Blackstones Steakhouse, Mount Kisco

The classics reign supreme at Blackstones Steakhouse: a traditional restaurant devoted to special-occasion combinations of quality surf and turf. Inside the kitchen, cooks grill prime, dry-aged beef in a number of different cuts, ranging from a petite filet mignon to a porterhouse that can feed as many as four people. The steakhouse's chefs also fill the raw bar with oysters and clams on the half shell, and steam Maine lobsters over a pot of boiling iceberg shards.

Much like the menu, the steakhouse’s décor demonstrates a commitment to classical elegance and refinement. Walnut-hued wainscoting, earthenware floor tiles, and wine-red walls add a warm richness to the space. At the same time, stark white tables appear pristine in their simplicity, presenting diners with crisp napkins, crystal-clear wine glasses, and gleaming silverware.
