This place was a nice change from your typical steakhouse - cozy and intimate with a distinct Brooklyn vibe. Steaks were great - had the strip steak and a veal chop on special both perfectly cooked and served with nice sauces. The pan fried mashed potatoes were also excellent. A nice evening out.
I would say this is a hipster steakhouse. Which isn’t a bad thing. The vibe is cozy. I didn’t enjoy the table we sat in being that it’s right by the entrance. You feel the cold air whenever the door is opened. Plus having people stand and wait right behind you can get annoying real quick.
The food was amazing though. The sourdough bread was good but wished it came out warm. NY strip was delicious. The pan fried mashed potatoes were a stand out! The portions are decent. Usually there’s always left overs to take home when visiting a steakhouse. This wasn’t the case. Everyone ate their plate clean!
I’d visit again.
Made the trek out to Brooklyn specifically to check out the Butchers steak. Well worth the ride. The steak is a very good value and very flavorful. I liked the space, and the service was great. Very comforting time for brunch with peeps.
We called to visit before we leave and they explained well to us in advance the exact waiting time and even explained the slight delay in the middle by the phone. they have another bar next to this restaurant, which was great atmosphere, so even we arrived early we could wait there. Hanger Steak was amazing and so does lamb. we seat at the bar so we could feel the atmosphere and The person working there, especially at the bar, he was very friendly so we totally enjoyed our dinner and atmosphere.
I definitely recommend!!!
The food was amazing, worth the reservation wait. Service was great in helping us choose a bottle of wine. Atmosphere was nice and cozy, can go casual. Would be a vibe in the colder months, gives kind of a cabin feel.
Been wanting to try this place for a while! Sat at the chefs table aka bar seats — if you’re two people highly recommend this as watching the open kitchen is quite cool. It’s a pretty small space overall so it’s very homey and cozy. Felt like a modern spin on a steakhouse…mismatched plates and neat spins on dishes. The pan fried mashed potatoes are a must! Flatbread too. Steaks were good but ordered medium rare and found they were quite red/cold. Much closer to rare. Overall a great spot and would definitely go back!
Great meal. Steak was cooked perfectly. Not an ounce of fat. Great quality food. And extensive wine list. The hostess was super friendly and accommodating! Bartender gave spotty service.
Absolutely outstanding. The food was thoughtful and executed perfectly. Service and atmosphere were both amazing. So many great places around and this place definitely is running at the top of the pack. Go early and grab a drink at their bar next door.
The decor looks more like a western saloon, but the steak here is top notch. Diver scallops , salad and thick cut bacon started the meal well. Roasted brocolli with breading a nice veggie side. All the meat came out juicy and tender, especially the tomahawk so beautiful. The dessert werr superb as well finishing on a sweet note.
St. Anselm lives up to its reputation as one of the superior NYC steakhouses. Super cozy atmosphere, and service is excellent. The stuffed octopus special of the day was all right (and portion was smaller than expected), and oysters were fine. The butcher's steak, however, is absolutely the star of the show: simple, delicious, and made perfectly. Spinach gratin was also fantastic and a must-have. Often times creamed spinach is incredibly heavy, but this was surprisingly light yet full of flavor. Overall, a great steak experience at a fair price point.
