It was all good for us last week at Amber. My steak was cooked perfectly. My wife and our friends didn't have steak, and enjoyed their dishes, although the wife's duck could've been more flavorful. The creamed spinach was incredible. Cheesecake was excellent. read more

The steak at Amber is unbeatable. The steak is so flavorful and buttery. It comes out on sizzling on a plate. The appetizer portions are shareable and always fresh and hot. The service is quick even when the restaurant is busy. The menu has so many options for steak as well as appetizers. The restaurant has a cozy feel and we always enjoy our meals. read more

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 5 Overall: 6 Let me start by saying that Amber Steakhouse does not compare to some of the best steak houses in Manhattan simply because they are using an inferior prouct. Instead of prime grade 28+ days dry aged beef like most of its competitors, they are offering Angus choice quality beef dry aged for only 21 days. With that said, their prices are slightly lower than Manhattan restaurants. Our 48oz porterhouse is about 3/4 the price of the most famous steak houses in the city. At the same time, it costs more than Peter Luger in Brooklyn, so not such a great deal after all? Considering it's choice grade, I would say value is not quite there. I rather pay a bit more for quality. Three of us shared a medium rare porterhouse recently. It had a nice seared crust, but was a little bit under seasoned. The other issue is that there was a large ring of brown underneath the crust, while the center of the steak was still pretty rare. It wasn't a bad steak, especially for the price. However, the question is would I rather pay more and eat a better quality steak? I think the answer is "Yes". As for the appetizers and sides, I enjoyed the smoky grilled octopus and the tender scallops. However, the Caesar salad was really weird, with a sauce that tasted more like Russian dressing. Our side of sautéed mushroom & spinach was decent, but the portion size is tiny for the price. Anyway, if you're looking for a decent steak house with reasonable prices, this may be a good option. However, don't come here if you're searching for the best steak in the city. For that, I recommend spending a little more for a better steak house. read more

This has to be one of the worst steakhouses in NYC. The social media videos is just all hype, don't be fooled. The old wilted salad, uncooked scallops, under cooked and flavorless steaks, and underwhelming sides are what you are in store for. I thought well, it's a steakhouse house so it's all about the steaks right? Well that was definitely not the case. Ordered the porterhouse medium, when I told the server who apparently is also the manager (I learned later) he said it comes rare to medium rare and cooks in the hot pan. What???? There was not a single dish that was actually good! It was clear that we didn't enjoy any of it and and our so friendly server/Manager could careless. I would avoid the hype of this place. read more

I wanted to have steak before our concert that was nearby. I'm so glad I came to Amber! It's a traditional steakhouse and the moment you step in you smell the delicious aroma of buttered steak. The service was top -notch. Extremely attentive and nice. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and they even make their own steakhouse. I also judge a steakhouse by their baked potato and they did not disappoint. It was baked perfectly and fluffy. They also have many other items on the menu. Their martinis were good too! I highly recommend Amber! read more

A Truly Unforgettable Experience, Thank You, Michal! We've lived in Greenpoint since the '80s, but recently sold our home and moved to Harlem. After seeing so many TikToks about Amber and being both locals and lifelong steak lovers we had to check it out. From the moment we arrived, Michal made our visit unforgettable. The service he delivered was unmatched, truly elevating the entire experience. Our drinks were perfectly crafted, but the highlight for me was the beef tartare. With one bite, I felt like I was dreaming it tasted exactly like my dad used to make it. That kind of memory, through food, is rare and priceless. The steaks? Cooked to absolute perfection. Every one of them. We still talk about this visit and now rank our steak spots because of it. Here's where things stand: 4 Charles Amber Keens Peter Luger Blackstones (Norwalk, CT) Hawksmoor Delmonico's (we got married there--but sadly, our last visit ended our love for it) I was torn between giving the #2 spot to Amber or Keens, but Michal tipped the scale. His attention to detail and warmth made the night special. We'll absolutely be back no doubt about it. read more

