Great Steakhouse and Super Service 2/4/2012

A friend of mine told me about this out of the way restaurant on the upper east side. I really wasn't sure about it, but he said he really wanted to go. Well, I certainly was impressed. The staff was so nice. The owner came over to the table and treated us like family. I got a skirt steak with garlic potatoes. Usually my steak comes back undercooked when I say medium, but this was just perfect. I definitely will be back. more

Delicious Brunch! 7/31/2011

Sunday brunch in the city in the summer is always a treat because its empty. This restaurant made brunch extra special. For 20 bucks up to around 23bucks you get a drink, fruit plate, muffins/cornbread and entree. We were a party of 5, everyone was happy. Highlights: skirt steak and eggs, kobe burger, blueberry pancakes. Portions were substanitial, service and decor delightful. Plenty of space at the table and between tables. I hate being crowded in. Would highly recommend brunch, will come back again. more

Fabulous food 7/19/2010

We were in NYC under the reason of my mother being in the hospital. Each night we had to leave the hospital by 8pm( ICU policy) We were referred to the York Grill by a close friend of the family. He was on target. We spoke with the owner Tony and with a referral of our friend he graciously held a table for us even though we had no idea what time we could be there and did not have a reservation. The service was outstanding and the food was nothing short of amazing. Every bite was just perfection. The presentation was worthy of magazine photo print. We were so grateful of the enjoyable atmosphere and evening. It made a difficult time more bearable. Thank you for your generosity. We have shared our experience with everyone we know. The world needs more people like Tony and Charlie who go out of their way for a friend of a friend. God bless you. Pros: every bite is a wow moment more

My ""Go-To"" restaurant for over 10 years! 4/15/2009

I don't even live in the neighborhood, but this remains the place I bring friends & relatives that I really want to ""spoil."" The food is top-notch, the service impeccable and the hosts should write THE book on hosting. Every time I walk out of there, I feel like I just indulged in one of NYC's best values. I like a lot of restaurants, but I LOVE the York Grill.. more

Owner Message

  • "Flavorful food, a chic decor and excellent food, service make this hip new restaurant a great place to go when you want to impress a date or take an important business client out on the town." -Resident Restaurant Review

    Terrific "word of mouth" via "grown-up, sophisticated" types keeps this "classy, old-fashioned" "Yorkville American" always busy" fans of its "adventurous comfort food" say "thank God it's in the middle of nowhere or else we'd never get in !" -Zagat Survey 2004

    "Upbeat and elegant, forward and still nostalgic, York Grill delivers the best recipe for family, friends, romance, or business, all in one delicious and beautiful package. Restaurant Giants should take note..." - The Examiner 2010

Editorial

  • In-the-know crowds frequent out-of-the-way special-occasion restaurant. Updated American comfort food and jazz pleases business and romance-inclined diners.
