In terms of Kosher upscale steakhouses in the city, this one has to be the worst probably. The quality of the meat from the steaks to the appetizers isn't up to par. Extremely overpriced. Only good for ambiance and being Kosher. the best part about the meal was the sides read more

They are crazy they got mad at me for tipping 18% and not more turns out the waiter didn't put the extra tip on the receipt but how can you get mad at someone for not tipping more then they are forced to read more

I was fortunate to have a nice lunch at Reserve Cut and had to order the crown jewel item in the menu, the 22 OZ WAGYU BEEF BONE-IN RIB STEAK. It was a tasty steak and it came with bone marrow on the side. I've never had a wagyu steak before and wasn't sure what to expect. In some ways I was disappointed because it tasted like a regular steak to me. Upon telling friends about my experience and reviewing my photos, I realized that they did not give me a wagyu steak. I asked for my steak mid-rare and they cooked it closer to medium. I snapped a pic of it and realized later on that the steak did not possess the marbling you'd usually expect from a wagyu steak. It's a shame that this steak itself costs $109 and that I might have been bamboozled since I was a newbie to the wagyu world. I'd advise anyone to be weary of what they advertise versus what they actually serve you because my crown jewel experience ended up a mediocre disappointment. read more

It was Monday. 7:59pm. I live block away and was just passing by in search for a cup of coffee and noticed Reserve Cut arranged outdoors sitting. Only one table was taken. I was with someone and we decided on a quick bite, a drink and desert with coffee just to support local business during quarantine. I told waiter: we are here just for desert and a drink. (I am on strict diet and don't normally eat past 7pm) It's was so obvious waiter decided that our look was not sufficient to be a steak house clientele so he went on talking with someone and upon return we been told they only take reservations at the moment. I said you are completely empty. It's Monday. 8pm. Quarantine. By the time 1/3 of tables be filled (if at all) we be far done with our order. Nope. Did not work. Whomever is a manager of this place, you need to learn how to read people. Random people WONT walk on wall st at 8pm. I was being nice but I better stay with Capital Grill where every one know me for living 10 years in the area and "today as usual" should mean something, right? Your obnoxious service is a disgrace to the area. I took a photo of your "very busy" outdoor area". I will smile when I see "space for lease" by Winick very soon Went to support Adrienne's pizzabar instead. They are just lovely. read more

Reserve Cut - Covid-19 dining area - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

We went to reserve cut for my birthday. my friends decided it would be nice to surprise me with dinner especially a steak house. We had done the others, Ruths Chris, Lugers, Porter House, STK, it was time to try a new place. Reserve Cut does not disappoint. upon entry of the elevator to the second floor the doors open and you're greeted with a large waiting area with comfy couches with pillows and a bar further inside. Prices at the bar range from $10 for a beer to around $18 for a specialty cocktail. I had one made with Makers Mark, Lime, Mint and some sort of mixer. it was delicious. Decor is top notch and you can tell they spared no expense in decorating the place. Lots of fantastic leather bound chairs, fine linens and flatware decorate each table. wait staff is professional and friendly. The food simply put is amazing. Prices are on the high end as you are paying for top notch cuts of beef, available Waygu, Prime cuts and add in the fact that it has all been blessed by a Rabbi (Kosher) and you know you're eating quality beef. We settled on a few starters, Sliders, some Short Ribs, and for me Steak Tartare with a quail egg. flavors and seasoning were perfect. the tartare could have used more crostini rounds but i'm nit picking. For our mains I ordered a 16 ounce Rib Eye, a few others ordered Filets and more ribeyes. the special of the night was a Steak for two at 40 ounces carved table side. price tag on that? $295.00 This steak house is not for the faint of heart. sides included mashed potatoes with truffle, Asparagus and string beans. all seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of crunch for the greens. The added bonus was the steak sauce served with the meat. I cautiously tried it hoping it wasn't an "Asian inspired" semi-sweet glaze of sorts. To my delight it was a concentrated Beef Au Jus style sauce with mushrooms at the bottom. simply divine. Prices are to be expected for this area of Wall Street in FiDi. I recommend you come with a wallet filled with plastic or cash. the bottle of wine we selected was on the low end of cost and was $100.00 for the bottle. Valuewise you can't beat this place, Kosher, open late, delicious food, wait staff that are extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. an in house Sommelier who is an expert at recommending a wine for multiple palates. read more

