Two Midtown Steakhouses for Comparing Cocktails Before Choosing Dinner
Tabernacle brings Glatt Kosher steaks and sushi, while Carversteak adds table-side Old Fashioneds. Compare the rooms, then choose where to settle in for dinner.
🗺️ Locate the two dinner stops
🥩 Make kosher cooking the first filter
Tabernacle Steakhouse pairs Glatt Kosher steaks with sushi on West 36th Street. Its photographs show a long counter with backed stools as well as enclosed dining booths, giving you a clear first look at the setting. Make this the opening stop if kosher dining shapes your choice, and ask the staff about counter seating before you settle in. Dinner hours run Sunday through Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM. Friday and Saturday are closed.
🍸 Look closer at the cocktail service
Carversteak moves the comparison to West 48th Street, with steaks, seafood and a cocktail program that includes table-side Old Fashioneds. The interior photographs show a bar beyond the dining tables and curtained seating areas. Choose this stop when the drink service is your deciding factor. Its daily dinner window is 4 PM to 10 PM. Ask about the current bar menu and seating on arrival rather than assuming every dining room item is served at the counter.
🚶 Compare first, settle in afterward
Plan the two stops on a Sunday through Thursday evening, when both restaurants list dinner service from 5 PM to 10 PM. Begin at Tabernacle on West 36th Street and continue north to Carversteak on West 48th Street. Treat the sequence as a comparison before one main meal rather than two full dinners. Leave room between stops and check the map before walking. Call ahead about counter seats and the current menus, and arrange a ride if you plan to drink.
