Food was really good. Drinks were mediocre. We chose to sit at a booth near the bar instead the bar and you can see how the bartender chose to take care of her customers versus the table tickets. We waited at least 20-30 minutes for our drinks, the food came out way before the drinks. Servers should get on her to ensure timely service. The couple next to us got tired of waiting and left. It was almost funny how the server was dumbfounded that they left.

We had a nice lunch at Brass Tack. Clubby atmosphere with plenty of booths. Excellent service. We split a turkey club and a Caesar salad. Other than not having anchovies to add to the salad the food was very good and plenty for both of us. French fries a hit. Much better to do this than the $29 lunch deal on the menu.
We tried the lobster toast from the weekend brunch menu. It was prepared well with very good flavors. Wish it came with some greens on the side. The omelette was good but nothing too special. Slightly overpriced.

Good experience. Good quality food.I thought the avocado ? toast needed more seasoning. Rest was very good.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu.

The atmosphere is warm and elegantly casual. Dark wood and brass. Soft music. The service at both the bar and table were excellent. Friendly and helpful. The menu is limited but adequate. Food was good. Portions were European, which I appreciate. I had pasta and partner had scallops. Dessert was outstanding!

We had the absolute best service here! The only reason I'm giving it 4 starts is for 2 reasons: 1. The price is a bit much for the basics. But you are getting quit a bit of food so you have to take that into account. 2. Its 2024 and places STILL aren't seasoning their food and I don't get that. They offer a Shakshouka dish, which if you know anything about the dish, it needs to cook a while, marinade and be seasoned properly. It was given neither and it was expensive.Again, the service here was impeccable and the ambiance is lovely! Just wish they would go a bit harder on the seasoning and maybe lower the cost (which i know is not something that's just easily done with inflation etc). But overall, the food is still good and a excellent quality.This is also the same place that does room service in he Waldorf. HIGHLY recommend the turkey club. You will not be disappointed. <3

There is a limited menu. My partner had the scallops. Three pieces and they could have been warmer. She said they were good. I had the pasta. It was good. Our server was excellent. It was my partner's birthday and gave us an incredibly delicious chocolate, very thin, soft brownie like layer with fruit and tiny cookies on the top. It was large enough for two. They also sat us in a back cove by a window. It was private and wonderful. We arrived early and sat at the bar. This added to the experience. Warm feel and friendly bartenders. The atmosphere is elegantly casual.

Had high hopes..food is very good, although in tiny portions. The scallops were very, very tender. Winelist is adequate, and you are not rushed. Service is average, and with prices 20% lower it would be worth it.

Ordered two appetizers, a soup, and an entree. All four were disappointing. Burrata was bland (maybe some balsamic would help). Focaccia was decent. Beef short rip shepard's pie was tragically underseasoned. Then there was the slow service. Once we finished the bottle of water, another wasn't offered for the rest of the meal. I finally asked for some but should one have to ask for water after being without for 30 minutes? Overall I would give them a solid C-
Really good attentative service. The waiter welcomed me back. The food was delicious. The timing of the entrees came a bit too close to the appetizer. Quiet, easy to converse over your meal.

Service was amazing from the moment we walked in the doors till we walked out. The hostess, Alicia addressed us by name and set our table up to perfection with candles. Our waiter, Chris greeted us warmly and made sure our beverages were never empty and even sent out dessert with a ‘happy anniversary' which was so kind. The food runner, Angel also congratulated us and the manager Emile stopped by as well which was delightful. Bar cocktails were so delicious and personally delivered by the bartender, Leonard. The FOOD was to die for. Absolutely everything we ate was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor that we literally talked all night about it. Highly recommend this place if you want to treat yourself to something special. Thank you all for making our experience unforgettable!

Ate there for five days only one dish that I thought was just average (breakfast sandwich), rest were excellent.Last day I had the restaurant week lunch (French onion soup, Chicken Sandwich, chocolate cake) which was very generous portion and very tasty.Lobster toast was over the top, one of my favorite this week however might be heavy for some.Crab Benedict was on lighter as it was filled with asparagus alongside crabs and two eggs.

Food was decent and there was an additional menu for restaurant week. That said, the service was rushed and there were a few changes of waitstaff which I found confusing and that distracted me from my conversation with my guest. Food is good but I wish the menu had more items and more affordable dishes.
