One restaurant that Vikki and I didn’t have time to try in
2012 was Strip House on 12th Street. This year we found they have a
location closer to where we were staying so we decided to go in for dinner.
Strip House Midtown is a large restaurant and bar spread
over 2 floors. Rich siren red walls adorned with original Studio Manasse prints
of 1930’s burlesque performers and decor that combines old world glamour with
modern style and sophistication. The large crystal chandeliers are quite
amazing.
We decided to sit upstairs and had a great waiter named Ray.
Something about him reminded me of a young Sinatra, he seriously would have fit
in with the Rat Pack. Our table overlooked the ground floor so we had a great
view of what was happening down there.

Menu and rolls with a glass of rose champagne:
We loved the little covers on the butters:
Gazpacho for our amuse:
Being a big fan of Surf and Turf I couldn’t resist choosing
it, along with Striphouse Steak Sauce. The prawn was the largest we have ever
seen, almost the size of a marron, the steak was a classic fillet.
Vikki went for the Kobe striploin with caramelised soy, yuzu
and radish salad. The caramelised soy was very good, sweet and salty, the salad
of radishes and yuzu really cut through that saltiness. We added a side of
garlic and herb chips to go with our steaks.
Of course you can’t visit New York without having a New York
Cheesecake. This was a huge slice of cheesecake and we were so glad to share
it. Served simply with a berry coulis.
We were very happy to be able to dine at Striphouse this
year and look forward to going again next time we are in Manhattan. We might try the 12th St restaurant for our next visit.
