    From the time you walk in you receive upscale service. The servers are extremely knowledgeable and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing. The duck lasagna is a must try. The steaks were perfectly cooked and favorable. One of our drinks was not to our liking and without us even saying anything they basically begged us to change it. This is a mistake try restaurant.

    Fue una experiencia muy grata. Jazz, el encargado de los meseros, siempre estuvo pendiente de nosotros y fue muy atento y cordial. La comida estuvo excelente para el tipo y gama que es el restaurante.

    We wanted to have one nice dinner on our trip to New York and we certainly got it! The ambience (moody, cozy lighting), the food (most tender filet I’ve ever had), and the music (Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Blue Monday) were all on point. But what was truly exceptional and makes this place worthy of a visit was the service. Our server Jazz was the most knowledgeable and passionate server I’ve ever encountered. Do yourself a favor and ask him for a wine recommendation, he won’t disappoint!

    BMC is the best. Staff is always friendly and professional. The atmosphere is what you want in a NY steakhouse and the food is the best part. The octopus, tuna carpaccio and yellow tail crudo, all the steaks are amazing. Love every meal here. I crave it. Casual burger with fries with a cocktail at the bar is also a good option when solo.

    Fabulous place to celebrate my birthday dinner! They took superb care of us. Requested a booth and was given a booth. Food is second to none with matching service in a gorgeous setting. Was our first time but we will certainly return when back in NYC. Thank you for a lovely evening!

    We had an 8:45pm reservation and, while we didn’t mind waiting briefly at the bar, the delays continued throughout the night, slow service to take our order and a 45 minute wait for food. More concerning, both my boyfriend and I got sick after eating the creamed spinach. We confirmed this after bringing leftovers home, he ate it the next day and also got sick. For a place that looks so nice, the slow service and poor food quality were very disappointing.
