Cliffs Steakhouse - Englewood Cliffs

[dknyc1]

I had been asking for reviews for a while & nobody reponded so I finally checked it out myself.

I had high hopes as it is practically across the street from where I live.

Went Friday 3/9 with wife, 6 year old daughter & in-laws.

6:00 pm & there was only one other table occupied. When there food came out as we were being seated we all smelled something great & were told it was the porterhouse for 3 - smelled as good as Lugers.

So, for the 4 adults we had porterhouse for 3, tomato & onion & caeser salad.

The tomato & onion I was told was very good, but tomato was little under Luger quality - may just be the season.

Steak was very good - perfectly cooked - great flavor.

My daughter had a burger she enjoyed.

We were told chef worked at Lugers & there was a housemade sauce on the table that we all felt was identical to Lugers.

Excellent service & very pretty decor.

Total bill with a few drinks was $160, before tip.

We will definitely be back regularly - even if it wasnt so close to home.

When we left, theplace was about 3/4 full.

I recommend everyone try it.

is the steak dry-aged? is the menu similar to luger's? (steak for two, bacon, lamb chops). did you notice if they have a burger on the menu?

if it's a luger's clone a la Ben & Jack's and Wolfgang's, it could be a real contender for the River Palms, which are currently probably the best bet for dry-aged steak in northern jersey, especially if you prefer porterhouse.

So when are you going Tommy? Look forward to your review! Am particularly interested in hearing how it compares to Luger's and Wolfgang's...

How can there be so many pop-up steakhouses comparable to Luger’s? Did another open in Englewood Cliffs? If so, how was it? Thanks…

I am hoping to go this weekend. I've heard some nice things from a few friends -- good service, attentive, quality steak, well cooked/prepared, etc.

Looking forward to it.

Tommyeats provided a review from his visit - seems like a mixed bag:

Great review, Tommy... As a Hobokenite, seems to reason for me to go there, when I can get to Wolfgang's (or one of the other clones) just as easy, if not easier...
