    Server was great at first but then we never saw them again. Did not receive bread or drink refills the entire meal. I did complain about the service and was helped by the manager at the end of the meal. Would not return if I only had a few days in NYC but good food and value if you need somewhere to sit and eat.

    The pre-fixe menu for the steak is an amazing deal! The steak was juicy and flavorful with an amazing sauce. The fries were crunchy and well seasoned also. The two round of steak for $35 is definitely worth it. There was a short wait (~10 mins) although we had a reservation but it was understandable because we did go on a Saturday night at 8pm. I will definitely be back.

    Elijah was our waiter, he was wonderful!! I’ve been to 3 of their locations and every staff member was so over the top with service, kudos to management. The food here is always perfect. The bathrooms make me laugh each time I am here. So if you haven’t been here yet, give it a try. You’ll love it!!

    Medium Rare is a new gem on 3rd Ave. I have been to this location 3 times and it has always been perfect. The food is wonderful and the service outstanding. Our waiter tonight was Jimmy. He made sure we had the best experience!! Looking forward to the next time.

    Great value, 2 servings of steak and fries. Not the best cut of steak but delicious. Medium rare was a little more than rare than expected. Their sauce was good as well. The slice of chocolate cake is a big portion, great to split! Enjoyed the experience, would come back!
