So surprised to see people leaving bad reviews. Had many meals there, as well as more then a few friends eat there often, and never once had or heard of a bad meal. Food is always fresh and delicious. Service is great, ambiance is perfect for all types of occasions. Definitely one if my favorite all time spots in nyc. read more

OK The place is expensive, but hands down the BEST kosher meat restaurant in NYC and probably east of LA (better than Shiloh's, but I'm sure some will differ). Everything was really good, but what differentiated Reserve Cut was the exceptional service. First our server was incredibly attentive to our daughter's nut allergies. In fact, without knowing about her allergy she warned the table that one of the nights specials had nuts and could be problematic to those with allergies. At desert time she had already checked with the kitchen to see what would be safe for our daughter. My daughter was thrilled she could order desert without worry. In case you are wondering sorbet and the beignet's were our selection. Also, my son's steak was a bit under-cooked. When one of the managers came to check on us it seemed as this was a matter of national security. Everyone went into action to make sure he got a perfectly cooked steak. We all had the center cut boneless ribeye for the main and were all very pleased. We'll go back again. read more

A pleasant evening with acceptably tasty food was marred by a deceptive business practice that borders on geneiva (halachic theft). Our server was friendly and prompt, the menu varied, and the quality of the food was fine (if a bit expensive). I don't believe it said on the menu that a 20% service fee would be added to the bill (maybe it did), but I'm OK in theory that a party our large (we were eight) would have a mandatory service fee. Twenty percent is the highest I've ever seen, but if there was a heads-up (I didn't see one, but there may have been) at least I was warned. So I asked for the check, which was $1,000 including the $200 service fee - which I happened to notice but very well may not have. I gave my credit card and the credit card receipt returned with a place to put the tip - even though I already paid the tip. It didn't have a line through it (as the wonderful Chops Resto Bar in Montreal handles it). It didn't say "additional tip." Their system leaves the strong impression that no tip has been given. Had I not paid close enough attention, I'd be out another $200 or more because of Reserve Cut's deceptive practices! When I spoke with the manager, his lies and obfuscations infuriated me. He said my server was supposed to orally tell me, and he just forgot. Poppycock. I've checked with others, and it appears they only say that when they get caught. He also said it's not their fault because "the computer prints out the bill that way." Sorry, but this isn't 1991, when that would be an acceptable excuse. In 2016, if you don't like what your printout says, you call your tech guy, he spends 20 minutes on it, and it's fixed. I spoke to the kashrus division of the Orthodox Union this morning, and to my delight they were even more incensed than I am, since their organization's name is on the restaurant attesting to its "kosher" (proper) status. He is going to talk to to the manager of Reserve Cut, and insist they either change the way they handle mandatory tipping - or he's going to have the hechsher pulled. Until that works itself through, can I suggest Wolf and Lamb, Le Marais, Prime Grill, or Mike's Bistro? All are excellent choices if you want fine kosher dining in Manhattan. read more

We're here from Miami and heard about this place. Loved it!! Best kosher restaurant we've been to. Ambiance service was excellent We had the 20oz reserve cut steak and it was perfect. Lighting and music was perfect. read more

If you are looking for a kosher steak house, that has class, style and knows how to make amazing food. I'm talking Michelin star amazing. Then this is it. I urge you to get things you would not normally get. I would skip the fish, not because it's not great, it is. But because the Steaks and Burgers and Meat is unbelievably good. If you go for lunch, get the burger. The burger is perfectly cooked and ask what the chef recommends in terms of doneness. If the wait staff say medium rare. Take it. The fries are perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Enjoy. This is a place that you go to on special occasions. Boy am I going to need a lot of special occasions. p.s. They serve mint in Tea in very cool cast iron teapots read more

