Strip House Speakeasy

Had dinner at Strip House on E 12th on Friday, February 14, and the Pittsburgh style steak was hands down the best steak I’ve ever had in the city. Perfectly charred on the outside and juicy inside, absolute perfection. The mac and cheese was out of this world too. Amazing food, great ambiance, and top-tier service. Can’t wait to go back!

I've grown completely loyal to their particular flavors. Workers showed genuine interest in helping us. Their attention to ambiance makes this place special. Their food is outstanding and fairly priced. We picked an excellent place to dine.

The experience was great. Staff was very welcoming and service oriented. We were first seated downstairs and it was a bit loud and small for us, so they helped us move upstairs. It’s an authentic place for sure. Very nice food. I did a lot of research to know where to go for steak and I’m not sure this was it. But still a nice place, maybe not the best.

This is my third time coming to Strip House Speakeasy & it is always such a great vibe. The food is out of this world amazing! I celebrated my birthday here this year …. LOVED how the staff made me feel.

Best steak I’ve had in a long time. Way better than Peter Lugers (sorry not sorry). Very friendly staff as well.

We didn’t eat, but we did try the cocktails and the wine. They were very good. I would say that the prices of the wine were a bit high considering you had to do either six or 9 ounces. And the wine wasn’t my favorite but I guess I didn’t really try that many options. Cocktails were really good and very fairly priced. We sat at the bar and it was a really good time.

Ambiance is old school steakhouse with pinup girls from the early days of Hollywood. Friendly staff, delicious food, and perfect drinks. Wine menu is well curated and specials were great additions to choose from. We had the Bao, "forbidden chicken", and oysters to start. Everyone was great! Steak and lobster mash didn't disappoint either. Definitely a great steak option, especially when they were open on Christmas day!

Great service! Everything was really good. Love the staff. Very accommodating.

First time here and it was great! The main dining room is a room lit in red dim light and it's not too loud so great setting to have a good conversation and a delectable meal! We were meeting friends and we all decided to share everything-- including the tomahawk steak! Had it medium rare and it was perfect. The sides were all delicious and we had extra food at the end. Wanted to try the speakeasy after dinner but it was too crowded so will have to try it next time!

Great vibe having dinner here with a group of 8 on a hot Saturday night. It is a louder ambience with a classic steakhouse decor. We had reservations and waited only about 10 mins before getting seated. Throughout the night different people in our party made note of the playlist while we ate because they were all timeless hits from different eras. I started with a barrel aged old fashion. It was on the sweeter side for my taste, but as long as it has the single block ice, I'm happy because it keeps from watering down. The wedge salad was nicely displayed. The lobster chowder was very good even though I would have expected lobster bisque on the menu instead. Topped dinner off with a dry aged rib eye, which was perfectly cooked medium rare. The grilled garlic bulb was like butter and a beautiful touch with the steak. Although the garlic was delicious, I had to be careful the rest of the night while talking to everyone. Hahaha! Just be warned if it is a long night of socializing. Loved the overall experience and food. I would return again. Reservations were easy without having made too far in advance.

This spot is a hidden gem in the city, super steakhouse vibe when you walk in, awesome staff and great food. We ordered the bacon for starters and I ended up making it into a sandwich which was pretty good! All of the sides are beautifully cooked and of course the steak itself was perfectly cooked. Not overly seasoned and was super tender. And to end the night, y'all gotta try their 24-layer chocolate cake, I was expecting it to be super sweet, but not wa/ I wrong, this had just the perfect amount of sweetness on every bite!

I made a reservation for my birthday and had a great dinner here. We ordered off the restaurant week menu, i got the salmon tartare which i highly recommend. The steak was great and cooked to perfection. The miso cod was delicious. The burger was just alright. The desserts is really where strip house shines - IMHO. The 24 layer chocolate cake was the perfect way to celebrate my 24th birthday. It was super decadent and the perfect chocolate cake, but it definitely serves a crowd and i didn't have more than just a couple of bites. The lemon pound cake was also super delicious and warm when we got it! The service is honestly the best here. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Even with the dining room full, she was able to give us attention and create a welcoming atmosphere. What a lovely experience!

