Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
Situated on the North and West balconies of New York's Grand Central Terminal, this restaurant was designed to reflect Michaels sense of taste and style. Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C. ranks among the finest steakhouses in Manhattan, offering a world class menu and an extensive, eclectic selection of wines and spirits. There are two private dining rooms and two semi private dining rooms available, with pre-fixe menus.
"Grand Central Terminal's renovation was masterful. The building, especially the ceiling and chandeliers are a must see and add to the overall dining experience. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our waiter made great recommendations and the food was amazing."

Review 2 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"We have been a group of 10 people. For this we had to pay 20% service, without getting a real good service. The steaks, which we have ordered have been mixed up, Almost noone of the group got the steak, he or she had ordered (medium/medium rare, medium to well done). The quality of the meat is not recommandable. I had often perfect steaks in America, but for this steak I would not visit the restaurant any more and also not recommand it to a friend. The service was slow although the restaurant was not fully booked. The server was stressed and not very polite especially when we asked to devide the bill."

Review 3 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"I ordered a cobb salad with avocado, chicken, and blue cheese instead of the egg and bacon. First they brought me the wrong salad, but it had plenty of avocado and egg. Then they brought mine and honestly I have never received so little chicken, blue cheese, and avocado on a cobb salad in my life. It was like a treasure hunt to find the few pieces of each that were included. I don't get it. I was stunned, but I did not want to embarrass my guest so I said nothing. When I ordered, I was told that it is usually served with a piece of chicken on top. I asked to have mine chopped. I would have hated to see that piece of chicken before it was chopped. Honestly I do not think it was even a 1 inch by 2 inch piece of chicken before it was chopped."

Review 7 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"Not jut a steakhouse in the amazing setting of Grand Central Terminal. The chef came through with a PERFECT mushroom bisque -- smooth as silk, intense essence of mushroom flavor, garnished delicately with chives and browned sauteed onions. Outstanding and world-class. And it was on the lunch special !!"

Review 8 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"My husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon in NYC and wanted to have one nice restaurant meal instead of the usual burger or pizza places! From the minute we stepped in were were taken aback by the service and atmosphere the place has! We had great table overlooking the concourse ! The food was out of this world! We shared the garlic bread with Gorgonzola cheese fondue,..,, this has to be the best starter we've ever had! My husband asked the waiter what the biggest steak was and that's what he ordered!!! The steak was literally melt in the mouth. I would highly highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a special occasion meal or fancies a bit of fine dining for a nice change! Thank for for making our honeymoon so special!"

"Even though there were servers bustling around, we had to ask twice for many things. On the other hand, when our party size shrank unexpectedly, they were very accommodating."

Review 11 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"Delicious food. Steak was raw instead of rare but that's how I like it. Very good for business lunch. Would highly recommend. Mac and cheese as well as crawfish chowder and crab cakes were out of this world. Overlooking busy grand central station with awesome view of the terminal and beautiful ceilings."

Review 15 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"The ambience of MJ's is hard to beat. While the vantage point overlooking the main concourse of Grand Central is awesome, MJ's has a surprisingly comfortable and even intimate atmosphere. You would think it would be noisy, but it is not at all. The food is very nicely prepared and presented. The service was very good."

Review 18 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"An exceedingly disappointing dining experience. It was the worst & most expensive meal of our holiday. The server was reluctant to provide any service. The food was not cooked properly. Most of our meal was left on out plates & still nobody asked why. after complaining to the restaurant it took a week to respond. Was bitterly disappointed."

Review 19 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"Had a birthday dinner for my wife. Wanted the occasion to be special and it was. Food was very good. We all had steaks with a number of appetizers and side dishes. Everyone was happy with their selections. Only criticism is that meat came out cooked on the rare side rather than medium. Service I felt was outstanding. Our waiter was attentive but not obtrusive. Food served at reasonable intervals. The ambiance in Grand Central Station was elegant yet comfortable. Surprisingly it is not noisy and our table was easily able to converse. Found prices to be reasonable. Had ordered flowers for my wife to be delivered to the restaurant and they were waiting for her on the table. Will definitely go back."

Review 23 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"The service at MJ's Steah House was very poor. Our orignal waiter basically ignored us and didn't approach us until we flagged him down. Midway through the meal our waiter's shift ended and another waiter introduced himself as our new waiter. We did not see the new waiter again until we had to flag him down for the check. Besides the steak the food was subpar. This restaurant does not rate a second visit."

