Golden Steer, a 70-year-old classic Las Vegas steakhouse, has opened a new location at the iconic One Fifth Avenue building in New York City. The stunning space has been transformed into a sexy, romantic time capsule of 1950s and 1960s Vegas, complete with a convivial main dining room, seductively lit bar-lounge, and private 'Mob Room' and 'Showgirls Room.' The menu features steakhouse classics as well as Italian-inspired dishes, but the restaurant faces stiff competition in New York's oversaturated modern steakhouse scene.

Why it matters

The opening of Golden Steer in New York represents an audacious expansion for the decades-old Las Vegas institution, as it seeks to bring its vintage Vegas vibe and steakhouse fare to the highly competitive New York dining market. The restaurant's success or failure could serve as a bellwether for whether classic Vegas-style dining can thrive in the Big Apple.

The details

Golden Steer's New York outpost was opened by affable husband-and-wife owners Nick McMillan and Amanda Signorelli, who took over the business after Amanda's father, Dr. Michael Signorelli, passed away in 2019. The 167-seat venue was transformed by architecture firm Modellus Nvous into a plush, clubby space with tufted upholstered booths, globe-light sconces, stained glass, and thick carpeting. The menu, overseen by executive chef Brendan Scott, features steakhouse classics like a 24-oz. bone-in ribeye as well as Italian-inspired dishes like house-made steer sausage and veal saltimbocca.

  • Golden Steer opened its New York location in February 2026.
  • The restaurant was previously a decades-old classic in Las Vegas.

What they’re saying

“It feels surreal. History and storytelling is a huge piece of the brand and there's perhaps no venue in New York with more legacy than One Fifth.”

— Nick McMillan, Co-owner, Golden Steer

“No matter what anybody says about red meat is bad for you and no matter how much prices go up, it only seems to create more demand.”

— Pat LaFrieda, Master Butcher

What’s next

The restaurant will need to continue refining its menu and service to stand out in New York's crowded modern steakhouse scene and appeal to local tastes, beyond just replicating its successful Las Vegas formula.

The takeaway

Golden Steer's bold move to bring its vintage Vegas vibe to New York City will test whether classic steakhouse dining can thrive in the highly competitive Big Apple market, where modern steakhouse concepts have proliferated in recent years.