I went here last night with 6 of my non-kosher-keeping colleagues. What a breath of fresh air for the kosher-keeping community, and for the NYC steak-eating community in general!! We were all thoroughly impressed by the decor and ambiance. This restaurant is one of the most upscale-looking and classy restaurants in the city - period - regardless of kosher/non-kosher. Walking to your table through the all glass wine cellar with a candle-lit water piece in the middle was a great experience that really impressed all of us! In terms of the service, our waiter was great. He had an excellent personality and offered suggestions. He was also attentive. They also have a group of servers who just refill water and wine glasses so my glasses were never empty. The food was equally as excellent. We started off with the Crispy Rice which I highly recommend - I wish we had ordered more of it because it was so delicious! We also had the volcano roll which was very good. There was also a salad that I didn't get to try but my coworkers were raving about it. For the main course, one of my coworkers and I shared the Bone-In Wagyu Beef Rib Steak. It was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We also tried several side items, my personal favorite was the Baked Black Truffle Mushrooms Potato - I wish I had one entirely for myself!! By the end of the night, my coworkers and I were all very happy patrons. My coworkers were actually thanking me for making the suggestion of this restaurant because they all loved it and would go back even without kosher-keeping guests! I hope Reserve Cut does well so that I can continue to have this amazing kosher option. 5-stars all around! My only complaint? I do have one gluten-free coworker (because she has Celiac, not because she's riding the gluten-free trendy wave) and she was very limited in what she could order. I hope they will improve on this for their future patrons (they've only been open about 5 weeks so they're still tweaking the menu). This isn't to say that she couldn't eat anything or left hungry, as she definitely was able to eat some things and REALLY enjoyed her branzino dish, but I was sad that she was limited on side items and appetizers. So, you can still go here if you're gluten-free, just be aware that it will be pretty limited. read more

let me start by saying i'm very harsh when i review kosher restaurants. But reserve cut did not let me down. we got there in time for our reservation, we were seated promptly with hot bread and menus brought over to us quickly as well.. the decor and space is really amazing, def one of the nicest i've seen in a while. appetizers came pretty quick, we got the wagyu sliders, and the crispy rice. both excellent. for my main i ordered the Cote De Boeuf , (bone in rib served with a side of marrow) and it was nothing short of the best steak i've ever had. hands down. cooked perfect all around juicy tender buttery with a little fat. it was delicious. service was also excellent. all in 10 out of 10 great for dates, birthday dinners, or casual gatherings with friends. read more

Excellent service and generous portions. The filet mignon was quite dry and chewy (disappointing experience), however, the steak au poivre was far more tender. The location is perfect for business meetings during the week, however, is a little out of the way on weekends, especially with all of the permanent road closures around that area. read more

Wonderful place! I love leaving detailed and beneficial feedback... So here goes! Decor: beautiful atmosphere. I went with my mom and 8 month old daughter. Reserve Cut seems to be more for couples celebrating special occasions or business workers enjoying a nice meal but the atmosphere worked well for my family too. The Tables are huge! I must point this out because a lot of fine dining places have small tables, only enough for your plate. But here, I didn't seem to scramble to move my cup of water or my glass of wine or organize the bread basket when the appetizers/entree came. I felt royal sitting at my table since the magnificent wine bottle display was right before us. The decor, again, was amazing! Service: simply impeccable. We made reservations for 3 and were seated right away. On yelp it says the place is not good for kids, and again it would seem that way but I was offered a high chair for my little one and felt like a super star since all the staff gawked at 'how cute' she was. They all chatted with us and especially her. She of course loved the attention. Our glasses was always filled. Bread was immediately placed on the table. We were constantly asked if everything was ok. Warm smiles everywhere. Food: I love dining at kosher restaurants and very critical of the food I eat. Here the food was delectable. The bread placed before us was very tasty. My mom especially liked the raisin bread. I liked the plain, my daughter liked both lol. I ordered cote de beouf my mom ordered the prime rib. The flavor was on point for both... Mine was better. It was cooked exactly as requested and the presentation was picture worthy... Too bad my battery died. Price: very expensive. If your like my mom, who loves to get the most out of her buck, you might feel a bit intimidated by the prices. But I'm the type who doesn't mind spending a lot on an experience, as long as it's good and worth it, and I would say this place gave it. But, again very expensive and if your looking to splurge, why not here. We both didn't complain, and my husband tells me I do that a lot anyway. I can't wait to return to bring the hubby. read more

Excellent meal - food, service and ambience. My first time here, the best Kosher restaurant meal I have had in memory, and one of the best period. The Caesar salads were very good, sushi was very fresh and delicious, and my Colorado Rack of Lamb was excellent. Desserts were tasty and we enjoyed our selections of wine by the glass. I hadn't rushed to try Reserve Cut given its reputation for high prices, but the tab was in reason for a Top Quality NYC meal. We look forward to visiting there again! read more

