The Scene
The handsome, simply appointed dining room has a circus-like atmosphere, with lots of "oohs" and "aahs," clanging of silverware and waiters who relish in talking up the different cuts of beef.

The Food
When you're ready, green-light the expert cutters by flipping the small disc at your place setting, and you're presented with rounds of pork ribs, short ribs, rib-eye, sirloin, flank steak, brisket, top round, special top round, chicken legs, sausage, pork loin, lamb and the oft-overlooked fish of the day. Most of the beef is nicely charred, teasingly salty and medium roasted so the slices are pink and moist. The poultry and pork loins are flavorful, and pork sausages remain juicy beneath a crisp exterior.

Food was good for the first hour but then you eat yourself into a steak hang over! Wayyyy too over priced for something that will put you out of commission for a week.

Really filling and high quality meats. Flip the red to green and the waiters will come over and cut fantastic meat over your plate. Good for parties but also pricey. They also have a great seafood buffet and salad buffet as well. Drinks are expensive but I think you can get a group deal for a cheaper then eating with one person. Which brings me to the next point it is not the type of place you bring a date. But I recommend it for sure.

I've been in their kitchen, it's IMMACULATELY clean. It's one of the only places in NY whose kitchen I have been in and wouldn't hesitate for a second to eat there. The food is some of the best I have eaten, the atmosphere in the dining area is amazing. Take a few moments looking up from your plate at the cieling. The service and settings... All top notch.
