A newer East Village steakhouse aiming for a polished, modern-room take on classic cuts and sides. It’s strongest when you treat it like an occasion meal—one serious steak, two shareable sides, and a slower pace.

What makes it special: A modern neighborhood steakhouse built around classic cuts and shareable sides.
Who should go: Celebrations and steak nights with friends
When to visit: Weeknight dinner for calmer pacing
What to order: Ribeye, porterhouse to share, truffle fries
Insider tip: Split one large steak and load up on sides—better value and pacing.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability and competitive after 6pm. Rideshare or subway is the easiest option.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy—nice jeans work, but this room rewards a polished look.
Noise level: Moderate to moderately loud—fine for conversation, but peak dinner hours get lively.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, longer for prime-time tables
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—mostly sides and salads rather than full entrées.
Vegan options: Very limited—vegetable sides can be combined, but not a strong vegan destination.
Gluten-free options: Yes—most steaks are naturally gluten-free; confirm sauces and sides with your server.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you’re aiming for a confident, upscale impression. It’s better for conversation-forward dinners than casual icebreakers.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible on weeknights or early evenings, but weekends are risky—bar seating is your best fallback.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really. There’s no kids menu and the vibe skews adult and occasion-driven; best for teens who eat steak comfortably.
Best For
Better for: Modern steakhouse atmosphere, celebratory dinners, and sharing one high-quality cut with sides in a polished room.
Skip if: You want a classic old-school steakhouse feel, strong vegetarian options, or a casual drop-in meal without planning.
