    Smoked Salmon
    Theron H.

    This was our first time trying VanHorns and it was a great experience! The reservation process was easy and we were able to be seated early. Inside the restaurant was very nice and organized as well as incredibly stylish. I liked how they had indoor and patio options for seating. The pancakes were AMAZING and the smoked salmon dish was also very delicious and savory. The pancakes didn't come with any protein so I got the eggs which were also pretty tasty. Special shoutout to our waiter Ryley who was very kind and attentive! Will 100% be back.

    We came to Van Horn's tonight for a belated Valentines dinner. Our reservation was cancelled because of rain in February- they do not have any coverings on their patio. It was also our anniversary and I appreciated the acknowledgement right away with some champagne. Nice touch. We ordered an old fashioned and a dirty kettle martini with bleu cheese olives. We started with the whipped ricotta- stunning. Amazing. No notes. Appreciated the extra bread with no upcharge. 10/10. For our meal- we went crazy and ordered the porterhouse for two, Mac and cheese, German potatoes, and the heirloom tomato and onion salad. Steak- 8/10. Cooked to perfection served in bubbling butter. Could have been slightly more tender and seasoned and presentation was not great. Mac and cheese- 9/10. I loved the shape of the pasta. Ours was perfectly baked and crusty but still cheesy and not dry on the inside. German potatoes- 6/10. They looked really burned on the outside and maybe that's normal but they were just shredded potatoes with a ton of sour cream. I mean, potatoes are great in general but wouldn't order again. Heirloom tomatoe salad- 4/10. The tomatoes were delicious and seasoned and the steak sauce wa oddly great with it. but the raw onions were so thick it was almost inedible bc no seasoning could penetrate that. For dessert we got the cheesecake- and I ascended. Will come back everyday for that cheesecake and homemade whipped cream. Best thing of the night. 100/10. Over the good: I thought the price for portions was pretty fair which I rarely say. Those sides were definitely bigger than other steakhouses around. Easily shareable with 3-4 people if you order a few. I also thought our server was lovely, knowledgeable and everyone was very attentive. They didn't rush you, and my water glass never got below half full. We didn't have to wait around for the check and dirty dishes were promptly removed. Oh and did I mention the cheesecake? The not so good: other reviews have mentioned this but the timing was way off. We were done with our appetizer before our first drinks came out. Our steak came a solid 5-8 mins before the sides. Even our server did acknowledge drinks were running very behind. And then unfortunately whoever designed the tables didn't anticipate big backs like us coming in because our table was not big enough for what we ordered. The porterhouse platter was massive and the servers struggled to get our sides on the table. Half my dinner plate was sticking off and I had to to be really careful it didn't flip. And my dirty martini was definitely NOT dirty but it was still so crisp and good I'll let it slide. I did not however, appreciate the $5 up charge for kettle. The biggest issue was the acoustics- it was LOUD in there. We could barely hear one another. As a New England girl, I loved the New York vibes and the aesthetic went a long way to making the experience. Ultimately you come to a restaurant for good food and good service and we got that and they made us feel special, so we will be back!

    Reservation for 6:45, arrived about five minutes early and the table was being cleared. They were very busy! Patio, bar and main dining room. I could totally get an NYC vibe based on the set up/decor which makes the inside feel older than it is. Was a tad on the loud side inside not a lot of softwears to dampen the sound. Wade took care of me and he was amazing! From his introduction and explaining the rationale behind their concept with an NYC vibe referencing Peter Lougers in NYC. (Haven't made it there yet). Wade was kind to recommend two wines and tried both. When the glass was delivered I tasted something was off and he replaced with the correct wine I ordered. Great service! Menu was a typical steakhouse but they did have a special for lent of arancini with scallops and shrimp I believe. Had a few other accompaniments that I can't recall. I ordered the Cesar salad and the ribeye with the creamy horse radish on the side. The Cesar salad was to die for, really it was the brioche croutons that are sautéed in the garlic butter from the shrimp scampi...then baked. OMG. Imma need them to sell those as a grab and go! Soooo delicious! Added on asparagus as I realized I needed some extra veggie and it was delicious too. Steak was cooked perfectly and they offered to cut the steak before arriving which I totally took them up on. All around great service and meal. I'll keep on the short list when I'm craving a good steak and salad combo.

    Mushroom entree

    Fantastic experience for dinner crew last night. We got: -whipped ricotta (get the extra bread!! You'll need it) -Caesar salad (made with anchovy, but no visible fish pieces) -creamed spinach (interesting Gorgonzola topping, so warning if you have any picky friends) -Mac and cheese (just as incredible as I remembered from their sister company Teddy's restaurant) -tomahawk (enough for 4) -mushrooms (it may look disappointing when it shows up as it's an entree... but let me tell ya, this was great) Service was on point from both our main waiter and others.

    We came here for an early afternoon brunch. We sat outside and enjoyed a lovely meal. The service was great, but the inside was loud and the reason for taking outdoor seating. We opened with monkey bread and it was amazing. Then our group had French toast, crabcake sandwich, and eggs Benedict. All of the meals were greatly enjoyed. We definitely would like to come back and try other items on the menu.

    A+ for aesthetic and decor! We loved the little details; the taxidermy, cozy seating, and oil paintings scattered along the walls. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the tasty cocktails and our meals (although chicken was a tad salty) and our bartender was great.

