Our server Nelson was very friendly and attentive. I went with the ribeye special (A great deal), a lobster tail add-on and the truffle mac and cheese. The ribeye was cooked and seasoned perfectly with a wonderful char. The lobster tail was good and the mac and cheese was delicious. Would absolutely return. Thank you Nelson

First class. Think modern elegance with a friendly, welcoming staff. Not inexpensive, but the no tipping policy helps a lot. Cool bar to hang out in also. Highly recommended!

Hope everyone who celebrated had a most magical Christmas. Mine was just great and I'm not quite ready for the good times to end so I'm extending the holiday through this week and enjoying it all just a little while longer. In the meantime, entertainment artists from Korea's King Kong management agency recently got together to shoot this festive pictorial for High Cut magazine. That's some pretty people in elegant party wear. Enjoy your last week of 2011 and I will try to catch up with you all soon!

Old Homestead does a good work with the specifications of the steakhouse, including its own symbol and personality. The sirloin was professional perfectly and prepared perfectly. The Kobe beef burger was large and very excellent, and not overly rich.

OMG, this place's food is AMAZING. I can definitely see how it has lasted for so long. The roasted onion soup was missing something, but the 16oz Prime Steakhouse Burger (Rare)...O.M.G. Heavenly~!

i've been there twice, and i've been two more posh steakhouses in NYC. I really liked this one: The price is quite expansive honestly, so be ready to pay a bit a lot. But if you have at least 100-110 bucks per person to spend for a unique dinner experience, just go there and ask the waiter to help you order. The rest is happiness.

It's one of oldest and popular steak house in ny . Could wait even if u have reservations. It's located in meat packing district., Was in New York City and wanted to eat Kobe beef burger since they were one one of the first one to have it in there menu before it was popular . It's $41 but worth every penny . Being from India beef is not available most cities and if available it buffalo meat.

Good - but not great. I recently went to the Old Homestead Steak House for dinner with a friend. We did not have a reservation and were seated upstairs in the back room. Our table was acceptable, but there were certainly nicer ones available which were not reserved. The table next to us was literally 12 inches away so it was not extremely private.

I digress. Cocktails and wine were up to par, however the service was mediocre at best. We had to pour our own wine on several occasions, which never sits well with me, especially at this price point. I am not from NYC, however, I found it extremely odd that our wine was not decanted. I have been in the restaurant industry for over 15 years and would never bring a bottle of wine at the price we ordered to a table without decanting it. I was enjoying my cocktail when the wine arrived and the server actually asked if she should pour my wine. If you are not decanting it, then yes - the wine absolutely needed to breathe.

For appetizer, we shared Mozzarella Di Bufala & Tomato. This was quite fresh and tasteful. The tomatoes were ripened to perfection and it a generous portion.

For dinner, we each had a filet. Mine was cooked appropriately; blue, however, the second steak was ordered medium rare and was certainly on the rare side. This type of error should not occur at a restaurant of this standard.

Overall a good experience, but more privacy and more attentive and experienced staff in the fine dining industry would make a world of difference.

Satisfying. Grade: B+

Old Homestead does a good job with the standards of the steakhouse, adding its own mark and identity. The sirloin was seasoned nicely and cooked perfectly. The Kobe beef burger was huge and very good, and not overly rich. The creamed spinach was very flavorful but bit rich, so I couldn't enjoy as much as I'd wanted. Old Homestead's hash brown was crispy but not dripping with butter - excellent. As for seafood dishes, their shrimp stuffed with crabmeat was wonderful, and the sea bass was beautifully prepared, seared nicely and not at all dry. All in all, a wonderful meal.

FABULOUS. Old Homestead is one of the older steakhouses in Manhattan. It was fabulous years ago and still is. Worth every penny you will spend as you get great service, food and atmosphere.
Can't wait to go back.

Awesome!!. I ordered the 32 ounce Gotham Rib Steak on the bone. It was cooked perfectly to medium rare. One word, it was perfect! The sides of creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes were awesome. If you're looking to cap the meal off with a great wine, order the 2008 Sterling SVL. It's Massive! For a finisher try the Tokaji. It's one of the best desert wines out there. 96/100.

Burger Diamond Lunch $22!. I had the Burger Diamond Lunch Special for $22 and it was fantastic! It includes a Caesar Salad (very nice), Tater Tots (delicious), 3 Fabulous Burgers (Kobe, Filet Mignon and Sirloin) each with a different gourmet topping and a choice of wine or beer. I picked a Chardonnay which was very nice. The staff was friendly and courteous. This is my new favorite place to lunch!! And, I love the neighborhood. Lots of fun things to do. Try it!!

Quick, quick service. In and out in 1 hour and didn't feel rushed. Enormous steaks. Prime rib is enough to feed 3 people. All steaks needed salt. Even if you don't use catchup, try the house catchup -- it's got some heat and lots of flavor. Very, very noisy.

Great burgers and fries. Tried the Kobe and the bacon slab. Both huge. Both great. Fries are very nicely done as well. Pricey but hey, it's NYC. Definitely worth a visit.

Old Homestead. Whenever I visit New York City, I HAVE to eat steak here! I love their bone in rib-eye! Their jumbo shrimp cocktail is delicious! Also, their spicy ketchup is delicious! It adds the perfect punch to the meal, without being too spicy, but adding a zest to the meal in itself.