We had a very disappointing experience. Started off by waiting 20 minutes to order a drink. Bread & water came right away and then everyone disappeared. It seemed like they had plenty of staff. We ordered 4 appetizers that were very good. When our main meal came they could not remembered who ordered what. They then placed our meals with no follow up on how they were. One meal came cooked wrong and after waiting another 10 minutes to wave someone done, we waited another 20 minutes, with no exaggeration for the steak to come back well done. Yuk. Not even a new steak Never fun to eat when everyone else is done. And again no follow up. When we called to share our experience they told is there is no one to talk to and send an email. A very disappointing experience. read more

Foods good, but so are the other 500 steakhouses in NYC. insanely expensive. very nice restaurant.

From the sushi to the desert everything was amazing. Not only is the food delicious but the attention to detail and ultra professional service makes the dining experience superb. Had some sushi, Homemade beef jerky, and a ribeye. On top of all this - three or four single malts and I was good! read more

This was my first Kosher Steak experience, I was very impressed by the food and service at Reserve Cut. The restaurant is a lot bigger than I expected when we first entered. The restaurant has a relaxing ambiance, the restaurant was moderately busy, but not too loud when we were there We all ordered different cuts of Steak and everyone was impressed with their order. We also ordered fries and mushrooms for the table, both sides were excellent. I would recommend Reserve Cut to anyone looking for a great steak in NYC. I'm looking forward to going there again soon read more

One of the best kosher steak houses. I recommend getting the short rib tacos, the sushi, and the reserve cut steak. You'll think you're not at a kosher steakhouse. Thank me later read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Reserve Cut and will probably never go back. I have dined at this restaurant a number of times in the past and had fairly good experiences. However, things have gone down hill. First off, the staff screwed up my reservation and then tried to charge me a $300 fee because of their mistake. Then the lamb chops I ordered were inedible; they tasted spoiled. A woman and Victoria at the front desk was extremely rude and unprofessional. There are many better choices for high end kosher cuisine in NYC where you will be treated better: Tabernacle, Barnea, Noi De Carne, to name a few. read more

I came here with my husband for our 8th anniversary and it was everything I could've asked for and more. The ambiance, lighting and music was perfect for a romantic evening out. The rainbow roll was out of this world, best I've tried anywhere. We shared the mashed potatoes and wagyu beef bone in rib steak and it was a perfect portion for both of us. The mashed potatoes were delicious and had a crispiness to it that made it different, unique and extremely flavorful. The wagyu bone was amazing, must try! read more

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

Covid alert. Even though it is mandatory to check for covid vaccinations in New York, no one checks at the entrance and none of the waiters or staff are wearing a mask. They come very close to you and talk loudly and it's really disrespectful and irresponsible of the management for both their staff and their customers. Food was good, so if you don't care about covid then everything else was good. read more

Service was great. Very nice atmosphere, upscale restaurant. Food was good. Appetizers, get the spicy tuna on the sticky rice, best thing of the night.... get the green beans as a side, those were delicious too, not boring green beans.. Thise are my 2 pointers. Steak was ok, I think it needed just more salt. read more

Going in, I did not know what to expect. I was not going here because of the kosher appeal, as I am not Jewish. But, after looking at the menu I was very excited to go. I had never tried tuna before this experience, and let me tell you, this was probably the best place for me to try it, as it was absolutely delicious! I will without a doubt be going back to Reserve Cut in the future, even if it is just for those two items alone! I also tried two meat appetizers, the tacos and the bao buns, which were very good, but the tuna was the star to me. The service was outstanding, there was always someone there to take our plates away as soon as we finished, or fill our water once we took a sip. My water was never halfway full! Additionally, the restaurant was stunning inside. Even though it was pricey, it was worth it, and I would recommend it to anyone! A must try! read more

over priced good but does not give you the value of what your paying. embarrassed ... glass of wine 1/4 filled ouch ouch

