Sparks Steak House

About this business

This Midtown hot spot with an infamous history has developed a reputation for good steaks and a business crowd. Dry-aged beef is served in hearty portions, as well as extra-thick veal and lamb chops. Seafood selections include red snapper and striped bass. Large dining rooms with dark antique furniture and staid paintings create the atmosphere. Black-tied waiters and efficient service set the pace. There is also an amazing wine list, with huge selections and amazingly affordable prices.

nothing extraordinal – Since we had a reservation, I did not need to wait for long, but everything was ordinal. The Spark's original steak sauce is worth trying, but meal itself is just OK. This place makes Outback a better alternative unless your company's expense account lets you dine with someone else's money.

If you don't mind waiting. Excellent – I went with a group so the waiting was not too bad. I do not recommend for lunch due to the wait. The food was excellent when it finally arrived.

DON'T GO! – One of the most unpleasant dining experiences I have had in a while. Perhaps it was the 1 1/2 hour wait on a weeknight with reservations. Perhaps it was all the cigar smoke from folks who looked like central casting could use them on the Sopranos. The mediocre, wildly overpriced food in a dining room that looked like a basement surely did not help. Even Outback's is better than this place.

As Good As It Gets – None better when it comes to steakhouses. The service is great, the food is great, and the setting is great. what more can you ask for?? It is a bit pricey, but you pay for what you get... For all of you Peter Luger's lovers, well, this place makes Luger's look like the Outback Steakhouse.

Steak, the way it should be – In my estimation, the steak and the service can't get any better but you must bring your wallet w/you in order to enjoy this establishment.

POOR SERVICE, but why at Sparks ??? – Service seriously lacking. I eat out alot, and was floored by how unattentive and unprofessional the service was at a place the I thought mastered the craft years and years ago? What suprised me the most, was that after ordering a $325 bottle of vino (I wasn't paying) the service STILL stunk. I guess Sparks will continue to draw crowds due to its name (and the steak was quality) but the poor wait-staff won't get me back anytime soon.

Is it really owned by the mob? – Well, if it is than the mob knows best. On a recent visit to New York, both my dad and I ordered the filet mignon. The filet was awesome, the wine was great, the ambiance was what it should be!

Gangster Not The Only One Murderd Here – The only thing worse than the improperly cooked steaks was the non-existant service. Once a great steakhouse, now a schlockhouse. Take this one off your list!

Mediocre, inferior! With a bad attitude! – Over the years Sparks has been one of my top dining picks. No Longer! Sparks has sunk to mediocrity. Service is non existent. Water was unattainable. In desperation my diner guest went to the side stand retrieved a pitcher of water and served herself. My martini glass remained on the table throughout wine and diner. Steaks ordered med-rare and medium were served blood rare. When the waiter ultimately was located (no easy task) the requested medium steak was returned to the kitchen. ... read more