Came here to Valentine's Day. We got the tomahawk steak and it was fabulous. I think everything else wasn't bad wouldn't say it was amazing. The drinks thoooo... $26 for a martini... insanity but I got two... kinda regret it but it was good lol idk how I feel about this place.

You know, it's not everyday you get a chance to experience the exclusivity and ambience of a Manhattan speakeasy. The Strip House speakeasy is not one of those places that you have to walk a mile and then swim under a bridge for, it really simple. You make a reservation, walk from the nearby four train and bam your there. When I arrived, I went to the main restaurant and was told that the speakeasy was right next door. It's easy to make that mistake, especially if you haven't been there before. This kind and sweet receptionist took my coat and personal escorted me to the speakeasy. She was so sweet, she checked my coat and made sure the waiter knew I was waiting for a friend to arrive. The Strip House Speakeasy is so sexy on many levels. Everything from the lighting to the wallpaper makes the resturant so chic. I also have to give it up for the music that was playing in the background as well. On to the food and service. I've been to three other speakeasy in the city and each experience has been different. However, this is the first one that I actually had dinner at. At the others, I just had cocktails. The service that I received at the others speakeasies was impeccable and this one was no different. Infact, the service was beyond impeccable, the food was as well. I had a burger and their delicious Waldolf salad. Both were excellently prepared and presented with perfect. If you never had a speakeasy experience, I would highly recommend Strip House Speakeasy. I'm definitely a fan and I'm confident if your reading this and you actually go, you will be too. You might even see me there. .

Loved everything about this place. Food was delicious service was impeccable and the ambiance was a Vibe! Can't wait to go back.

Love this speakeasy! Did a work happy hour here and the ambiance, drinks and snacks were great.

The Romans named it " iecur ficatum ", iecur means liver and ficatum derives from ficus, meaning fig in Latin. I'm talking about Foie gras. Pronounced " fwah grah ". Foie gras is defined as the liver of a duck or goose fattened by gavage (force feeding). Its flavour is rich, buttery, and delicate with an irony undertone. I'm a huge fan. Last night I had it on top of my filet mignon at the Strip House in Manhatten. After a dozen oysters of course. Bernaise sauce coated every bite of the filet but the foie gras went unadorned. It's flavor needs no enhancements. It melts upon contact as your tongue pushes it againts the roof of your mouth. Absolutely delectable and decadent, it did not disappoint. The potatoes were presented in a way I've never had but will try to recreate asap. They were called thousand layer potatoes. Think crispy wise potato chips cut into rectangles stacked and fried in goose fat. Mother of all that is holy. Sometimes I feel like I'm gavaging myself.

Amazing steak and truffle creamed spinach Service is friendly, and the ambiance is sexy, real mafia vibes lol.

Had a nice dinner in the speakeasy. Good drinks and food and professional service. Tuna tartar and wedge salad were both great. The 50 Oz tomahawk ribeye was cooked perfectly medium rare and was juicy and delicious. The truffle creamed spinach on the side and the 24 layer chocolate cake were decadent

The beauty about living in nyc is that when you think you've tried em all , there's always more. I've lived here my entire life. And just last week I stumbled upon this gem with a family member of mine after working all day. It was around 5pm on a Friday and we just finished power washing an entire outdoors restaurant not to far from. We didn't have a reservation so we took a shot in the dark to just walk in. (Highly recommend a reso.) we were greeted by the hostess and they just opened their doors about 30 mins prior so she was very happy to seat us. (Winning!) we walk through the dim red lit restaurant to be sat a couple tables in across from the bar. Our server approached us to greet us and give water to let us know the bread will be out shortly. Told us the specials and poured our drinks. As we sat. The customers started pouring in. So this is why I felt lucky to get a spot here on such short notice. The food was beyond amazing along with the wait staff! From hostess all the way to food runners! Our waiter was amazing!! I believe his name was Benny but I could def be wrong. Very attentive, helpful and full of knowledge! Def walked out of there beyond satisfied! Would I return? 100%!! Kindness and amazing food go such a long way! And being open for this long shows a lot! 10 out of 10 across the board!

This is a great place where you can hang out with friends for drinks and food during the night. Staffs are very friendly and tried to fulfill the need for the customers. They have some nice cocktails and very delicious desserts.

