JW Steakhouse has been serving up superb, classically prepared fillet mignons, Angus prime cuts and mouth-wateringly good wagyu, since it first opened in 1996. Designed to capture the look and feel of a genuine New York steakhouse, the chubby leather chairs, dark wood interior and exclusive ‘boys club’ feel, have all conspired to make JW Steakhouse an award-winning destination among carnivorous foodies. The ambiance is warm and friendly, which explains why there are so many brass name plates, earned by regular customers, on display. One has to visit the restaurant in excess of 24 times in a six-month period to earn one, thus proving that those who discover the delights of this old-fashioned steakhouse, can’t help but return for more. The pan-fried foie gras on red onion marmalade with watercress and balsamic reduction is the dish to sample, routinely and unanimously praised as it is, in every review the restaurant has ever had. Other delights include fresh-from-the-tank Omani lobster, crab cake with lime tartar sauce, and of course, the large selection of supremely succulent, world-class steaks. This is a place where celebrations, romantic suppers and business-clinching dinners are all served to perfection.
