Visited this place for the first time and is definitely a hidden gem. The food was fresh and tasty and the service was amazing. Would definitely recommend trying the carbonara if you like white pasta, the prosciutto e arugula pizza, and their tiramisu is a must try. Overall I had a great experience!!

for twenty years, twenty years, I've NEVER had a bad meal there. Salads delish, anyone of them. Their chopped certainly a favorite.The steaks are done to perfection. Sea Bass wonderful. For a lighter fair sometimes order the baked shrimp. Although Stak houses are expensive you can't go wrong at New York Prime!

We went to Abe & Louie’s on Christmas but decided to order from the regular. Bob was our waiter and he took made wonderful suggestions for our meals. He was very helpful on the best way they should be prepared. The three of us loved our food and will definitely be going back. The service was great from the time we arrived and was especially excellent because of Bob. He was friendly and helpful. I would make sure to ask for Bob when we go back to Abe & Louie’s restaurant.
