What a great find this is in Midtown for a little luxury. Bit of a splurge, but you really get the whole experience. Service was fantastic, beautifully decorated for Christmas and the whole restaurant is just gorgeous. My sandwich was excellent, as was my cocktail. Highly recommend if you’re looking for the full experience.

We were there to celebrate a birthday and the food was amazing and our server was great. The one issues i had and i have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and this is the first time that i have ever had an issue. Other servers and busboys kept coming over to the table and wanted to take our plates. It was very annoying and we felt rushed. The once good thing is that i went and spoke to the manager and he was shocked and said he would talk with the staff and he did the right thing, I will not let this stop me from going back.

The Monterrey has a great Friday-Saturday offer on prime rib, and that was what we were seeking. What is more NYC than a classic prime rib? Lovely ambiance, great decor, lovely service. Would recommend. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great steakhouse.
