The Grill is such a special New York spot! The room is gorgeous, with the energy feeling modern and fun. Lighting is beautiful and the layout is spectacular. Service is outstanding. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the night feel seamless. The food was even better than expected. The steak was amazing, with the duck and tuna being a must order. The sides are all perfectly paired with whatever you order as a main. The whole experience, the atmosphere, the service, the food, makes it one of those places you’ll remember. If you’re looking for a true New York dining experience, The Grill is it.

As a chef, I love exploring unique flavors and this place is hands down one of my best experiences. As both a chef and a New Yorker, it definitely made my top 10 list! Chef’s recommendation you won’t regret it!

The Grill is a very Manhattan upscale power dinner type of place (fun to people watch), and we had a wonderful dining experience. The service was exceptional, as expected. The cocktail and wine menu is substantial, excellent martinis. Every dish we ordered was excellent. Of note, the crab cake starter was pure lump crab meat, pairs well with the complimentary fresh bread and butter. The Filet was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the Guinea Hen was different choice for me, I enjoyed it, very tender and flavorful. Next time I want to try the Prime Rib, it looked amazing on the trolley cart. The peanut butter chocolate for dessert was also great. Definitely an expensive dinner (even by Manhattan standards), but worth a visit, whether for a special occasion or just a nice night out. If you are unable to snag a reservation, the bar has ample seating, whether for just a drink or a full meal (dinner only).

If you’re looking for an old school, upscale restaurant in Manhattan. Please look no further. The food, environment, and service is unmatched. Be sure to dress somewhat “formally” so you look nice as you enjoy some of the best people watching in the city. You will remember your visit! And ask for Paul, he’s a fun and attentive waiter.

Finally got to try the prime rib at the grill! It did not disappoint. Prob right up there with keens and Bowery meat company. The steaks and sides were also great. What you’ll remember is the guy using the manual grinder to press fresh jus for the pasta dish which was amazing. The vibe is pretty finance bro centric as expected for the location. Not much to complain about here it deserves a top 10 spot in your steakhouse playbook but the steak is what I remembered least. Verdict: probably not but worth the try.

We celebrated our first family reunion in New York here, and it was absolutely beautiful with such an upscale vibe! The food was fabulous — we ordered salads, crab cakes, vegetables, and two prime ribs (perfect size for four). By default, all prime ribs are cooked to a perfect medium rare, and they even served ours halved — just right for sharing! We started with cocktails and ended with wine and dessert cakes, which made the evening even more special. From the moment we entered to the time we left, the service and atmosphere felt like stepping into another world. Pricing is on the higher end — easily $200+ per person — but for the quality and experience, it feels well worth it. As for the dress code, it shouldn’t be a problem — just avoid shorts and athletic wear. Clean, upscale casual is perfectly fine, though you’ll also see people dressed very elegantly. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!

We absolutely loved our experience at the grill. We enjoyed the crab gumbo as our starter. The prime rib and lobster were both standouts however all the dishes were really good. The banana foster flambe was such a fun dessert to watch at table side and was absolutely divine to end the meal with.

This is a fancy and upscale place. Service was excellent. Prime rib was not as flavorful as Smith & Wollensky. The higher priced menu is for the service. The place is spacious. The service was at comfortable pace. In comparison, Smith & Wollensky was tight and rushed. House of Prime Rib in San Francisco is still on the top of the list for me for the flavor of the prime rib.
