We are a staple of classic New York City. With our cozy ambiance, large portions, moderate prices, and, of course, famous 28 oz T-Bone steaks.

I went here for the first time tonight as it’s Carnevale and I really wanted a steak before my Lenten fast. This place was great! Relaxed, nice surroundings and great steak *and* a great value for NYC. I don’t understand the few negative reviews about the staff. Every single person working here was friendly and accommodating. And my waiter went above & beyond–he was the best. Unfortunately, I was alone, but will definitely be back with friends to share a soufflé and some appetizers!

Shrimp cocktail: 3/5
Served in a martini glass with a layer of sauce at the bottom and blue tortilla chips on the plate. Shrimp were fresh and tender; cocktail sauce was tangy with a hint of fruitiness. Paired with a dirty martini (gin = Hendrick’s), which fit the vibe perfectly.

We booked an 8:45 reservation to catch the jazz duo and were happy to be seated near the piano.

Also ordered: T-bone for one with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, spaghetti, chocolate chip cookie for two with ice cream, and bottle of Tuscan wine.

Tables are well spaced and comfortable.

Excellent food and service overall!

One of the best restaurants in the village. I grew up going to this restaurant from when I was a child. I love the atmosphere and the music they have playing certain nights. The food is very good too. I don’t understand some of the negative reviews about pricing. I’m a native New Yorker and almost every food joint is expensive today especially in certain areas of Manhattan let’s be real. And most places eventually go under if they don’t change high enough thanks to landlords hiking stuff up way too fast. The service has always been good too. Even if I didn’t have a reservation they have always got a table pretty quickly even if the restaurant was almost full. I highly recommended!!

Great food in an old steakhouse vibe. Very impressed with French onion soup and roasted chicken.

This is a great place to splurge. Had a terrific crab cake, roasted chicken Giannone with squash and cherries, and an amazing chocolate cake. There’s a great old New York vibe, and in a sea of restaurants with rising prices, this place deserves it for the quality.

I stopped by on a Friday night and saw at least 10–15 empty tables, but they still turned our party of two away. I even told the guy we’d be quick and were happy to sit at the bar, but he wouldn’t budge or even offer a wait time—just a cold “we’re booked.”

As a former restaurant manager, seeing that lack of effort was honestly frustrating because we made the effort to come visit. Anyone in this industry knows the odds of every single reservation showing up at the exact same and no current customers leaving is slim to none. Turning away ready customers when the floor is half-empty isn’t “being booked”—it’s just poor management and, frankly, a total lack of hospitality.

Village classic. Great bar scene (thank you Fiona, Norma and Hazel). John at front of house is terrific and a gent. Food eclectic and always good. Live music. The crowd is young and old, with the occasional celebrity hiding in a booth. Highly recommend.

I love this place! I have been dining here since my NYU undergraduate days in the early ’90s. I never get tired of their T-bone for two, expertly cooked all the time. You’re in good hands with the staff.

This place is a delight. Very cool and moody inside, feels both cozy and comforting and also like some dramatic dinner would happen there in some show like the sopranos. When we went we weren’t hungry enough for dessert but rest assured we’ll be back because my god everything was great and I’m sure the good times only get better. I got the salmon, which was fabulous, again with the salmon in this town, it’s never let me down. We split a Caesar and that was enough with the fabulous bread selection which included as a suprise the BEST cornbread I think I’ve ever had. Oh my lord. I’m gonna have to find out if they sell it separately, because I would buy a weekly loaf of that golden fabulous dream bread. I forget the name of our waiter but he had red hair and he was a wonderful time and answered all of my father’s random assortments of questions. Just a gem. We can’t wait to go back.

They wouldn’t sit us because it was “rush hour” and they wouldn’t want to do an order of dessert, so strange. Guy host at the front was very rude there are better options in the area. UPDATE: I am surprised that the restaurant would think their comment back was well executed. The restaurant was empty, so we were not taking seats from anyone. Also people at the bar were just ordering drinks, not entrees and we were also not allowed to sit there. This was discrimination at its finest, and it absolutely warranted one star.
