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.

Not Worth It – For a 7:30 reservation we were seated at 8:45 with no apology. By that time, many patrons had way too many drinks and were loud and obnoxious. The food was pretty typical steak house, not nearly as good as Peter Lugars, and the service was just ok. I would never go there again.
Good Steak, But You Hoffa Wait – People-watching here was a joy. Half the crowd looked like they belonged on the set of the Sopranos. The place was packed. We had reservations, but we still had to wait 45 minutes to be seated. We stood near the bar and dodged waiters until we were seated. We opted to skip the appetizers because we weren't super hungry, and they were pricy. Instead, we had steaks alla round and some sides. The steaks were quite nice -- blackened outsides which I love. Mushroom caps - yum. Creamed spinach you ... read more
Mediocre at best – We thought Sparks would be the perfect place for a nice birthday celebration - big mistake. After waiting over an hour for our table even though we had reservations (discovering too late that probably the biggest hold-up was that the host was accepting cash and seating accordingly - so plan to have to bribe the host) we were not very happy by the time we sat down. In addition we were not impressed by the food or the service. Our waiter was rude - forgetting to place an order and then telling us it was our ... read more
THE BEST!!! – My 1st trip to New York and 1st trip to Spark's Steakhouse! It was the BEST meal ever! My friends and I had a WONDERFUL time, the wait staff was very friendly - I have great pictures of my friend and some of the staff! The wine list was great! The appetizers, meal everything - great portions! I would HIGHLY recommend! It's worth the money and time! I will be back on my next trip to New York! The Raspberry dessert w/the Grand Marnier - YUMMY!!!
longevity – Sparks Steak House has been serving excellent food for a long time. The wine list has won awards and their steaks are handled with tender loving care. I've been eating at Sparks since before the move to 46th street. Even when down on 18th st. they served wonderful steaks. Tina Sokol
sparks sends sparks – I love this place! As a steak lover, it's my haven...and as a mafia junkie, it's my heaven. Though it is expensive, it's definitely worth it for its history and style. When else are you going to be at a site of mob history? Sparks steak is immaculate and its wine list is incredible. What is weak? Definitely the stuck up wait staff...but trust me--the steak is worth the cold wait staff.
surf and turf – Sirloin and lobster combination best in the city. Excellent priced wine list with good selection of Napa and Bordeaux.
expense acct. special – went with co. group for dinner. busy, noisy, popular steak house, not sure how they will do with smoking ban. but the lamb chops medium rare & 2 1/2 lb lobsters tenderly steamed were superb! other entree's just ok, some steaks came out overdone for colleagues. sides are large good for group. The SUM IT: great if you're on expense acct. but wouldn't come on my own wallet.
worst experience – We had reservations for 8:30 but were made to wait an hour and a half!! Asked the maitre 'd when we could be seated but everytime we asked, all he said was "wait a minute". The waiting game seemed to be geared soley towards making customers pay for expensive drinks. Regulars and those who were friends of the maitre 'd were obviously given preferential treatment. All in all, the Maitre 'd was really rude and snobbish toward the waiting customers. The food wasn't that great either...
