Monterey is an elevated steakhouse experience in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Rockefeller Center and the historic St Patrick's Cathedral. Enjoy classic steakhouse dishes with modern American touches, all served in a vibrant setting. Building on the best of the city's time-honored steakhouse tradition, Monterey's dusty pink banquets, crisp white tablecloths, and culinary theater evoke the golden age of New York City dining.

    Food was not good, service was slow and very overpriced. It took an hour and 15 minutes for our main meal to come out and we had to get to a Broadway show.

    Monterey is a no frills modern take on steakhouse + American fine dining. It was a nice to experience their prime rib (cut in front of you) and whiskey (bar men bring drinks with options). Our service had a bit of snafu on orders (wrong desert and a side option) but the friendly waitressing service more than made up for it. It’s a low key good option for both people visiting NYC for the first time and residents alike. Will definitely revisit.

    The meal was fantastic! We arrived a little early and our table was ready. We were seated right away and everything continued to go smoothly after that. Almost everyone had something different to eat and everyone really enjoyed their meal. The Cosmos are great too!
