Rothschild TLV

“Had an amazing dinner at Rothschild TLV and I can’t recommend it enough! We started with the asado bites and sushi — both were absolutely delicious. For the main, I went with the steak and fries, which was cooked perfectly. Every dish was flavorful and well-executed. What really stood out beyond the food was the hospitality. We showed up without reservations, and the host was super accommodating and got us seated in no time. The service was amazing. The restaurant itself has a warm, cozy vibe that makes it perfect for a nice dinner out or a birthday celebration. Definitely coming back — highly recommend!”

“Had a lovely time here with some business associates. Intimate feel and great food. The bluefin tuna was especially delicious.”

“I'm glad I waited for the second time to review this restaurant - because they truly upped their game. The truffle onion soup was SO tasty and not too truffles. The burger with fries was unexpected as the last time there were no sides to any dishes; it was VERY good, and VERY filling (and my husband and I split it!). The Bronzino was fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of the *entire* creature being on the plate, but ... I'm not naive I know where fish comes from... so I' accepted the head too 😞. Ambiance was far better than last time & waitress was so kind. I definitely recommend the winter passion - was such a great mix of tangy & sweet.”

“Excellent food, we had 3 issues w our experience three. 1) Atmosphere/ decor was lacking. If you’re charging $85 for a main course, you should have tablecloths on the tables. 3 tables had tablecloths the rest were bare, felt like we were in a diner. 2) No bread was offered. Once again, for $85 mains, bread should be offered, especially because the sauces were delicious and it would’ve been great to dip bread in. 3) Lastly, they added an 18% gratuity for a party of 2. Nowhere on the menu does it say that.”

“What we ordered: fish tartar, fries, focaccia, 40 oz steak Price: $460 (after a mandatory 20% tip) Let’s start with the positives: steak was cooked well and tasted great and that’s it. My little brother wanted steak so I took him here for a nice lunch. We asked for tap water and got a bottle of water ($22) that we didn’t realize was going to cost anything (on account of us asking for tap). To start I ordered a focaccia ($14) and a tartar ($34). The bread came and it was two small loaves that looked nothing like a focaccia or tasted nothing like it. It came with a tiny dip and 3 confit garlic teeth and half a roasted jalapeño. It wasn’t a focaccia nor was it good (we were starving though). The tartar came and the fish was pan fried to well done. I personally never heard of a fully cooked tartar. My brother already started eating so I didn’t want send it back and ate the under seasoned salad portion while he ate the overcooked fish. The steak ($275) was excellent so no complaints there. I didn’t mind that it was overpriced since at least it was a nearly perfectly cooked medium rare (which is hard to do on such a large steak). The fries ($16) however, were horrible. Hardly crunchy and somehow dry on the inside (and few in number). The bill came and a mandatory 20% tip was added. I wouldn’t normally mind since I tip at least that usually, but I mind if it’s a mandatory 20% when the waitress was on lunch break for a good portion of our meal. A restaurant shouldn’t charge steak house prices without either steak house quality food or steak house service. It’s normal for waiting staff to need to eat lunch- but then you need to have staff to compensate. If you don’t, you certainly can’t start the mandatory tipping amount at 20%. Rothschild TLV doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be. The lack of vision is clear. Music typically found at a shawarma grill, prices from a top end steak house, service of a sit down burger joint, focaccia that isn’t focaccia, and salad befitting a fast casual restaurant (bizarrely labeled “tartar”). The chef is talented (otherwise the steak wouldn’t be as good as it was), but it seems to me that he’s given a confusing vision by ownership. The sushi/steak house combo just made me think of reserve cut (and so did the prices) and the comparison wasn’t flattering to Rothschild TLV.”