I reserve table for 10:30 at valentines night. The entrance was quick and we got our table without to wait at all. We sit in out table, watching each other like 5 minutes until we got the menu. Im not sure if the menu was special for valentines day but its was vert hard to find epitizer that sound good. We decide to eat only main course. My gf took salmon that was no that good, i ask the witedress if its grilled salmon and he told me no, how place that call himself "steakhouse" not making the fish on the grill ? I asked the wagyo steak with bone, was good, but nothing special that worst $105, same steak in any other resturant cost no more then $50. We finish to eat the main course, waiting to someone to come and take the plates, bring us the dessert menu, but no one came. We wait 10 min until we ask one of the guys to do it because no one pay attention to us. We ask dessert that was pretty good, 10 kinds of chocolate. The cocktails that we drink was very good. Mujito and other spaciel of valentines day. The bill was $320 include tip and i really think that its overcharge for what i got, from the service and the food. read more

Reserve Cut - Hint to waitress that its my wifes birthday. - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

Greeting- yes Vibe- beautiful Parking- garage Service- very good Price- outrageously high Bathroom- fail. One toilet Wine list- kosher wine only. Obnoxious mark up Food -Mushroom soup was the star of the night. Large portion with plenty of mushrroms. Tasty with a little kick - fake filet mignon $65. Horrible. Tough and chewy - french fries- not good! Flourless chocolate cake- its an inedible chocolate lava cake WIGB? No way This place is kosher. If you do not have to eT kosher then never eat here. If you eat kosher food and think this is good steak, you are a sucker. Kosher cuts of beef do not include filet mignon, strip or ribeye. All cuts here are lesser cuts made to look like the real thing. Awful. How can you serve lava cake? Its so 1990's. One of the worst dining experiences i had to encounter. I didn't eat much and now i am starving! read more

BUYER BEWARE Good restaurant with good ambience and sub-par service. I ordered a steak which was cooked very well and tasted great. However, the service was not perfect because of an issue my fiancé had when ordering. After ordering two specific sushi rolls my fiancé was brought two rolls which she did not order. She asked for two cooked rolls, which the server said was fine, but apparently they could not prepare them as asked, and rather than tell us that, the server brought us the closest thing- raw fish. Had my fiancé known that the cooked fish could not be provided, she would have ordered something else. Even though our server recognized that she did not bring what my fiancé ordered, noticed her displeasure, and then tried to justify why she brought us two items that we didn't order without asking if it was okay first, she did not offer to correct the order. She was very unapologetic and I believe that reflected her lack of respect for us as customers. As this dinner was in celebration of our engagement that occurred earlier that evening, my fiancé asked me to not make a fuss about it. I find this unusual for a restaurant of this quality as restaurants normally would correct their mistake. Given that this was a special occasion and that we spent so much on this dinner, we expected to be treated better and perhaps shown that we were respected as customers. read more

One of the few Glatt Kosher eateries in the financial district. I recently stopped by for lunch and they had a great $40 lunch menu that included appetizer, entree, and dessert. The food was really good and the service was impeccable. Some people may think the experience is overpriced and overrated, it's important to remember that a location two blocks from the New York Stock Exchange has tremendous costs. My recommendation is.... go on a payday it's worth it! If you stay for dessert then the Raspberry Creme Brulee is the way to go. read more

Amazing dining experience. The finest kosher restaurant experience in the western hemisphere, hands down.

Reserve Cut - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

The finer Kosher steakhouses in NYC all do a pretty good job with their steaks. Sure, some are cooked imperfectly and some are over-seasoned, but they all deliver a good product. Reserve Cut might just be a few notches above the rest though and while I have only been there once (so far) they are my new favorite Kosher restaurant. I was having dinner with two old friends and we started at the bar where Patrice (I am totally screwing up the spelling, sorry) was extremely attentive and helpful. We then sat down for dinner where Monique explained everything on the menu with attention to detail and honesty. We started with RC Crispy Rice and a sashimi platter. The fish was fresh and presentation was beautiful. For an entree I had the Angus Filet Au Champignon which was 12 ounces of heaven along with a side of baked black truffle potato. For dessert I had the peanut butter mousse. My friends and I left the restaurant feeling extremely satisfied without being over stuffed as is often the case in restaurants that load you up with bread and potatoes! The service was amazing, the food was cooked to perfection. The decor was beautiful. I usually have at least one negative comment to give but the overall experience was nothing short of perfect. I highly recommend. read more