Pricey steakhouse but it has a nice old school charm. It's a bit cramped inside with your neighboring tables but that is new york for you. Very dark ambiance so it's a place to wow a client but i would say necessarily a date since its cramped. The go to dish here is the bone in strip or the aged bone in rib eye. Wonderful tender flavor with a nice pepper and salt crust. The oyster appetizers were also great 6 east/ 6 west. Wonderful of the sea flavor. I'd forgo the sides as none of them stood out and you can save a few bucks. The dessert of the night had to be the layer chocolate cake. Large portion which was enough to serve 4. Had to take it home as there were leftovers. It's a pricey place but the steak was spot on.

While the food was good, it could have been better for the price. However my rating is mostly based off of my experience, which can really outshine the food quality. I came very close to walking out and finding something elsewhere. Poorly named "Speakeasy" is in a basement area of Strip House. The only thing remotely like a "speakeasy" is the curtain at the entrance, and pictures of women on the walls. Since our reservation was in Speakeasy, I went down to check in - we were about 20 minutes early so I wasn't expecting to get a seat immediately. I waited a few minutes near the bar/entrance where I noticed a family of 4 crowded & standing around a table. It looked like no one had approached them and they'd been waiting a while. Since no one seemed to be around to seat us (no host stand, no one paying attention to waiting patrons) I figured I'd go upstairs and ask the host there is thats where we needed to check in. There were 2 women there, and was greeted upon entry which was nice. I let the host know that we were early but wanted to check if our table was available. She started scrolling to search, and I let her know the reservation was at Speakeasy. She stopped what she was looking for and told me I'd have to check in downstairs and pointed at where it was. I told her that there wasn't a host or anything there to seat us. Someone else came up, while there was still another host there, asking about changing to a booth and the host I was talking to started talking to her instead and ignoring that I was still standing there waiting for assistance. The other person could have easily handled it while who I was speaking with assisted me. Instead she chose to interject into another issue. Frustrated, I went back downstairs to take a better look in case I missed something. Still, no one. That same family standing around the table unsure of what to do and obviously still hadn't been approached. So I went BACK upstairs and told her, still standing there, that there wasn't a host, we have a reservation for 5. So she stomps around me and leads me downstairs, where she grabs a tablet off of the bar, tells the family who had been waiting that they could sit, and waved at me to follow her. After seating us she stated she was the GM. I was going to leave but the server was nice and veru prompt which was appreciated. Expected much better service from the GM for a $500 meal. She never came back by to see how anything was going.

Yikes! Where do I start?! From the mildew basement smell to the insensitive manager, it was tragic. My significant other took me there because we were both feeling steak and were sadly disappointed. They tucked us in a corner and we awkwardly whispered talked because how silent it was. The bathrooms smelled horrible, I left one bathroom to go to another but they were both bad. The food was not to par with its prices, definitely overpriced. I ordered the rack of lamb with crispy goose fat potatoes and my date ordered the 14oz ribeye with creamed spinach. Everything tasted okay, but nothing special. A little way into our meal I started to have an allergic reaction, my tongue and lips started to get itchy and swell so I immediately took some bendrayl. (I'm deathly allergic to shellfish to the point where my throat will close) Because I wasn't having direct symptoms, we asked if maybe something touched the potatoes or the same oil was used for something with shellfish. My parents have a restaurant so I understand how easy it is to mix things up or use the same glove. The manager made it a point to ask if I was allergic to garlic and thyme because those were the only ingredients used and later in a condescending tone asked if I needed him to call an ambulance because they was nothing wrong with my meal. It was so unbelievably rude so we just asked the check and left. Honestly save your coins and go somewhere else, we loveeeee The Smith or Dorado Tacos and Quesadillas (on the same block). The steak quesadilla was so good!!!

After sending this really concerned reply to reach out to the "owner" I was directed to a form that basically just asked me the same thing I posted. It's been three weeks and not a peep from this company. I suggest you take your steak business elsewhere.

Best fillet mignon in the city. The vibe of this speakeasy is exceptional- it is cozy and elegant. The thing that really makes this place so special is the staff. They are very attentive and friendly. Our favorite waiter is the man from Ireland. We always go here to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries.

