New Yorker Steak House (A30)

New Yorker Steak House. 148 Victoria Street, Christchurch.

Food. Food arrived pretty close to each other for a large table of 12 although a long wait. Being in a large crowd, sampled was every other item on the mains menu (including chicken and the salmon). Feedback from the table - the steaks were all done to order and plates were clean at the end of the meal. The kumara mash side is also worth a mention. Didn't get to dessert - read on below.

Environment & Service. Pretty comfortable place for dining from 2 to a larger crowd. You will dissapointed if you do not make a reservation especially on a weekend night. Our table did not get the hard-binded menus - only stapled pieces of paper. As with previous visits, service still needs improvement. It took three requests over 30 mins before the extra glasses were provided (and first carefs of water) - due to reservation error or a setting for 10 instead of 12. It took close to 90 mins before food arrived after the orders were taken. Some of the guests were fairly dissapointed when nobody came to ask how the meal was, if more drinks were required, or if anyone wanted coffee and/or dessert. Go to this restaurant with good company, but not if you are in extreme hunger and have a short temper.