Amazing place for a date night or a family gathering at a white cloth restaurant! Definitely fancy and old school I really enjoyed coming here before and now I came here for more! I remember enjoying their scallop appetizer with avocado mashed potatoes which was super creamy. This time I ordered the mussels and it did not disappoint. All of the mussels had no dirt or sand at all and the red sauce was divine. I also ordered the arugula salad with pear and it was sweet and salty and perfectly done! I'm a big salad fan and also my partner isn't into onions but they have really thin sliced ones so it won't really be as noticeable. The steaks were incredible- the filet Mignon was super buttery and rich. We also got the ribeye and that was super tasty as well. Funnily enough we ordered some pickles with it which were good but just placing it out here it was $10 for a side of pickles. I the crème brûlée to finish the meal off and it was gigantic and the torched top of it was really crispy and the cream inside was yummy and fresh. Espresso is $5. Everything came speedily and service was really nice and I appreciated the servers as they made sure we were well accommodated. All in all this is one of my favorite places to take my dates and friends and family. read more

My husband took me here for Valentine's Day dinner and it was quite a surprise. A solid steakhouse outside of Manhattan. Located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Parking can be tough. There's street and metered parking. We ordered 1/2 dozen oysters and a salad to share. The oysters were very fresh. For entrees, we both ordered the bone-in ribeyes and it was a perfectly cooked medium rare with a nice char all around. For sides, we had the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. I wish the sides were a little bigger. The mash potatoes were good but the creamed spinach was just okay. They also had a good wine list. read more

What a pleasant surprise. I'm a native New Yorker and have frequented the area many times in the past but how did I miss this one? I was there celebrating friend's birthday's and definitely will be back. The service was impeccable starting with the bubbly hostess and ending with the busboys and servers. The food surpassed my expectations. From the seafood to the sides and of course the bone in ribeye steak that was cooked to perfection. No extra seasonings or sauces were needed. Kudos to the kitchen staff and chef. I'm a fan and will share it to friends and family. Bon appetite. read more

Came here for Valentine's Day and place was poppin. I definitely recommend making reservations for the holidays because during prime time dinner hours there were no empty tables. The restaurant is pretty small and doesnt allow much space between the tables, but that is probably because they split out more tables for two for Valentine's Day. The hostess greeted us at the door and we were quickly shown to our table. The meal started with some warm onion bread and butter. Nothing special but warm bread is always nice. We had the scallops with avocado mash potatoes and that is a must have dish. The scallops were perfectly cooked and you can split them with a fork. The truffle sauce was a bit sweet but everything worked really well together. The french onion soup was standard but not really something I would order again. For the mains we ordered the bone-in ribeye and rack of lamb. Going to a high-end steakhouse you already expect the meats to be delicious and Amber's does not disappoint. The lamb chops were really tender and the chimichurri sauce compliments it well. The ribeye had a beautiful char but I wish it was seasoned a tad more. Creamed spinach was flavorful and the bacon mac and cheese can be a main dish by itself. Overall, dinner at Amber Steakhouse was a great experience. The staff was attentive and removed finished plates quickly and refilled drinks once they were getting low. I definitely do not regret coming here but at the same time it wasn't amazing enough that I think I would come back given the plethora of steakhouse options in NYC. read more