    Mac & Cheese

    Visit at VanHorn's on a weekday and it was still packed, so was excited to see what the hype was about. Indoor and outdoor seating, and reservations can be made in advance. We were seated upon reservation time. Wanting to know it is loud inside. It was pretty hard to have a conversation without hearing others as well. The tables are seated very close together. The menu features steaks, raw bar options, multiple different side dishes, and a full back menu of drinks. The service itself was great. Our water was constantly being filled and we were constantly checked on. The steaks did take a little to come out just because they were packed. No fancy presentation, but the steaks were cooked perfection. The sides is where it's at, the mashed potatoes were very buttery. The showstopper was a New York cheesecake. I will be back to VanHorn's for that alone.

    Receipt is brought in this little holder. Oh yeah, they gave us cheesecake for our anniversary.

    My wife and I went to VanHorn's for our anniversary dinner. I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. I loved the ambience. It has that fancy Manhattan steakhouse vibe, but is quiet enough to actually have a conversation with another person. We started out with drinks. My wife had an Aperol-based drink and I had a dirty martini. Our waitperson was so sweet. She checked on us several times. We had a Caesar salad as an appetizer. The salad was very good! They were doing a happy hour so I got the steak frites and fries. My wife had some sort of burger. Everything was ordered was amazing! I would highly recommend VanHorn's to anyone looking for a great place with incredible food. Now keep in mind, it is a $$$ place, but when it's your anniversary, it's okay to splurge.

    Tequila cocktail and espresso martini
    Lucy V.

    All right I think this is my new favorite steakhouse. You definitely need to make a reservation because this place is always busy. It is very small inside but it is so cute. Definitely a date night or girls night or just because you wanna go have a good steak kind of night. The host is and the waiters were so nice. They knew what to recommend and did such a great job and making sure we were always doing fine. Definitely need to come back and try a lot more stuff because everything just looked delicious but we did start off with the tuna carpaccio, which was amazing. It did not even taste like fish. It was perfectly made. We also got the steak tart and that was so good. It was marinated so well, and it came with little sourdough breads, which were delicious. After that for our main course, we did get in the bone and ribeye. We got it medium, and they cooked it to perfection. We also got the whipped potatoes which were so good. We couldn't stop eating them and let me tell you those beer battered onion rings are a must. They are delicious. They had a great selection of cocktails. I had to try out the espresso martini cause there was so many talks of how good it was and it did not disappoint. It was not overly sweet or overly creamy. It was just perfect. Then I also got a pink lady drink with vodka instead of gin and it was so good as well. Definitely this place is a 10 out of 10 in my books and I will keep coming back.

    First time trying this new steakhouse on 2nd. I was very excited for a steakhouse on the street I work! It has a very cosy feel to it and does feel straight out of NYC with the wood/red furniture. The cocktail program is perfect for a steakhouse and I really enjoyed my martini. We tried the house salad, NY strip, onion rings, and asparagus. The steak itself was a bit too fatty for my personal liking but we enjoyed it. The onion rings were delicious. I would definitely come back to try more on the menu!

    We came in on a Tuesday late afternoon so the restaurant was very quiet. Jeremy was fantastic. He was professional and friendly and offered insights on the food. Thank you Jeremy. All three of us had the New York strip. I had mine with au poivre sauce and hubby and son has theirs with chimichurri. We shared some whipped potatos (so yummy) and some grilled asparagus. The sides were delicious and the steaks were perfect. We will definitely be back on our next trip here.

    Tomahawk, steak, macaroni and cheese and their creamy whipped potatoes.

    Definitely recommend eating here at least once. The ambience was amazing. The staff was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious. Lol if you ever want to have a mob's wives party, this is the place.

    Miso cod, German potato's, filet
    Kristen R.

    I really wanted to love this place, unfortunately I probably won't return. The vibe is great - interior decor is stunning too. The service was okay - started out up (despite not being able to hear every other word) but by the end it was meh. We ordered the whipped ricotta, split a Caesar salad, the miso cod, and the filet (medium rare) with the German potatoes. To drink - whiskey sour and dirty kettle martini. Drinks - whiskey sour was okay. Dirty martini was okay. The drink itself good but not really "dirty" (Aris on west 6th does a great job of having levels to a dirty martini, and j carvers does the best "filthy" dirty) I got a second one and asked for it to be really dirty .. it was still the same but they gave me a side car of olive juice?? Still not great. But not the worst. Food - The whipped ricotta was a little thicker.Aba has the whipped feta and while not the same - the consistency is what I think of. This ricotta was thick. Caesar salad dressing was fantastic. Gem lettuce was cleans and crunchy. I think the croutons are home made & they were delicious. Miso cod - let down. The miso flavor was barely hitting. The plating was weird. Bok choy was the best thing on the plate. Filet - 8oz for 58 and it was good. Nothing to write home about. For $4 more you can get a FANTASTIC filet at two other steak places in downtown. It was different that the filet was plated on oil ... it didn't add any flavor or anything.. this could be a me issue. But I thought it was strange. The horseradish sauce was good and big portion. We skipped desert. I wanted to love the place but I don't see us returning - mediocre food at a $300+ tab. Save yourself and just go to J carvers or deans.

We had an appetizer version and it was incredibly tender, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. You can tell why it's what they're known for. The steak I ordered was made to order perfect, as I like it mad rare and mooing, but had heavy seasoning on it. Not sure if that is signature to Perry's, as I'd personally rather let a good cut of steak speak for itself. It took away from the natural flavor, so I'd ask for no seasoning next time. Between the ambiance, service, and overall quality, I would definitely go back.

They were having a private event so part of the patio was taken however they still had ample space for other patrons to enjoy the outdoor area.
