Rothmann's Steakhouse

05/27/2008 Posted by rachelmar

Overpriced, noisey atmosphere, very dark, no leg room and it ruined my weekend. I wont ever go back agian, never and i hope that you guys wont too. I hate this place so much, ruined my weekend, it seriously did.

A friend and I had dinner here last night. It was the first visit for both of us. We found all of the staff very friendly and attentive. The seating was comfortable, the atmosphere and surroundings were very pleasant. We each started with an appetizer. My Shrimp Wilson was fine but her Hot Chili Tuna Tartare was very good. We each ordered the Bone-In Rib Steak. Both came cooked as ordered (rare and medium-rare). These were outstanding...truely beautiful! My mouth is watering just writing about them. The wine list is extensive. Wine is not my thing but she was very impressed. The sommelier was friendly enough but seemed a bit overwhelmed. He did, however, look for and find what she was looking for. I would highly recommend Rothmann's. A great dining experience without any of the attitude.

Pros: Great steak!

Cons: A little pricey.

This is a great mid-town steakhouse and I eat here often as I work in Midtown. Great Steaks, as good as the Palm, and great atmosphere with outside tables in good weather. Also sweet potato fries, my favorite!! and chocolate souffle is out of this world!!! Absolutely 5 stars!!!

Pros: Steak, Atmosphere, Desserts!!

Cons: Absolutely Nothing negative about Rothmann's

There is nothing lacking from this establishment other than the stuffiness that comes with an established name in the market. The staff are very attentive, the wine list is extraordinary (allowing for all wallet sizes from the 30$ to the 2000$ bottle), the sides are great and can serve a small party, the steaks...oh the steaks! Thier sommelier is knowledgeable, as are the waitors. The bar is a great "networking" location. The decor is a modern take on the traditional steakhouse. Rothmann's is pleasing in every aspect! As a side note, just down the block you can find (since NY is a non-smoking city anymore) a Davidoff of Geneva to get your after dinner smoke (which you might want to do early before they close). It is just off of 5th Ave.

Pros: extensive wine list, smart/attentive staff, location

I have to admit Ive been to alot of steakhouses and Rothmann's I can say is one of the best Steakhouses I've been to. The steak is excellent, the service is outstanding, and the wine list is neverending. But overall the staff, management, cooks, and everyone else has attended to all of my needs except rubbing my feet. So I highly recommend this steakhouse to all.

Pros: Steak, Service, Lots and lots of Wine

Cons: A bit pricey

We stopped here on a whim while walking around NYC. The staff were courteous, the atmosphere was pleasant, and most of all, the food was FANTASTIC! The portions were a little gigantic (I can't eat a 16oz steak on a good day!), but other than that, excellent. Oh, and an excellent Cosmo.

Pros: Good food, Nice staff, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

This place has good steak. If you tried all the other steak houses in the city and want to add another one to the list of top steakhouses, I recommend it. However service was a bit disappointing. It didn't run evenly with ambience and food quality. I would first make sure you've been to Ruth Chris, Lugers, Angelo & Maxies, Bobby vans, S & W, the Palm & Mortons first. I think Rothmans rates along the lines of Old Homestead, Nick & Stefs, & the Post house. I still need to try Sparks & Dylan Prime.

I love this place....you are all crazy. The steak rocks and the sides are great. All cuts, creamed spinach, potato croquettes and wine galore! Sides are important to me when eating a steak!

Pros: seafood platter, poterhouse

Cons: $$

Food was tasty, but nothing extraordinary...When the check came, they almost needed to give me oxygen- $300 for 4 and that was just basic dinner and a drink apiece. I had the crabcakes- decent, but on the dry side and a little burned. 2 of my dinner companions had steak which they reported to be very good and my other friend had sea bass, which she said was extremely salty. Overall, staff was very friendly and we did have a nice time.

Pros: great location, friendly staff, super wine list

Cons: expensive, food mediocre

Ate here the first night in New York. The service was absolutely wonderful. They were very, very attentive and very patient when we were not sure what we wanted. All my daughter had to do was comment on a certain bread they served and the waiter produced more for her to take with her. My husband's steak was very tender and my soup and Rothmann's salad was very tasty.

Pros: atmosphere, service
