The steaks here are so tender and juicy. The atmosphere and the interior was quite classic though it’s located in a modern looking building. www.wolfgangssteakhouse.net

Great place for meeting old friends. The background music was so loud had to speak very loud as well. The food and the service were all so good. A bit pricy but was worth visiting when in New York. www.scarpettarestaurants.com
