T Bar Steak & Lounge
Surprisingly enough, you’re about as likely to find a decent steak on the Upper East Side as you are to find Donatella Versace in an understated dress. And should the Silk Stocking District ever cast an envious eye towards midtown, we've no doubt the former’s dearth of quality moo-meat would almost certainly be the reason. With the opening of T Bar Steak & Lounge, restaurateur Tony Fortuna hopes to remedy this situation. Offering USDA Choice grade cuts (most heavy-hitters stick with Prime) and a quality if somewhat overpriced and overdone cocktail list, early appraisals have been skeptical at best. But if you don’t set your expectations too high (and you’re not taking cost into consideration) T Bar Steak & Lounge has the capacity to over-deliver. Nicolas Feuillatte, an exemplary champagne choice, is offered by the glass and is a welcome departure from the acid-reflux-inducing options offered at other establishments. And unlike your blind date from last Saturday, the decor is sexier and better looking in person (think Craftsteak without the financial backing). While we’re doubtful anyone will be waxing poetic over T Bar anytime soon, the stiff drinks, late night menu, and lounge-y vibe will almost certainly have the Choice grade UES social-set coming back for more.

Not too bad at all

Place isn't as bad as above, good steaks. It's the UES, so you get old people... average price for Manhattan, so if you are fom the sticks you might find it a bit pricey. Decent wine. Music was good when I went. If you live on the UES and don't want to go far for a good steak, this place is it.

T-bar is dirty and old!

This place is really boring, there is so many old people it is like an old people depot. The waitstaff is partially ugly and the place seems dingy, I sat in the back area and for an "upscale" place, the tables were dirty and on top of that scratched up. It looked like the dask I sat in at Poly Prep. The music is so wack! It is totaly not worth spending money and the entertainment is slim to none. people would only go here for an after thought, there is nothing like going to the gansevort in the meat packing district and meeting all kinds of hip fun, their is so much more entertainment and better food downtown and the environment is more laid back. Just peek through the windows of t-bar and you will see all the old folks literally dieing in their seats while they eat. I guess the homes are overcrowded for the old folks.
