Reviews for Wollensky's Grill in New York, NY
Excellent food and service. They were able to fit us in at the last moment and provided amazing service. We had a shrimp... cocktail for an appetizer and a steak salad and a prime rib for dinner with grilled asparagus and waffle fries for sides. Wealso each had a glass of The Seeker for a drink.

Extremely disappointed with the service tonight. We felt nothing short of ignored by our server. The food was fantastic. Drinks... and conversation with the bartender on the restaurant side was the highlight of the evening. Our drinks were empty and ourcompleted dinner plates sat in front of us for thirty minutes once we finished. Being from NE we had high hopes. Food wasexcellent, service fell short at any price point.

I was looking for a good steak while visiting New York and I found it here. Service was great and the steak was cooked... perfectly. I recommend saving some room for the carrot cake as well! Read more
A culinary experience. We had the branzzino fried calamari and the lobster, and everything was perfect. The service was kind ... and quick. It is located in a beautiful Manhattan area. Read more
The service, atmosphere, and presentation was outstanding. The crab cake was very tasty and crusty. The Ceasar salad was one of... the best that I have ever tasted. My wife had the chicken. It was delicious and huge. I opted for the Riley and the sear andcrust was just as I expected, wonderful. Our side to share were the au gratin potatoes, not a fan. It could have been a badbatch. Overall it was a once in a lifetime experience for me. Read more
Exceptional. These guys certainly know their steak. Often not mentioned amongst the pantheon of 'best steakhouses in NY', but it... should be up there. Enjoyed the Porterhouse for two and an array of sides and desert. The decor and ambiance was great and thewaiter relaxed and amusing. Up there with one of the best steaks I have had. Read more
I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday. The porterhouse steak for 2 was fatty and juicy. ???? service was excellent and... I was treated like a star. The food was satisfying! Read more
Wow! What a tremendous disappointment from a place I’d really enjoyed before. Here’s the TLDR: service was haphazard, meal... was lacking flavor and just generally poorly executed, and the price (even by NYC steakhouse standards) was simply notjustified. More details for those interested: Made a reservation for dinner at Wollensky’s Grill with a friend this pastSaturday. We waited at the front for 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us, were finally told by a server that someonewould be right with us, then waited a few minutes longer before a host eventually seated us. (To be fair, the bar was prettycrowded when we walked in, but the wait time was definitely excessive and a sign of the lackluster dinner to come.) We wereseated in the extended dining room that’s been built off the side of the building. It’s fully connected to the bar and wellheated, so it’s by no means an outdoor dining enclosure, but the tables are really tight and it’s completely devoid of anyatmosphere. It’s a much quieter experience than eating in the main room with the bar - depending on your party this might bedesirable for you, but it’d be nice if they offered the choice (either when making the reservation on Open Table, or uponarriving). Our waiter was perfectly competent and nice, though I had a really excellent waiter last time I came in whichprobably altered my expectations of the level of service to expect here. We requested the full menu from the Smith &Wollensky’s dining room next door and ordered the Caesar salad, prime rib, bone in rib steak, hash browns, and creamedspinach, along with a bottle of Cabernet. The Caesar was spectacularly average. I mean it didn’t taste bad, but I could havemade the same thing with any of those generic grocery store boxed Caesar kits and a head of romaine for 1/4 of the price. Thetwo sides were probably the best part of the meal, and even those were a bit forgettable. The hash browns in particular werecrisped really well, but did Read more
