What People Are Saying About Craft Steak
The Editor
Erin Behan
Citysearch
Chef Tom Colicchio's corner spot on 10th Avenue's restaurant row has a mostly male crowd who can be found reposing in the open lounge or knocking back strong cocktails at the lengthy bar. A two-story glass wine tower separates the dining area, a sprawling, high-ceilinged space where butter-colored banquettes are the best seats in the house. Which of the 20 steaks to get depends largely on budget (sizeable cuts of Wagyu can balloon past $100), but there is also plenty else on the menu to admire like the excellent raw bar and farm-fresh veggie selection.

Most people look up to you to be honest in your opinions, allot of you seem to be uppies who expect the world maybe justifiably so but you go a little overboard. You don't go to Craftsteak for a glass of wine so don't review wine prices, sure it adds to the "over all experience" but lets talk Steak, others seem to think its where God eats, you obviously work there or dined on a Wednesday. For an over all experience go to Outback, they have a worldwide reputation to uphold and the price cant be beat or even Ruth Chris since you want to throw around money. Craftsteak seems to me that they are famous in town and so they can act accordingly, such as pale service, cold food hey your at Craftsteak Right! You want a steak, come to Japan Kobe beef is to me in a tie with black-angus tenderloin as far as perfection and you don't need 4 different sauces to get past the gamy taste your probably going to get at Craftsteak Also your evening is going to be decided on the date you choose to go, go on a Saturday night = plan for the best expect the worst, Tuesday night less hassle, better service, better food Hey the place is average at best, and didn't seem to think they had to earn my loyalty hence I only went twice, yes Sat and Tues which justifies this across the board rating of Average Boomer Sooner

I read some of the reviews here and thought they might have been just exaggerations or picky people - but this place is just a culinary mugging. The prices are expensive even by Manhattan standards and the food is just plain awfull. The steaks – their claim to fame – where TERRIBLE. I could have had better food at Outbacks – and gotten free refills on my Sprite. I went there with two friends and we agreed that this place is all name and no food or service. We regularly flip through our Zagats and choose high end places to enjoy a good meal – so as a baseline I think we know what we are talking about. The steaks were tasteless, the sides arrived cold or all beat up (did someone bump the waiter on his way out of the kitchen?) and the service – well, if you come to be alone with a date this place is for you! You would think with all the reviews saying the service is so bad – managers would replace all the wait staff with mannequins and save on salaries. When you see reviews like ‘yum, yum’ you know that is a poor bus boy at the place that was told during a break to fill out a good review to keep his job. Why is this place still open? How long is their lease?

The Extras:
A private room can be reserved for larger parties. Call for details.
Know Before You Go:
Vegetarians can create a hearty meal from fresh salads, a lovely al dente risotto, various potato sides, and those greenmarket vegetables.
What to Drink:
The wine list will please the connoisseur, but mix things up and pair draft beer with your steak. The local Sixpoint Grand Crue or Smutty Nose IPA stand up to the rich flavors and high-end cuts.