I had a great experience at Amber Steakhouse, I haven't tried any of the other iconic NYC steakhouses so I don't have any other steakhouse to compare it to but I chose Amber as the prices are slightly more affordable than Peter Luger and they had a few more unique menu options for a traditional steakhouse. They also were super accommodating as I had called last minute on NYE to see if they had any tables earlier in the day, they were able to schedule me in + accommodate as much they could because I had my baby with me. The servers were top notch, very attentive and hospitable. They took my coat for me, made a spot for my stroller and even assisted on coming in and out the restaurant with the stroller which was wonderful. There were a few other children in the restaurant so it is children friendly but still a quiet, calm environment. The only awkward thing is I had to put my stroller on the other side of the table so essentially I had to hold my baby while I ate instead of having her next to me in the stroller but understandable because I was in the walkthrough area. Arugula salad was a 9/10, it was light and slightly sweet and the cheese complimented the sweetness of the apples perfectly and the pepperiness of the arugula. T-Bone Steak: 8.5/10 it was delicious especially with the steak sauce, the steak had a great char the fat was rendered and crispy only downside was I asked for medium rare and I got more of a medium well but this is typical of most restaurants so I wasn't that disappointed but for a steakhouse you'd think they would be masters at cooking to the desired internal temperature. Scallop entree 8/10: instead of doing a traditional side I just got the scallop entree as my side the waiter was a little confused by that lol but I didn't want to load up on carbs + was craving scallops and the entree scallops sounded better than the appetizer scallop dish. The scallop entree was honestly wonderful, scallops had a Smokey flavor from the bacon, the bacon was perfectly crispy and the asparagus with the sauce paired perfectly. Lastly not pictured was the oysters 9/10 Oysters were Blue Point oysters, they were delicious the platter came with all the accoutrements (cocktail sauce, hot sauce, mignonette including freshly grated horseradish. I personally love a more briny oyster they were a hit for me especially with the horseradish. I personally will have to try the other popular steakhouses in NYC and Brooklyn to compare my meal at Amber to so I can accurately judge where they stand in terms of taste and quality but I enjoyed my meal and time at Amber and everything I ordered was delicious, it was a great way to end the year! read more

Wow! I was blown away by the food, ambience, and service at this gem of a find. Since we were celebrating my birthday, we really went for it and indulged. For appetizers, we knew we had to get the home cured bacon that is insane in every best way possible. It tasted like the best ham I have ever had and was a huge hit. We also shared the fried calamari, which was lightly coated in a delightful breading and served with a tomato sauce and a wasabi cream sauce that has a nice zing to it. We also had the scallops in a Madeira wine sauce over avocado mashed potatoes. The scallops were cooked to absolute perfection, the mashed so creamy and unique, and the Madeira sauce a nice sweet pairing to complement and tie all the flavors together. For dinner, my friend and I both had the steak and shrimp scampi special, however, he got the ribeye eye and I chose the filet mignon. Both were medium rare and from what our two friends said, we seemed really happy as we both were silent for a few minutes because it was just so very good. We ordered both roasted potatoes with caramelized onions and mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and gnocchi. My other friend chose the steak sandwich which was plentiful, to the say the least, and divine. Lastly, another friend ordered the Chilean Sea-bass and raved about it. We shared crème brûlée for dessert and it was good, very creamy with the most excellent crack of the sugar from pristine crystallization. read more

Amber is a very chill Steakhouse with friendly service, white table cloth tables, and they are open all day if you are feeling a craving for some steak and sides. I must say the accommodating for both my dad and I was great, and I haven't seen this before, that when we ordered a Rib Eye to split, I like mine Medium and he likes Well Done. So the kitchen cooked it Medium, we split up the portions, and brought the steak back to cook the rest Well Done, now that is service and hospitality. Great Polish beers, Onion Rolls, and Creamed Spinach was just alright. Overall, would recommend going to this place if you're in the neighborhood, just leave time for parking as usual. read more

I treated myself to a lovely dinner for Valentine's Day weekend and I'm glad I chose Amber steakhouse. The service here was nothing short of amazing. Greeted once walking in. Chair pulled out by my waiter. Told about all the specials and best recommendations. The ambiance gave a cute Italian cottage feel which I loved. The raspberry peach margarita was a must very well made refreshing and just the right amount of tequila. The fried calamari was also good the sauces they were paired with was a perfect match. The steak sandwich was flavorful but I did feel it could've been more steak inside it was mainly bread the fried were really good. The shrimp scampi was pretty good I just wish it had just alil more salt. Besides that I will definitely be back to try more of the menu I highly recommend. read more

