I have been to so many steakhouses in New York City, and I have my favorites, so when some friends invited me to join them, I was ecstatic! I love trying a new steakhouse and reading the reviews about this one, I was stoked to try it.
I walked in and was immediately taken with the old-school New York charm, red leather, dim red lighting, and white linen tablecloths! The walls were adorned with Hollywood-style photos as well as some other eclectic artwork. I felt like I had stepped back in time.
I met my friends at the bar where I ordered a very dirty Martini and it was very excellent. After visiting and catching up, we were shown to our table and given menus and the wine list.
Our host ordered wine and a few starters, namely the Seafood Plateau, as well as some other starters. I ordered a Baby Iceberg Wedge, a NY Strip, and a Lobster Tail.
The starters were fantastic, the oysters tasty, the crab and lobster divine, and we all fought over the last shrimp!
My salad was very good, but when my steak and lobster tail arrived- ooh la la! My steak was amazing, cooked perfectly and so full of flavor. My lobster tail was huge and tasty and tender- like butter. The wine was perfect, and the company even better.
Even though we were all pretty full, we HAD to try dessert, so we ordered a Key Lime Pie and the Chocolate cake to share. I must be honest here- I am a Florida boy and am very protective of Key Lime Pie, and I always say no one can make a Key Like Pie like they do at Joe's Stone Crab in Miami Beach- but I now stand corrected as this is one of the best tasting Key Lime Pies I have ever had outside of Florida- even my own kitchen!
All in all, the entire night was spectacular- the food, the service, the ambiance and the company of friends. I will definitely come back here next time I am in New York. Highly recommended!
