I have eaten in many steakhouses across the country, and have lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn for over 60 years. While Peter Luger will never be topped, I have rarely eaten in a steakhouse where i left unhappy. UNTIL TONIGHT. I took my son and my sister out to dinner at Frankie and Johnnies in Rye and was very disappointed in the service and the food. The salads and crab cake were good. The steak of all things was NOT. We ordered out steaks medium and medium well..... they came out RARE. I never complain and never ""under-tip"" but this was not worth $250 for 3 people. I'm sorry but for $80 plus per person I would like to leave satisfied. And I DID NOT. My son had the Fliet Mignon on the special list and it was $58 and rare. The porterhouse at Peter Luger is the best meat you will ever have and that is $76 FOR TWO!!!!. If the food was good and we were impressed with the service then I would not have cared one bit about the money. But like i said. Overpriced and simply not worth it.
Pros: Atmosphere, Location, Building
Cons: Food and Service, the most important ones!!
