Quality Meats

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first visit to this location, dining as a table of two. The restaurant was at roughly 65% capacity, creating a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. Service began a touch slowly, with about a 5–8 minute wait before our server arrived, though another staff member promptly provided water, allowing us time to settle in and explore the menu. I began with the Smokey Gimlet, a well-balanced cocktail that set the tone for the evening. For our appetizer, we chose the meatballs with gorgonzola sauce. The meatballs were tender and well-seasoned, while the sauce added a creamy richness without overpowering. For our main course, we ordered two 10oz filet mignons — one medium and one butterflied medium-well. Both were delivered at precisely the requested temperatures, a testament to the kitchen’s consistency. The accompaniments elevated the experience: house-made truffle butter that paired beautifully with the steaks, silky whipped potatoes, baby carrots with pecans offering a pleasant sweetness and crunch, a unique corn brûlée with subtle caramelization, and charred garlic broccoli that provided a smoky, savory counterpoint. We concluded with the toffee pudding cake, which arrived moist and indulgent, complemented by a luscious sauce that tied the dessert together seamlessly. The overall execution of the meal was exceptional. Our server mentioned that the chef prepares approximately 20,000 steaks annually, and the precision of our dishes reflected that expertise. From start to finish, this was a thoughtfully crafted dining experience, and one I would highly recommend.

Incredible meal! We had the porterhouse steak to share and some sides, our server was lovely and recommended the bacon, jalapeño and peanut butter starter which we were not convinced by but was almost as good as the steak!! We also were treated with the corn crème brulee for my birthday treat will definitely suggest to anyone wanting a high quality steak in nyc!!

Perfectly cooked and dry aged steaks, this place did not miss! The seafood tower had a great selection of fresh shellfish. The caviar and crème fraîche topped waffle chips were so delicious and rich, we especially enjoyed these and even ordered another for the table. The quality of the food and excellent service makes this restaurant a must try if you’re in New York

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Loved everything about this restaurant. For a steakhouse I think it is very casual, not at all stuffy. Caviar sliders were very good and being able to order by the piece allows you to try it and still have room for everything else. Tartare was very good. Mixed table side is a nice presentation but the tables are very small so it is a little cramped. Steak cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Its a very little thing but for me little things natter, there is a pepper mill and small bowl of salt on every table. That isn’t common lately and I think it’s a great touch especially at a steak house. The green goddess salad was okay. Nothing special. Wine selection is vast with many price points. The sommelier was very helpful. Overall a great dining experience and will definitely return.

Quality Meats lives up to its name—and then some. I quite literally rolled out of here in pure, steak-induced happiness. The space has that classic New York charm: cozy, dim, candlelit basement vibes with a bar upfront and two large dining areas that feel both intimate and lively. I went with wine (because… steak, obviously), while my friend started with a margarita that sadly tasted like a flat Sprite—she joined me on team wine soon after. They kick things off with warm bread rolls and a Caesar salad that perfectly sets the tone. For the main event, we split the prime porterhouse, carved by the “meat master,” and it was perfection—juicy, rich, and more than enough for three of us with sides. Speaking of sides… do not skip the corn crème brûlée. Sounds weird, tastes magical—you’ll wish you ordered two. Other standouts: Parmesan waffle fries, spicy Brussels sprouts, whipped potatoes, broccoli and cheese bites, and the Yorkshire creamed spinach. Dessert? Couldn’t do it. Not because I didn’t want to—just because my jeans said absolutely not. If you want a true New York steakhouse experience with sexy ambiance, solid service, and food that hits every craving, Quality Meats is the move.

We came sunday night for a friends bday dinner. We ordered a bunch of apps, sides and 6 steaks to share family style. Waiters were attentive and friendly. Must orders are the corn crème brûlée (more like a dessert), 28 day dry aged prime porterhouse, and spicy brussels sprouts. the yellowtail crudo and beef tartare were also pretty good. make sure you get the porterhouse medium rare, it’s delicious and tender, and goes so well with the home made steak sauce. The space is super old school and cool, love the decor. there’s 3 levels so lowkey a maze to find your table again if you are to leave for any reason. Definitely gets busy so a reservation is recommended esp with a larger party. The prices are on par with nyc steakhouses, but definitely on the expensive side but worth it for a nice occasion!

From the moment you walk in, the ambiance hits warm lighting, cozy but upscale energy, and that classic New York steakhouse charm with a modern twist. I started with a glass of white wine at the bar (10/10 vibes). The staff was so attentive and made me feel taken care of the entire evening. For dinner, I had the filet mignon cooked to absolute perfection juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The sides were unreal crispy brussels sprouts, creamy mac & cheese, and the most buttery dinner rolls. Everything looked and tasted amazing. Then came dessert… oh my God. The sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle was pure heaven sweet, rich, and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal.

Midtown, NYC Must-try: Filet Mignon + Sticky Toffee Pudding Perfect for: Date night, business dinner, or solo luxury dining moment

Quality Meats is amazing! The garlic bread appetizer was sprinkled with sea salt and rosemary, served with butter — soft, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The Steak Tartare was fresh and perfectly balanced; mix it with the seasoning and egg, spread on the crispy bread — so good. Their signature Baked Oysters were rich in flavor, with just a squeeze of lemon to cut through the cheese, making every bite delicious. The Dry Aged Porterhouse Steak for two (28-day dry-aged) was my first time trying dry-aged beef — the flavor was intense and locked in beautifully. Cooked to medium-rare, it was incredibly juicy and much better than regular fresh steaks. The Quality Potato, cheesy mashed potatoes topped with waffle-cut chips, was indulgent and creamy — exactly how I like it. Their wine selection is extensive, and the white wine I tried was excellent. The ambiance is also impressive — classy, cozy, perfect for dates, gatherings with friends, or business dinners. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a top-notch steakhouse on Manhattan Island.
