A Prime Spot for Dining

Midtown has its share of steak houses—and it just got another meat lovers’ haven in the form of a dramatic restaurant designed by the in-demand team at AvroKO. Quality Meats, a new venture from the steak pros at the Smith & Wollensky group, has inventive details like chandeliers fashioned from silver-toned meat hooks and pulleys, walnut plank walls (a reference to traditional meat locker interiors), industrial-looking columns, and butcher block wood on the stairs—which lead to a private dining space that seats 40 on the second level. Opened in late April. —Mark Mavrigian
