A great time. I took my wife here for an anniversary dinner. I had some apprehension due to some older comments with nothing too recent. But I really wanted someplace different. I just didn't want good food, I wanted some ambiance and dare I say, something other then new sterile surroundings, I was looking for a little romance. And this being winter with snow today, I thought a fireplace would be really nice ambiance. Our hotel was Central Park West, and the concierge provided several suggestions of good food but nothing that struck me as a little romantic. So we took a cab about 20 blocks. Now, when we got there we were greeted by a host & hostess who took up upstairs. The downstairs looked nice and the upstairs had a really nice burning fireplace. We were seated immediately with our reservation, water and menus appeared immediately along with the waiter who took our beverage order and explained the specials. We both opted for the filet minion (medium & medium well), added a couple of salads and one side for each meal. The sides were good sized for us to share. The flow of service was timely. This is not a fast food restaurant or a grab and go. The caesura was quite appropriate to allow for conversation. The steak was outstanding. The chocolate volcano was delicious. Overall, the entire service was great and attentive, the ambiance of the "fireplace" room was delightful. The bill was about $140 (pre gratuity) for both of us, and we were highly pleased with everything. As an additional treat, we took the limo back to our hotel, and this cost me a tip which was just a few bucks more than a taxi. We had a great time and I can recommend Frankie & Johnnies on 37th St. They have other locations but we went to this one. Oh and we were visiting from Orlando.
Fantastic dinner and experience. Far outshone some of the other nearby steakhouses. First rate service!
I give 4 stars only because the hostess was a bit rude. Gave a call earlier stating we'd be running late, she said no problem. As we entered, we were greeted with rudness. Eye rolling at customers isn't a good look (the restaurant wasn't even packed, 5 tables max) and for a nice place, you'd expect the hostess do be a bit more business casual rather than jeans with a tied tshirt in the back and sneakers, and a messy bun like she just woke up. Im not hating, but for steakhouses such as this, you want to be at least presentable, it doesn't matter if you are slow or over booked in business. Other than that, wonderful service from both servers, and the food was great. If they keep the seafood combo special throughout the year I'd come by every day just to have that!! It was delicious especially the crab cake with a hashbrown like crunch to it! Omg!! Thats how good it was.
The entire staff was warm and friendly. We were running a bit late, and they were accommodating. We were seated as soon as we got there. Sal, our server was friendly and nice.
I had the garlic mashed potatoes and the salmon. Both were quite delectable. I will definitely go back and recommend it to others.
When in New York City on 37th street, Frankie and Johnnie's is a Great place for steak but I had the chicken Parm and it was delicious too! We had multiple appetizers and they are large and sharable. Servers were great. We sat upstairs. The lamb chops looked great! Try the bacon appetizer. You will not be disappointed! They serve alcohol too!
A great restaurant whith something for everyone. This restaurant is conveniently located just two block from Broadway. I recommend you make reservations to ensure you don't have to wait. From the hostesses to the servers to the kitchen staff everyone was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was family friendly. Our appetizers were perfect. Our entrées were cooked just as each of us ordered. This is a must do if you are staying in the Time Square area.
Great food, fantastic options if you mention to the servers that you do vegan/plant based. The only thing that seemed a bit off was the acoustic. We were in a larger group/private event upstairs and it was hard to talk and hear others as the room does not absorb sound very well. Amazing place, though! Thank you for having us!

One of the best and most consistent steakhouses in the city. They have truly mouthwatering steaks cooked to perfection each and every time. This is one of my favorite places to go on a Friday evening because of not only the food but the live jazz music. The music is awesome and the food is perfectly executed. The service at the bar, however, has changed drastically from a year ago… Spiro, the bartender is overwhelmed by himself and we noticed he has become grumpy and really nasty. Such a shame for one of the great steakhouses in the city. There are many regulars such as myself who come for the food and jazz, and we all happened to have the same opinion— they really need new, more hospitable bartenders. We usually order four to five drinks, but the last few visits, we only had a glass of wine, due to his inattentiveness and nastiness when asking for even bread with our steaks!! Food, however, still A++ Atmosphere, pleasantly ambient… bartender, 0.
Once in awhile, they have a different bartender who is much more personable— makes great drinks and actually smiles!

We came here for a dinner and were excited for a great meal. We started out with sharing thick cut bacon which was very good, very thick and tasty. My wife had the crab cakes to start out which was filled out fresh lump crab meat but had a bit too much mustard. The potatoes were a great addition and added a neat spin on the dish. I had the tomato and onion salad and was a bit different than I expected. The tomatoes were very good but the onion was plentiful and I had a portion of one along with the tomatoes. For our main dish I had the t-bone which was supposed to be medium but seemed to be overdone on the tenderloin side and was a bit fatty in the strip side. It also did. It have much seasoning on the steak. My wife had the surf and turf of a filet with shrimp scampi. There were three shrimp, very large and very good. The filet was perfectly cooked and seasoned well. For desert we shared a molten cake with vanilla ice cream. It was very good and cooked perfectly. The service was very good overall and the staff was very friendly. I felt it was a bit pricey overall and the food ok so that is why four stars.
I love this place, I've had absolutely wonderful customer service. The staff was constantly there to make sure that my needs were met and beyond. Atop that, the food and drinks were amazing. Not only did I enjoy a wonderful ribeye steak, and a Frankie's gimlet, but after my meal I went down to the first floor and sat at the bar with the bartender Danny and had a great couple of hours talking and meeting with other New Yorkers and enjoying some quality draft beer. The atmosphere is wonderful and I can't highly recommend this place enough!
It's a decent steak house without the ridiculous wait time / reservation compared to other places. Appetizers are prepped slightly differently compared to other steakhouse, and they are good. Steaks are simple dry aged, high seared, and no butter. Place has a comfortable / warm classic steakhouse feel.

This was the most exciting and pleasurable meal we shared with my adult children. They finally got to experience proper service at a high-end restaurant in NYC, my hometown.
We don't get service and food like this in Central Ohio. They all were enthralled about everything this restaurant has to offer. Plus being served a delightful meal in John Barrymores house.
