Bourbon Steak is always the most amazing dinner, especially when Marcela is our server. She immediately makes you feel like family and she knows so much about the menu, she could talk you through each item! We had a party of 16 on Saturday, and she helped everyone with drinks that could work with their meals, she kept the kids entertained and fed while parents had time to catch up, and then she brought out an extra surprise dessert at the end that made the night even more special! The restaurant is comfortable for everyone, with beautiful spaces for quiet dinner, and enough space for a big group like ours. We visit Bourbon Steak every trip, and we will be back to see Marcela ASAP! Thanks for another great meal and great night! read more

Located in Essex House. The ambiance was very chic. I loved the large booths that enclosed your party. The service was amazing. Our server was incredibly friendly, right amount of chatty, and ensured all our needs were met. I loved the recommendations that he provided. The food was soo good. Each course was a hit that we ate and left no crumbs :). I'm glad we finally had dinner at the hotel, we typically grab a coffee and pastry before we head out exploring for the day. It was such a great experience. read more

Cool new find. Located inside JW Marriott on Central Park South. Food was excellent and presentation and recipes that were bit more modernized compared to the traditional steakhouses. I really enjoyed their take on all the traditional dishes. Food was cooked well, ingredients were fresh, and steak had a really good seasoning and cooked perfectly. Desserts had a lot of unusual and cool items including shaved ice, basque cheesecake, and chocolate fondue. How fun! Inside was beautiful and modern. You will see a lot of kids and families who are hotel guests but it didn't bother me. If I had a serious business meeting though I may look elsewhere. Service was okay. Main problem I had was that our waitress disappeared during middle of the meal but eventually I called over another waiter and got him to service us. Service is why I took off a star. Another excellent additional to NYC steak scene. This place remains under the radar for some reason but it's definitely putting into your rotation. read more

Came for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. We had James as our server, professional and friendly. We had the Caesar salad, the Wagyu tartare --would not recommend, the oysters and clams were delicious. Onto dinner, the porterhouse steak for 2 perfectly cooked, Wagyu steak and shrimp, delicious and we enjoyed the Maine lobster pot pie, presentation was table side, nice chunks of lobster and a bit saucy for me but overall was good. The sides were delicious. Nice vibe for the place, service was excellent, drinks were spot on. Please note make sure you use the Central Park South entrance, we parked on 58th feet but the doors on 58th street are locked so had to walk around the block on a cold cold blustery night. Overall delicious check it out. read more

Visited during restaurant week for lunch. The service was lacking for a restaurant of this caliber. They were not busy at all but our server seemed preoccupied on her phone. The salmon was overcooked and dry but at least the salad was good. By the time the server came back my husband was already finished with his food and I didn't want to wait for another dish so we just paid and left. read more

Grabbed a same-day reservation for a Saturday night after snagging last-minute tickets to a Carnegie hall show. While I actually didn't love the steak, everything else was amazing: + Bourbon steak martini + petite romaine Caesar + 14 oz NY strip + creamed spinach pop tart + Michael Mina's banana tarte tatin Martini, Caesar and spinach pop tart were all perfect. Also really liked the dessert. Complimentary fries trio in place of bread service was a nice touch (though they do charge for refills). Unfortunately, the steak was wayyyy too smoky - not good! Would try the tuna tartare next time. 4.5 stars. read more

Bourbon steak house is an amazing restaurant that has some of the best food in Manhattan. The Caesar salad was delicious. The bacon wrapped scallops,tomahawk steak,and the old fashion cocktail was amazing a bit pricey $$. Our waiter Dino was very good and knowledgeable about the menu and what to ordered. The ambiance is very romantic and classy definitely a must see to appreciate it. There's plenty of parking in the street and also parking lots. If you're looking to make a date night a memorable one definitely try this place out. read more

This steak house is attached to a hotel right by Central Park. The inside is gorgeous, clean, sophisticated. I am not a steak person so I ordered the sea bass which was hardy, light and full of flavor. You have different options of bourbon which won't disappoint if you are into old fashions. For dessert get the banana tart, it has a citrus caramel that is to die for!! Our sever was also excellent too. read more

Bourbon Steak - Steaks were excellent - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

Craving steak, I stopped by the nearest steakhouse to my hotel, conveniently located right across from Central Park. From the bar, there's a great view of the park, although since I visited late in the evening, the view wasn't much of a highlight. The hosts were welcoming, and I was seated promptly. They offer a solid selection of bourbon cocktails, but I went with a classic Old Fashioned. For my meal, I ordered the Wagyu ribeye with half a lobster and a side of fries. The fries were excellent, and the lobster was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The ribeye, however, was just okay. It tasted more like a regular ribeye than a true Wagyu cut. While it had a nice char and was cooked medium, it didn't have that signature melt-in-your-mouth tenderness I've come to expect from Wagyu. Overall, the restaurant was good, but the steak didn't quite meet expectations. I'd still recommend it, just maybe try a different cut next time. read more

