Is Peter Luger Steak House worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Peter Luger Steak House works.

Gruff waiters, a beer-hall room, and a sizzling porterhouse carved tableside — tradition over polish. Electric for steak purists and groups; wrong for anyone expecting modern service or who forgot it doesn't take credit cards.

Price
~$120+ per head for the porterhouse experience
Time
1.5–2 hours
