"This restaurant was a recommendation from 2 friends and it didn't disappoint. The service and the food was great.
The wine list was quite nice as well ... the Pinot Noir recommendation went amazing with our meals.
The music was amazing. Saturday is the place to be and be seen. Lots of good looking people

"It's probably what they were aiming for, but this restaurant had a club like atmosphere accompanying their generally good food. Both my wife and I had Caesar Salad and Filet Mignon with a side of mashed potatoes. The salad was uncut and made for an unwelcome challenge in the cozy quarters. Two tops are stacked so close together we could hear both of our neighbors' conversations clearly and i bumped elbows with them several times. The steak was exceptional and the potatoes were an excellent compliment despite being a little on the runny side. Overall, it's not what I had hoped for when visiting from out of town looking for a New York steak house, but it seems like a great place to kick off a night out with the boys (or girls)."

"Had a group of 5 from Florida that wanted to experience the Meatpacking District. Walked the Highline, had a drink, then went to Abe & Arthur's. Had a great T-Bone, perfectly charred with kosher salt on outside, medium on inside. can't say enough about the service & side items as well. DJ was playing music downstairs, food, vibe, service all great. Will definitely return!"

"Went out with another couple aethomg we don't do often. Asked for upstairs table and were accommodated with no problem. Food choices were a bit limited but we all found options. Non steak entrees were a bit small as were appetizers. All were delicious though. Service was great. Really noisy though. Maybe I'm just old!"

"everything was great. our server was outstanding. we had the porterhouse for 2 and it was heavenly. the mussel appetizer was wonderful as well. it was a great meal. we had a table upstairs which was best because the noise level downstairs was a bit loud but not annoying.
there was a dj as well and she was pretty good. .

"Extremely noisy when we walked in - the bar attendant was terrible -real attitude and she obviously expected a tip. Thanks to her terrible attitude, poor cocktail presentation and the overall uppitiness (if there is such a word) of the staff (including when I advised the "seating person" we were all here, we had our drink and walk out...........would not recommend to anyone (actually I would recommend it to certain people however I wouldn't write in a review ) - we were lucky enough to get a table at another well known establishment in the area who were gracious when I said we didn't have a reservation and went out of their way to organise something for us. Good thing is we ended up having a fabulous night."

"I have been to Abe & Arthur's twice and have been disappointed with the food both times. The first time I went, I wanted steak. The service was extremely slow and then when the food finally came, the steak was mediocre. By mediocre, I mean it was good for a $30 steak but not acceptable for a $40 - $50 steak, which is what it cost.
The second time I went to Abe & Arthur's, I was on a date and decided to just order a bunch of appetizers, in order to avoid being dissapointed by the steak again. We ordered the Tuna Tacos (Great), Grill Shrimp Scampi (Good, nice sauce), Black Angus Sliders (Good) and the Lobster Corn Cakes (absolutely terrible). Overall the food wasn't bad this time, but not worth the price.
Wouldn't go for dinner again."

"Service was outstanding! The hostess as well as the waiter went out of there way to make sure everything was good, which we appreciated. The food was good, I had a steak which was alittle tough. We also had the Caesar salad which came with whole lettuce leafs which my wife and I found it was alittle annoying to cut up. The dressing had a heavy mustard or horseradish taste which was good but we prefer it to be more of a white cream parm taste. We sat upstairs which was very dark, had trouble reading the menu which other people also seemed to have trouble with"

"I love to go out to eat to nice restaurants and realize that in NYC you pay for good food. I was extremely disappointed in the food at this highly rated place. To say the portions are small is an understatement. We laughed when the grilled octopus came to the table. I laughed even more at our dinner entrees. I ate at STK a week ago and at least for 150 we had tasty food at normal portions. I can say the same about dos caminos pastis buddhakan spice market and any other place I've been to in the city. I really don't know why this place is highly rated. The waiter was very friendly, buy I wouldn't come here again."

"Rez was made for 7, table was set for 6. When we asked for a table that could accommodate us, we were told, 'moving tables could potentially change the 'experience' of the evening - c'mon, that's embarrassing.
The servers definitely tried to rush us out of there a bit which was also annoying.
Fun spot for clients, good apps, steaks are average - overly expensive wine list."

"It was very trendy and the food was disappointing. I went for RW and it was a decent deal, however my chicken was super dry. The best part was the carousel of donuts. Odd situation involving the waiter and a pepper shaker happened. It was a bit too clubby for me."

"Dined this week at Abe and Arthurs on 14th just off the High Line. Beautiful ambiance forshadowed a lovely meal. Apps were fine --- but the tomato tart is not a tart --- some small mini-bruschettas. Though known as a steak place, Abe's fish were just fabulous --- Wonderful branzino and tuna --- perfectlt cooked and flavorful. Had a nice Malbec as well. So why this restaurant group will be tearing this place apart, giving it a new name and menu and have Marc Forgione as new chef is a mystery to me! It is just fine the way it is!"

"We found that the tables were too close to each other on the top level so you were in between many people's conversations. However, we loved the food. We ordered the Filet Mignon, it was the best steak I have ever had. The green beans were delicious as well although it was a small portion for 2 to share. We will go back to that restaurant, but we will simply request a better table."

"it was fine. the ambiance was nice although the music was too loud and it was difficult to hear the waitress. she had to speak with one person on one side of the table, and then walk all the way over to the other side to speak with the other person. the staff was very friendly though, so i don't fault the service in any way.
the food was a bit hit and miss. the grilled octopus was much too salty, and the scallops cold in the centre, making us query when they cooked them. however, the steak tartare was very good, as were the ribs that we ordered. overall okay experience but i'd try something else next time."

"We had a 9 o'clock reservation and still had to wait over an hour. When we were finally seated, we were given quite possibly the worst table in the restaurant. Considering we had to wait over an hour with a reservation and it was a birthday dinner, we were requested to be moved. We waited about 20-30 min for this and was only able to get it done by speaking to the manager directly, who was great throughout everything. Once we finally got seated and settled - around 10:30/45, we were finally able to enjoy the night and had an amazing waitress. The food was great and the service post seating was great. However, I will not likely ever go back."

"Went for a birthday celebration as a group of 4 women mostly in our 20's. Found the place to be very welcoming and recalled a request I had put in. Bartender was good and mixed a 'special drink' to suit my taste. Maitre de was very personable and service was excellent/tasty food. A slightly older crowd was there at 8 pm but around 10 as we were leaving noticed a very young crowd moving in of very fashionable demeanor and I found out that the club below the restaurant ( S and L) would soon open around 11:30 and that we as diners would be comped an admission (don't know if this is standard). We didn't end up staying for the bar scene but may go again and dine later to experience the late night club scene afterwards...Fun neighborhood also."

"If you want action sit on the main level. Upstairs was quite, food was sub par, and the service was, interesting. The waiter handed us our plates and told us to pass them down. Fine if you're at a diner, but not when you're paying $125 per person."

"went during restaurant week everything we had was amazing. i was with my friend, we were visiting new york for a week, i was our first night there and we compared every meal to that one. very cool spot, but not too trendy. i'd definitely go back on my next visit.
also, the desert was beyond amazing, i'd go back and just eat the desert."

"The look of modern industrial chic is great, but the onion soup came out a little salty for my taste, the beet salad was great while my entree (cod) came out on the salty side. For dessert, the ice cream tasted like it had freezer burn."