"Loved it! I was a bit sceptical going in. I wanted to take my son somewhere nice and he is a huge basketball fan. Up there with all the prime steak houses I have eaten at. The unique location added the ambiance. Service was excellent!"

Review 26 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"While my bone-in Filet was delicious, it was overcooked to my order. Many service issues and my wife's order (the hamburger for $23) was over cooked and served on a silly low grade summer picnic grocery store bun. The expectations were much higher."

"Ate at Michael Jordan's on Monday, March 18. Only complaint was that while I waited for my dinner companion to arrive, I got no service whatsoever. I had to ask a random waiter for a glass of wine and water. On the plus side, the food was delicious, I happen to like the view of Grand Central Terminal below, the noise factor in the dining room is much better than in the bar area. And I love the convenience - I hop off the train, have dinner, and hop back on to get home. This has been my choice of restaurants when meeting this particular dinner companion on several occasions."

Review 31 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"If you're passing through Grand Central and want a bite to eat, just look up. Great spot for a business lunch or dinner in midtown. Can be a bit noisy due to it being inside Grand Central, but nonetheless a great place to grab a reasonably priced steak."

Review 33 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"My guests really liked the setting. It was a bit noisy, but not too bad. I thought the steak was good but not up to NY steakhouse standards. There was some gristle and the flavor, while fine, did not stand out. The servers paid exactly as much attention to us as we wanted."

"MJ used to stand for excellence. This place is cruising on location. How can you ruin a burger? How can a iceberg wedge be lousy? Just about everything we tried was soso or worse."

Review 39 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"Read bad reviews and wasn't expecting much, especially in terms of service. The hostess couldn't have been friendlier, even when we asked to move our reservation back a bit. Service was fine, not exceptional. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides of mushrooms and spinach were delicious. The chocolate cake was not worth the calories. One of the main reasons for returning is the view from the balcony."

Review 40 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"We love Michael Jordan's for special occasions. The food is very good and we especially love the Gorgonzola fondue! The steaks and sides are delicious as well as the desserts. The portions are generous-appropriate for sharing of the sides or desserts. Overlooking Grand Central Station is always magnificent. Would recommend,"

"Fantastic restaurant in an even better location. Service and food were excellent and the free chocolate cake to celebrate Michael Jordan's birthday was a lovely treat.
Would recommend this restaurant highly and the view even more so."

Review 42 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"The food was terrible. Expensive. And terrible. Only thing that was decent was a burger. But we went for the view, which even considering the bad food, made it a fun time.
Kid got popcorn shrimp.An unseasoned bland lump of over-fried batter. I know it's "popcorn shrimp," but that's what he wanted. And it was terrible. Also had a lobster roll, a limp, unseasoned mess. Even the desserts were bad. The breadsticks however, were OUTSTANDING!!!
If only the Oyster Bar was open on President's day."

"The steak was not high quality and the desserts were average. Appears to be more of a tourist trap. The prices are high and the food is average. 21 zagat rating is accurate but only because of the unique setting."

Review 48 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"I generally like this place but the last time I went, they overcooked the steaks. this is the first time this has happened to me there, and I'm quite sure they would have fixed it if asked, but we were in a hurry. On the balance, I will go someplace else next time, but will probably try again in the future, as its generally a convenient and decent quality steakhouse. Note to the management though; consistency!!"

Review 49 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"I have dined at the restaurant in CT IT WAS SUCH A GREAT experience that I thought it would be great in NYC. What a disappointment. Service was lousy, our waiter could hardly speak English, we had to ask for things several times, and the food was lackluster. What a disappointment to have spent that much money with no value for food/service"

Review 50 for Michael Jordan's The Steak House N.Y.C.
"The wait staff were wonderful but the waiter himself was horribly slow (we waited 20 mins before someone else asked if we were ready to order). The food was so-so, but we had much better food elsewhere in NY, and for less money. This may have been worth the money if the service hadn't been so incredibly poor. Waiter also put a $70 bottle of wine on our bill and corrected it once it was pointed out, but rather than apologize, he chose to tell us it was meant for the other table and well, these things happen. Sigh. I went out and ate at the hot dog cart outside when we were done."
