Siren-red walls and a collection of original Studio Manassé portraits of 1930s burlesque stars immediately establish the mood at Strip House. It's a bi-level space in the Theater District designed by the Rockwell Group to feel like a modern take on old-world glamour. The whole interior is wrapped in that deep red, with comfortable booths and crystal chandeliers creating a cozy and intimate, yet lively, atmosphere.
The core of the menu is classic American steakhouse fare, executed with precision. Steaks are the main event, all charred Pittsburgh-style, with signature cuts like the New York Strip, Porterhouse, and Ribeye served alongside sauces like béarnaise and au poivre. Before the mains, starters often include the Strip House Roasted Bacon or Tuna Tartare. Side dishes are a big part of the meal and arrive in generous, shareable portions – think Black Truffle Creamed Spinach, Lobster Mac & Cheese, and the decadent 1000-Layer Goose Fat Potatoes.
With its location, this Midtown spot is typically busier and noisier than its downtown counterpart, drawing a crowd for special occasions like anniversaries and celebratory group dinners. Reservations are almost always necessary, especially on weekends. The extensive wine list is heavy on Napa Valley Cabernets, built to stand up to the rich food. Almost every table finishes the night with a slice of the famous Strip House Signature 24-Layer Chocolate Cake.
