No Good Service Guys

Service at this highly aclaimed place was very poor. They could not locate the wine we asked until about the 3rd time. Our dishes were very avarage and with a lot of fat. Somelier was very rude when I asked a specific wine , he said " it's restaurant week every body ordered these wines and they run out of them". The red wine he served was cold and his answer was " we keep our wines in the cellar'' very rude. Our server never stoped by our table and check how our expereince was. I have nothing else to say bu it was not a great restaurant week start.

JUST STAY AWAY!!!!

I took my husband for his 35th birthday to the Kobe Club.

Reservations were at 7:15PM. I made to note requesting a quiet table and that we were celebrating his birthday.

When we got there, we were seated in between two tables. On one side, a woman had her bag on half of my seat. (Okay not the restaurant's fault but the hostess should have said something.) My husband and I ordered the $130+ tasting menu - not the $40 restaurant week menu the tables besides us were having. The food was so salty we had finished our $10 bottle of water after the first course. Everything was covered with so much salt I could not enjoy the waygu. After dinner was done, I snuck off to make sure the waitress knew that we were celebrating my husbands birthday to salvage out night out. Of course it was the first she had heard of it so she assured me she would take care of it. 20 minutes later, no dessert and no one came to check on is. The table on either side of us had new diners into their dessert course! Another 10 minutes later, my husband went to the restroom and the waitress asked if we were okay. I told her no one came to take our dessert orders. She told me not to worry, we were getting the chefs dessert selection. Another 10 minutes later she came back - apologies they lost of dessert order in the kitchen but does not bother taking our coffee order. So another 10 minutes passes - they bring out the nastiest dessert I ever had which was no different than the two offered on the tasting menu - definitely not the chef's selection. The bill came out to a total of $400+.

Now I am willing to pay $400 for a meal with impeccable service and top notched food like you would get at places like Megu or Morimotos which also serve waygu. We got neither at the Kobe Club. As an event planner for my firm, I will never ever use to place for an event and personally I would tell all personal diners to JUST STAY AWAY!

amazing experience!!!!!

i was at Kobe Club last Saturday with some friends and we had an amazing time, from the door to the service, great staffs, the food was a wonderful experience, we had the tasting menu, it was a great combination of Kobe dishes (5 courses with Kobe beef and a choice of dessert), a fantastic 6 courses dinner, the wine list is great and also cocktails, the room is beautifull and fun music. overall it was an amazing experience!!!

great menu, daring decor, attentive service

A friend had recently mentioned a great time she had at Kobe Beach Club in East Hampton so I decided to visit the restaurant that had started it all. I have to say that it really was much more than what I had expected. Even given everything that I've already heard of this place, I was extremely impressed. I was slightly weary of the prices on the menu but found a great alternative with the tasting menu. SIX COURSES! AMAZING VALUE! You get a bit of each of their signature appetizers, Wagyu steak and dessert. I thought I was going to have to spend a leg but honestly, it wasn't more than what I normally would have spent at Morimoto or any other nice NYC restaurant. A pleasant surprise.

Now I just want to make a trip out to the Hamptons....for those of you who venture out to the Hamptons on the weekend, my friend says she had an amazing dinner at Kobe Beach Club and then stopped by the club next door - Lily Pond - and had a kick a$$ time. They have a great DJ apparently. Can't wait!!!

AMAZING beef, great restaurant

We went there with the intention of eating from the restaurant week menu. We had a nice drink at the bar first (they have a great cocktail menu - try the pisco-punch) and were seated promptly at a great booth in the back which was private and excellent. Our waiter Jeremy was very nice and explained all about the different types of Wagyu beef - American, Australian, and Japanese Kobe. We were so enticed by what he told us we decided to try their tasting flight for 2 - you get 4 4oz portions of each type of Wagyu plus American prime. It was very expensive but we said why not, let's try it. All I can say is OH MY GOD it was the best thing I've ever eaten. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and every bite was just amazing. We had some great appetizers too - the thick cut bacon with black truffles is to die for. The Kobe beef ravioli are also quite awesome. Do not skip the parmesan fries and the truffled creamed corn. Everything was so delicious it was amazing. There are some reasonably priced (under $70) good wines on the list. The service was attentive, professional, friendly and great. The decor is very unique and interesting, a little S&M/dungeon, a little clubby, not boring at all. A great variety of music was played all night at the perfect volume, you can converse with ease and still enjoy the music. The bathrooms are your typical unisex weirdo type - acquaint yourself with how they work before you have too many drinks! I am very discriminating when it comes to dining out and this place wowed me in a big way. I enjoyed the food much more than the many typical steakhouses (Luger's, Mortons, etc) I've visited, it was much more special and much more delicious. Kobe is worth the big bucks, that's for sure, and this place knows how to do it right!

Biggest dining disappointment in NYC

The most disappointing dining experience I've had in NYC in ten years. The place is empty (except for tourists who don't know better) for a reason. The food was VERY overpriced - unripe tomatoes, kobe tartar overpowered by way too much salt & garlic, kobe steak was good, but not better than any other restaurant. I wouldn't be happy with the food even if it was cheaper, a huge letdown. The service was awful, no one refilled our water & when they finally did poured still into our sparkling, they forgot to give us utensils, no one wiped off the table between courses, no one asked us mid meal how everything was, the bathrooms didn't have toilet paper, & the overall atmosphere feels cheap & "vampire"ish.

HORRIBLY TREATED !!!!

Don't bother showing up, save your money for a better place. We were a party of 7 and had 8pm reservations, the first person checked in at 7:45 and the whole party was there by 8:15. We were not seated until 9:05, that is over an hour after our reservation, we were literally shoed away by the hostess when trying to get an update on when we would be seated. What is the point of a reservation if you don't keep it, the bar was packed with other people jsut waiting to be seated.

SSOOOO not worth it

We had a reservation at 8pm during restaurant week. At 9:15 we left. The hostesses were SO rude. Literally not nice. I don't know who they thought they were. We left & went across the street to Quality Meats where the service was excellent & we only had to wait 10 minutes.

Bad food (literally BAD), Management that does not care, No Vibe, but...Good Drinks

My husband and I went to the Kobe club for dinner on a Saturday night and would never go back. We definately should have done our research first!

BAD FOOD: We ordered oysters and a variety of kobe beefs. The kobe beef was excellent but we got served bad oysters. My husband got food posioning from them and spent the next 2 days sick. To make this worse, when I called to complain/tell the manager so they do not serve more, they did not even have the courtesy to call me back!

NO VIBE: While the decor was very nice and unique (swords hanging from the ceiling, etc), there was no vibe. The restaurant was actually empty (except for a few tourists) which is surprising for a Saturday night - it was almost depressing. Also, they blast generic pop music - I think they had the Nelly Furtado CD on while we were there.

EXPENSIVE (Note: I probably would not be complaining if it did not come with food posioning): The bill came to $500 for 2 people which would be acceptable for a kobe beef dinner, but not a dinner you get food poisining from! Also, we ended up having to leave the waiter a $100 tip when he was not any better than a diner waitress. He didn't even remember the specials!

GOOD DRINKS: In an attempt to give a balanced review, they have a nice drink menu and the punchdrink was great.
