Positive"what you're saying is theoretical, not indisputable. Luger's is literally the best example because it's still considered one of the top places in nyc and it's still guilty of giving you inconsistent results. a bad example would be me giving you a no-name place just to cherry pick. one sided sear, burnt steak, gruff service, improper temps, it's not just lugers. Gallagher's, keens, Smiths, amber, etc. remember when old homestead was selling us fake Kobe beef? indisputable would mean they'd all have 5 star reviews, and in every 2 star review there's a hint of truth because we've all experienced it. the ones that actually do as you dream of are few and far between. drop a few names because they represent the minority of the steakhouses in nyc."
Negative"Keen’s, Old Homestead and Strip House would be good options."
Positive"Old Homestead Steakhouse is probably the closest. You're also within a 20 minute walk of Keen's and Strip House."
