Restaurants near Penn Station, New York City

It’s a diner! Just what you’d expect. Good salads and burgers. Been here many times.

I went out to dinner with a group of friends, and it was absolutely stunning. Nick was an amazing server, so attentive, and helpful. The food was beyond great. I cannot wait to go back.

Very lively place with good food and excellent service. My server Puya (sp?) was excellent. She knew the menu well, was courteous and professional, and treated my party with respect.

Perfect spot for dinner before a show or event at MSG. Rather than rest on that convenience, the restaurant offers great food and service. Tables can be a bit tight, but everyone understands — better that than miss out on a nice branzino or steak. Service is always great as well, both at the bar while waiting for a table and at the dinner table. Always appreciate the honesty and great suggestions.

A Timeless Vaulted Escape in NYC For our 12th anniversary, my wife and I wanted a memorable dining experience, and we found it in this hidden gem tucked away in the historic New Yorker Hotel. Housed in what was once an old bank vault, this steakhouse offered more than just a meal; it was an enchanting journey into the past. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the ambiance transported us. My wife, who’s lived her whole life in New York, remarked that the setting made her feel like she wasn’t in the city at all. The design—ornate, elegant, and brimming with old-world charm—evoked a sense of grandeur. It felt like stepping into a 1920s time capsule where every guest seemed important, fancy, and yes, a little bougie. The food was exceptional. I started with the crab cake, which came paired with a vibrant wasacaca sauce—a unique Venezuelan-inspired touch that added a fresh, tangy kick. For my main course, I chose the buttery salmon, which quite literally melted in my mouth. It was perfectly cooked, rich, and flavorful, leaving me savoring every bite. My wife opted for one of their signature steaks, and it was cooked to perfection with just the right balance of char and tenderness. The service was attentive and thoughtful, matching the opulence of the venue. If I had one critique, it would be the lack of non-alcoholic beverage options on the menu. While it wasn’t a dealbreaker, a few curated mocktails or even house-made sodas could have rounded out the experience. Overall, this restaurant made our anniversary truly special. Between the historic setting, the exquisite food, and the impeccable attention to detail, it’s a place we’ll cherish as part of our memories. For anyone looking to escape the city’s hustle and immerse themselves in timeless elegance, this steakhouse is a must-visit.