Quick update since I have been here three times in last few years. I still love this place! The ambiance and decor is amazing. One of the best kosher restaurants I have been too. This is my husband's and I go to place for special occasions. I tried so many things on the menu at this point. Ribs are tender and fall off the bone good. Sushi is fresh and tasty. Beef carapacio is something different. The risotto is delicious. Even the French fries are great here. The thing I always come back for is the increabile steak. Tender, juicy and delicious. Always seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. I really like the service, very nice and attentive. Waiters are friendly and always try their best to give great recommendations. It is a pricey spot, but I always feel like it's well worth it because the food is always on point. I haven't been disappointed yet. If you want to try a nice classy kosher spot or amazing steak this is the place for you. read more

There are many reasons why I'm giving Reserve Cut such a low rating such as a snooty sommelier who seems to possess no knowledge of wine other than its price on the menu. But above all, the main reason I would never return is the blatant LIE they tell on their menus. For a hefty price of $109, what you get is 109% not wagyu beef. It was tough, chewy and lacked seasoning. There was definitely no sign of marbling in the meat. In fact, I actually enjoyed my coworker's steak more and it was almost half the price. We got the short rib tacos and a couple of other apps which weren't bad but nothing great. The restaurant itself was beautiful but with such high costs for average food, you're better off going somewhere else. read more

I'm posting this review later than I'd normally do, due to a very hectic travel schedule. So, apologies in advance if it's a bit less specific and organized than my other reviews. I'll start by saying that this restaurant is very large and nicely laid out and appointed. In particular the 'wine hallway' that runs thru the quasi-center of the restaurant is absolutely stunning. We dined here for dinner, this past Monday, during a packed house, with a party size of six. Service was good and attentive. The food was very good overall. I thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom soup, which had excellent flavor, aroma, and unique texture and viscosity. I could have gone for another bowl, to be honest. The myriad of starters, including the fries, sushi, salmon, etc., were all thoughtfully plated and tasty. For my entree, I opted to go "vegetarian", with linguini, caper, olive, and lemon oil. It, too, was quite good. For dessert, the table ordered a good cross-section from the dessert menu. My favorites were the banana-centric dessert, and the coconut sorbet, respectively (the latter of which is the best of its kind I've ever had). Overall, a wonderful meal and dining experience. Will most certainly recommend and return. (NOTE: The photos being posted come from various members of my dining party, and don't necessarily include all of the specific items noted in this review.) read more

This is a amazing restaurant in NYC for special occasions. Decor was awesome and very upscale. Great food and wine. Hidden gem

Came here for lunch. Ordered their 10oz reserve cut steak. Tasted like a decent steak. It was a little pricey at $68. I feel like you are paying more for the kosher aspect of this restaurant. Nothing compared to the stuff I had in Japan. My friend ordered the pepper steak and it had way too much pepper on it. It was more pepper and less steak. It was also cooked to medium-rare when he asked for medium-well. He was not a fan. The place looks very fancy. Our waiter was nice but she was definitely new. She was clueless about all the food. She didn't ask about how we wanted our steaks cooked. Probably not coming back read more

Nice restaurant decor in FIDi - was quite overpriced as we were rushed throughout our whole meal, our steaks were not overdone to medium rare, and service was pretty poor. I was expecting 5 stars as this is an expensive steakhouse similar to maestros or delmonicos - honestly please go to one of those instead. read more

I'm not usually in this area, but a friend and I were checking out dead rabbit and wanted to find a dinner spot w some excellent dessert options (ie chocolate cake). After browsing quite a few menus- we ended up here. Best decision! The staff, the food, the drinks- all were superb. Perfect ending to a lovely day in FiDi. As a heads up- we didn't realize til we were seated- this is definitely more of a date night spot. read more

Horrible horrible horrible....NEVER AGAIN I ordered from reserve cut for a Shabbat weekend to be delivered on Friday bc I was staying in Fidi for a work event. We went back and forth emailing about this so called menu. I worked all day and got a call from my Boss that there was very little food and nothing of what we had supposedly ordered for $519.00. It's sickening...let's see if they refund for the mistake that we cannot correct bc they are closed and we don't have enough time to get anything else. Thanks Reserve Cut you really know how to royally screw things up. read more

