STRIP HOUSE

"Strip House downtown used to offer a spin on a Philly cheesesteak during the pandemic with steakhouse quality beef, dripping in onions and cheese, served on French bread for around $25. They indicated it might return for future restaurant week menus."

"For a solo diner at Strip House, the boneless dry-aged strip is a good option, or a larger cut like porterhouse/tomahawk for groups. The commenter also tried a 'wagyu' filet which was good but not exceptional for the price, and enjoyed the kung pao Brussels sprouts and the millefeuille potato dish. The 'strip house potatoes' gratin is another recommended potato side."

"Strip House is seen as a solid all-around steakhouse, but not known for a specific signature steak. The dry-aged ribeye is recommended if one is unsure about steak preferences. The chocolate cake is also a must-try, and goose fat potatoes are noted as a desired side."

"The commenter suggests eating lightly at Strip House, focusing on the potatoes and creamed spinach as supporting dishes and saving room for the 24-layer chocolate cake, rather than ordering a shrimp cocktail."

"Regarding the porterhouse for 2 at Strip House, the commenter mentioned they also have a larger size suitable for more than two people."

"The commenter considers Strip House on 12th their favorite steakhouse in NYC and recommends the bone-in ribeye or porterhouse for 2."

"The commenter mentioned they don't find Strip House to be their favorite steakhouse. They recommended the bone-in NY strip or ribeye, goose fat potatoes, truffle spinach, and Alaska or chocolate cake."

"Responding to a comment about waiter inconsistency, the original poster admitted they might be picky, but felt that while Strip House's food is excellent, the hospitality at other places is top-notch, whereas at Strip House, waiter quality varies."

"The commenter has been to the 12th street Strip House location over 5 times and is always happy, never having real problems with waiters, although they have been asked to move to the bar with a complimentary drink after finishing their meal."

"The commenter stated that Strip House remains their favorite steakhouse."

"The reviewer has been going to Strip House for a decade and twice in the last year. They describe it as a bawdy, sexy, upscale place that doesn't take itself too seriously. The steak and classic sides were praised as punching above their weight, and the goat cheese salad and other sides were also great. The multi-layered chocolate cake is a favorite, though consistency varies. Pros include fantastic food and sides, and a fun atmosphere, while cons are that it's not 'fancy-schmancy' and waiter quality can be inconsistent."

"Strip House is recommended."

"The commenter notes Strip House's decline in quality since ownership changes, with meat quality no longer matching its initial standards. They previously visited frequently but no longer do."

"Strip House might be preferable for its alcohol selection and cocktails if one is a drinker, though the commenter doesn't drink themselves. Otherwise, Golden Steer is preferred."

"The commenter enjoys Strip House in the West Village, praising its great vibe and excellent food, particularly the salty peppery crust on the steak."

"The commenter strongly advises against Strip House, stating it has been awful for 20 years and that Golden Steer is a much better choice."

"Strip House is considered one of the best steakhouses in NYC, unlike Old Homestead which has declined significantly in quality. The commenter has had consistently bad experiences at Old Homestead recently."

"Strip House is stated to be the commenter's favorite steakhouse in the city, by a significant margin."

"The commenter had a negative experience at Strip House a few months prior, finding their ribeye to be the worst they'd had in a long time, though they acknowledge it might have been an off day."

"Strip House is the commenter's favorite steakhouse in the city and is recommended."
