Delicious food; generous portions; quiet atmosphere; excellent service: pricey but worth it

Good kosher steakhouse in the UN area. The staff is attentive and food and drinks are good. The ambiance is nice and upscale. My favorites are the chicken lolli pops and the chicken and waffle nuggets which are a game changer! read more

I booked a table on October 7th in the evening and got confirmation, however when arrived at the restaurant it was closed due to a holiday. It is very unfortunate the restaurant is not responsible enough to update their working hours so people don't show up to a closed restaurant having to change their plan last minute. read more

Came here on a Tuesday evening for restaurant week. When we walked in, we were surprised as we were the only ones there, however it was because the staff said it was a Jewish holiday. It is a fairly large very nice restaurant with very interesting Asian inspired decor. The staff was so friendly and was able to seat us immediately and were very attentive to all of our dining needs. They even gave us a complementary glass of champagne. As we ordered from the restaurant week menu, we were consistently surprised at how big the portions were as they did not skimp at all. The food was well seasoned and very good. We ordered the steak and it was charred to perfection, super tender with a great taste. The sauces that they gave us for the steak were also delicious. This is a kosher restaurant so in our meal, there was no dairy. We got to learn a little bit more about that from the lovely staff. Overall, it was a great experience and highly recommend! read more

We return again and again to this elegant gem for special occasions and fine dining. Thanks to manager extraordinaire Kenny, we were seated at a wonderful, window table. Bravo to waiter Florin for superb and personable service. Every dish is scrumptious. Our birthday celebration was magnificent. Kudos to the entire waitstaff and the chef. Highly recommend the UN Plaza Grill for all occasions! read more

I was there last night for a special event hosted by Israel Heritage Foundation featuring an exceptional guest speaker, military hero and patriot Joey Jones. The entire place was reserved; I had never been there as IHF used to hold events at Tabernacle which is nice but in a seedy neighborhood (West 36th). This place exceeded expectations; the food was sumptuous with so many varieties from sushi to smoked salmon to chicken marsala to dumplings to pita chips to barbecued chicken, never ending. The staff was highly attentive and cordial; service was impeccable, particularly from lovely bartender Laura! Atmosphere is very inviting with dim lighting above but bright enough to see what is on the plate, regal shades of purple and well appointed. Definitely the finest kosher cuisine in New York City! read more

*Restaurant Week Review* Kosher restaurants in nyc are notoriously expensive, so my friend and I chose to try UN Plaza Grill during Restaurant Week for a good deal. Participating restaurants for NYC Restaurant Week offer a 3-course prix fixe special menu for $59. The ambiance was definitely upscale dining, though the purple/blue pillars of lighting and tiger mural were kind of odd choices of decor imo. The place is large with two levels of dining areas, and the bathroom was really nice and clean. Our servers and the manager (I think) were kind and attentive. I have to say though that they were a bit TOO attentive, where I felt like my conversation was being disrupted every 5 minutes by one of the three employees who kept checking in on us. This is not a major complaint of course as I would rather be checked on too much than too little. We got started off with complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The bread was not good; it didn't taste fresh and had a huge air pocket that made me wonder why they thought it was a good idea to serve. Oh well, it's just bread. My friend and I shared appetizers, which to my surprise were really small. The were Lamb Samosas delicious but only 2 pieces, and the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice were sushi-esque and decent. We both ordered the Boneless Ribeye served with steak fries and a little bit of arugula. To our delight, the dish came with steak sauce and ketchup. They did a good job cooking the steak, though it lacked memorable flavor. The fries are steak frites style and were decent. For dessert, I got the Molten Chocolate Cake, and my friend got Tiramisu. For a Kosher restaurant (assuming dairy-free), the desserts were pretty good, though SMALL. I was actually shocked to see this almost munchkin-sized cake served. It did come with a mint leaf, vanilla ice cream, and beautiful finishing. The cake of the tiramisu was good, though the coffee elements were weak. Overall, I think it was a good deal for restaurant week, but overpriced on a regular day ESPECIALLY if the appetizer/dessert portions are the same. read more

WOW! I cannot stress what a wonderful experience myself and my guests had here the other night!! The hospitality was beyond amazing! The table side presentation was show-stopping! Kenny the GM was an exceptional host and the rest of the staff was so attentive as well! The food! My goodness the food! My guest said it was the best meal he's had in a long time! The steak fajitas were sizzling hot and so scrumptious! The steak melts in your mouth and the sauces are a must try! Don't skip out on anything here from drinks to dessert! The music and ambiance perfectly paired with the entire experience! We were sincerely floored by UN Plaza Grill! Cannot wait to come back soon! Thank you so much! read more