The greatest filet mignon I've had so far. This restaurant combined great food and great service along with wonderful decor and ambiance. I had a "Sweet Life" aka Strawberry Mojito which was smooth yet tasty. I recommend the Cote de Boeuf or the RC Filet Mignon. These steaks just melt in your mouth. Definitely a must try! read more

From there wine selection to there bar and kitchen and layout I have finally decided they are the kosher 5 star champion !! Now we just need them to open up a location in our home town La California soooon !!!!! read more

I can literally write a whole essay on how much I love this place. The service, the atmosphere, the food is all exceptional. I truly believe this is one of the nicest steakhouses in all of Nyc. It is located in Wall Street in the beautiful Setai hotel on the 2nd floor. As you walk out from the elevator you have a seating area and maitre'd on the left. I find that it's best to make a reservation as there are some nights that are completely booked , however, they are very accommodating. They also have a beautiful and big bar where you can grab dinner or a drink while you wait. The decór is so elegant. They have several dining areas but what's special is the passageway of the beautiful glass wine cellar decorated with seasonal flowers. Once seated the waiter comes right away for drinks or wine. They are very efficient and everything comes out in the appropriate timing. 2 of my favorite drinks are the hibiscus margarita and I believe the other one is called té caliente. Their sushi is excellent I recommend the tuna tartare or the blackened tuna bites. As for appetizers my favorite are the steamed buns with the wagyu meat and the chicken po boy. Both dishes are phenomenal! If you like soup I highly recommend to try their mushroom soup which Is one of the best soups I have ever had. It is literally bursting with flavor. For entrees I tend to get the same thing all the time which is the reserve cut steak and my husband gets the delicious 24oz. wagyu beef bone in rib steak and he is always happy. I have also had the burger which is so so good!! And it comes with fries. The steak entrees don't come with sides but if you like to have something with your steak their French fries, Tamari string beans, and mushrooms are all a great choice! Let's end with dessert, you can't skip dessert, can you?!? I never say no to a delicious piece of cake. My favorite is the carrot cake but I believe they might have recently changed their menu since they acquired Michelin Star chef Richard Farnabe to their team. In conclusion (let's see how many of you picked up on this) this is def a fantastic place to go for dinner anytime or for a special occasion. It will def wow you just as it has me and that's why I keep coming back! read more

Wow. The food is delicious and juicy. Very impressive. Why 4 stars? We had 8:45 pm reservation, were seated at 9:30, but the worst part about it is that they didn't try to make the wait easier. I felt like I pestering them when I was asking about my reservation. Service: was not as fast as it should be. I kept flagging down anyone who would walk by but they were helpful. Recommendation: definitely recommend Reserve Cut. The food is great read more

Pricy and no good food. As a serious steak lover, i have been to all other steakhouses in this area(the Capital, Harry's, Bobbie Van's... Etc) and want to explore something new, then got disappointed by this place. First, they took off the steak i am interested into as shown on their online menu. So disappointed and i moved to the lunch menu. King salmon sashimi is ok as every street Japanese restaurant can offer. The Downtown burger claimed to be made out of aged Angus filet mignon is juicy but shockingly not tasty at all. Salt and too much spice overtook all beef flavor. I prefer to have a $7 ShakeShack burger which will be way better. The flavorless burger here will charge u $29 instead. The fries and dessert are just fine. Service is not bad as described in other reviews. However i do not care about service when the food is really good or simply too bad. They may serve good steaks but i doubt if i will come back based on my lunch experience. read more

Reserve cut is great! The food is lovely and the service is better. Ask for Ayal - he's the greatest server I've ever had.

