Profile

The definitive old-school Meatpacking District steakhouse, complete with a tacky cow sculpture out front, the now-shopworn Old Homestead has seen better days. But it still serves up some of the best steaks in town, and the experience is inimitable. Who knows, with the resurgence of this neighborhood as a destination for diners and revelers, the Old Homestead may someday soon be rewarded for hanging on all these years. — Steven A. Shaw

Extra

Old Homestead was one of the first American steakhouses to serve Japan's fabled Kobe beef.

Thought we would try Old Honestead after all these years, and what a BIG disappointment. The service was subpar as well as the food. A real shocker was the guests...all tourist and getting ripped off for food that has been "pre prepared." I asked for spinach to be steamed not creamed and was told all the food has already been prepared early in the day.....SHOCK! I am used to STK, Craft, Strip steak houses where you get food prepared for you. All the food had heavy cream sauces or grilled in butter...UGG. what a waste of money. Plus, I got sick during the night from the tuna appetizer.

My latest visit to Old Homestead came very close to being a disaster. While walk-ins were being accommodated, we had to wait for a table even though we had reservations. We were seated 15 minutes late. Then we waited another 15 minutes for a waiter to show up at the table so we could order drinks. It took 45 minutes from the time we placed our order until our salads arrived!!! The prime rib showed up another 45 minutes later. When a maitre d' finally came by to ask if everything was okay, I told him about our experience and he offered free dessert which we declined so he offered to take the first round of drinks off the bill. It was never removed and we had to wait another 15 minutes for them to find him. We were never brought a basket of bread nor a wine list. The two stars are for the food which was delicious. The rest of the experience was a disaster. What a way to spend Valentine's Day.
