Aj Maxwell's Steakhouse

This new hot spot has a plush bar area, beautiful dining area and the food is absolutely delish! Pros: first, garage parking and street parking - service, food!!! more

Wow! I went to AJ Maxwell's yesterday for a business lunch - which was the first time I've had lunch there - I usually go to the main dining room for dinner. It was perfect. I had a spinach salad with grilled shrimp, and brussel sprouts, too. The salad was amazing - the shrimp were huge! I couldn't go without the brussel sprouts that I get every time! Pros: Food, ambiance, service Cons: none more

Received a warm welcome as soon as I entered this beautiful restaurant. Pros: Atmosphere, parking Cons: none more

Ate here before but read the review in CRAINs magazine about the RibEye, so I had to try it. Rstr was packed, patrons all over. Staff is still very friendly and management was checking on tables. Excellent wine list for the pricing. I started with the crab cake, moist one of the best I've had. My friend had the bacon slices...chard to perfection. My entree I had the Rib Eye, HUGE, meat was perfect, char-broiled on the outside and the right shade of pink on the inside. My friend had the veal chops...HUGE portion and full of flavor. For the sides we had hash browns, creamed spinach and mac and cheese. Everything was perfect, don't understand what others are talking about....they must not understand the true meaning of char-broiled nor waiting for perfection....quality vs. quanitity...if you KNOW anything about meat, this is the place to go. Pros: MEAT LOVERS HEAVEN Cons: NOTHING more

Gotta be one of the worst place to eat in, not only can AJ not cook a decent flavored steak, they cant get it right after 3 attempts and on the 3rd attempt, they try to speed things up by being lazy and recycle food from the first platter, its really not that difficult to put together a dish that consists of only 3 items and adding some seasoning, please dont try to embrass yourself by using food from the first dish that I returned that was overcooked. What restaurants in their right mind would ever recycle food on a platter, if they recycle a dish like this, who knows what else they do recycle onto your plate. Its really embarrassing to be called a steakhouse when they cant even get "Medium" correct, no its not WELL DONE, or RARE, its MEDIUM, and please dont place that first piece of Foie Gras from the welldone piece back on my platter and plate it with a fresh piece, its not that hard. If you looking for a place that overcharges and cant get the meat or seasoning right, this is the place. Theres plenty of places to eat, dont waste your time or money here. Cons: Overpriced, Tasteless, waste of time more

I've been to AJ Maxwells a few times now and each time I'm there, I'm never disappointed. It's a beautifully decorated, upscale restaurant with impeccable service and fabulous food. The Chilean Sea Bass oozes flavor and the jumbo seafood cocktail platter is to die for...packed with other assorted goodies on the plate. They also offer a wide variety of mouth-watering desserts . Great bar area too...very roomy and very happening with a cool mural/wall of the 4 caesars and lots of fun people. If you want to dine where you will be made to feel like a VIP...go there...you won't be disappointed. Pros: great ambience, great bar area, convenient mid-town location more

This restaurant has great food, great atmosphere and great service. What else could you ask for in a restaurant. The dishes had great presentation and the meat was succulent and delicious. The seafood was also great. Their seafood appetizer was spectacular. There was a great array of desserts as well. I highly recommend A.J. Maxwell's. Pros: The portions are huge. more

What a beautiful steakhouse with a great variety of food, all of which is delicious. You can't finish the steaks, they're so huge and cooked to perfection. Impeccable service and delicious dessert menu. Pros: Well greeted and feel like a king Cons: city parking more

What a wonderful time. Food, service, ambiance were all right there! Always looking for a new place to go and this was a winner! Would highly recommed for any occasion. more

I was looking for a steakhouse that wasn't one of the "usuals" and I found AJ Maxwell's. Very nice ambience, food was delicious, but pricey, which was okay. They had a great wine list, which was very important to one person in my group. Steak is one of those things that I don't cook at home so I expect a lot when I go out for it. Maxwell's didn't disappoint. more

Highly recommended. The food is excellent as well as the service. The atmosphere is romantic and up scale. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. more

Had a business lunch at AJ Maxwells recently. I must say the food and ambience were excellent and yet another great NYC steakhouse you must check out. Up there with some of the best in the city. Pros: STEAK LOVERS, Business expense accounts, location more

My favorite steakhouse in New York. This place even beats Lugers, people. Food, service, ambiance - amazing. I've eaten here 3 times already, and every experience was wonderful. I've had the ribeye, the salmon, and a burger/fries at the bar, and they were all exceptional. Plus the mac & cheese!!! Oh, so good! This is a great place for a romantic meal, a group meal, or just some bar food and drinks after work. Pros: Bone-in ribeye, ambiance, service Cons: I can't think of even one. more
