It is now 2024, not the 1960s, yet many of those dishes, while perhaps not as fashionable as they once were, are still very much timeless in a way. We put the Press Club Grill beef wellington recipe to the test, alongside its steak frites and sticky toffee pudding, and see if the 1960s Mad Men style restaurant does these classics proud!
Is The Press Club Grill among the best steaks in New York City? Or is it all just overrated hype due to the celebrity associated with the restaurant? We'll find out together!

This is a "I ate here so you don't have to" review. Thank you
-
It's refreshing to have an honest food reviewer who doesn't say that everything is amazing. Keep the content coming. You do a fabulous job UA!

Brutal review, keep them coming UA

120 dollars for what amounts to a 10(?) ounce filet, mushroom duxelles, some gray looking prosciutto, and puff pastry? That's absurd.
-
Not cooked to temp at all. Of course it's chewy, it's raw. Lol
-
When you're paying $120 bucks you want to be overwhelmed, not underwhelmed .

That wasn't rare that was straight up basically blue. The only difference is that I'm sure that center was a little "warm" but everything else was just like you said. There is no chef in the world that would look at that and go "Medium Rare, yup." Also if they have to cover the flavor of the steak with a Gravy it's not a good steak, just like you said. And the steak is tough because they didn't put it back on the grill they just freaking microwaved it which is why it was so chewy. That's a crime for as much as that steak was.

Thank you for the review! The honesty and the best effort to give into this review was amazing. Keep it going UA!

Great review. I won’t be going here! They need to figure it out soon or they’ll be out of business. You took one for the team UA!

I love your channel UA. It’s all really really honest reviews and I love it

I’ve sent back a steak twice in 35 years for severe over or undercooking , but when I did, I asked for a new steak, as you should have done. A great steak needs to rest before it is cooked, and that’s impossible when the steak you sent back was already cut. Whoever cooked the steak had no clue. He/she seared on each side, only flipping once, which left the interior raw. A steak like that should be flipped often so the heat penetrates the meat evenly — it literally takes six minutes total for a hanger steak — then rested so the center continues to cook and reach medium-rare.

Such a fun video. The sound was good. I like hearing the "natural" ambiance while you gave your opinion. Feels like we all there with you! Not the best food but the video you made out of it was quality!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

As a fellow non-alcohol drinker, it might fun to add NA cocktails to your reviews if the restaurant has them!

Hooray UA! You finally changed the background music on your videos. I find this music very soothing, and it matches going to sake restaurant. Your review was very honest and I’m sure many of your viewers don’t live in the NYC area will avoid this restaurant like the plague. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more of your reviews.

Great review. I think you showed expertise that may not have come through with a better restaurant. Your explanations were excellent and I liked how you went through the menu with us.
-
You need to go to Christos in Astoria. Great chars on their steaks and cooked to perfection.
-
This place kinda blows. There’s zero excuse for a steak to come out like that in an empty restaurant smh
-
Good afternoon, UA. Can you do a review on Gage & Tollner in Brooklyn? I like your honest opinions. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
