by Audry Shabala on Staying in the meat paking district at the Hotel Gansevoort lead us to this place. Because we were there on a Sunday night after a really big snow storm and there were not many people in the restaurant, we did not experience the long waits and the crowded atmosphere many other reviews discussed. I really enjoyed this place. I am NOT a steak house fan and I generally find them very bad. However, this place was really nice. I had a strip steak with the Bold STK sauce. It was delicious. I picked a 16 oz. steak which was way too big for me but it was great. It was cooked perfect (medium rare). We ordered the corn pudding and the brussel sprouts. I loved both of them. The corn pudding was quite rich and you can't each much of it. However, the salad I had was the highlight of the night. I had a beet salad with a yogurt and corriander sauce. The corriander was a pleasant surprise and a good compliment to the beets. The only down side was that the waiter was not familiar with the wine list and did not know anything about the wines. For such an expensive restaurant, I expected more. Go there on a night when there are not many crowds and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
