Est. New York · Convened monthly

A serious Council for an unserious amount of steak.

New York steakhouses, ordered with abandon and scored with a straight face.

From the table

The reviews.

Every steakhouse we’ve sat down at so far, scored on the steak, the sides, the room, the service and the bill.

The Council

It started as dinner. Then someone made a spreadsheet.

Friends, a standing reservation and a scorecard that takes steak far more seriously than it takes us. Members score every dinner. Guests just eat.
