  Happy hour here is one of my favorites, with the price you pay for the food you get making it more than worthwhile. The restaurant is pretty large with a lot of seating, but can get pretty busy during peak hours so plan/reserve ahead. Just don't expect the most luxurious or top quality of meats (although they do offer some A5 wagyu on the menu).

  Always amazing but sometimes hard to get a table since you can basically sit there all day grilling meats 😁. Fantastic fresh meats with a lot of options for cuts and marinades. The bar has an all day happy hour menu which is crucial, but remember only at the bar. I really like the grilling experience which makes for a fun social activity around your meal. I've always recommended this place for groups and celebrations because the larger the group the better the deal.

  I went here with a huge group for my birthday and had a blast. One of the most fun dining experiences in NYC. The food is fantastic and plentiful. Come hungry and ready to cook. Would highly recommend.

  The 6 person special is an amazing bang for the buck. Otherwise, everything was good, but not anything out of the ordinary. I was sort of expecting more for a place with a 1 week reservation waiting list, but honestly I really had no complaints. Food, drinks and service were all good.

  Been to the other two locations in Manhattan, this one seem to be the least clean out of the 3. Had a gnats or fruit fly constantly around the table. Table and booth wasn't wiped down well. Otherwise the food and drinks were good. Service was on point.
