Sam Bahri's Steakhouse: Sam Bahri’s new eponymous spot (guess she got sick of having restaurants, like her Dallas Jones BBQ, not named after her) is an American steakhouse with just the right dash of French-iness. The friendly neighborhood joint contains a large, central banquette table meant for communal dining, as well as steak, steak, and more, uh, steak. But that’s not the whole gustatory story here—hot and cold apps are predominantly sea-life-centered (jumbo lump crab cakes, $19; tuna tartare, $15; and raw bar options, $MP). Once you’re past them, though, it’s time to steer your eyes toward red meat options like Tournedos of Beef (filet mignon with foie gras, $45) and countless charbroiled steaks ($32-$45), all offered with delectable “finishing” sauces like bernaise and roquefort. Sides are pricey but hearty (like the duck-fat-finished “Very French” fries, $9) while desserts and wines are likewise tres Francais and solid. Sam Bahri’s offers great food and a great esprit de corps as well as solid proof that not every restaurant named after its owner belongs in Times Square.
