Luxury Dining Elite
A Midtown power-steak option built for big tables, big cuts, and classic steakhouse sides, with a prime focus on porterhouse-style dining. It’s at its best when you order to share, keep the sides traditional, and treat it as a dependable, high-traffic steakhouse stop rather than a subtle night out.
Must-Try Dishes:
Porterhouse for Two, Sizzling Bacon, Creamed Spinach

What makes it special: A classic Midtown steakhouse built around shareable porterhouse service.
Who should go: Groups who want big steaks and classic sides
When to visit: Lunch or early dinner for less noise
What to order: Porterhouse for two, sizzling bacon, creamed spinach
Insider tip: Order family-style: one big steak plus 2–3 sides beats multiple mains.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: No valet. Nearby paid garages along Broadway and 6th Ave; street parking is very limited and unreliable after 6pm.
Dress code: Business casual to dressy. Jackets common at dinner; dark jeans are acceptable but lean polished.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during peak dinner hours; conversation is fine at lunch or early evening, tougher late-night.
Weekend wait: 45–60 minutes without a reservation; bar seating may shorten the wait.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or 10–15 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited but workable—classic sides (potatoes, creamed spinach, mushrooms) and salads can form a meal.
Vegan options: Very limited—mostly vegetable sides; best with advance planning or modifications.
Gluten-free options: Yes—steaks, seafood, and many sides are naturally gluten-free; sauces and breads should be confirmed with staff.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re aiming for a bold, high-energy steakhouse vibe. It’s better for confident diners than quiet, intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? At lunch, yes. At dinner, expect a wait—early seating or bar dining improves your odds significantly.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who can handle a formal setting and steakhouse portions; not ideal for toddlers or strollers.
Best For
Better for: Large groups, expense-account meals, and classic porterhouse sharing with no surprises.
Skip if: You want a quieter, more romantic steakhouse or a menu with creative or modern twists.
