Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is very limited; nearby paid garages on Greenwich and Chambers are the most reliable option. No valet.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy — jackets and heels fit the room, jeans are fine if polished.
Noise level: Moderate — lively steakhouse buzz but you can comfortably hold a conversation at the table.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation; longer during peak celebration hours
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — classic steakhouse sides, salads, and a few vegetable-forward options can make a full meal.
Vegan options: Limited — mainly salads and vegetable sides; best with advance planning.
Gluten-free options: Yes — steaks are naturally gluten-free and many sides work; staff can guide safely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a confident, classic dinner — it’s more polished and celebratory than intimate, but conversation flows easily.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible at lunch or early dinner, but weekends and prime times strongly favor reservations.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for teens than young kids — large portions and a formal pace suit older diners celebrating an occasion.
Best For
Better for: Traditional porterhouse execution, consistent broiler-fired steaks, and classic New York steakhouse pacing.
Skip if: You want a modern, chef-driven steakhouse or a lighter, more experimental menu.
