Our experience at Strip House Steakhouse on 44th Street in Manhattan was absolutely amazing. From…read morethe moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the general manager, Sophia, whose hospitality set the tone for the evening. Our server, Sean, was exceptional--attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making sure every detail of our meal was perfect. The food was outstanding, with perfectly cooked steaks and sides that were just as memorable. The impeccable service and genuinely welcoming atmosphere made the night unforgettable. We can't wait to return!

Ate there with a group of 5 for my sister's birthday. The…read moregrilled shrimp appetizer is out-of-this-world good. The menu has 2 sections for steaks -- a section that has USDA steaks -- they are more expensive; and a section that has steaks without the USDA prefix. They are less expensive. I had a 12-oz ribeye in the non-USDA section. It was something like $42. I asked for blue rare -- and they knew what that was and cooked it that way -- which was great. The steak was a little fatty but overall was ok to pretty good. I am thinking the USDA steaks would be better. Ambiance is great; waiters and service was great. You don't get sides with your order, but the appetizers and the 12-oz steak was plenty to fill one up. Overall I'd rate it ok to pretty good.

The place oozes style. From the Gascon-styled greeter with his pointed waxed mustache, in a…read moreflat-toped, wide-brimmed hat and suit, who invited us into the cloth-shrouded foyer, to the hostess who answered all my wife's questions about the prix-fix menu and bar options, to the tastefully chandeliered dining room appointed with Moorish flourishes, with wide open doors to take advantage of the gorgeous weather. While one can order ala carte, the restaurant's focus is the four-course prix-fix menu, which we and everyone around us ordered. The cocktails were spot on. I had the "Smokey," an excellently balanced, mescal-based sour on the rocks. My wife had the "Lemon," a bright gin beverage served in a coupe, reminiscent of a French 75. This was the first of the two decisions one has to make. The next was the entrée. I chose the Hanger steak. My wife, the branzino. The third option is a portobello mushroom dish, the fourth a burger. The food started with an amuse-bouche of broth from a French Onion soup and fresh bread served with soft butter and a ratatouille-like spread, moving on to an ample Champagne vinaigrette-dressed mesclun salad, which had large leaves of perfectly crunch lettuces, herbs, and other field greens. Then, began the unlimited service of simply excellent fries, taken straight from the fryer into a seasoning bowl and piled high into a wax paper-lined stand in the center of the table. Rounds and rounds and rounds of fries that are hard to stop eating. No ketchup. A stand of 6 sauces, from Au Poivre to Béchamel to an Aioli. The perfectly cooked mid-rare steak--better than some steakhouses I've been to came, and my wife's branzino, well seasoned, moist and with crispy skin (which I got ). Pleasantly gorged, we were finally served the berries and cream. Not too heavy and just the right amount of sweet. The only fault, my Cahors didn't come on time. The usually attentive staff didn't pick up on my looking around for the waiter. Half my steak was gone by the time it arrived. Still, it was a brilliant meal, in elevated environs. Pricey, yes, and worth it, at least once in a while.

Also, love that their happy hour specials are daily and not just weekdays. We came at 6pm and it was fairly empty at the bar area. We were also able to sit at some of the tables near the bar for happy hour. We all got the NYC Happy Meal ($25), which includes a Caesar salad, (truffle) fries, and a martini/wine. I go my fries with truffle, which had a strong punch of flavor paired with the refreshing Caesar Salad for balance. For my drink, got a Gin Martini with a twist. Such a great meal to yap with friends or on a date. It's classy and elegant, but casual enough even for a first date. The table also got an order of the AC Sliders ($15), which only came with two but good if you need more sustenance. I ended up ordering another round of martini since their happy hour menu is so good. I don't usually venture to this side of town, but the happy hour here is a must! Plus, all the servers were super friendly and everything was tasty.

Everyone there, not just the host and the servers, but everyone you'll encounter, is welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. We stopped in on date night and had a great time. We ordered from the restaurant week menu and off their regular menu. The wedge salad, the NY strip, organic carrots and flourless chocolate cake were great choices off the restaurant week menu. From their menu I was elated to see Jim Brady oysters with truffle bechamel, which I paired with a crab cake and the Brass Knuckle potatoes with bacon, gruyere and scallions. Everything was delectable and perfect temperature. We sat in the main dining room but they have an extensive bar with comfortable seating and tables also available. We always look forward to our visit, and once you go I hope you will too.