World class fine dinning for kosher eaters. Food is prepared to perfection service is friendly and the place is beautiful all in all great experience warm atmosphere would defiantly come back. I'm trying to think of criticism but can't come up with any, I can't even count my dislike of the soup of the day since it was supposed to have somehow fish incorporated, that I requested not to put in foolishly, I say foolishly because if you had a professional chef work out a recipe, then either take it the way it was imagined or don't eat it at all, on top of that, as I expressed my opinion to the waiter, before I was even finished they already had a replacement on order. This place is to be Highly recommended. read more

Really nice ambience. Granted I am a vegetarian, but for the cost and caliber of restaurant, they should be able to do a lot better. We reserved a private dining room for my in law's anniversary dinner at $200/person. They knew beforehand that there would be more than one vegetarian present. The vegetarian appetizer was an unexciting salad and the main course was a PLATE OF VEGETABLES with no protein or carb. They should have been able to do much better than that. The dessert was mediocre as well. My husband's steak was great but the beef tacos were too salty. We both felt it was not at all worth the price. I left this dinner and still feel hungry. read more

All of the food was excellent - we had filet, steak salad, Reserve Cut salad, wine, garlic mashed potatoes, and green beans. The service was superb as our waiter and all wait staff were timely, courteous, and very helpful. They brought out all of our courses at exactly the right time while ensuring the steaks were perfectly cooked. Highly recommend! read more

Omg! What was this place! I was stunned from the moment we waked in! This place is beautiful and so modern. As you walk in you're surprised at the size of this place. It's HUGE! It has an open kitchen toward the back and we were able to peek in and see the food as it was being made. We ordered a ton and everything was lick-your-fingers-good! They had an appetizer that we ordered 3 of bc it was that good. It was a thin crispy bread with crunchy turkey-bacon on top. We loved the drinks too. They have many different specialty drinks. I don't remember what I got but it must have been good bc I kept it coming. This is now our go-to place when we entertain clients in NY. If you need to impress anyone in the NY area, this is the place to go. Call ahead of time to make reservations and make sure they're open. Oh, the service was sensational. The meat we ordered was the best ever. Each of us got something different and we were all silent as we savored each bite. Well done! read more

Went here last week with 4 non Jewish colleague (adding that in so people don't think this is a biased review). We all agreed the ambiance of this establishment is by far from the best there is at least in NYC. Kosher or non kosher the food here is top notch whether you are ordering meat, fish, soup, and especially the sushi. Everything is cooked just right and presented as well as a cook can present a dish at a large restaurant. We asked the waiter (wish I can remember his name for a call out to him but unfortunately cannot recall at this time) who was attentive, helpful, funny, and overall delivered great service to have the chef choose what he wants for a large sushi platter for 5 and everything was great especially the crispy rice spicy tuna. All in all this is a great place for a night out for dinner either taking business associates or for a nice quiet romantic dinner for two. Only downside is it isn't easy to get to and the closest parking lot is on Williams which is a few blocks away and at night in freezing weather not a fun walk. read more

I never imagined a kosher steakhouse could be so upscale and delicious, the fillet mignon was simply prefect a pure work of art, and the service matches the great food, we were specially impressed by our waitress who served us "Egle" she was amazing, helpfull professional and polite, forgot to mention the dessert if u like chocolate then don't skip the chocolate plate it was out of this world, will definitely be returning! read more

Wasn't impressed. Went there for a sushi lunch. They have some rolls without rice that sounded interesting but were just sashimi with some mayo. It just didn't work. Bartender/server was zero help and didn't seem to understand the menu. Yellowtail scallion roll had huge hard slivers of scallions?? Never had a roll prepared that way - for good reason. Had to perform sushi surgery to make it edible. Overall, for a $70 lunch, they need to up their game in the sushi dept. Maybe the steaks rock. read more

The first time I ate here (January 2015) I ordered a sushi roll and the Cote De Boeuf, both of which were amazing. Simply put, that was the best steak I ever had; flavor, marble, texture and char were perfect. However since that first wonderful experience, my returns there did not exactly match up. The Reserve cut prime aged burger was disappointingly below average but their Bahn Mi sandwich (not currently on the menu) was pretty decent. Last night, I ordered the Apple Smoked Short Rib Tacos, the Forest Mushroom Risotto, Wagyu Beef Rib Steak and the Snicker Bar. ASSRT were ok, not bad but definitely not great and nothing special. FMR was below average, I've had better risottos in pizzerias (Benny's Pizza in Brooklyn is one that comes to mind). Although the WBRS is significantly more expensive than the Cote de Boeuf, it was significantly worse - the meat was waterlogged, with little flavor, no marble to speak of (all fat near the bone) and the worst part was that it was chewy. Last night's saving grace was definitely the Snicker Bar which was a lot better than expected after having been underwhelmed until that point. The service was also pretty decent. I give this restaurant two stars because it is a high end restaurant with a menu that has too many miss items and not enough hit items. read more
