Way-back on 2/15/12 Jeff Eats told you guys about NYY Steak located in the Seminole Casino Creek Coconut Creek- in Coconut Creek. That “review” is down-below…
Long story short, since that “review” was published, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten in NYY something like 5-times, with the latest “outing”- being last night. For what it’s worth, all of the meals that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had, were all right on the money!
Last night, I got to thinking that Jeff Eats rarely if ever hears- NYY Steak mentioned in conversations about South Florida’s best steak-joints. No ifs, ands or buts- the 26oz bone-in-ribeye with grilled onions and French fries- that I had last night and didn’t come close to finishing- could easily be matched against the best of breed down here in sunny South Florida-same story for Mrs. Jeff Eats’ pan seared snapper!
Anyway,
Jeff Eats just wanted to mention NYY Steak to you guys, again…
One of the best-“upscale steakhouses” in South Florida is located at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in- Coconut Creek…That’s right, the casino where you-gotta wear an oxygen mask because the cigarette smoke is so brutal—as part of a recently completed $150,000,000 renovation/expansion has opened an absolutely georgeous looking steakhouse with fabulous food and service. You can check www.seminolecoconutcreekcasino.com for menu/prices/photos. By the way, NYY is a joint venture–Seminole Indians/New York Yankees (there is another NYY at Yankee Stadium).
NYY…New York Yankees, get it? All kinds, of New York Yankee black/white photos, autographs…no dark wood–or dim lights here…but rather, a great looking open kitchen, light oak woods, bright lights, plenty of glass. Like I said before, an absolutely gorgeous looking joint.
When you check NYY’s menu, try not to get sticker-shock…no question about it- that $51.75 24oz bone in ribeye is “high” even for an upscale steakhouse–Now, I maybe going out on a limb here, but I think- that casino-joints like NYY get a ton of customers using their casino “PLAYER’S CLUB” rewards/points to pay the bill. If I’m right—the restaurant can charge more than what most folks would consider “normal”- because many customers aren’t using real-money. So, if you go there, I think you will find that many of the “diners” are eating on-the-arm.
At this juncture of the discussion, let me tell you that NYY looks totally out of place at the Seminole Casino. Nothing for nothing, but the Seminole Casino isn’t in this boy’s opinion–an upscale looking property. Now, there may-be something more developing at the Seminole Casino that’s gonna get it looking more like the Hard Rock operation in Hollywood-so NYY may eventually make sense, but for right now, NYY looks like a fish out of water. Personally, I don’t see non-casino players making special plans/reservations to eat at NYY, despite the fact that its food is absolutely dynamite.
A recent dinner had me “doing” the aforementioned 24oz ribeye, 28oz porterhouse ($54.75), veal chop milanase ($44.50), roast chicken ($28.50), lemon pepper halibut ($31.50), steak fries ($9.50), lobster mac & cheese ($11). Every item was delicious. On the service front, excellent without the “snotty” know-it-all attitude you find at many upscale steakhouses.
There are two ways to play NYY Steak. You can gamble your heart out…and accumulate points to spend or you can just fork over cash or your credit card at the end of the meal.
NYY Steak is a homerun…pun intended!
NYY Steak is open Monday, Thursday-Sunday 5pm-11pm. The joint is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday
Later this month I am going to celebrate my 77th birthday…
Just a thought…

(727) 391-8393.
Got a real good Chinese joint for you guys to checkout, Zom Hee Chinese Restaurant in Seminole.
Simple tale to tell, last night, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Zom Hee Chinese Restaurant and its food absolutely killed! Booth/table seating, full liquor bar/ reasonably priced “You Name We Got It” menu.
Straight-up, I am telling you guys, that Zom Hee Chinese Restaurant ranks right up there with the best Chinese joints that we have been to in Florida! By the way, you do know that this food reviewing “thing” is purely a subjective call- what I like you may hate and what I think is cold, you may think is hot! Anyway…
Let’s wrap-up Zom Hee Chinese Restaurant by saying that it is an absolute must try, that you can check menu/prices/info at zomhee.com, that its been in business for 40 years, that it features Szechuan, Hunan, and Cantonese styles of cooking, that its open:

* JAY & THE AMERICANS (Mardi Gras Casino, Hallandale Beach)
Just wanted to give you 1960’s Rock N Roll aficionados a heads up…on Tuesday Night, October 15, 2013 one of Rock’s legendary groups -Jay And The Americans will be in concert at the Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach. Don’t have ticket pricing-yet, but if the Mardi Gras Casino “prices” tickets like it did for its recent -The Lovin’ Spoonful and The Grass Roots’ concerts—don’t worry, you won’t have to get a second job to pay for your seats. By the way, Jeff Eats attended both of those concerts (which were held outdoors in the Grandstand area) and the bands and the casino put on fabulous shows…you just gotta pray for good weather!
Just a drop of history…
JAY AND THE AMERICANS with hits such as “She Cried”–“This Magic Moment”–“Cara Mia”–“Come A Little Bit Closer”-“Walking In The Rain”–“Some Enchanted Evening”–“Only In America” has had three lead singers…John Traynor, Jay Black and Jay Reincke. For what it’s worth, way back when—in 1975 Jay Traynor’s mother was Jeff Eats’ legal secretary when he worked for D’Amato, Costello & Shea in New York City. Now catch this one, Mrs. Jeff Eats when she was 13 years old, baby-sat for Jay Black’s son when Jay lived in Brooklyn, New York. Mrs. Jeff Eats and Jay Black (his real name is David Blatt, but don’t tell anyone) lived in the same apartment building -The Phillip Howard on Flatbush Avenue…and no I can’t tell you what year it was- because Mrs. Jeff Eats would kill me if I did. Sorry, no “history” with Jay Reincke the newest of the bunch -as he is originally from Chicago and Jeff Eats only connection to that City is that his cousin Bobby -a major-heavyweight SEC attorney has lived there since 1975.
Anyway…keep an eye on www.mardigrasfl.com for details.
One final note…check-out Jay And The Americans at www.jayandtheamericans.net. The site has a real-interesting “biography” on the group and its lead singers.
My name is Jeff. I was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. Since 1991, I have lived in South Florida and have eaten in so many restaurants down here, that I now consider myself to be a food expert.
