Strip House

Strip House offers a luxurious setting for their luxurious steaks: siren-red wallpaper with silhouettes of nymphettes, framed celebrity photographs, white-jacket waiter service, and some of the finest steaks you'll find in New York. Appetizers are all-around great, in particular the lobster bisque with red pepper ravioli, crisp Caesar salad, Clams Casino, vine-ripened tomato salad or a delightful shared seafood plateau for the table. Steaks are cooked to perfection, in particular the New York Strip, the bone-in Rib Eye, and (when available) the stupendous Porterhouse for two, carved at the table. Artfully served with a medley of grilled vegetables such as leeks, fennel, and a half-head of garlic, the Porterhouse in particular is perhaps the best in New York, not to be missed. The side dishes complement a fine steak or lobster, and we especially enjoy the creamed spinach and truly superb crisp goose fat potatoes. The wine list is well-organized, and offers a great selection for a variety of budgets, and the management is always eager to help make an ideal selection to match your palates and food order. We also don't mind the absence of attitude that seems to permeate other top steakhouses; even when dressed in your less spectacular attire, you will be treated like royalty at the Strip House.