Food is average, no real flavor. Most tasty thing I got was the short ribs taco. Got the bone in wagyu rib eye and it didn't have much flavor. Very disappointing. Service was average. Not worth the price point. Very nice ambiance though read more

We had a special occasion dinner there for 50 people. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious and it was a perfect evening. Thx

Went for a business dinner and was excited to be at a kosher restaurant where I could order a steak. Reserve Cut was a TERRIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT. Our steaks were both over-cooked (I asked for rare and what I got was Medium-Well) and one of our side dishes never came, which was bad enough. To make our experience worse, the table next to us invited a couple to talk to them. This couple hovered between our tables, standing with their backsides at the edge of our table and the waiter said there was nothing he could do! Finally, I would note that the Receptionist never asked to see our vaccine cards and, when I offered to show mine, said that they were not worried about it. I strong advise you to go to Wall Street Grill, Prime or Tabernacle. Reserve Cut is not only a waste of money but with COVID everywhere and their lax attitude, stay away. read more

Have been here several times and enjoyed every dish we've tried. Great ambience good pricing excellent food highly highly recommend

Kosher a plus if that's something you require For the actual food Thumbs down Nothing special The Waygu Burger is absolutely awful. Service is blah Not bad not great read more

The ambiance is very quiet. You can hear yourself think and you can certainly hear the person you're talking to, which is a plus. It is a great place for business meetings. It's also not jam packed, which is nice. I ordered the lunch special. Specifically the white bean soup, filet, & sorbet. The complimentary bread was delicious. Probably one of the best parts of this experience. The white bean soup was SO SALTY! I could not eat it. Took one spoonful and my blood pressure probably hit the roof. I was not going to say anything because I was on a lunch with my boss, but my boss suddenly exclaimed: "OMG! The amount of salt in this is ridiculous!" We didn't even bother sending it back. No one asked us "how is it?" or anything so I told my boss I'd review it on Yelp and she gave me her blessing. I ordered fries for my meal because the waitress said I could not sub the broccoli for fries. That's fine. My boss wanted fries as well. The waitress insisted that we share. I didn't want to share. Why do you care that we share? I wanted my own.... just get us two.... Well, she insisted that we order one - so I felt like I couldn't really eat the fries because my boss was eating them too and I didn't want eat more then my boss and..... just bring us two fries next time!! The portion size of fries are not humongous. Sheesh. The steak was great. But beware - the lunch portion is small. Maybe I would have felt more filled if..... I had gotten my own fries! Shirley temple I ordered was not good. To be fair, the waitress warned me that they had their own way of making it.... but I'm pretty sure they accidentally used seltzer. However, the waitress never checked on me - if the drink was okay. Etc. I felt like she should have done that at least... but nope. Sorbet (especially the mango) was tasty. Very good. One other downfall: The busboys want to clear the table as fast as possible. They almost took the bread before we finished - and we had to tell them no. Then, they wanted to take the fries. I said no.... they came back two minutes later... and asked if we were done. My boss said yes. I think she was just annoyed at that point. If I had my own fries though.. I would have said "no I am not done." The moral of this review: please, let people order what they want. Check on folks. Busboys - please chill out. read more

Expensive and the mains aren't worth it. I'd go for the apps tho they are good. Vibes are good tho

Highly disappointing. The food and the service at the Reserve Cut was absolutely horrible. It doesn't even deserve 1 star. Horrendous. The price for the quality is imbalanced, the food tasted plain, and the portions were small, and the prices are through the roof. Do they think that people have money to burn, or there isn't any other restaurant that you can get better tasting food, for literally 30% of the price they charge here. The Steak was very dry and had no taste, and it took over 45 minutes to get to my table. Seriously? It was cold, and lacked authenticity and flavor. Staff - unfriendly and rude! The food took for ever to come out, but another thing that got me mad was the attitude of our waiter. He was the rudest f#%^ ever. I left this place and I truly regret the decision to eat here, I would never eat here again!! read more