I came here with 5 guys. We got some drinks at the bar we waited for the whole party. The old fashioned was done nicely but way over priced. The atmosphere was classy, but without all the jacket requirement upstairs in the main dining room. Now the food... The bacon was awesome, thicken juicy with good level of fat and smoke. The sides were decent and the porterhouse was good. Even though we asked for medium rare, the steak was a bit overcooked and it came out to be more like medium.

The best date night we have had in years!! Please - sit at the bar and dine with Eddie, you will be in for an event of a lifetime. Eddie is the best and took amazing care of us, he set up our spot with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, made the best Manhattan's, poured us amazing Champagne, we got the Bone in Filet and Aged NY Strip with Truffle Gnocchi paired with an amazing Pinot Noir, followed by a delicious chocolate lava cake on the house! We can not wait to come back!!

Went here with a friend to check out this place for restaurant week. After perusing the menu, I decided to go with the onion soup, the strip steak, and the vanilla pear cake. The onion soup wasn't your conventional French onion soup option as it came in a bowl with a mini grilled gruyere cheese sandwich on the side for dipping. This seemingly simple dish actually was quite tasty and definitely was a hearty opening to the meal. For the main course, I opted for the strip steak (we were at a steak house after all). The strip steak was good--not outstanding though and the portion size was a bit small. The potatoes and Brussels sprouts were also decent, but nothing to write home about. I finished the meal with the vanilla pear cake with pumpkin ice cream. I am not sure if I really understood the pairing, but the pumpkin ice cream was absolutely delicious! The cake was decent as well, but definitely got outshone by the ice cream. I also had a bite of my friend's banana bread pudding, which was also very tasty. Overall, this place serves up some great food at a decent price for restaurant week. Not sure I would order the steak again with the +10 supplement on the Restaurant Week menu, but everything else was very good.

This is by far on of the best steakhouse I ever been to. Bit pricey, but it is worth every penny. Meat is top quality and the service is excellent. Highly recommend it.

I like to creep people out...doing things like walking in to a steakhouse, with a reservation for 1*, at noon on a Tuesday and refusing the menu and just requesting a $16+tax slice of cake that requires a steak knife. Servers at the good places smile and make conversation, but you can always tell what they really think behind the pleasantries**. The good thing is I couldn't care less, and enjoyed (but not as much as I expected to) every bite of that thing. FYI they began lunch service at SHND a few weeks back and are pushing burgers hard, though no one else was there throughout my visit. *Why not get the OpenTable reservation points? **The hours on their site and this listing seem inconsistent, and shy away from explicitly discussing whether they offer takeout, and my server evaded the question accordingly. As the name implies, this is a recessed space adjacent to Strip House proper, which is open for dinner only.

The spot has history to it. Small but cozy. The decor took me back and the photos on the walls are the perfect touch. Service wad good too. We had the Truffle Popcorn, which was tasty and awesome. The bacon srips were nice and thick. Amazing flavor to them, we tore those up. Surprisingly good was the Poutine Fries, took me back to the ones I had in Canada. The burger called the Big Stinky was on point, I got it medium well, that cheese tasted good on it, but the egg was a good addition to it. Tasted so good when I took that first bite. Nice and runny, I used the fries to clean that excess running yolk off the plate! However, my co workers, thought their burgers were over cooked and they didnt finish theirs. Overall, experience was cool. Next time I will stop by just for the Striphouse Cake, looked amazing.

Spent $600 on dinner in the strip house and the server said to have a drink in the speakeasy afterwards. As soon as went down there received absolutely shocking rude service by a server called Joe who made us feel completely unwelcome and uncomfortable. Not sure what his problem was but he did a good job ruining what was a good evening.

We ate in the speakeasy... Super cool atmosphere.... Not your typical steakhouse vibe. Motown tunes all night. Order a Manhattan. Steak is good... Not the best I've had...but decent. We need to discuss the broccoli....it is to die! I can't stop thinking about it. Yum! The goose fat potatoes were overrated in my opinion.

My friends and I dined here for my Birthday and let me tell you it DID NOT disappoint. The Filet, the sides, the drinks were all on point. Loved the Mobster plush red decor. Highly recommend

Decent steak, a bit pricey. The waiter on Tuesday night very pushy with the upsells and asking if we wanted more to drink. Was actually intrusive, reminded me of a vegas nightclub host trying to get people to spend up on bottles.

