“Excellent evening with friends in an extremely trendy steak boutique. The steak was delicious - Just the right balance of juicyness, beef and char on their signature pepper layer. The sides and dessert selection, including bread, sauces, vegetables and cake matched perfectly. Service was superb with detailed explanation of the menu, including all the specials for the evening. We had a gin martini cocktail with truffle olives to start. Then the wine was a great pairing to the steak, we chose an Italian Brunello. Couldn't ask for more.”
“Strip House is a true NYC classic. It has that old school steakhouse feel that never goes out of style. The staff is always friendly and professional, which makes the experience even better every time. The 20-layer chocolate cake is a must-order. It's absolutely huge easily enough for 3-4 people to share. It's very moist, rich, and indulgent without being dry at all. Definitely one of the standout desserts in the city. The baked Alaska is a fun presentation and makes for a nice show at the table, but flavor wise it's pretty basic compared to the chocolate cake. Overall, a solid, dependable steakhouse that delivers both on atmosphere and dessert. Definitely worth visiting if you want that classic New York steakhouse experience”
“Good, not great, especially for the price. Steak was excellent. Service was good. Salads were decent. Drinks were pretty good. Sides are exceedingly mediocre. Overall, I was satisfied. I’m sure there are better options in New York City but it was pretty good.”
“We had a 7:30 reservation on a Wednesday but weren't seated until around 7:50. That was frustrating, especially given the reservation. Once seated, though, the experience improved considerably. The food was very good—the char on the steaks was spot-on, the sides were tasty, and the key lime pie was fantastic. Overall, a solid meal, but the reservation delay kept it from being a seamless experience.”
“Visited for restaurant week dinner and I was very much pleasantly surprised, because this is probably one of the best meals that I've had in such a long time! Pros: -Very nice, welcoming host upon arrival & coat check. -Food and drinks arrived fairly quickly upon ordering. -All dishes were for the most part delicious and very generous in portion size-even the bread basket was great (my fave was the pretzel bread). I had the Mushroom Gnocchi (well seasoned, loved the garlic punch), Chicken Paillard (delicious, no notes), and Chocolate Cake (super decadent, I had left overs for 2 days lol). -Servers/Bussers working the floor were all super pleasant, attentive and helpful. Cons: -Our waiter Keith left much to be desired. He was somewhat dismissive and barely looked at you in the face when speaking, it was bizarre. He also seemed annoyed when we advised we wanted to partake in restaurant week menu (even though most tables around us were) and he didnt even give us that menu, we had to look it up on our phones. Maybe just an off day but he perked up immediately when it was bill/tip time. -The blood orange Cosmo while tasty was pretty sweet and didnt pack a punch like cosmos normally do. -The goose fat potatoes were underwhelming- they tasted like a very simple hashbrown. -Tight seating and the ladies dining at the table to our right were way over their limit but at least they were funny! Overall great experience and would return. Even with rest week menu, with drinks, tax, tip our bill for two was $235. So anticipate to spend here but its very much worth it.”