We went Saturday 10/18 - 8 pm reservation for our 4th wedding anniversary and we can't wait for the next reason to come back . No crowd at all it was wonderful ,the atmosphere was quaint and quiet . Just enough to hear the person at your table Andrzej was our server , he was attentive enough to know when we needed him and when we didn't and that was something we love at establishments, so this was a plus . Especially since it was our anniversary and the table talk was that important. We started with the following drinks . And let me tell you the bartender did not disappoint. I had a French martini and I never had one and it was delicious , not too sweet and I'm not a raspberry girl but it was amazing . The hint of vanilla was amazing , I'd definitely order it again . My husband has Raspberry peach margarita , I would've liked it without raspberry but also delicious. Second round Peach cosmo , wasn't a fan too sweet just my taste but it was a good drink . Lynchburg's lemonade was almost like a Jack Daniel's Lemonade and it got the spot , so refreshing and not skimped on the alcohol either. Drinks service 10/10 Next was appetizers Caesar salad , now I read the reviews and still gave it a try and they were right . It has a hint of Russian dressing to it , was not a fan & probably wouldn't order it again . Didn't give the traditional taste to me . Calamari , yea give me 10 of them ,add some banana peppers and we got a deal . They were airy and light and the batter was delicious. Grilled bacon - This was a game changer for me , I'm going to need to order two next time . Yes that good , Smokey flavor and that sauce that came with it paired so well . Entree Porterhouse for two grilled to a perfection of medium rare , it was amazing. We made sure to take the bone home to our dog The char was perfection , it was sore tender even the day after We paired them with the lobster mac and cheese which was so tender juicy and decadent. And the roasted potatoes with onion and peppers , it gave off home fries vibes and I was not a fan . I expected roasted potatoes in half maybe with the skin still on. We ended the night with crème brûlée which had a faint hint of lemon that I was not a fan of and tossed the traditional taste out the window and the espresso ice cream which was decadent and delicious . The service was 10/10 Overall meal withe nuances 9/10 I'm definitely coming back ! read more

I'm not sure why people say this place is mediocre at best. It's pretty good and the service is great too.The wait staff was very attentive, funny, on point and patient. The place was filled on a Saturday night even when it was close to closing. I suggest making reservations, or you might be turned away if you walk in. For the food, it was great. I enjoyed it and it was so delicious. Ordered the burrata, which was delicious since it had this green pesto sauce on it. I've never had a burrata taste like that before. Ordered the rib eye with bone, and it's good for two people. If you want steak sauce, that comes on the side. The steak sandwich that comes with either salad or fries was tasty, too. I asked for a sweet red wine, and the waiter suggested one for me, which wasn't too sweet but still tasty. I don't like dry wines. Had to make room for dessert too. Ordered the cheesecake, which topped the entire meal off for me. Had to make room. I would like to go back one of these days again. read more

The 24oz Bone-in Ribeye was perfectly cooked to our liking and we added Foie Gras with it. Our server recommended Sautéed Spinach & Mushroom as side dish which was tasty.

Okay, I am on a steak tartare kick and saw this place offers it during the day, so this is why I booked this place. The service was good and FYI, they automatically add in gratuity no matter how many people are in your party in case you missed that on your receipt like I almost did. I didn't order any cocktails because I find steakhouses aren't great mixologists since it's more of a wine situation. Complimentary bread offering - appreciate the butter being soft, but the bread was cold. WHY? I want fresh warm bread. Calamari - one of the best calamari I had for a long time. Batter was perfect and good ratio. Steak Tartare - okay this was super disappointing. This didn't remind me why I love steak tartare. I wish I would have known it was ground not chunk. I hate eating ground tartare. It is not good at all. The texture just didn't cut it and neither did the taste. Very bland and needed texture. Salmon Tartare - bland as well, I asked for lemon to make it better. Mac & Cheese with Bacon - L loved this, so that's a win for me. Steak - forgot which type, but this was good. I would come back for the calamari, but none of the tartare. read more

