Art deco steakhouse serves cocktails, steaks, and strawberry cake
"The Lambs Club is a very Midtown restaurant. The design is Art Deco, and the seats are filled with people who just left work and could really use a martini. It’s a fancy place, and it’s a little stuffy, but if you’re going to have a pricey meal in the area, this is a reliable option. The Italian-leaning food is uniformly well-executed, and your server will probably ask if you're seeing a Broadway show as soon as you sit down. Dinner is only served until 10pm, but you can get snacks until 11pm." - bryan kim, sonal shah, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, ciera velarde, arden shore
"“When I first started working at Vanity Fair, our office was located in Times Square, and Lambs Club is where editors would take writers for 'important lunches.' I distinctly remember the first time I was invited there for such a power lunch; I took care the night before to fish out my nicest (read: least wrinkled) pair of pants for the occasion. I knew that Lambs Club had to find its way into my book as the restaurant where Zoey has her first anxiety-inducing 'professional' lunch. In your twenties and early thirties, Lambs Club feels like a spot where you’re going to either get incredible life-changing news or find out you’ve been fired—the stakes are high! It's also great for an after-work martini.”" - brennan carley
"Under chef Jack Logue, the retro clubhouse Lambs Club, formerly a theater club from 1905, is now an 80-seat restaurant with a steakhouse menu along with offerings like ‘nduja carbonara, salmon Wellington, and more. The red leather banquette-filled dining room with a vast fireplace is one of the best retro dining rooms in New York. Be sure to check out the bar that’s the scene of many a celebrity sighting, before, after, or in lieu of, dinner." - Robert Sietsema
"The Lambs Club is a very Midtown restaurant. The design is art deco, the booths are red leather, and the seats are filled with people who just left work and could really use a martini. It’s fancy, and a little stuffy, but if you’re going to have a pricey meal in the area, this is a reliable option. Reservations aren’t hard to come by, and the Italian-leaning “contemporary American” food is uniformly well-executed. Like The Lambs Club itself, this $30 burger isn’t anything revolutionary, but it’s memorable enough to justify the price tag." - bryan kim, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"Housed within the stylish Chatwal Hotel, this Midtown institution returns, ready again to host power lunches and pre-show dinners. The setting is as sleek as ever with its iconic black walls, scarlet-red booths and polished chrome finishes anchored by a roaring limestone fireplace. Such opulence feels neither stuffy nor forced, while the restaurant brings genuine culinary chops to the neighborhood thanks to a talented team. Dry-aged steaks served with a host of sauces are obvious crowd pleasers, but don’t miss out on some of the more thoughtful offerings like smoked gnocchi with chanterelles, sweet corn and shaved black truffles or a proficient black bass en papillote. Potent cocktails are guaranteed to keep the night going until curtain call." - Michelin Inspector
