Best Steakhouse (Tristate area)

[DaiDaiLun]

Just love steak... I guess not really good for people with the rich man disease (gout) and clotted up artery...but you only live once (maybe twice for some of you).

Any ways, here are some of my favorite steakhouses

1- The Palm on 2nd ave in the 50s
2- Angelo & Maxis on Park ave and 19th st.
3- Smith & Wollensky's E. 40s

Bit overrated:
1- Peter Luger in williamsburg
2- Nick & Stefs at MSG

Best steak:

1. Luger
2. Spark's (for sirloin)
3. Wolfgang's

Most overrated has to be Christos (sp) in Astoria. No matter how rare you ask them to cook the porterhouse, it's overcooked. Apparently that's how Greeks like their steak. They should have a warning sign at the door for the rest of the sensible world that likes quality meat rare. Avoid.

Been at Cristo's Taverna a few times, never had a problem with my steak.


Jacks in Bayside.... underrated.

They used a special marinade.

Had a steak at Dylan Prime restaurant a few years ago. It is downtown on Laight street.
Excellent steak and very cool decor. It is not the usual steakhouse but it is worth a trip.

Ozzy's right on with Uncle Jack's on Bell Blvd in Bayside. Small place, but everything was great. I had the Kobe beef, unbelievable.

Uncle Jack's is not only one of the best underated steak houses in NY, until recently it was also a great cigar bar.

Another great place......Bryant & Cooper in Roslyn

 

[Mr. Wet Wooly]

You fellows know of a steakhouse in the city that accomodates cigar smoking somehow?

 

[robnotbob]

Go to the Grand Havana Room (with a member). Not a bad place to eat.

I guess because I wasn't expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised at gallagher's. Certianly not in the top ten though.

 

[Mr. Wet Wooly]

What's the criteria? The steakhouse with the best steak or the steakhouse with the best environment, other food, etc.

The best steak I've had is the porterhouse at Luger's in Williamsburg, but it's a pretty barren setting. Also, the burger, available only on the lunch menu, is outstanding. The best I've had in the city.

The chains like Ruth's Chris, Woolies, etc. are good but they don't compare.
