My boyfriend took me here for my birthday last night. I love the traditional steakhouse look! We shared a bottle of wine, caesar salad, each had the filet mignon (which I didn't ask how many ounces it was, but realized when they came out that we could've shared), with two sides and we were stuffed! I didn't want to have to carry anything as we were going out after, but wanted to save room for dessert. So ended up taking some of the steak home. Little did I know that they came out with a complimentary slice of cheesecake with Happy Birthday written on the plate. I did not know that was going to happen as I only asked for the weekend to be low key. We got there early and definitely packed out...
The epitome of old school New York steakhouses. What this boils down to is steak, and the verdict is simple: the steak is breathtakingly good. Beautiful cuts of the highest quality meat, seasoned and cooked exactly right. The sides are good, the deserts are terrific especially the cheesecake of course. The waiters are friendly and helpful and reassuringly of a type. The decor is fabulous. You even have the history of a genimob hit. The wine list is impeccable, though it ranges from expensive you won't pay under $100 for a bottle to the take out a mortgage eye watering $8000+ . But is comes down to the steak and the steak is outstanding.
I had a spectacular lunch! It was my first time back since the pandemic, and everything was simply perfect. The champagne split was served icy cold, which was delightful. I really enjoyed the special mixed vegetable salad, featuring asparagus, broccoli, and spinach. The Chilean Seabass was cooked to perfection, and the prime sirloin steak was both delicious and expertly prepared. Our side of steamed broccoli was amazing and came on a heated plate, which was a nice touch! The service was incredibly attentive throughout our meal. To top it all off, the pecan pie was absolutely fantastic. Sparks has consistently delivered on its promises!
Sparks is one of my favorite restaurants however, the food was lack luster this time. Although we ordered seafood, a steak house is notorious for doing steak as well as the seafood. The appetizer of lump crab and scallops was underwhelming- the crab was good but the scallops were barely ok. Wasn’t sure if it was supposed to hot or cold- was in between. The fish was hot, I had sole and my fiancé had Salmen, which he enjoyed. All the food was under seasoned and again, just ok. I absolutely love Sparks, was there to celebrate my birthday but for what we paid, I was very disappointed.

Our family had a wonderful dining experience. It was a traditional old school NY steakhouse. The food and service was exceptional. We enjoyed the Shrimp and Crab Cocktails, Raw Oysters and Ceasars Salad as appetizers. The restaurant was very accomodating allowing us to share steak and fish entrees to create our own surf and turf plates. The kitchen actually split entrees for us- the servings were perfect allowing us to enjoy both the steak and fish options. Portions are large! It was truly a rewarding experience, one that I would highly recommend.
The only eat I can describe my filet is to say it was creamy like butter. The saltiness and moisture of heartiness with a touch of power. It was not just a dining experience it was rejuvenating my personal strength. I ate steak not to eat it but here I experienced the strength and power of the cow transferred to me. It was a spiritual experience as well dining. I felt the genetic history of a hunter and the pleasure of consuming what I had killed. It was a connection to my primordial self!!
Wife had the Filet. I had the Prime Sirloin. Both were cooked to perfection. Sides were outstanding. And service is still the best in town. Shame to see people walking in in t shirts and baseball caps. Wanted to ask them what time was the ball game but wife requested no trouble.
I've never had a bad meal here, and the service is outstanding! We always make sure to dine here during our trips to NYC.
