Talia's Steakhouse and Bar

I am a regular at Talia’s and usually order their prime beef burger. Always fresh and delicious. Today I saw they are having Kosher Mexican Pop-Up this week, so I ordered
TOSTADAS DE TINGA.. was very delicious and I was extremely satisfied and will order more Mexican this week to try other dishes. Definitely recommend trying Mexican and looking forward to their other Pop-Ups.

My friend and I went to Talia’s for the kosher Haitian popup back in July. My friend keeps kosher but was also vegan, so we were looking for things to order that we would both want. We ended up with the classic stew, I got the meat version and she got the vegan. I tried hers and it tasted EXACTLY the same. You’d think that means they did such an excellent job replicating the meat flavors, but to us it felt more like the meat was an afterthought in the stew. They say they bring in chefs from these cultural backgrounds (Haitian chef was Haitian, their Indian popups have been Indian chefs) but to me it felt like they must’ve told her the audience can’t handle the full flavor of her food 🫣 I felt bad, as I’m sure she’s a great chef, but the food we tried didn’t have any strong flavors, and certainly none that stood out as unique to us. Our expectations were sky high as we both travel a lot and I eat dairy out, so we weren’t sure what we were expecting… I just think we were hoping for more brightness and shock value than this. In NYC, you can try an authentic dish on almost every street corner from a part of the globe you may have never heard of, but it’s the best thing you’ve ever had. Here, the food was fine and unassuming, but did not blow us away with any incredible flavors. I want to keep coming back to popups but please allow the chefs full creative control of their meals! We like Talia’s and I do not want this fi be seen as a negative review, but I would love for them to prove to us that their popups can be truly authentic. :)
(This same friend stopped being vegan and went to the Indian popup more recently and reported a similar experience).

Went to celebrate NYE at Talia’s Steakhouse last night. Service, food and ambiance was amazing. We went for their pre fixe menu and gladly enjoyed it. I ordered Ribeye well done and my partner ordered Chicken Marsala- was delicious and came out in reasonable time. Will definitely recommend and we will be back! Happy New Year!

I recently had a great experience at Talias. I came here for a date and loved the ambiance of the place. The pleasant and attentive waitstaff definitely added to the atmosphere. The Mediterranean salad platter was very good - especially the pickled beets. After this, my date and I split a steak, which was cooked perfectly. Overall, I am very happy with this experience and will recommend Talias to my friends and family
