A sprawling, old-school, ultra-masculine midtown steakhouse. – Sparks gained its most enduring fame when mobster Paul Castellano was assassinated on his way in, but that just proves that its meat is worth dying for. OK, maybe that's an exaggeration. Certainly no one comes here for their health--or the decor, which consists mostly of paintings of dead trees in winter and vast expanses of tables filled with hungry he-men and their dates. What you do get at Sparks is some of the city's best prime beef, expertly broiled and serv... read more
Really excellent meal – Visiting NY from the UK for the first time we plumbed the depths of CitySearch for recommendations for a good Steak House and chose one within easy walking distance of our hotel. We're both sure that we chose well. Sparks is large but still manages to be inviting. We were seated quickly and our allocated table served by a pleasant and attentive waiter - Juan (from Argentina, we later learned). The menu, thankfully, is very simple with only 10 or so appetisers and slightly more entrees to choose form. ... read more
I went to the Sparks on a recent trip to NYC with 2 of my girls for a girls weekend..What an experience! We made reservations for 7:30..the guys at the front in the suits were very ...umm how do u say "pushy"? After being held at the bar for over an hour we were seated in the biggest and loudest room i have ever eaten in! This place looked like something out of the Godfather movies. We were greeted by our big muscled up waiter who looked angry and mean at 1st but was such a sweetheart and very funny..(his name is Chris)..He ... read more
Stick to the steak is my guess – I chose to eat a red snapper at Sparks after having too much red meat of late and having had terrific fish at other NY steak houses. Mistake #1. It was breaded, dry and tasteless. Very disappointing given the cost and the reputation of the place. The service was very attentive so we did not focus much on our waiters ins and outs. Mistake #2. He served us about six or seven bottles of imported water which we did not ask for but did not notice given a robust dinner conversation and the waiter's... read more
The best steak in NYC....PERIOD – There isn't much to say here. Simply put, you will not find a better tasting steak in New York City (maybe anywhere). Yes, I have been to Peter Luger. Yes, I have been to the Strip House. Yes, I have been to the Old Homestead. I can say without hyperbole or hesitation that Spark's has the best STEAK in the 5 boroughs and Prime Sirloin be thy name. As a bonus they also sport the most comprehensive and incredible wine list I have ever seen. Do yourself a favor and make it happen.
Best Steakhouse experience yet... – As a young professional always looking to entertain clients I have been frequenting many steakhouses and I must say if you are looking for the environment, service, and quality food of a "storied NYC steakhouse" this is the place to try. While many can say it is a pricey establishment, when compared with those in its category it ranks about the same. However, where Sparks separates itself is in its serice and choice cuts of meat. Some friends and I tried Sparks this weekend looking for a b... read more
GREAT PLACE JUST NOT ON THE WEEKENDS – i went my first time during the week , i was very impressed with the food, very very good steak.the second time i went with my wife on a Saturday night, big big mistake.Waited over a hour for a table, while the bridge and tunnel crowd that looked like extras from the sopranos keep bribing the Maitre d'. needless to say joey the construction owner from Bayonne was skipped over me. Maybe because of its connection to a organized crime slaying it attracts this type but i really regretted ev... read more
What a classic NYC steakhouse experience should be! – Our 22 year old nephew was in town and he wanted a try a "real New York City steakhouse". A quick call to the restuarant confirmed a 7 PM mid-week reservation. We arrived on time and were seated immediately despite a good sized crowd in both the restuarant and the bar. The Maitre D' was gracious and welcoming. The waiters were friendly, and helpful with suggestions on cuts of meat, temperatures (rare vs med rare) and wines (we selected an Italian Barolo Reserve which was ... read more
Beast Steak House in New York City – I have never been to such a large restaurant in my life. I expected to get a average steak, but to my surprise It was perfect. The meat was so tender and juicy that I couldn?t believe it was steak. The salad dressing was just perfect, with nice and fresh tomatoes. Wine list looked like a phone book. Great California Wines. Highly Recommended!!
