An absolutely transcendent dining experience. The wagyu tartare and tomahawk were perfection. Service was impeccable without being intrusive.

The cocktail bar alone is worth the visit. Sofia's Smoked Old Fashioned is the best I've ever had. Atmosphere is pure luxury.

We celebrated our anniversary here and it exceeded every expectation. The private dining room, personalized menu, and attention to detail were extraordinary.

March 2026

Best steakhouse in Manhattan, period. The dry-aged ribeye with bone marrow butter is a religious experience.

Emma Richardson

Stunning interior, world-class food, and a wine list that rivals any Michelin restaurant. Reservations are hard to get for good reason.

From the moment you walk in, you feel the luxury. Every dish is a work of art. The molten lava cake is mandatory.
