When it comes to the best steakhouse in New York City, everyone has their favorite go to spot. Some say Delmonico's in the Financial District, the oldest steakhouse in America and also the first ever fine dining restaurant in America, is the best steak in NYC. Others say it's Old Homestead Steakhouse, also one of the oldest steakhouses in NYC and one of the oldest steakhouses in America. Others more will say Keens Steakhouse is the best steak due to its history and its taste, while some others will say Peter Luger Steak House or Gallaghers Steakhouse are King of New York for steak. One name though that consistently arises to the top of the list, however, is Smith & Wollensky. Smith and Wollensky is one of the newer iconic steakhouses in New York, being founded in 1977, which is much more recent than some other names mentioned above, some of which were founded in the 1800s. However, Smith & Wollensky has a very loyal following and the Smith & Wollensky NYC location is frequently mentioned on lists of the best steak in Manhattan and the best steak in New York City if not the best steak in America. The restaurant has become so popular it even opened several new locations including a Smith & Wollensky Las Vegas location! The Smith & Wollensky architecture alone is stunning, but we will be reviewing the famous Smith & Wollensky cajun ribeye steak and the Smith & Wollensky filet mignon to see if this steakhouse is all it's cracked up to be!

I've been to all you've mentioned, plus a bunch more. My favorite is Keens, but a very close 2nd is Del Friscos. I know Double Eagle has restaurants around America and is a chain, but I've found the Del Frisco's steak house on 49th St. (But not the grill in Rockefeller Center) to be right up there with Keens. I'm not suggesting the other Double Eagles in other Cities are that good as I've only eaten at the DE's in DC, Houston and Philly. But the one in NY is consistently top rate. Also the slab bacon at Keens is incredibly good.
