Rothmann's Steakhouse and Grill

There are so many Steakhouses in New York City it can be a difficult decision trying to decide on which one to go to on a given night.
Since I had been to Rothmann's in East Norwich, Long Island many times before, choosing to go to Rothmann's on 54th St seemed like a no brainer to me.
The New York City Rothmann's did not disappoint.
Rothmann's is completely different from many of the Old World New York City Steakhouses.
It is a sleek and modern looking restaurant where the service is as nice as the decor.
Since we ate on a holiday eve night I am unable to make judgment on how well reservations work on a busy Friday or Saturday, but on this night we were seated immediately.
After being seated we were greeted by a friendly waiter and ordered 2 glasses of $9 Pinot Noir.
The menu has more variety then the typical Steakhouse.
We started with a $15 Seared Tuna appetizer. It arrived quickly, and it was pretty good.
...Nothing spectacular but overall a nice size and good taste, then again we were not there for the fish.
Our main course arrived and it was a huge sizzling plate of meat.
We ordered the $75 Steak for Two and it was exactly what I expected. It was cooked perfectly, medium rare and was as large as the biggest Steak for Two I have ever ordered.
The Steak was unbelievable, charred perfectly on the outside and medium rare on the inside.
The steak literally melted in your mouth.
We had a side of $8 Garlic Mash to accompany our Steak and that was very good also.
We washed the final pieces of steak down with another 2 glasses of wine, at that moment we realized Dessert was not even fathomable.
Throughout our meal the waitstaff was attentive and professional and we never felt rushed.
The total damage with 4 glasses of wine, Tuna appetizer, Steak for Two and Garlic Mash came to $146 without tip.
Rothmann's is a great Steakhouse with an excellent waitstaff that serves top notch food.
I highly recommend a visit when you are in the mood for some great steak.