When we walked in the place was empty and we continued the Chardonnay journey with a glass of Nozzole Le Bruniche. The ambiance was cozy and definitely smaller than the location on East 60th Street. We opted for their $58 3 course prix fixe menu. For appetizers, we got the cacio e pepe and Caesar Salad. Both dishes hit the spot. I personally enjoyed the pasta. For lunch, we got the squid ink linguine and the vitello alla milanese. The Vitello alla Milanese was huge, it took me days to finish. My friend also took her linguine dish home too for lunch the next day. For dessert, we got the strawberry shortcake, tiramisu and flourless chocolate cake. All three dishes hit the spot but we were too full to finish it and took the dessert home where our other halves consumed it. You can't go wrong with the prix fixe. Personally I would stick with the pasta dishes.

Holy cow! We came here because we had been a loyal customer of the West 4th street restaurant with…read morea similar name. Well...this was just as good! The noise level was a little high but we sat in the corner and could be heard and hear no problem. The tables and chairs (no cushions) were comfortable enough. Lighting was ok d/t mostly to outside NYC lights bathing the table. The service was perfect--they came by to see how we were doing a few times...hooray and kudos. The baked clams were a little crumbly but delicious and the sauce was to die for. The portion and presentation were perfect. The veal parmigiana was one of the best ever. The crust was adherent and neither too thin nor too thick--just right. The cheese and sauce were also in just the right amounts. The veal, crust, cheese and sauce were all cooked perfectly and seasoned with care only a long tenured chef could accomplish! The bolognese tagliatelle was cooked just right--neither mushy nor tough. The three meats were like a medley in my mouth with flavors that couldn't be beat. The waitstaff and maitre de' cared, they cared a lot that people had a great experience. We will be coming back!!!!

We found ourselves in the Gramercy Park neighborhood and stumbled across Palermo…read more The receptionist Eduardo "Ed" was warm and full of charisma. He found us the perfect table in a corner nook of the restaurant. Cocktails - were incredible! I had the dirty martini. It gets its "dirty" from a Chimichurri tincture that left pretty oil spots on the surface of the drink. This was one tasty and sturdy cocktail. My wife had the Passionfruit Pisco Sour. Also excellent, perhaps slightly unbalanced to the sour side. We shared a 16 oz. ribeye steak cooked medium rare. It was perfect. Laura, our server, was outstanding. Fun, party ambience with afro-house music soundtrack delivering the vibes. We really enjoyed Palermo, and look forward to returning!

We came here for lunch today, September 7th, around 2:00 PM. The restaurant was pretty much empty;…read morethere were just three tables taken, including ours, and a single waitress managing the entire room. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh, and everything was going smoothly until the check arrived. As a New Yorker, I was surprised to see she had automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill. To make matters worse, after running my credit card, she handed back the portable credit card machine asking for an additional tip. When I asked her if the gratuity was already included, she stuttered, looked embarrassed, and those few seconds were completely off. I always tip at least 20% minimum, especially when the food is as great as it was here, so this wasn't about the money. I just strongly dislike servers taking control of my bill and trying to double-dip on tips. Ultimately, despite the food being delicious, this dishonest behavior ruined the overall experience. Management should address this issue immediately.

The food was excellent. Everything we tried felt well thought out and full of flavor. We had the wild mushroom soup (definitely recommend), the trio of pancakes (great to share), the burrata salad, and the steak & egg -- which comes with rice fried in the steak's own fat and was super tasty. Cocktails were also a highlight -- we tried the Le Ciel and the Yuzu Cloud, both really well made. Also worth mentioning, the staff was extremely friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. Overall, a really solid spot that we'll definitely be coming back to.

Went there for brunch…read more Food was mediocre, service was ok but manager's response was horrible. Went there for a birthday brunch with 7 people (2 kids). Two dishes took 2 hours, so we asked them about them. Turns out they forgot to put them in. Server was apologetic. We understood and said we'll just cancel them but server said that they will comp it and it'll be rushed. So we asked for one of the two dishes at this point cause we were in a hurry and kinda full. Server specifically said "Don't worry, we will comp this dish". We noticed that the dish was on the receipt so we asked about the comp'ed dish. Manager said "you ate it, so best we can do is give you $2 off. We were nice enough not to make you pay the minimum for 8 people ($85/person)." We only had 7 people.... He was also not nice to his waiter. I can't endorse a place that doesn't treat their waitstaff with more respect.

The server was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. This under the radar steakhouse really exceeded my expectations.