We had a great time with the bartender Will. We concocted his delicious chocolate martini into a delicious NY egg cream. Will is fun and makes you feel right a home. We also sat at the bar and had oysters, bacon and steak which were all fantastic ! Go see Will and try an egg cream !!

I came here Friday evening for dinner with a friend visiting from DC. I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Environment: The ambience was dark and romantic. Baroque style wallpaper? We'll just stick to it was to my taste. Staff: excellent, our waitress was lovely and patient and thorough. The host was very polite and welcoming although we did get the discreet push out the door for the table but we were there for 2 hours...I didn't get to finish my baked Alaska! Womp womp (-1 star). Food: I had started with a crab cake: delicious. For my entree, I ordered a filet mignon with roasted asparagus. When I saw the filet mignon it looked burnt which made me nervous. Fortunately it was made just as I ordered it, medium rare - perfect texture and a lot of flavor! I ended with the baked Alaska which was fabulous! Would I come back; absolutely!

Steak is perfect every time. I would also recommend the sides. Caramelized onions are delicious. Regardless, with great food, great service, the difference is the staff. They are professional, easy to talk to, and on top of their game. They are pros. And have great personality.

Didn't enjoy our Restaurant Week dinner. The choices were unusual and not satisfying. Kale and Brussel sprout salad with a runny poached egg on top?? Just plain weird. We paid the $10 supplement for the steak option but the portion was quite small. More than a small tablespoon of mashed potatoes seemed warranted. Despite the food, the service was great. The hostess was especially inviting and friendly, and all the wait staff were efficient and accommodating.

Halloween 2018! My wife and I dined at the Strip House in full Halloween attire. Not only did the staff provide remarkable service as always, and not only was the food amazing as always, but as a symbol of appreciation for bringing Halloween to the restaurant, we were treated to dish after dish which we didn't order, and delicious champagne to end the evening. It doesn't get better than at the Strip House Speakeasy. Superb!

Not a bar and grill for everyday indulgence (on my budget, anyway), the Strip House Grill is everything that's great about the Strip House upstairs with a TV and without tablecloths. I actually think I like the space better downstairs. The can't miss staples of the main menu - tomato & onion salad, mac & cheese, and my personal favorite, the creamed corn w/ pancetta (seriously, it's THAT good) find new friends with the burger menu - bacon cheddar burger was awesome, as expected, but the short rib burger, without cheese, was every bit as flavorful as the bacon cheeseburger without the toppings; definitely worth $18 as they come with fries and are served with L/T/O, pickle slices and a banana pepper. Next time I need to try the Strip Steak Salad... All that with coffee was $80; tack on a $60 bottle of red and we've got ourselves a meal! (Note to the reviewers who panned the Grill for the prices, try reading the menu before you go and look at the prices some time before the check comes; if $80 before drinks is too much for dinner, maybe it's just not your scene.)

I've dined here several times now and I have to say I enjoy the more "casual" aspects of the dining experience but could do with a little better service to match it's Strip House name. We've been seated on the high tops, at the bar, near the bar... the story is always the same: Cramped space. Just enough table room. Cold by the door (in cold weather, steer CLEAR of sitting near the door, that velvet sheet is NOT enough to protect you!). Close enough to servers to hear the ins and outs of service. Let me explain what I mean by the last comment... when I sit at a table and can literally eavesdrop all night on the restaurant innerworkings and waiters saying things like "Table XX said they didn't ask for bottled water so comp it. Table YY needs more bread. Table ZZ wants more butter" that probably means that the waiters should keep their voices down or at least make the innerworkings of the operation a tad more quiet. I also didn't appreciate on my last visit when I was seated near the TV and a waiter who was on duty kept staring at the Knicks game and fist pumping discreetly as I tried to get his attention for a refill on water. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel if I'm spending over $100+pp on a meal, I should expect better service... am I wrong? Anyway - food wise, the food is great. I particularly recommend sharing the Porterhouse for 2 and getting it with sides of mushroom and creamed spinach. Absolutely out of this world. The food is absolutely worth the price and I honestly prefer this more casual dining experience to upstairs. Drinks are also great. The bartenders know their stuff. Recommend it!