I came here to celebrate Father's Day with my husband. We had a late 10pm reservation after rushing to put the kids to bed. Ordering was filled with pressure as the waitress stood over us like a hawk and was pretty pushy. However she did have a good recommendation with the martini. That was a great choice9/10. The calamari was sufficient 6.5/10. The steak was good 8/10. The lobster Mac had NO lobster in it the waitress asked if "I wanted to just be charge for no lobster or get the lobster Mac" I wanted what I ordered. It came out with bits of lobster drizzled throughout much better 7.5/10. The truffle parm fries were the best thing 10/10. The carrot cake was good too 9/10. Overall a good family vibe . read more

Hands down my favorite steakhouse in Greenpoint. I've come about 5-6 times in the last year. The food is phenomenal - I have two go to's. If I'm with someone also feeling the porterhouse for 2, that's my #1 option, it comes out searing hot, with boiling butter in the plate to soak up the flavor with the steak. This time, my fiancée was feeling a filet for a lighter night. She got the filet mignon and I got the 24 oz T-Bone. I've had the T-bone and the ribeye but tend to prefer the T-bone when given the option. You can't go wrong either way, the individual steaks are just as tasty. The calamari for an appetizer is great, as fellow Italians there's hesitancy ordering this when not at an Italian restaurant. But the hidden gem is the green sauce that comes with it, which is a wasabi based sauce and has a great kick. I got the French onion soup which is always delicious here. For sides, we went with the mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and bacon Mac and cheese. The bacon mac and cheese is a show of its own. Comes out in a cast iron skillet, and the cheese is boiling hot. It's not a super wet Mac and cheese, it's more on the thick side and it's unbelievable. Thick cut bacon mixed in, adds a nice touch. Mushrooms were also very good and well seasoned. The mashed potatoes are what you expect and didn't disappoint. For dessert, we went with our go-to the chocolate mousse cake. They have a bakery who only makes this for Amber Steakhouse. It's unreal, nice cold fudge top that you need to cut through to get to the mousse portion. It's unreal, if you like chocolate mousse, order it! You won't be sorry. Espressos, wine, beer on tap, and we even did a recommended drink called the Aloe Vera (tastes like a cucumber margarita and it was great, light, and refreshing). Lastly, let me shed some light on what makes Amber Steakhouse better than most (and I constantly entertain clients for fine dining)... Most steakhouses have a stuffy, elite feel, where your waiter is attentive but they are expecting big tips for mediocre service. NOT AMBER. My favorite waiter, now friend, Andre, is unbelievable. You cannot find enough "Andre's" in the world to replicate what Amber provides in the experience area. We didn't even sit in Andre's area last night, but he still took time to come over, ask how we've been doing, and we had a great conversation about more than just the food. Experience is key, that's what you pay for when you come to places of this caliber. I always leave a big tip here because they put so much effort into the experience portion and I feel it's my obligation to show my appreciation for a fantastic night out. Without the people, this review wouldn't be so positive. And that's every single time, all 5-6 visits. It's remarkable. Visit this place, have a conversation with the waitstaff, they are great people. Treat them with kindness, and they'll 10x it back to you in return. You walk away feeling no other restaurants do this properly. It's a nice feeling. Oh and lastly, on the topic of not a stuffy elitist environment, they are playing some great music in the background. Not overbearing, but some house music. Little Rufus du Sol, Kaskade, it's freaking awesome. Not classical crap that makes me feel like I'm on my deathbed eating my last meal. I'm sure the music is undervalued by most, but makes it a place I want to keep coming back to. If I'm asking what his playlist is at the end of the night, then the music was great. Thanks to Andre and the entire staff last night, you guys make it what it is. A spectacular dining experience. read more
