From the moment you step through the doors, the meticulously reimagined interior commands attention — sultry lighting, generous table settings, and an air of understated sophistication in every detail. The cuisine rises effortlessly to the occasion: exquisite appetizers, a transcendent steak that was nothing short of perfection, and a wine and cocktail selection that speaks to a truly discerning palate. Impeccable service, delivered with warmth and grace. An evening I will not soon forget.
After spending $400+ on my meal I walked outside and was greeted by trash all over the sidewalk, especially in front of the building next door. That definitely detracted from the feeling of a special night out. Also, a 20% forced service charge is egregious, especially with such high prices.
Had a really great experience at this steakhouse and honestly, it just felt right from the moment we walked in. The place has a warm, relaxed vibe-not too fancy, not too loud-just a really comfortable setting to enjoy a good meal.<br><br>Service was excellent. The staff was friendly, knew the menu well, and made solid recommendations without overdoing it.<br><br>The steak was the highlight-cooked exactly how I asked, with a perfect sear and super tender inside. You can taste the quality right away. The sides were on point and paired really well with everything.<br><br>Overall, it's one of those places where everything just comes together-good food, good service, good atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd go back to and recommend.
We came here with a large group of friends, and I couldn't be more impressed with how the staff handled us. They were incredibly accommodating and made sure our seating and service were seamless from start to finish.<br><br>The food was absolutely delicious- everything came out perfectly prepared and full of flavor. On top of that, the service was amazing; our servers were attentive and professional despite the size of our party. If you're looking for a spot that combines a great atmosphere with top-tier food and service, Bordeaux Steakhouse is it. Highly recommend!"
Amazing amazing food. Try the aged steak, butternut squash soup, cauliflower and cigars
4.5 Stars ⭐️- this kosher steakhouse always delivers a quality meal. Been here 3 times and loved it each time. I wish the prices were realistic though 🧐🤨.<br><br>ATAYEF Appetizer - lamb shank with steamed sweet pancake wraps and pickled root vegetables and hummus & schug. ONE OF THE BEST DISHES I HAVE EVER EATEN. Lamb was tender and falling off the bone.<br><br>Dry aged cowboy steak for two - 45oz, sliced and served with Steak fries and garlic spinach. Perfectly cooked.
We came following friends’ recommendation, and it was an incredible experience.<br>The restaurant is beautiful, with a refined atmosphere and elegant seating.<br><br>Starters included a perfectly dressed Caesar Salad, flavorful Beef Tartare, and a Short Rib Taco bursting with taste. We were also treated to delicious meat cigars with two excellent dips.<br><br>For mains, we enjoyed a 6-week dry-aged entrecôte, a surprise steak that was tender like butter, and a prime rib that stole the show. All cooked to absolute perfection.<br><br>Desserts, chosen by the chef, were outstanding – a rich chocolate soufflé, a dairy-free mille-feuille style cake, and a refreshing lemon treat.<br><br>The attentive chef, relaxed atmosphere, and top-level food made this an unforgettable dining
Ambiance ✅ excellent service! Jamal and entire staff very friendly and accommodating, food was flavorful and tasty
Very good food. The candied bacon appetizer and Ceasar salad are very good. The short rib app was mediocre at best and was dry and somewhat tasteless. The lamb chops are excellent if you like on the fatty side, and smoked ribs were very good. For drinks we got a spicy drink (very spicy) which was delicious and strong, and another sweet purple drinks, it was too sweet. We also got the brain damage shot which was very strong and tasty.
Went for our anniversary. We put that it was our anniversary in the comments when making a reservation but they didn't acknowledge that we added anything, which was a little disappointing.<br><br>Aside from that though, the food and service was great. We had the gnocchi app which had lots of meat and sauce. For dinner I got the pepper crusted steak and and the beef Wellington. The pepper steak was delicious and came with a side. The beef Wellington was also incredible but didn't include a side. For dessert we got the perfect couple, which was a hazelnut dessert and soooo good! Would definitely come back.
This place had very good food. My wife and I personally weren’t such big fans of the liver but the Smoked Ribs were DELICIOUS! The reason I gave four stars and not five, was for our experience at the place (not food). We were seated in the back which was great, thought we’d get some quite there, but boy were we wrong! Two tables down sat two women (who were clearly intoxicated) talking and laughing loudly, and to our surprise, the two hosts that night were encouraging it and laughing with them as well and continued throughout our time there. It’s was very unprofessional and disturbing to our evening as well as to the couple next to us. A really shame to be honest…
I recently dined here and overall, I had a positive experience. The food was delicious, with perfectly cooked steaks and sides that complemented the meal nicely. The atmosphere was also elegant and sophisticated, providing a great dining experience.<br><br>However, it's important to note that the prices at this steakhouse were quite high. While I understand that the cost of dining at a high-end steakhouse can be expected to be on the higher side, I did find myself taken aback by the price of the meal.<br><br>Despite the cost, I still believe that the quality of the food and the overall experience were worth it. If you're looking for a special occasion restaurant or have the budget for an expensive meal, I would definitely recommend this steakhouse. However, if you're on a tighter budget, it may not be the best option for you.<br><br>Overall, my experience at this steakhouse was excellent in terms of the food and atmosphere, but the cost is something to consider before making a reservation.
Celebrated a birthday with a large party and had the most amazing experience! The service- Yair rocks! The food- mouthwatering! Chef Mendel - we cant wait to be back! Highly recommend this place. Every single dish was cooked to perfection (and we pretty much had every item on the menu)
I ate here for the 1st time this week and I was blown away by every dish I tasted. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were super helpful and friendly. This is definitely not my last time there. I have found my new favorite place.
