    Wanted to go there for dinner? Think twice. This is probably not a good idea. Unless you are ok with misogyny, social discrimination and unethical sales methods. Be ready to get offered a ton of stuff you don't want, and be ready to get served a ton of stuff you did not order. But believe me, everything will end up on the bill. Refuse the starter platter. This is a scam. They will just pick and choose the most expensive starters on the menu. They won't even offer you the possibility to select what you want. When the waiter brings you to the aged steak shelf, take the time to look at the prices. When they are so badly written that you can't read them (on purpose, I guess), ask the waiter. Their aged steaks are horribly expensive and you will always be proposed with the most expensive one first. Then comes the side dish selection. You will order some, they will probably bring more. Some you did not order at all. You might then thing the additional ones are complementary - nope. They will appear on the bill. Moreover, the quality of the side dishes is average at best. But super expensive... Add to that the general attitude of the staff, which is properly disgusting. Especially if you're a woman. Or not white. Or if you don't show you're part of high social classes. Long story short, run away. There are 100x of places you should go in Munich. Not here.

    Steak is good but overpriced for the quality you’re getting. Kapitales Von Rind provides better value for money in Munich. That said, the quality of the other dishes (i.e. starters, sides and even the complimentary bread) were excellent, particularly their beef tartare.

    Enjoyed a good food. The meat was wonderful and very good quality. Side dishes good and different taste. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

    Great and super friendly service combined with superb food. Fantastic dry aged steak and very tender Iberico Pork Rips were on our menu today. The evening started however with a tuna tatar and a wild caught big shrimp. The food was accompanied by a nice Spanish Rioja and Gin Basil Smashes.

    Good as it should be. Definitely the only New York Steakhouse in Munich. Perfect advice on all aspects of meat. Patient staff. Unfortunately, the original version of US Dry Aged is not allowed in Germany. (See Wolfgangs or Peter Luger in NYC/Brooklyn). Nevertheless…..visit!

    The steak looks amazing, but I'm here to recommend the cocktails. Literally some of the best cocktails I've ever had, and I've been around. The basil gin smash, specifically, is to die for. If Konstantin is making drinks, get whatever he suggests - it will all be good.

    The steak was very good but I’ve also had better steak for less money IN LONDON!!! Not to mention the staff, who were very friendly, but a bit useless. I had to ask for a menu. Then separately ask for a wine menu. Then ask again if we could have some water. Not worth it, unfortunately. I feel bad for the waiters who were good. One customer came in and stormed off after not being given a menu after a while - I feel for him - I wish we’d done the same and gone elsewhere.

    Rather bad experience. Before being given a menu we were asked about aperitivo, after declining water was served, but we were not asked again about other drinks. We were not shown the meats, and had to look at it ourselves. Took the RibEye, but for 60€ without any sides, it was definitely not worth the price.

    A classic steak experience with dry age charcoal grilled steak and several types of artisinal gins and wines . The inside has a classic American steakhouse vibe and you tour the dry age fridge to pick your cut .

    Dry aged beef and pork ribs are very good! Stars for that. But still: What an overpriced place! Especially for the drinks. They asked for an insanely price. We spent 250 euro there and I ordered pork ribs and just one non alcoholic drink as I’m pregnant. I think for what I ordered it must be less than 50 euro. My husband had dry aged beef( 290g maybe) and several glasses of wine. They didn’t ask for 100ml or 200ml yet they charge us for 200ml. And it certainly looked like much less than 200ml. And for ordinary wine we ordered, 28 euro per glass? And a shot of Zacapa rum, 29 euro? Anyhow it was really not special and really too pricey for what it is( service also very so so). We tried this place out of curiosity but really a bad ideas. We always go to little London and will still stick to that place in future.

    Went for dinner last week. I must say it is some of the best service I have had in a restaurant. The whole team, and team is the right word here, were polite, attentive and on point. Add to that the fantastic selection of meats and the cooking and you have one of the best places for steak I've been to. Make sure you grab a cocktail to start as the Manhattan I had was top notch. I will definitely be coming back!

    Easily on of the best steak experiences I’ve had. Dry aged in house, different international cuts, all cooked to perfection. They even converted my wife to eating her meat rarer than she ever has before. Wines were amazing, even the by the glass options totally excelled. And I have to specifically point out that our server Samantha made the night shine. Easily one of the most knowledgable and enthusiastic servers I have encountered in Germany. Bravo. A REAL 5 stars

  • 4/5 Isabeau A. 1 year ago on Google
    Steaks and sides were soooo delicious, but especially the tartare was our highlight. Big portionsizes and very nice service. The only reason to only give 4/5 is the price shock. Payed 280€ for 2 with shared starter and no desert & only 2 drinks. For that a 6 course michelin dinner is doable ;) make it 180€ and we’d be regulars.

    Great service… enjoyed the team. We enjoyed picking our steak from lots of options all over EU… must try in Munich.

  • 5/5 Sebastian K. 5 years ago on Google
    Try out this place if you love red meat, they have quite a good selection. Be informed it's quite pricey and you better book a table 2-3 days in advance.

  • 4/5 Crazy F. 8 months ago on Google
    I started with the Beef Tea, a clear and well flavoured Consommé. I followed with a dry aged fillet; this had an intense flavour and was cooked perfectly. What wasn't so good was the service, the servers were very polite, but the service was slow and it took us a very long time to get anyone's attention. This also unfortunately also made the place feel like it was lacking energy. The steak here is exceptional. It's just a shame that the rest of the experience didn't quite match. That said, I will go again. Maybe they were just having a sub-par night.

  • 4/5 jenifer g. 7 months ago on Google
    The food was good but for that price i have find better taste. On the other hand the personnel are kind and amazing. With a lot of good vibes. Definitely will go again because is rate to find in Germany good service.

  • 5/5 David S. 6 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    The ambience is good, obviously getting a bit noisy on a Saturday night. The food is excellent, from the beef or tuna tartar (super fresh and well seasoned) to the steaks. We had fresh cuts, but the dry aged steaks look very inviting! The side portions are quite generous, so you won’t leave the restaurant hungry! ;-) Great choice for steaks in Munich!

  • 5/5 Klara S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and great staff. Nice atmosphere. Definitely for special occasions since it is pricey but totally worth it

  • 5/5 Karoly C. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best dining experiences ever. Attentive, knowledgeable team, amazing steaks, drinks and great vibe. Special thanks to the lady who guided us during our dinner!

  • 5/5 Ciaran F. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was out of this world tasty and the service, although slow to start with, were incredibly attentive and informative. The recommendations they made, in particular regarding cocktails, were very well received and made our evening even better. Big praise goes to Samantha, who served us with a smile and very friendly manner not often experienced in German restaurants. Would highly recommend for a special occasion. It ticks all the boxes. Thanks a lot!
