212 Steakhouse

Came for lunch for a party of 3 and had the whole restaurant for our table. Everything was impeccable and spectacular. The service and close attention to detail were top notch. Our waiter was a pleasure to have and very professional. The food tastes just as good, if not better than it looks in the pictures. I HIGHLY recommend trying the Kobe if you haven’t yet, and the octopus. Both were truly other worldly and I was speechless. I did not want to swallow and just kept chewing! The creamed spinach and lobster Mac and cheese are delicious sides, not too heavy and just delectable. One nit pick is that the sides go cold very quickly which made the consistency thicker than I like. Will most definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Let me just say, the hostesses were very welcoming (which was a rare occurrence in NY). The table we sat at was placed on an awkward rising in the floor which made my chair keep slipping back and the table most uneven. The servers was subpar. They were not quick nor attentive. We had to call their attention several times to get drinks or refills. The main one seemed annoyed from introduction. The lobster bisque, was like broth with a fair amount of lobster- nothing to write home about. The steaks were delicious enough, could have done without the pound and a half of whole peppercorns on them (and in every dish)! The sides were so bland and tasteless. Very disappointing. The chicken should not be on the menu. It tasted like they brushed rosemary over the chicken and then prepared it. It was wildly upsetting. The spicy pasta was awful and undercooked. The best part was their oysters! That sauce was amazing. That was worth the buy.
It’s not a place that I would want to visit again when I come out here, but those oysters I would definitely recommend! Seeing all the TikTok recommendations, I’m thoroughly disappointed with the recommendation. Mediocre at best. Now what I’d expect for $718 bill. We left and had to pick something up to eat.

Phenomenal! You are paying a pretty penny especially for the Halal steaks but food and service were excellent.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at 212 Steakhouse in NYC for a quick birthday dinner with friends and was blown away by the experience. From start to finish, everything was top-notch, from the service to the food to the ambiance.

The standout dish of the night was undoubtedly the Australian Wagyu Dry-Aged Bone-In Ribeye 32 oz. for two. This was hands down the best tasting steak I've had in New York, and that's saying a lot. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection - juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The dry aging process really brought out the rich, beefy flavor of the meat, and the bone-in cut added an extra depth of flavor that made each bite even more delicious.

To accompany the steak, we ordered two sides - the Lobster Mac and Cheese and the Brussels Sprouts. Both were excellent, with the Lobster Mac and Cheese being particularly noteworthy. The cheesy, creamy goodness was elevated by the addition of chunks of succulent lobster meat, making it an indulgent and delicious treat.

The service at 212 Steakhouse was equally impressive, with attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff who were happy to make recommendations and answer any questions we had. Our water glasses were never empty, and our plates were cleared in a timely manner.

Overall, I would give 212 Steakhouse a five-star rating without hesitation. If you're looking for a truly exceptional steakhouse experience in NYC, this is the place to go.

Amazing! For a high end steak house i enjoyed the overall dining experience. Our server really helped us with recommendations on steaks good for two. I ordered the grilled octopus as appetizer, we then had the 3 oz kobe waygu steak and a dry aged ribeye steak with the truffle mash as a side. The grilled octopus was very tender and soft and flavorful. The kobe waygu was DELICIOUS it was quite an experience with the melting in your mouth. The truffle mash was perfect paired with the ribeye steak. I got everything medium rare and ended it off with the chocolate scouffle. our bill came out to 300$ after tip and tax. Definitely something to try once in awhile!

We have many halal options which are indicated on the menu. Halal food is cooked and prepared separately to non-Halal items.