Met a friend for a drink before headed to the Strip House restaurant upstairs. Very cozy, cool spot. Decent wine list and cocktails. I would recommend if you're looking for a pre dinner drink or post dinner cocktail.

My husband and I came here for date night and we had no regrets. We both got the Dry-Aged New York Strip. He got a side of fries. I got a side of creamed spinach. The order of fries is massive. He managed to eat the steak but couldn't put a dent in the fries. I ate half my steak but couldn't get enough of the creamed spinach. That is not to say the steak wasn't delicious. It was a great steak but the portions are quite large and I cannot eat an entire 14 oz steak in one sitting. I didn't think there was any room for dessert but my husband wanted to try the cheesecake. The slice was enormous! We couldn't even finish it between the two of us. We tried to because it was so good. The service was top notch. Our waitress/hostess was very friendly and accommodating. The servers were all on top of things. Our water glasses were never empty. It's very pricey but most great steakhouses are. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to splurge and have a nice night out on the town.

Dinner last night was beyond our expectations. What an intimate space. A perfect hidden gem in Manhattan. Make sure to get their Ribeye. The charred crust seals in all the flavor. Best steak I have had in a while and the service was top notch. Can't wait to come back for more!

Decent. We came here to celebrate my sister in law's 30th birthday and while a steakhouse would not be someplace I would typically go, this place had good service and pretty good food. My husband and I had the scallops which were yummy, the tomato and mozzarella and crab cocktail. I enjoyed that they had soft pretzel sticks in the bread basket! Old school naked and half naked photos of women are covering the walls and in the bathroom for no reason...perhaps the name Strip House has a double meaning lol? Over all an OK time and I wouldn't mind coming back if I was invited again.

I came here with a big party on a Saturday night with expectations of the atmosphere to be similar to that of the Strip House. I was pleasantly surprised to find this please to have more of a speak easy vibe and I thoroughly enjoyed the overall feel. I would recommend if you come with a larger party to possibly get a fixed menu organized for the group which would make the process much easier come time to order. When it came to the food, we were served several nice seafood towers to start. All of the elements were fresh and I would recommend it for any other large parties dining here. Next we had a choice of bacon or lobster bisque (I did the bacon and there was more than enough to go around) but the others enjoyed the bisque. Getting to the steaks, all of our cuts were cooked to order and the dry rub provided some nice crust to the meat that balanced it overall. For sides we had some creamed spinach and potatoes, staples when it comes to ordering sides for a steak. We finished the meal off with some dessert cake. Overall, you should most definitely come hungry because this was more than enough food for any appetite and everything was done well. The servers were friendly and attentive the entire dining experience. The atmosphere, although intimate and relatively small, provided the perfect sound level for maintaining conversations. After ordering cocktails and several bottles of wine with the food and tip, it came to a very reasonable $160/person. This may even be good if you want to come on a date and those involved wouldn't mind a nice steak. Buon appetito.

Second time here having dinner at the bar and really loving this place. We have been to the Strip House in midtown which is where we first experienced the great food. Tonight at this speakeasy location, Amanda at the bar rocked it out with Chef Andy by catering to my love of rhubarb with a special martini (thank you!) Highly recommend this restaurant -- and if you have room and really love dessert, definitely check out the chocolate cake

Jesus Christ. I went there this past Friday evening with my significant other, while the food was decent, it was pricey and not up to par with those prices. The waitstaff was very pushy up-selling the menu. It gets MUCH worse. When we had a slight allergic reaction (mouth and lips swollen) at the table, the manager was very condescending about the situation, seemed to not believe her and deny plausibility, rather than help. Much to my amazement the waiter prefaced this by saying "I'm not trying to talking down to you" like he was in any position to do so. It was overall a very uncomfortable scenario, from the basement smell to the the pure emptiness of the room. The absolutely poor attitude of the staff was the icing on the cake. I paid and left as soon as we possibly could. I will never return here again, and strongly advise against it. I recommend spending your money at Delfriscos, The Smith or literally anything else instead.

