Monterey is an elevated steakhouse experience in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Rockefeller Center and the historic St Patrick's Cathedral. Enjoy classic steakhouse dishes with modern American touches, all served in a vibrant setting. Building on the best of the city's time-honored steakhouse tradition, Monterey's dusty pink banquets, crisp white tablecloths, and culinary theater evoke the golden age of New York City dining.

    Always something is wrong when I visit this place. Untrained staff or lacking common sense. The food arrived late (1h late), some of my guests received the wrong dish and it took forever to get the bill. A business lunch turned into an uncomfortable 3 hour sit down unnecessarily. I would definitely skip this place next time.

    Our first time dining at Monterey. We shared a Caesar salad and had two of the best steaks in my life! We shared a soufflé for dessert to end this wonderful meal.

    We had the best meal we’ve had in a restaurant in a very long time. Every dish we had was delicious and prepared just right. Service was great and the ambience was relaxing yet upbeat and refreshing.
