Danielle Snow: I had lunch there today. I got the 3 roll lunch special. it was delicious and my sushi was super fresh
Dens: Omakase from the downstairs sushi bar is amazing. Don't leave without trying the hand rolls (go spicy tuna!). I was also digging the salmon-meets-blowtorch sushi. Ask for fresh wasabi too.
New York Habitat: If you are a sushi lover, this is the right place! Make sure to try their spicy tuna rolls, and Sushi & Sashimi Combination. And the prices are good for what you get!

Bill: Great steak. Great service. A bit pricey. Get the steak for two.
Geoffroy Bablon: The porterhouse for two is one big, tasty steak. Just charred on the outside, super tender on the inside. Get it with a bottle of Belle Pente Pinot noir.

Italian Restaurant · Midtown East · 196 tips and reviews
Wesley Bliss: Renowned for their aged steaks, inconceivable chicken parm pie, and kale carbonara. Her the corn creme brulee, oysters, and some excellent cocktails too.
Ricky Gilbert: Wow - if you like QualityMeats you will like QI. Chicken parm is enormous but you already know this. Over order apps (including their chopped salad and eggplant) and sides (Corn Brûlée and Macaroni).
Eater: This restaurant specializes in steak, but the menu also includes raw bar items, crudo, charcuterie, pastas, roasted fish dishes, and a shareable chicken parm the size of a hubcap.
