There are an enormous number of restaurants in Manhattan and among them a choice of any sort of food. As one can guess from the name this is a steak restaurant but they do have plenty of other choices, see the menu at the end of this review.
W & L is also a Kosher restaurant so there is no milk, no butter, no cream and no cheese available.
Bare brick walls suit the decor,
tables are set with butchers paper over linen cloths and kids are given crayons to display their art.
It's certainly family friendly.
Typical of American restaurants serves are handsome. Water and bread were served promptly.
A bowl of chicken soup with a substantial amount of chicken and a large soft matza ball was a little salty,
and of course, not as good as my mothers, but quite satisfying. I settled on seared duck breast which turned out to be a lot more than seared but did have a crispy skin and good taste.
The accompanying beans were very much to my liking, firm and barely cooked and the very large serve of sauteed spinach surprising as there was no butter used.
Chip had rosemary to create an unusual but very pleasant taste.
Lemon tarragon chicken salad looked unimpressive to me.
but my son enjoyed it and there were no complaints about a serve of chicken and salad.
For dessert a molten chocolate pudding, also with no milk or cream, was surprisingly good.
