Hy's Steakhouse & Cocktail Bar

“the server immediately knew which dishes could be prepared gluten-free and walked me through modifications for the salmon. kitchen handled my restrictions perfectly and the dish arrived with this beatiful herb crust that didn't sacrifice any flavor for accommodation”

“teh bread service automatically comes to every table which is a small reminder of what i'm missing. would appreciate if they asked about dietary restrictions before bringing out that tempting basket solid”

“def saturday brunch here is an event - the eggs benedict with smoked salmon was perfection with hollandaise that had jsut the right tang and poached eggs that broke beautifully over house-made english muffins. the mimosa flight let me sample four different fruit combinations”

“service gets noticeably slower during weekend brunch rush, our table waited like nearly 20 minutes between ordering adn getting our first round of drinks”

“the contrast in their surf & turf was honestly magnificent - filet had perfect sear creating textural contrast between caramelized crust & smooth interior while lobster was sweet & springy which made each bite interesting”

“lowkey mashed potatoes were disappointingly gluey tho - over-whipped to paste at that point & lost all fluffy texture”

“their espresso martini is absolutely divine - perfectly balanced with rich coffee notes that don't overpower the vodka. the bar program here rivals dedicated cocktail lounges and the bartender clearly knows their way around coffee-based drinks”

“the regular coffee service is surprisingly weak for such an upscale place. my post-dinner americano was thin and lacked the robust flavor you'd expect from a restaurant with this caliber of cocktails”

“ok so they dont technically do brunch but their weekend lunch has eggs benedict that like rivals any brunch spot in the city. hollandaise was velvety perfect & canadian bacon was thick-cut & properly smoky”

“actually no mimosas on lunch menu tho - had to get a bloody mary which just isnt the same weekend vibe ya know”

“the plating at hyss is absolutely instagram gold ngl - their caesar salad comes tableside w like theatrical flair tossed right in front of u w aged parmesan curls cascading over romaine. presentation alone is worth going”

“yo lighting in the dining room is super dim tho which creates nice ambiance but makes food pics kinda hard without looking overly filtered”

“gotta say the lobster tail was spectacular - sweet firm flesh that got perfectly broiled w just butter & lemon brush. u could taste the ocean in every bite & the presentation w the classic cracker & picks felt authentically old-school”

“oysters on teh half shell werent as briny as i like tho - seemed like they were a day or two past prime freshness no joke”
