Critics found the dinner overpriced with mediocre steaks, while some enjoyed the dining experience. The restaurant has a 150-seat capacity." - Carla Vianna
