There are two places that I love for steak in Hoboken: Antique Bar and Bakery with their amazing dirty ribeye, and Dino & Harry’s, a steakhouse named after Dino Panopoulos and his father, Harry, who have owned it since 1991. This place was also used in the movie The Trial of the Chicago 7, representing the Haymarket Tavern where protesters clashed with the National Guard. So we were a bit overdue, and I did not regret it! The food there was amazing. Here is what we had:
I had a Manhattan as a cocktail. For the first time I was asked if I wanted it it on the rocks, so I went for it.
As an appetizer, I opted for the Blue Point oysters, hesitating a bit between this and the slab of bacon or grilled octopus, thinking that it might not be a good idea considering what was coming.
Jodi, being vegetarian, started with their sliced tomato and onions, and then had a some of the sides I will mention later, a baked potato and some grilled asparagus.
For my main, I was not sure if I should get the ribeye or the porterhouse for one. I decided to go for the latter because it is rare to see it for one person, usually being a cut to share. The meat was perfectly cooked and I really enjoyed both the NY strip part and the tenderloin. I accompanied it with Bearnaise sauce, my all time favorite.
For sides, we shared their Mac and cheese that was really creamy, as well as their corn creme brûlée that was superb, even if a bit too sweet.
We finished our meal with their key lime pie that looked more like a deconstructed version of a classic steakhouse dessert. Delicious!
Overall, we had a great meal at Dino & Harry’s: I have always been a fan of this place and they continue to serve amazing steaks in Hoboken.
Enjoy (I did)!
