For corporate events, business meetings and special occasions, often there's a trade-off between great location or great food. Not so at AJ Maxwell's Steakhouse. Besides being located in the heart of Midtown at historic Rockefeller Center and adjacent to the theater district, AJ Maxwell's is one of New York City's premier steakhouses and the only one in the city named to Tom Horan's America's Top 10 Steakhouses list.

Check your bill!
by aoa14 at Citysearch
My husband and I went here for a nice Saturday night dinner. The decor was nice -- formal but not stuffy. Hostess greeted and seated us promptly.
Waitstaff is gruff. Service is very casual. Not unfriendly, but rather aggressive New Yorker style. I did not find it charming. Felt like we were eating at a greasy burger joint rather than a nice restaurant.
The food was average. Definitely overpriced. Half bottle of Kendall Jackson was $35 (note: HALF bottle!). We've been to other steakhouses in the city that had much better food for the same price. My husband and I each got filet mignon. He likes medium rare and I like medium. We couldn't tell which one was which because our steaks were cooked rather unevenly. Carrot cake for dessert was rather dry and the frosting not very memorable.
The BIGGEST PROBLEM with the place is that they OVERCHARGED US ON THE BILL. They overcharged us for 2 items on the bill - the wine and salad (wine should have been $35 - charged us $40; salad should have been $11 - charged us $12). It appears they overcharge customers on a regular basis. The table next to us was also overcharged. They actually said something to their waiter. We figured it wasn't worth our time to point out that this restaurant was engaging in an extremely sketchy practice of systematically upping prices by small amounts on customers' bills.
Bottom Line: We will not be returning. And be warned: check your bill before paying to make sure you are charged the correct amount.
- Pros: nice decor
- Cons: overcharged on bill, gruff waitstaff, average food

FREE PARKING!!!
by theatregall at Citysearch
My husband and I were referred by a friend to visit this steakhouse. We are passionate about the theatre so we were looking for something close to our show. We were pleasantly suprised that they offer free parking at the garage next door. It was so convienent since we were going to the show and they allowed up to 6 hours for free. What a deal. I ordered the sesame tuna and my husband had a rib eye. I never saw a steak so big in my life. I was told that there rib eye is the biggest in the city almost 40 ounces. Holy Cow. We had a great time. Our waitress was a riot. We will definitly return and spread the word of the deal going on, where else in the city can you park for free? Amazing.
- Pros: Free parking, Great food! Huge tastey steaks.
- Cons: That we didnt find this place sooner.