Honestly, the food was really, really good. We went for a friend's birthday during Restaurant Week. The Mushroom Soup was amazing, even though it wasn't served in the bread bowl during Restaurant Week, which is understandable. Everything was delicious, my favorite was actually the Apple Tart. So fresh with apples that were definitely sliced on premises. Amazing. What I didn't like, is that we overlooked the tip being built into our bill, and when we over tipped by $120, they just quietly let it go. We're good tippers, but this left a bad taste in my mouth... read more

we had a wonderful time here at the UN Plaza Grill. I ordered the steak fajitas with crispy sushi and they were all very flavorful and tasted amazing. I highly recommend getting the beef fajitas it came with a delicious guacamole and a wonderful side of salsa. I ordered extra hot sauce on the that's the way I like it the clientele was very nice. The ambience was beautiful. Our waiter was very sweet and everything we needed they brought for us, couldn't recommend them anymore. read more

Great food, great service, good ambiance. Ordered a medium rare and medium steak. Both cooked to perfection. Usually there is something to complain about but I have nothing negative to say. We are very happy with our dinner. read more

Very nice place for bussines meetings or even couples. Food was good and stuff friendly

I really wanted to like this place but it was so disappointing! The filet was inedible & it was $75! What a disgrace. I ate none of it & no one even cared to ask why. The side French fries were stale, the side veggies were tasteless previously frozen variety, overall do not come here! We all left unsatisfied. Steep prices for horrible food, which is sad because the people are nice. read more

***Restaurant Week*** Overall (3/5): A beautifully adorned dining room that doesn't have much to say with their food. Food (3/5): We tried a bunch of options, but most of us ordered the Plaza Burger which was good, nothing out of the ordinary. Atmosphere (4/5): Gorgeous dining room with a sprawling ceiling and an interesting tiger mural. Service was a bit scattered, but there were some staff in training the evening that we went. Uniqueness (2/5): Nothing that stood out. Value (3/5): Pricey for what you get. read more

Great spot! We started with a couple appetizers and then switched over to two 40 oz tomahawk steaks that give of of us split. The food was great, the setting was good (not too crowded), but the prices were very expensive and the service was a bit slow. Would definitely come back read more

I held a private party for 300 people at UN Plaza Grill and was thrilled with the location, food and staff. Kenny arranged a great menu, everything was delicious especially the Sushi, Sliders, Chicken lollipops & Potstickers. The staff was very professional and attentive. The bartenders are very friendly and made great drinks that they customized for the party. I usually don't post but I highly recommend them because of how happy and impressed I am. I would love to another party or event here read more

Overpriced. Food was tasteless Drinks were poorly mixed If you're going to get a drink w dinner, go for wine. At least you know what you're getting Truffle mushroom soup was good. Everything else was bland and lacking imagination Won't be back read more

​We were at the UN Plaza Grill for dinner for the restaurant week, on January 31, 2022. We ordered off the prix fixe menu. For the $59 per person you get a 3 good course meal. (keep this in mind when viewing) Everything was delicious! After coming in from the cold we each decided to have a Porcini and White Mushroom soup, with truffle oil and croutons. It was very flavorful, savory, and not at all too salty. We each ordered the center cut ribeye with hand cut fries. The steaks were done as we asked (medium) and they were juicy. For desserts, we ordered are tiramisu and a molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The drinks were extra but well worth it. Pictures of all this deliciousness are attached. The service was excellent, and they even brought out a space heater. read more

The decor is beautiful, the service is excellent and the food and presentation are really good overall. However, the location is more of a "destination", and although it's one of few premium kosher restaurants in the city, it just doesn't make sense to me from a value perspective. We always end up spending around $130-150 a person here (i.e. on par with Reserve Cut) but the food is not all that amazing to justify these prices, in my humble opinion. Steaks are $65-75, appetizers are $25-30, and don't forget that most steaks do not come with any side dishes (other than a roasted tomato), so that's yet another upsell. In terms of appetizers, the chicken lollipops are great, and so are the BBQ rib tacos. Highly recommend them, as they are crunchy and delicious. We got a special of Mongolian beef, which was basically a stir fry but was a bit chewy (maybe sliced incorrectly?) I also got a Tiger sushi roll which was smothered in various sauces. I thought it was good, but my friend said that for a $30 roll it tasted fishy. The burger feels like the best overall dish here. It was apparently rated one of the top kosher burgers in the city and is made with wagyu beef I think. Steaks are excellent and felt like they were sous vide cooked, unlike Le Marais. Texture and meat were perfect. Sides of Mashed potatoes and eggplant were delicious, but again, probably not worth it from a financial perspective. Overall, it's good for a nice dinner but we came here on a Monday night and seemed to be only 25% full. Pricing just feels too high and maybe it's possible to throw some more low cost items in here, especially since rent on 1st Ave should be cheaper than 7th and 46th... read more