Garlic Bread. I don't think this place is worth how expensive it is BUT if you go here you absolutely must without a doubt order the garlic bread. I know it seems like an odd thing to favor at a steak house but I have vegetarian friends who go here just for this bread. Probably has a 1000 calories per piece but basically heaven in your mouth.

Kobe beef with caramelized onions and bacon. In fact, this restaurant was one of the first in America to serve Kobe beef.

Old Homestead Steakhouse in NYC offers a delightful experience with its inviting ambience, impeccable service, and delectable food. The atmosphere exudes classic charm, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The attentive staff adds to the overall positive impression, ensuring guests feel well taken care of throughout their visit. The menu boasts a selection of high-quality steaks, cooked to perfection, catering to discerning palates. However, it's worth noting that the price point is on the higher side, reflecting the premium quality of both the ingredients and the dining experience. If you're willing to indulge in a lavish steakhouse experience, Old Homestead delivers on all fronts, making it a noteworthy choice for special occasions.

A delicious bite of history. Good wine selections, outstanding french onion soup. My ribeye was perfectly cooked, went nicely with a baked potato and asparagus with hollandaise, and as full as I was, I was sad my steak was gone when i finished gnawing on the bone.

Very poor selection of champagne by the glass or half bottles. Proseco is not champagne. The chopped salad was perfect. Nicely tossed with dressing not drowned! Dry Aged sirloin for two was exceptional! Perfectly prepared. However, we ordered the sauce trio and they arrived cold as did the hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were "refrigerator" cold on the inside. Key Lime pie was excellent.

Dinner was delicious, the steak was cooked perfectly, the asparagus was still firm but without any stringy parts and the mashed potatoes were beautifully whipped. The creme brulee was perfect.

This place is a classic! Too bad I waited so long to come here. Food was excellent and considering prices today, it was fair for what you get. Sat in the library room which was nice and quiet until it fills up but it was still pleasant. I assume it's better upstairs than downstairs. I'll definitely go back.

My wife and I went here for dinner yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We’ve been before and really enjoyed the experience. This time was no different. The food was amazing and the staff was very attentive. We particularly enjoyed the yellowfin tuna sashimi, filet mignon with applewood smoked bacon, Mac and cheese with lobster, Old Homestead Martini, and crème brûlée. And we’re already looking forward to doing this again next year.

I was there to try the famous Gotham (pictures) on this very traditional / historical Steakhouse. I had the feeling that it took to long for the meat to come. Also felt that there was not enough salt, and after the 1st bites I had the impression it was over cooked. Digging a little deeper into the meat I found the particular part of the beef that was an absolute heaven. Closed my eyes to absolve the perfect combination of the char, the juices, the fat, and that mouthful was worth the whole experience. That spiritual experience made me reflect that the meet came on the right and proper time for a busy day, and necessary time to cook. Only the outer part of the mead was "overcooked" natural for the way it is prepared, nothing wrong there. also there was no problem with salt, its that I'm used to Brazilian meads, who have more salt. Yes, it is expensive. But it is worth it to go!

There is a credit card surcharge here. Everything here was nice, funny waiters, Henry and Jose; high quality steak nicely flavored, and nice good school decorations. We enjoyed everything here including the sides and drinks.

We just happened upon Old Homestead after getting into town and what a great surprise to find such a gem! The ambiance is just perfect for a bustling place and the waitstaff are just wonderful. George took care of us this evening and the recommendations and execution of the overall meal was impeccable. Everything on our plates just kept getting more delicious as we ate. We had the colossal shrimp to start and 4 apiece was too much but we made it through. My wife had the filet and lobster tale and I had the Barrel Cut Filet which were two of the best on the menu. Cremé brûlée and espresso for dessert capped off the meal perfectly. Would highly recommend Old Homestead Steakhouse to anyone!

This place is so consistently good. Definitely one of the best steakhouses in the city. And do not skip the crab cake or burger. Soooo juicy and tender.

Best steak we had in NY. The colossal shrimp to start was delicious, we shared a tomahawk steak between 3 (us being Brits so it was enough for 3!), and shared Mac and cheese, greens and fries on the side. Our bottle of red was also delicious - will be back when I’m next in NYC!

This was an amazing dining experience from start to finish. We started with some raw oysters which were so fresh and delicious. Our steaks were perfectly seared on the outside, seasoned beautifully and cooked exactly as we requested them, quite rare. The meat was so tender you barely had to cut it or chew it. We shared an order of truffle mac and cheese which was heavenly!! The meal was rounded out with a bottle of Chianti. The service was fabulous.

Very good food and service. We had cosmopolitans and cherry temples for drinks. To eat, we had the giant shrimp, baked clams, and sashimi. We also had a ribeye and a dry aged rib steak for two. For dessert we had the crème brûlée, sunday, and chocolate cake. Everything was excellent. I feel the chocolate cake could have used a little ice cream on the side. But it was all fantastic.

Our friends had recommended Old Homestead and we were not disappointed. Excellent steaks and superb cocktails- the best we have had in a long time. I had the ribeye and wife the filet- so good. Excellent service. Recommend reservation- it was packed on Saturday night. 😋😋
