Monterey is an elevated steakhouse experience in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Rockefeller Center and the historic St Patrick's Cathedral. Enjoy classic steakhouse dishes with modern American touches, all served in a vibrant setting. Building on the best of the city's time-honored steakhouse tradition, Monterey's dusty pink banquets, crisp white tablecloths, and culinary theater evoke the golden age of New York City dining.

    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.

    Good food , service mediocre . We had the typical spreads which were basic , the main dishes were octopus and salmon which were very good. The service was mediocre as the waiter did not explain anything , admitted the wine was bad after we tasted it and chose another , proceeded to ask for a 25% tip. Would not make an effort to return. PS food is rather Israeli , not Moroccan if that is what you are looking for.
