"Terrific main courses help you refocus. The Steak au Poivre is the kind of dish I’d usually mock. But when a Flintstones-sized cut of meat arrives this carefully cooked, and it’s accompanied by a haystack-high pile of fries, it’s hard to kvetch."

Pauline Frommer

"Open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, it’s the place to come for perfectly executed French classics (like steak au poivre)."

Affinia Hotels

Cynthia Correa

"This long-standing Soho bistro is known for being one of the top restaurants in the city—and a bite of their traditional steak au poivre proves why. The classic French dish is served with a creamy peppercorn sauce and accompanied by baby spinach and crispy pommes frites."
