Restaurant Review: Desmond’s Steakhouse & Grill

by Desha Winborne March 22, 2013

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 515 Seventh Avenue

Cuisine: American/French Steakhouse

Items: 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 desserts 2 cocktails.

Cost: $195 with 20% tip

Best Dish: The steak is by far the best I have had in a long while. It was thick but tender and moist. The béarnaise sauce really complimented the hearty beef. A close second is the seafood offering. For the price, it is a beautiful and filling dining experience.

Overall: You may visit Desmond’s for their amazing food but you will return for their first class service. The attentive staff treats everyone like a VIP.

ANTOJERIA LA POPULAR1

Location: 50 SPRING STREET NOLITA | NEW YORK CITY (BETWEEN MULBERRY & LAFAYETTE STREETS)

Cuisine: Mexican Tapas (Small plates)

Items: 7 plates, 4 glasses of Sangria

Cost: with 20% tip

Best Dish: For a wow factor try the toasted crickets. The surprising taste and texture are a great talking point and make for a fab dining experience. If you’re not quite so adventurous give the Zacatecas a try, you simply can not go wrong with savory sirloin and gooey melty cheese.

It’s called Toshi’s Living Room, the Flatiron Hotel’s newest live music venue bar and restaurant. Owned by hotelier Robert “Toshi” Chan, the cozy living room exudes a effervescent ambiance and extensive food prepared by Lavanderos, a Mexican-born chef and a graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City and exquisite cocktail menu.