A fantastic dinner experience. The entire staff was excellent. Friendly hostesses to start, all table servers were on point. I feel like fine dining lately has been hit or miss in that category. The ambiance has a good vibe; you can hear the music but still have table conversation without yelling at each other. Everything we ordered tasted great. Steak was cooked as ordered, bacon wrapped scallops were yummy, and the wedge salad was soo good. I love that they serve a trio of French fries/sauces instead of bread. (The brioche bread on the menu sounded good but didn't get to try it). Would definitely come back and visit other locations. read more

Absolutely loved this place! What a great find. Amazing service and amazing food. The standouts were the lobster pasta and the ribeye. And the complimentary fries to start. The Caesar salad was also quite good. My husband enjoyed the bacon wrapped scallop with foie gras foam. I'd skip the crab claws. The banana dessert was good and fun to try but would try something else next time. Highly recommend! read more

You like a New York steakhouse but with flair? If you do, this place is for you. There are so many steakhouses in New York which are solid, but this one puts some flair into the category and elevates to a different level. This is a steakhouse by Michael Mina...and if you have ever eaten at Aquas in Sam Francisco, then you know he is bringing it. Mina soars here. Steaks are awesome as usual but so are the seafood dishes. Rib Cap, filet and sea bream all great...but the truffle mac and cheese and crème brûlée cheesecake (I know it's cheese cake but trust me on this one) are amazing. So are the beignets with dipping sauces and I am not a desert guy so you know these are great. Ambience is upscale New York steak house with views of Central Park. Service is on point and great as well. Don't miss this steak house, it's really one of a kind in New York with some West Coast flair. read more

We had such a wonderful experience thanks to the amazing staff! Jenny and Mark were incredibly accommodating, super friendly, and attentive throughout our entire visit. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and their positive energy really made a difference. Beatrice, the hostess, was also absolutely fantastic. She greeted us so warmly and helped set the tone for a truly special experience. Her kindness & energy made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. On top of the exceptional service, the food was absolutely spectacular. Every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. Overall, the experience was outstanding, and it's clear this team genuinely cares about their guests. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Of course the food was excellent, but this review is about our server, Marcella. I cannot recall experiencing service as engaging, exemplary, and welcoming as the service she provided and facilitated through her support staff. This was my first experience at Bourbon Steak and it absolutely will not be my last thanks to the food and in large part her role in my experience! read more

I'm a big fan of Michael Mina so I try to eat at his restaurants when I travel to places that have one. Unfortunately, the only time that would fit into our busy trip was today at lunch. I checked online for a lunch menu but there is not one listed. I should have called and asked instead of assuming they served their full menu at 2:45pm. But I didn't so I was sad and disappointed when I arrived and they were only serving their lounge menu. If only the website had indicated this, then I would have been able to make an informed decision. Sadly, the lounge menu didn't have any of the options I love at Bourbon Steak so we didn't stay. The hostess was very friendly when I asked about the menu and didn't seem annoyed at all when we left. She and my knowledge of how amazing their food is in other locations earned some stars. Hopefully, I'll be able to enjoy this location another time. It's a beautiful restaurant inside the JW Marriott. It's pretty fancy even though it's in a touristy area. It's for the fancy tourists and business people. read more

The best anniversary dinner ever:) beyond ecstatic I chose to celebrate my 1 year here with my boyfriend. Upon entering bourbon steak, the atmosphere and vibe were great. Our server Aldo, made the night worth remembering with all his interactions. He took his time to check in with us on every course. Each course was absolutely amazing!! Loved how perfectly cooked the scallops were as well as the medium rare steak. Aldo even surprised us with a little anniversary ice cream cone + candle at the end of our dinner. For our first time in New York, we would definitely come back here. read more

Incredible! Loved everything. Will definitely go back. They serve a fries sampler (pastrami seasoned, truffle, and something else) instead of bread. Really loved the cocktail sauce on the shrimp. Favorite item though was probably the mango shaved ice with coconut espuma! I do have a sweet tooth... Fast and nice service! Not too loud. Nice atmosphere. Was able to walk into the lounge / bar and get seated no wait. There is a dining room for reservations. read more

Bourbon Steak - Strip steak, whipped potatoes, creamed corn and onion rings - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

