Uncle Jack’s Steakhouse Westside

I tend not to eat in the area but I popped out of the AMC cinemas on 34th, absolutely starving having just watched the new Napoleon film, and decided to give it a go. This first I noticed when led to my table (I was on my own and wearing a hoody, so didn’t look too smart) was the impeccable service. This is not just “they were so friendly” good service, it is a full on professional operation. Excellent suggestion on the wine, water frequently topped up, staff attentive but not overbearing. The whole team serving is you are consistent with this, it’s clearly very well managed. Onto the food. I had an 8oz filet mignon ($45) with garlic mashed potatoes ($12) and a pepper sauce, ordered medium rare. The steak was expertly cooked, fantastic quality and very fine. I ordered a glass of red wine, also very good. The restaurant (this was the Friday following thanksgiving) was moderately busy, calm jazz in the background, nice clientele. Price wise I think it’s actually incredibly good value, the food and service are of such high quality, there were various other cuts of meat at a higher price point but I was on my own so didn’t feel like indulging too much. Restaurant has a number of cosy booths, private dining room, and it appears an upstairs with balcony overlooking the restaurant. Very lovely meal this evening. I’ll be sure to return with friends and family in the future.

Thank you for reading. I recently visited on a Sunday late afternoon. Being a single, I sat at the bar. Salvatore the bartender was in charge. I’ve been to NYC dozens and dozens of times, it’s great to find a new find for me! Simply- my meal was great. After a V Martini (rocks) I ordered dinner. Simple: Wedge Salad, 8oz Strip and a side of mushrooms. The salad was wonderful and very tasty. My steak was perfectly done and it was tender as a Mothers love. The mushrooms were also very good. I had several glasses of red wine (all recommended by S) that were great. My bill was frankly a value. Recommended.

Amazing experience for lunch with a crew of work folks. The staff was super attentive from the minute we walked in the door. Food came fast and tasted great. The steaks melt in your mouth. Everything was full of flavor and worth a try. Between all of us we tried a lot of the menu and no one had a complaint. This juicy steak went down like butter. So good, give it a try if you haven't or are in town.
