Porter House Bar and Grill

"Most of New York’s great steakhouses are housed in dim, wood-paneled rooms designed to make you feel like you’re playing an elaborate game of D&D, but Porterhouse NYC turns that trope on its head. Here, you eat your red meat atop the ivory tower of the Time Warner Center, in an elegant, airy space overlooking Central Park. At $180, the porterhouse here is one of the priciest in the city, but it’s cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and comes with an unparalleled view. At lunch, you can get a three-course $49 steak frites situation that’s easily the best steakhouse lunch deal in this part of town. If you’re ordering a la carte, you’re morally obligated to get the ice cream sundae, which comes with brownies, cherries, and hot fudge.

"Michael Lomonaco’s steakhouse remains a reliably upscale option for a bite before Jazz at Lincoln Center upstairs. The menu features steakhouse staples like thick slab bacon, crab cakes, and dry-aged cuts, as well as fancy Lomonaco-esque touches like butter poached lobster. More expensive wagyu steaks are also available. Walk-ins can swing by the bar for a full menu." - Ryan Sutton

"Most of New York’s great steakhouses are housed in dim, wood-paneled rooms designed to make you feel like you’re playing an elaborate game of D&D, but this spot in the Deutsche Bank Center turns that trope on its head. Here, you eat your red meat in an elegant, airy space overlooking Central Park. At $180, the porterhouse here is one of the priciest in the city, but it’s cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and comes with an unparalleled view. At the end of your meal, you’re obligated to get the ice cream sundae. " - bryan kim, sonal shah, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus

"This is a steakhouse in the moneyed Time Warner Center after all, so deals here are going down almost as quickly as those bottles of Château Margaux. Still, this isn’t a suits-only haunt; in fact, the intuitive service makes everyone feel like a bigwig. And the Central Park views are worthy of the price tag alone.The food is straightforward, featuring crab cakes with horseradish-mustard sauce and charred cowboy rib steak. But, don’t shy away from other equally surprising items, including sweet, slightly al dente corn bathed with a delightfully rich and creamy sauce. South Carolina coconut cake is one fluffy layer after another topped with a smooth and not-too-sweet icing as well as a heap of shaved coconut for just the right bit of crunch." - Michelin Inspector