Every year, my friend and I participate in restaurant week. I saw Bourbon Steak on the list and made a reservation and boy was I not wrong with my choice. The ambience was nice and cozy our two waiters Christian and John were spectacular. The food was divine and the drinks were delicious and let's not forget the dessert. I highly recommend and I will definitely be returning. Next time I'll bring my mom for her upcoming birthday. FYI, if you go do yourself a favor and order their whipped potatoes, it is to die for. For our appetizer I got the Shrimp Cocktail and my friend got the Butternut Squash Soup. Both were insanely delicious. We both ordered the Skirt Steak cooked medium it was so good you didn't even need any steak sauce. For our sides we got there Creamed Spinach with crispy shallots on top and the best Whipped Potatoes you will ever taste TRUST ME it's all in their imported butter. For our drinks I ordered the Pisco Punch which was delicious and my friend got the Delicious Sour. We both opted for their Warm Beignets, which came with their chocolate mousse for dessert. It was so good we decided to get our favorite drink an Amaretto Sour to wash it down Yum-O. Everything was phenomenal. Can't wait to return. Cheers :) read more

She and the rest of the staff were really attentive. The food and beverage were excellent and memorable. We will definitely look to come back! read more

We needed a little nook to warm up and have a bite- perfect spot inside the JW MARRIOTT. We found a table and ordered a drink, of course some crispy hot French fries and a fresh wedge salad to split- such a nice place to sit and relax for a bit. Great service, clean restrooms- and beautiful decor. Vibrant colors with hints of mahogany, maroons and amber tones- really nice place to take a break and have a bite. read more

5 stars for the steak alone! We did the pre fixe option ($75 for a mix of appetizers, entree and 3 sides) and it was a great deal. The restaurant itself is massive with very high ceilings and lots of tables. It overlooks central park and is very nicely decorated inside. Our server Jorge was very friendly and attentive. The food came out at a good pace where we did not feel rushed or like we were waiting for too long between courses. Rather than bring bread to the table, they bring a trio of fries with 3 different dipping sauces. If I remember correctly, one was pastrami fries with a pastrami dip, garlic fries with ketchup and fries with a truffle dip. The fries were very good, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, not greasy or oily at all. On the appetizer plate was one bacon wrapped scallop with a foie gras sauce, tuna tartare with two toast points, corn soup and a small salad with a slice of grapefruit, hearts of palm and a piece of avocado. While all were tasty, the standout was the corn soup. Apparently they just added it to the menu and I would highly recommend they keep it. The other bites were good, but on their own are not reason to come back to the restaurant, while the corn soup would be. For entrees we ordered the rib cap and skirt steak, each was a decent sized serving. Both were exquisite, perfectly cooked, tender and very flavorful. The rib cap had a nice sear on the outside without tasting too charred and the skirt steak was some of the most flavorful I have had. While we truly enjoyed both, I think I would have to say the skirt steak was our favorite. Each steak came with a tomato topped with bread crumbs which was surprisingly flavorful. The sides were whipped mashed potatoes, asparagus and spinach which we enjoyed and again were a good portion. My main complaint about pre fixe menus is I usually leave feeling hungry, but this was not the case here as we left feeling full (not satiated, but full). The pre fixe is a great value since the rib cap alone is $98 on their regular dinner menu and is the same size. I would definitely recommend people come try the pre fixe here and I would 100% go back. read more

Had a great time with Ryan. He was attentive and understanding Ordered the ny strip, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, the onion rings Ny strip was cooked perfectly Horseradish cream was great but they do charge for it for awareness. Mac and cheese gratin was one of the best I've had The mashed was good but a little rich for me. But if you are looking for buttery mashed potatoes then it's it The onion rings were good but a little oily The basque cheesecake was really well done. I will order it again for sure Big tables and soft light- they have one of the best bathrooms I've been to in a nyc restaurant read more

Give it a 5/5 overall, Had an amazing server named Wanda who was super helpful! The entire staff is friendly & the front door people are super great. The inside of the restaurant is amazing. Very open and a nice date night type of vibe with great food. My favorites were the scallops, the free fries they give you to start the order & the rib cap. The rip cap was great and super fresh. NY beef quality is always great. I had the Lobster pot pie because it sounded interested but I personally would pass. 130 for an open pot pie is not my vibe. It misses on the creamy rich pot pie feeling due to how it's presented. It looks amazing in the video but I'd say just order one on the side or the full lobster instead! Overall the experience was great and I strongly recommend! read more

Celebrating a 30th birthday! I arrived earlier than my party and was greeted with kindness by the staff Marsella and Ryan were so interpersonal and inviting- extremely informative too!! We were given the option to smoke our old fashions and it was a beautiful show ! We ordered the 50 oz steak- I forgot the name it was a special they had that was like ' similar to the tomahawk '. The appetizers that we ordered were more of the sea food route; oysters from east coast were more sweet (delish!) and the west were tangy/ savory. For me, the star was the bacon wrapped scallops. My partner enjoyed his steak very much ! The Mac and cheese was okay. Not terrible ! But the pasta was a bit stiff/hard. The French fry trio were so good !!! The desserts were incredible. - they also surprised my partner with a tiny ice cream cone to celebrate! The ambience is sexy. The rooms are super cozy including the restrooms. Overall I would love to come back again if it means to say hi to the wait staff, they really made our experience much more special. read more
