Review: LINCOLN SQUARE STEAK on the Upper West Side Introduces Wonderful Family Style Dining

Lincoln Square Steak is regarded as a top steakhouse on the Upper West Side and we like that it's just a few blocks from Lincoln Center. Their spacious bar and lounge with live piano music is ideal for drinks before or after the show and they offer a delightful three course prix fixe from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm daily, just right for pre-theatre meals. And now, they have launched a new dining feature for their guests. Their Family Style Italian menu that serves two or more makes getting your group together a total pleasure.

We stopped by on a Tuesday night. The elegant, yet comfortable venue and gracious service makes your visit memorable. We had the opportunity to meet Bruno Selimaj, the renowned New York City restaurateur who owned the legendary Bruno Restaurant for 30 years. Lincoln Square Steak is his latest venture, one that is pleasing New Yorkers and many more.

We decided to order selections from their Family Style Dinner, a real crowd-pleaser. You can just sit back, relax and share generous portions, wonderfully presented. Start with items like their perfectly seasoned Baked Clams. We also had the classic Caesar Salad with crispy romaine lettuce and just a touch of anchovies for flavor. Appetizers also include Mozzarella Tomato & Basil or lightly Fried Calamari.

There's a nice selection of family style entrees that include Chicken Parmesan with Rigatoni Vodka, Linguini with White Clam Sauce, Lasagna, Beef Tenderloin Meatballs, and Eggplant Parmesan. We enjoyed the tender Chicken Parmesan served with creamy Rigatoni Vodka. One of our favorites, Linguini with White Clam Sauce is made with the freshest clams served over al dente pasta. Meals can be complemented with sides like Sautéed Spinach, Sautéed Asparagus or Mac & Cheese.

Guests may always select from Lincoln Square's outstanding traditional steakhouse fare that includes the raw bar, tempting appetizers, prime dry-aged steaks, chops, seafood, and an array of side dishes.

Put the finishing touches on your meal and save room for dessert. Relax with coffee, tea or an aperitif and relish luscious, authentic Italian treats like their cannolis, cream puffs or tiramisu.

Lincoln Square Steak presents an excellent beverage program with drinks that can be perfectly paired with meals. Artisanal cocktails include stirred selections like The Dakota with Michter's Rye, Green Chartreuse, Carpano Antica and Nonino Amaro. Or sip shaken varieties like the Ruby Slipper with El Buho Mezcal, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Pomegranate Juice and Jalapeno Syrup. They also have an impressive wine list by the glass or bottle and a nice selection of draft and bottled beers.

Great food and drink and the finest service in a beautiful venue. What could be better? Lincoln Square Steak will soon become one of your go-to restaurants on the Upper West Side.
