A trip to Williamsburg, Brooklyn without visiting Peter Luger is a crime. Before my trip I had heard so much about their steak and highly recommended by NyTimes. I went during lunch, thank god because I was told by the manager there is a 6 weeks waiting list for dinner. When I was there, there were people calling to reserve a table for May 26th (!!!!). I also got a chance to see their waiting list for dinner on Saturday. 2 A3-sized sheets of little boxes all filled up. Basically impossible to score a table. The service was impeccable. When I walked in, I requested for a table by the window and there must be natural sunlight streaming in (I swear that is my only demand ever) so whilst I waited at the counter, the waiter ran around the restaurant finding the right table for me. When they did find a table, they personally brought my to see if it was good before sitting me down. I ordered a medium rare Rib-eye steak for US$40. It was expensive but when the steak arrived, it was bigger than my face. My face is big, by the way. And the bone was twice the length of my second finger.
The steak was also neatly cut and the waiter immediately showed me a piece to check if it was rare enough for me before putting it onto my plate.
