Las Vegas steakhouse Golden Steer is coming to New York later this year, as first reported by Eater. Taking residence at the iconic One Fifth building, the restaurant will replace Marc Forgione’s Trattoria One Fifth which announced its closure last month after just two years of service.
From the strip to the Village, this is the first time the iconic steakhouse has expanded outside of Las Vegas. According to second-generation family owner Amanda Signorelli, the steakhouse’s long-standing connections to the Big Apple sparked the move.

“When we looked at our history, many of our most iconic patrons, from Frank Sinatra to other legendary entertainers, had deep ties to New York,” Signorelli told Eater. “Additionally, when we looked at the data behind our patrons who frequent the Golden Steer today, New Yorkers stood out as one of our most engaged audiences. Pair that with the fact that NYC, like Vegas, is a global culinary capital, and it felt like the natural next step for the Golden Steer.”
So why is Golden Steer famous? Established in 1958, Las Vegas’ longest-running steakhouse hosted several superstars in its heyday including the entirety of The Rat Pack—Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin—to Marilyn Monroe and Muhammad Ali. Modeled after a mob hang with curved tufted booths and heavy wood paneling, the restaurant reached icon status with a feature in the 1995 film Casino.
When it lands later this year, New Yorkers can expect tuxedo-clad servers carting around the dining room, preparing tableside Caesar salads and slicing up tomahawk steaks and 14-ounce cuts of prime rib. We can only hope the restaurant’s famed banana foster makes the flight over safely.
