St. Anselm - Brooklyn

Wanted to try a different steak house outside of Manhattan, we were referred to St Anselm by a friend and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was a mixture of cozy rhythm and blues music in a local casual dining setting. We sat at the ?chef table?, were we enjoyed views of the progressive all women chefs cooking up some beautiful steaks. They were quiet and calmly communicating orders which came out at reasonable time and all at once! Everything about this placed flowedso perfectly even as a blizzard was storming outside. I had the Butchers steak, NY strip steak and the chicken. But I got to say the Pan Fried mash potatoes was AMAZING!! I would easily come back just for that and a glass of wine. Thesteaks were cooked perfectly and the wine selection is great. Make no mistake I will be back for more! Great for a cozy night on the town or a wine date especially if your used to the easily packed steak houses of the city!

Came here to celebrate my birthday yesterday. LOVE the butcher?s steak! We had medium rare, and it?s PERFECT! So tender, the seasoning is awesome. Bacon, spinach, and smashed potatoes are tasty! Must try their Toffee Cake with vanilla ice cream. My first time having a toffee cake that?s not that sweet. (It?s a big compliment from Asian, IYKYK???? However, I won?t give five stars to the octopus. The taste was great, but the octopus was dry. Overall experience definitelyworth five stars.

St. Anselm never disappoints! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Plus, the staff are all so kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. They're usually pretty busy, so even with a reservation, you may still end up needing to wait a little bit (totally worth it). They'll suggest you go to the bar next door to grab a drink (cute little bar with backyard area and great selection of beer and wine), and they'll come grab you when your table is ready. You can bring thedrinks over to the restaurant, so you don't need to rush to finish your drink or anything. Honestly, it's all part of the experience. The food is amazing, drinks are great, and the dessert selection is excellent.

This restaurant was great. The food was good from the charts it came with the price, but it was worth it. Probably some of the best steaks I ever...

At first I would like to say that the food was delicious and our server was wonderful. The bad review is due to an interaction with the hostess. We had...