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

Had the worst experience here when I got sexually & verbally harassed by the table next to us sitting with a group of 5 men who shouted out from across the table - racial, sexual and degrading slurs due to the fact that our waitress came over to us after we waited 40 minutes to order our main course. Management handled this situation poorly and sided with the other table as the owner is friends with them. Did not get to eat our main courses as they arrived while we were dealing with this horrific and traumatizing situation. Neither will I or anyone associated with me will be coming back to this restaurant due to poor management & customer service. read more

Get the Le Boeff and don't look back. With marbling on par with the Miyazaki, you'll leave happier than the guy who ordered Wagyu cut. Medium rare. Bone marrow aside. And don't skip the shishitos. Enjoy read more

Came here with a group of non-kosher/kosher co-workers for a holiday dinner. The restaurant is very large and can accommodate multiple large parties. They have at least 3 separate dining spaces which could be easily converted into private dining rooms. The glass wine cellar is beautiful and very impressive. Wonderful wine selection, the prices tend to be on the higher end. I think the red wine by the bottle starts around $58. We had a reservation on a Thursday night and were seated promptly after arrival (coat check available during the winter). They offer sushi and other seafood items, but I don't expect them to have the best sashimi, since their specialty is steak. I had the wagyu sliders as appetizer (very flavorful and juicy) which came with taters (a nice surprise). I like very lean meat, without fat and I ordered the "plain vanilla" filet mignon. My food was tasty and good, but I wouldn't consider it the greatest steak I've ever head. The truffle baked potato was great. I have to give a special thank you to the attentive staff, who constantly refilled our water, drinks and bread baskets. I enjoyed our waiter, he was a bit dramatic, but was witty and charming. read more

If you're looking for an amazing steakhouse experience don't come here. Waygu was definitely not waygu. And not seared like a steak should be. Asparagus was so bad - old and they served the very bottom of the stalks. Not a tip in sight. Totally inedible. Waiter was clueless about the menu items. Had no idea what risotto was - he thought it was pasta. We had to explain its rice and he should check with the kitchen to confirm. Decent wine list. I would never return and would never recommend this restaurant. Wow. What a waste of a meal - and so many great steakhouses to choose from in NYC. WHY DID I PICK THIS ONE? read more

I have to say : this place was great ! The only reason why I give it 4 stars out of 5 is due to the fact that my husband didn't like his sushi roll (The seabass roll) and when he told one of the waiters that he didn't like it - the waiter started probing him with questions about why. Other than that, the meat is AMAZING. The "hickory beef tacos" and the "Texas Baby back ribs " were divine. I also ordered the " Rainbow Roll "which was also WOW. The decor was also beautiful. A really nice and relaxing setting. Would definitely come back in the near future ! read more

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

Reserve cut is one of the few kosher restaurants in Manhattan to emulate a European gastronomical experience. A fusion of classic Western and Asian cuisines, the restaurant offers one of the most incredible glatt kosher meats in New York. The ribeye steak (bone-in) of Wagyu beef is the best one in the menu, my favorite. It comes with a great side of bone marrow, perfectly prepared. Unfortunately, the chef has overcooked my ribeye steaks every time I have been there. Besides the meat, the restaurant offers an amazing kosher wine cellar, although it seems to lack any of the great Spanish kosher wines. I assume they avoid them because they are not mevushal--Spanish producers have a common-sense aversion to mevushal. I checked the wine menu, and all wines served at Reserve Cut are mevushal. The ambiance of the restaurant matches the quality of the food. Decoration is modern, stylish, fancy; luxurious. Location is incredible. I regret the rudeness of the service. Waiters and maître have no idea how to serve a restaurant of this quality. They need to learn from Europe and, certainly, the restaurants that Reserve Cut wants to emulate. Despite these objections, to this date, the restaurant is the best option for a gastronomical experience in kosher New York. Reserve Cut is excellent for every occasion: either business lunches or romantic dinners. We celebrate my wife's birthday last May. And prepare your wallet. Like most kosher restaurants in Manhattan, Reserve Cut is painfully overpriced. Yet, worth of it. read more
