Best steakhouse in New York City

Dec 2019 • couples

This was our second visit here and after claiming it was my favorite steakhouse, it solidified my opinion. All of the food here is amazing. The thick cut bacon is outrageous and cooked perfectly. It isn’t cheap by any means, but I would highly recommend it.

Very good meat, wines and service!

Dec 2019 • none

We went to dinner here with friends and had a very nice evening. The service was very good and the meat was cooked to perfection. The wine selection wasn't as big, but put together very well and absolutely sufficient. The only negative point to mention were the prices of the sides, which I personally found to be a little bit too pricey.

An Enjoyable Night with our Teen Granddaughter

Apr 2023 • none

My wife and I and our 14 year old granddaughter visited DeStefano's at the end of our recent stay in Brooklyn. We'd been there several years ago with our older granddaughter, who had asked to eat at a steakhouse, and that experience was more than enough to bring us back. Our second visit was as good as the first. Our younger granddaughter told us she was not much of a carnivore, but she very much enjoyed the meal nonetheless. We started with a caprese salad and went on to the 24 ounce ribeye, creamed corn and creamed spinach. Each was excellent. We ordered the steak medium rare, and it came just as ordered. Both sides were perfectly fine. Service was friendly and professional. DeStefano's was not inexpensive, but by New York standards the meal was certainly well worth the price. It deserves a five star rating.

Family run steakhouse

Jan 2023 • none

I was delighted to get last minute, Friday night reservations in this understated Williamsburg steakhouse. Family run, with photographs everywhere, the casual atmosphere and friendly staff were a delightful prelude to a surprisingly special dinner. My husband raved about the onion soup while my son and I shared a typical Ceasar salad. When I asked if the cold, generous portion of Italian bread could be warmed, our waiter brought back oven-warmed, crisp on the outside/warm on the inside bread from the bakery across the street! My Native Lobster Ravioli was very good. My son and husband's Porterhouse for Two was amazing. The picture on the website almost doesn't do it justice. They raved about it and finished every morsel. We didn't have any room left for dessert. We will return.

Best steakhouse ever

Sep 2019 • couples

Dim lighting, no big crowd no long waiting. Make a reservation for pure food joy. Appetizers are small meals. Crab cakes and shrimp cocktail hit the spot before heaven arrived in the form of the main entree. Steak cooked to perfection, and mouth watering. We were stuffed and satisfied, and yes we had dessert as well....yum!

Overpriced and Overrated

Nov 2024 • family

Had reservations & arrived on time but had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. The waitress was very good and the selections of salads was just ok as we got the roasted beet salad which was just ok. We got the crabcakes as an appetizer which was delicious. The hard rolls were hot and good. Both couples order the 24 oz bone-in ribeye med-rare. We drank 2 bottles of spring water at $9 a bottle with our meal (which was ridiculous) but had to if you wanted cold water as NY restaurants specialize in tap water(cheap). and one person got 1 mix drink. (Come to Virginia and you get ice water free with every meal) The steaks were for the most part (in the middle) was cooked correctly but a good portion was overcooked. We got the home fries which were very good and the creamed spinach was ok. Walked out with a $464.00 bill!

Best in Nyc - hands down

Nov 2022 • family

New York is full of steakhouses which are of an extremely high quality. Destefanos in Brooklyn is the best I’ve been to in 25 years of visiting New York. Don’t be fooled by the decor.It’s intentionally modest, and only a few years old. No need for a $4M fit out here. Just extraordinary food and service. The bacon starter is a must, and the quality of the steaks sublime. Forget Cut, American Cut, Delmonicos etc. go to Williamsburg for an experience you will never forget.

Classic steakhouse experience

Sep 2023 • family

DeStefano's is a small steakhouse at Brooklyn's rapidly gentrifying Williamsburg neighborhood. Decor is quaint and old-fashioned but tablecloth shows sign of wear. Menu is the simple steakhouse offering. Crab cake is crunchy with a rich, tasty aioli dressing. Porterhouse is solid but not outstanding. Seasoning is on the mild side. Creme brulee cheesecake is a fair dessert. Service is fine and price the typical fine dining level.

Nice Steakhouse

Feb 2020 • couples

This steakhouse came recommended and it was a nice experience. Food was plain and simple. No fuss. It was not as good as Keens in NYC but a close second. Steaks were well cooked and flavoursome. Staff were excellent. Thought that the atmosphere was a bit lacking but food made up for it.

Perfect

Jul 2023 • couples

What a nice relaxing place. The bartender was friendly and greeted us immediately upon entering. We were early for our reservation so we had an appetizer and a drink at the bar. The appetizer was short rib rolls, just awesome. Got to try them. Once seated our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We had the PorterHouse for 2 and Pear, Arugula and Pancetta Salad. Everything was prepared to perfection. Desert was Chocolate Trilogy which was the perfect ending.

Best steak in Brooklyn

Dec 2023 • family

This was our first visit to New York and we’ve chosen De Stefanos from the web after good reviews. Food was up to perfection. We ordered ribeye on bone and fillet mignon. Meat was so tender and juicy cooked to perfection. Our waiter: Christian was professional so friendly person. It was an excellent experience in Christmas days. If it happens to visit New York back again I would definitely come back again

Excellent dinner experience.

Feb 2024 • couples

The Porterhouse for 2 was delicious. Tender and flavorful. Caesar Salad and Creamed Spinach were perfectly prepared. We enjoyed the atmosphere....felt like a smaller family experience, as opposed to some of the larger steakhouses in the area. It depends what kind of mood you are in. We enjoy both types of atmospheres. Out server, Christian, was excellent. Didn't miss anything, while being relaxed and friendly. We will definitely eat here again when in Brooklyn.

Steaks galore.

Aug 2023 • couples

If you don’t know about this place then you’re missing something. I bring friends here from out of town and they always leave impressed. The steaks are dry aged and as good as it gets. The way you ordering is the way you get it. The sides are all excellent. The service is top notch and not just because I am a regular. This is a Manhattan caliber restaurant in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

24 Oz. Ribeye Rare Cold

May 2022 • family

Ribeye Rare Cold 24 oz of very unique deliciousness. Creamed Spinach was like a casserole. Very different from typical creamed spinach. Great experience for steak lovers.
