10. Eileen's Special Cheesecake
Overall Ratings
4 based on 2015 reviews
Eileen's Special Cheesecake opened for business in December, 1975, and arrived in lower Manhattan on December 4, 1976. It was a "ghost town" when I first arrived, but that didn't bother me because the rent was low and I desperately needed a place to bake

I love cheesecake and this place was recommended. I ventured down and I was not disappointed. The cake is delicious and light. Just perfect. The cannoli are also good. I'd highly recommend going here if you want to try some proper New York cheesecake.

The bagels were fantastic! The fillings too! They let me taste test a few before I decided. I ultimately went with Chipotle avocado on everything & blueberry on plain. I wasnt disappointed! Only wish I had more room for more goodies.

My family and I had reservations for 7:45. We arrived and were promptly seated. The hostess was professional and friendly as was the waitstaff. We ordered an appetizer of Beefsteak Tomatoes and Onions. I actually prefer my tomatoes and onions sliced a bit thinner however they were good and fresh. My husband ordered a NY Strip and I ordered the Bone in Ribeye. Along with our 5 year old daughter we ordered Mac n Cheese and Creamed Spinach to share. Everything came out sizzling hot. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and very well seasoned. We didnât need or did we use the house made steak sauce. Sides were equally wonderful. Even our daughter (that hardly eats meat) loved the steaks and said she couldnât choose which tasted better because they were both delicious. Price is on the expensive side with steaks averaging about $62 each and sides about $18 each however it was sooooo worth it.

As residents of The Roxy hotel we ate both dinner & breakfast at the Roxy Lounge. Dinner was lovely - i ate hummus & vegetable crudités & had several of the Roxy cocktail. Breakfast - bagels & cream cheese were divine!! The atmosphere in the Lounge is wonderful - there is always music - either live pianist, jazz group or a singer.Such a great place. Highly recommended.

Surprised there were so few decent breakfast/brunch places in Midtown. Went by Johnâs and had a great time. Good typical diner experience. Food was fair to good. Eggs are (not sure why) very good. Fresh OJ! Decent sausage links. Smaller place but very efficient. Worth a visit!

Nice friendly restaurant providing very good steaks, the Filet Mignon was superb. The whole experience was good until payment time. Unfortunately the experience was ruined to some extent by a waiter who chose to overcharge an item on the bill &, instead of discreetly apologising & removing the overcharge, took the option to loudly & repeatedly 'argue his case' in front of all the diners. Regretably the Management, who where in earshot, chose to ignore the issue until we asked the waiter to call the Manager to our table - only then did they remove the overcharge from the bill.As stated above - good food but I would suggest that all potential diners keep an eye on their bills. Scoring would have been higher if the overcharge incident had been dealt with properly.

My wife and I visited Club A Steakhouse on a recent couple's visit to NYC. The rating on TripAdvisor got our attention (it was #1 in NYC at the time) and Bruno's story is an interesting one. The atmosphere is fantastic! They use fine details like real candles at every table and have a live two-string and saxophone band playing soft Jazz most of the time during dinner. Sets a great mood.We had salads to start and they were very good but not really exceptional. No complaints though.After the salads, and unsolicited, the chef provided a mushroom ravioli appetizer that was very good.Between this and the main course, there was a rather long wait. But we were chatting and enjoying the music.Then came the steaks and sides, we both had filet mignon and we got mac and cheese and mushrooms. The steaks were very well done with an excellent char on the outside and proper temperature inside.After the main course, again unsolicited, we were offered a variety of desserts. Tiramisu, chocolate cake and beignets. They were all good.All considered the meal was great. The only blemish being the long wait between the appetizer and the main course. The atmosphere is top-notch and the food is well above average.Great work Bruno!Hi Cbeard,Thank you for your kind review and I appreciate you choosing to eat at Club A while on a trip to NYC! I am happy you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again. Bruno

Weâve enjoyed this place on our last 2 visits to NYC. Of course the steaks are superb but perhaps surprisingly for a âsteak houseâ so is the seafood. Waitstaff was very professional,helpful with the ordering process, and offered the perfect level of attention. On this latest visit we were very happy with chateaubriand for 2 but noticed the table next to us was enjoying wonderful looking seafood. Conveniently located a few blocks from Times Square. Dear Charles,We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our establishment and sharing your dining experience. It is a true delight to hear your high praise. Here at Empire Steak House, our guests receive the outmost attention they deserve. We are glad to hear the Chateaubriand was up to your liking. We take pride in the way we prepare and serve food, and steak has always been our specialty. Thank you for your note on the seafood, as we make sure it is always the freshest available from some of the best seafood purveyors in the city, so thank you for appreciating what we do best here.