Strip House Next Door- We love this place! The vibe is cool, the drinks wonderful, excellent appetizers, & of course, the steak! The location is a former speakeasy, & as the name says it's literally next door to The Strip House. Great food & very professional service. We enjoy eating at the bar as the bartenders are very nice & we like watching our drinks being made. (Pellegrino, Mai Tai, Daiquiri, tuna tartar, oysters, rib-eye steak , roasted mushrooms, creamed spinach, Baked Alaska, cheesecake, tea/xpso)

Loved this place. It's very elegant and an enjoyable atmosphere. It is very pricey so if your not able to enjoy that then don't go there. We ordered the fresh mozzarella which was absolutely delicious. It's not on the menu so make sure to ask about it. We also had an order of scallops appetizer which was delicious. That's also not in the menu so make sure to ask about that as well. It came with beets and a fruity sauce which was great. As our main portion we got the 8oz filet mignon which was great. MAKE SURE TO ORDER THE SIDE OF CREAMED SPINACH! That was delicious. We also got the salmon which was okay. I wasn't the greatest fan however the quinoa that came with it was amazing! So fruity and delicious. The salmon was a bit over cooked and flavorless. So I wouldn't recommend that. Overall deff go there!!

This is hands-down my favorite steakhouse in the city. Not only is the food always delicious, but the vibe is also great. We recently planned an event there, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating and easy to work with throughout the entire process.

I had dinner and drinks at the Speak Easy bar and it was fantastic! The bartender, Amanda was so nice! She was super attentive and really helped making a good choice off the menu! I had the truffle cream spinach and a ribeye, and it was delicious! I'll definitely be back!

Not so impressed with this place...just a few things. The menu from what I gathered should be a little more affordable for the light pocketed folk. It was absolutely the same as the "real" strip house with the exception of a few sides and the burgers that are not on the menu and they don't mention to you. So our party of 3 decided on the steaks (fillet $41 and ribeye $46) with a couple recommended sides (cream of spinach and cream of corn). After ordering the waitress began to tell us of the 25 minute wait for our steaks, called "the process!". "And you'll for sure get hungry waiting ...you should get an app!". We were pressured at the moment to make this decision...and at the same time dumbfounded that it would take that long for medium rare steaks. Anyway we moved on with getting some calamari to start which were actually delicious. The steaks in my opinion were mediocre...and we did wait 30 mins for this "process" and the place was pretty much dead on a saturday night. I would have rather eaten upstairs...we were paying the same prices...but with a less professional staff and a place still trying to figure out their identity. First and last time visit.

Was in a few months ago. Great decor. Service was really good. Food was great. Sides were decent. Drinks on point. Will be back again.

Two of the guys in our party had positive experiences at The Strip House so we were all very excited for a great steak dinner at the Strip House Next Door. Our excitement died immediately upon walking inside the Strip House Next Door. First, the only other patrons in the restaurant were wearing New York Rangers jerseys. This isn't anything against the Rangers, but I don't think "smart casual" should include sports jerseys when you are about to drop $150/pp. Now honestly, the sports jerseys isn't a big deal, but what was a big deal is that while still visually processing the sports jerseys, my brain started screaming at me and forcing my attention to the smell reaching my nose. Many Yelp reviews try to use humor or exaggeration, but I say this in the most literal sense: the restaurant absolutely reeked like an industrial strength cherry urinal cake. Any normal steakhouse whets your appetite with the smell of bacon and cooked ribeye, but with every breathe we all were gagging on the scent of cherry Robitussin a$$hole. Nevertheless, we still sat down and ordered drinks thinking that like all smells, we will become accustomed to it and won't smell it anymore. About 15 minutes later, our waiter brought us out an amuse-bouche. Now, taste is largely based upon smell. When we tried to eat the amuse-bouche, all we could taste was cherry a$$hole. Looking to rectify the situation, we went upstairs to ask the maitre 'd if there was an open table at The Strip House. My personable and happy-go-lucky friend Benji B. explained the situation, but the maitre 'd rudely retorted that it doesn't smell and he didn't want to hear the complaint again and that there was no room upstairs. I'll tell ya this - every employee in there knows it smells like cherry a$$hole because it really was THAT bad. Fortunately, a member of our party mentioned that Gotham Bar and Grill was right across the street. I ran over there, explained our situation to their very nice matre 'd over and she immediately was able to prepare us a table for 6. We had a fantastic meal at Gotham with great service, well-dressed patrons, but clearing our noses of urinal cake was the best treat of all. Avoid Strip House like the urinal it is and go across the street to Gotham.
