Prime Sirloin is their specialty. Also- they tend to cook their meats a tad bit less than the requested temperature, so "Medium Rare" is really somewhere between that and "Rare."

Take in the old school atmosphere and get ready for one of the best Sirloin Steaks around. Add a baked potato and a vegetable. But save room for desert and get the Ice Cream Tartufo.

One place that can surpass Peter Luger’s is Spark’s. A delicious steak comes with creamed spinach, hash browns, and their impeccable wine list, says Suzanne Corso, author of Brooklyn Story.

It is the establishment where Gambino crime family boss Paul Castellano and underboss Thomas Bilotti were gunned down near its entrance in 1985. The hit was under the orders from John Gotti.[1]

This is a quintessential NYC steakhouse. The food, the ambiance, and the service are all part of the experience, and every aspect is excellently executed. Also, make a reservation!

The Chef should learn how to cook steaks and the difference between MEDIUM RARE and WELL DONE.

Had to send a steak back...um that's the one thing they should be great at. Go to Keens on 36th best chophouse in Manhattan.

Bad service, descent steaks. Creamed spinach was soupy but the home fries are excellent.

Great place for dinner meeting with clients. Chilian Sea Bass was thick and juicy with veggies cook perfectly.

Delicious meal with great service!

Classic NYC institution. Delicious strip steak and sides though I would rate a notch below other NYC greats (Peter Luger, Wolfgang, Strip House). Fantastic wine list. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu)

This is the top: Prime Sirloin Steak w Creamed Spinach and Hash Brown Potatoes and a Walnut Pecan Pie... The way they re-set the table before the dessert and coffe is old school.

Not as good as it used to be: Food or service. Very disappointed

Even with a reservation, you may have to wait for an hour at the cramped bar. It’s worth it: The signature sirloin is a lean 16-ounce prime hunk with a salty, lightly charred exterior.

Definitely don't go there if you're wearing jeans. Feel really out of place.
