I'm a little sad when writing this review, as Hy's use to be my favorite restaurant in the city.
To be honest, I'm not sure if Hy's is slipping, or the rest of the city's meat purveyors have stepped it up a notch.
My Caesar salad (made table side) was nearly not edible. It might have been too much garlic or anchovies or both, but it just wasn't good. The steak I ordered was over cooked and I have a. Hard time believing it was the "prime" cut the restaurant says it was. For a filet it was rather tough.
I still love the ambiance of the old style steak house, in this case set in an old bank, but it isn't enough to make up for mediocre food.
I'll stick to Jacobs and co or STK when I'm in the states.
