But amid all this, one certainly must not overlook one of the most satisfying experiences that the Bay area has to offer -- the New York Steakhouse.
Conveniently located in the heart of Sheepshead Bay on Emmons Avenue, the New York Steakhouse offers an unforgettably elegant setting, exquisite dishes and wines, and first-class service. The overall dining experience is so phenomenal, an apt slogan – to go a step further from that of a well-known chain eatery -- would be: “When you’re here, you’re royalty.”
As you enter through the stained-glass door with wood trim, you suddenly leave New York; the graciously decorated steakhouse takes you to another place, a place that feels like the dining room of Queen of England herself.
Between the hand-stained copper ceilings, the mahogany walls, the subdued lighting, and the piano in combination with a fire place, the steakhouse surpassed all my expectations well before I even set eyes on the food!
But the best part was yet to come.
The service at the New York Steakhouse is stupendous. The wait staff is extremely attentive, catering to your every need but never disturbing or interrupting your meal.
Although the New York Steakhouse offers a private dinning room, perfect for intimate dinner, family gathering, or a corporate meeting, the restaurant is designed to provide ample space to the guests in the main dinning area. Forget sitting shoulder to shoulder next to your neighbor and having them lean over your plate – the spacious steakhouse can sit up to 300 people comfortably.
Besides the extravagant accommodations, New York Steakhouse also presents the perfect variety in both food and wine. The selections are not overwhelming or strangely named to the point of confusion; instead, the menus are precise and descriptive. Never will you be served a dish and wonder, “Did I really order this?”
The prime steaks served at New York Steakhouse are so mouth-watering, they give other steakhouses a run for their money. But aside from offering some of the finest steaks in New York, the steakhouse even outshines many seafood restaurants because of the extensive seafood assortment and superior quality.
Being a seafood enthusiast, I have tasted a wide variety of fish – the good, the bad, and the ugly. But the New York Steakhouse seafood doesn’t even fit into the category of “good,” – it’s in a class of excellence all by itself. The tuna tartar and the scallops over rice with shrimp are particularly worth trying – and returning for!
Along with appetizers and main courses, the restaurant also offers a great selection of delectable desserts and fine wines – all at good prices. So whether you’re dropping in for a light lunch, coming to have a marvelous dinner, or even stopping by for a midnight snack, the New York Steakhouse is well worth the visit.
The three-year-old steakhouse is not only a great addition to Brooklyn as one of the finest steakhouses; it’s among the highlights of Sheepshead Bay. With the alluring atmosphere, the conscientious wait staff, and the breathtaking cuisine, the New York Steakhouse is guaranteed to be one of the most amazing dinning experiences you’ve ever had.