Enjoyed our meal last night. We had great appetizers - mini burger and steak tacos. Bottle of Jezreel wine and short rib sandwich. Mine was excellent but my kids said theirs were slightly burned. Salmon was excellent. Service was excellent and very helpful read more

Had a fun time and a wonderful dinner here last night. Came here with family to celebrate two birthdays and four mothers' days. We sat at two different tables since we arrived at different times. Some of the delicous foods we tried: Roasted Ox Tongue-In a delicious brown sauce over some wonderful mushrooms and peppery greens Wagyu Potstickers-Sesame, Scallions, Hoisin Glaze-ok Buffalo Chicken Tenders Toasted Coconut, Honey Mustard-we held the coconut. Was tasty.The kids loved this one. Roasted tomato soup-delicious, you could taste the fresh basil Cote de Boeuf 20oz Prime Ribeye Bone-In;-highlight of the dinner. It was repared perfectly crispy on the outside, melt in your mouth soft on the inside. Served with Bordelaise and Béarnaise sauces. My brother, JJ, was so pleased with his steak, he wanted me to try some before I ordered mine. It was so perfect that I ordered the same. He preferred the Bordelaise sauce, while my preference was for the Bearnaise. For side dishes (must be ordered separately) We had: Pomme Puree-tasty Roasted Wild Mushrooms-really delicious. I finished this dish without much sharing (lol) Pommes Frites- crispy on the outside, nicely seasoned Desserts: Tropical Vacherin Crispy Meringue, Coconut Sorbet, Mango Sorbet-My favorite dessert. Loved the meringue texture against the two sorbets. Perfect flavor and not too sweet. Classic French Beignet Vanilla, Caramel & Chocolate Sauce-The beignets were fresh, hot, could not stop eating these Maple Apple Confit Vol-Au-Vent Vanilla Bean Cream-beautiful presentation, and tasty Chocolate Triple Play Molten Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich, Chocolate Pot de Crème-brought with the birthday candle. I never got to photograph or taste this becaue it was finished before it could be passed to my side of the table! Peanut & Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream, Chocolate Ganache, Chocolate Crumbs-Everyone loved this one too. This is a perfect choice for a special occasion. Looking forward to returning. read more

Went to UN Grill during restaurant week. The soup and the tacos were delicious. The apple pie was great. The steak unfortunately was inedible. It was so tough that I couldn't cut it with a steak knife , nor could I eat it. They include a twenty percent service charge and then have a space for a tip. That's a little confusing read more

We had dinner here a couple of months ago. The food was really not that good (salads, soup, salmon and steak entree), so I don't understand the prices. The service is what I want to write about. When I asked for the menu, the waiter put his finger in my face and asked me to wait a min (just how rude is that!). He then served fries with dips. When my friend asked what they were, he knew what they were 2/3 (not a problem), but wished her good luck in a condescending manner instead of saying let me ask the chef and get back to you. He served the entrees and put the steak sauce on the opposite side of the table without telling us. We discovered on her last bite. When paying the check, my friend was gestured to come and meet the waiter, instead of the waiter handling the payment at the table. Who does that? Absurd! Some people seem to have excellent service here. We were treated with much below average service. Thank you, not coming back. read more

This was a last second reservation, and a phenomenal choice. Every single item was on point. For appetizers, I got the tongue, the osso bucco and the empenadas. Mains were the executive cut steak, and the wagyu burger. Dessert was chocolate triple play, and the peanut chocolate cream. My one comment was that the meat was overdone. I ordered medium rare, and it came medium, and the burger was ordered medium, and came well. The flavor was on point though... Ambiance was perfect, and pricing was great. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is unbelievable, i came in with my colleagues from work, beautiful ambiance right across UN, it was a crowded early dinner but we've been seated right away, for dinner we had tapaniaky wagyu ribs, pot stickers, lollipops made of chicken and mezze platter, and for main entree we all share like appetizers as well, all steaks, Delmonico, tomahawk amazing, so juicy and perfectly medium cooked as we requested. Manager i think his name is Kany or Kenny if i m not wrong and i apologize if i missed spelled, he checked on our table a few times, very charming guy and welcoming, server was great Andrey, he didn't missed anything, always being very attentive and friendly. Thank you guys and see you soon again. read more

For a special occasion - beautiful atmosphere and lively ambience. Dress nicely, I recommend. Service was ok - seemed rushed and somewhat abrupt. Food was good- not great. Steak arrived grilled to order. Spinach was a disappointment - watery consistency, no flavor- no one wanted to eat because looked so unappetizing. Fries were ok. The main courses were all adequate. Desserts were good- especially the donuts/beignets with 3 dipping sauces. A decent time but not rushing back. Also one of the most expensive kosher restaurants in the city. Not as good as the other kosher steak houses. read more
