Vibes:
Date Night Magic
Girls Night Out Approved
Trendy Table Hotspots
Birthday & Celebration Central
A nightlife-leaning steakhouse with a dark, loungey dining room where the best meals come from sticking to the kitchen’s comfort-forward hits instead of over-ordering. Make it a tight two-plate read: one steak-or-chop main and one shareable starter, then stop before the meal turns into menu sprawl.

Lamb chops, Wagyu sliders, Filet egg rolls

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking along Steinway; fills up after 6pm. No dedicated valet.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—jeans are fine if styled, many guests dress up for nights out.
Noise level: Moderate-to-loud—music-forward room; conversation is possible but not hushed.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—dinner-focused spot; weekday dinners usually seat faster
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—mostly sides and a few shareable starters can be combined into a meal.
Vegan options: Very limited—best to review the menu ahead or eat elsewhere if fully plant-based.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free mains and sides; cross-contamination awareness recommended.
Best For
Better for: Celebratory dinners with music, cocktails, and shareable starters that feel like part of a night out.
Skip if: You want a classic, quiet steakhouse experience or a food-first destination with deep dry-aging and tableside service.
