“I would give the service here 10 stars if I could. The bartender was so sweet. He made me a drink based on what I liked and it really hit the spot. All the drinks were quite nice. The menu was very interesting and the spot was very intimate.“

“Amazing experience . Great hospitality and amazing food“

“Came here for a birthday dinner and we were truly wowed start to finish.

The service was wonderful and had an ease about it that never felt overbearing or rushed.

Every single bite was amazing but our standouts were the agnolotti, the beet salad, and the roast chicken.

Truly no missteps though and we will be back for sure.“

“Amazing food, great service and knowledgeable staff! Definitely recommend for vegans and non-vegans alike. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The home of hospitality - this is a family owned and run spot in Little Italy! Very well loved and an amazing selection of wines for anyone who is a local or visitor

My favorites the balsamic Negroni and il Lombardo. For the espresso martini lover, these guys make the best one in town“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“I've had dinner at Greywind, but my first time for lunch. We shared four small dishes, and they were all excellent! Service was great--attentive but not overly intrusive. High on the list for a return visit. Dan Kluger is one of the best in the city, and he really nailed it here.“

“I love Le Crocodile for breakfast. Juan was super kind helping me with my tea and coffee order. For me, I love how calming and beautiful the environment is. Most of the all the staff ( Tak included!). I go regularly and enjoy it every time.“

“The food and service is amazing. We did the a la carte menu and had the wagyu pancit and the lechon. The noodle were delicious, we could have done a second order, but we had to leave room for the pork belly with crispy skin. Drinks were amazing too. We will definitely be back.“

“Took a chance on Justine’s after reading about it in TimeOut. Had some friends in town from the UK. What a fantastic meal and evening we had. The food was incredible. The fusion of flavors, the delicate and meticulous work, the presentation; all truly excellent. And their wine list is equally impressive. The staff were all really lovely. The place is small, so I do advise making a reservation. Sit in the corner window table if you can! It’s delightful. The menu is seasonal, so what I posted may not be on the menu when you dine. Already been recommending Justine’s to friends. Go check it out!“

“This wine bar is AWESOME! We had sooo much fun; Food was OUTSTANDING and of course the wine was great as well! Great VIBE... Definitely will be back ... ***** 5 Stars!“

“სასიამოვნო ინტრიერი, მეგობრული გარემო, უგემრიელესი კერძები.. რეკომენდაციას ვუწევ 100 % ❤️🇬🇪“

“Wow! Had an outstanding night at the Roxy and I think it’s been my best bite in JC.

Service was incredible, friendly, and attentive. We did go at an off peak time, so we got extra special service. However, I think at any time the service would be top notch.

The cocktails were excellent. Extremely balanced, delicious and amazingly seasonal.

The food was soooo good. I had the short rib special and I highly recommend it while it’s available. Absolutely delicious and the best short rib dish I’ve had.

I can’t wait to return!“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“Sexy upscale, yet relaxed wine bar with neighborhood-local clientele and prices. The bar is usually packed with couples out on a casual date night and small groups meeting for an after-work drink. They don't have a full kitchen, but their food menu would have you fooled. I'm partial to their flatbreads and charcuterie board. The staff is knowledgeable and warm, and are always willing to help you find a glass of wine that speaks to you. Really top-notch service. They have a habit of maintaining an excellent music playlist, and always making sure the vibe is *just right*.“

“We went to Cecily for an event in June, and got to try some of their dishes.

The inside is a bit smaller than I thought, or it is more of an obscure dining room shape. They have a fully stocked bar, and a super friendly and talented bartender.

We had a few cocktails; Pink Panther, Cecily Manhattan, and Passenger Pigeon. The Pink Panther was not pink as I had hoped, but it was tasty. Fruity and elegantly sweet, really nice cocktail. Cecily Manhattan was strong, reminded me of Old Fashion. A nice, relaxing drink in the evening. Passenger Pigeon was aromatic and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness.

Food we tried:
Grilled Scallops had a great aroma of the yuzu. They were plump and soft, perfect texture, delicious!
Little Gem Caesar was super fresh. The piparra pepper had a nice little kick, Anchovies gave bold flavor and added texture.
Mussel Toast was divine! Garlic aioli is the bomb, while chili butter gives subtle kick that is so delightful.
Half Roasted Chicken was super moist, and packed with flavor. So tender, easy to cut with butter knife. It had crispy exterior, each bite was amazing.

For dessert, we had Mom’s Strawberry Cake. It was magically delicious. I believe they added strawberry compote into the whipped cream, making it extra flavorful and tasty. It had loads of fresh strawberry compote under the cream.

The staffs were nice, they took a really good care of us during the event. The drinks and food were great, we enjoyed them all. This is such a neighborhood gem, we would love to go back again in a near future to try more of their dishes!“

“Recently hosted an engagement party here for 30 people and I could not be happier! The team was super accommodating and created a perfect vibe. They allowed us to bring in decorations, connect to their speak system and set a menu of delicious appetizers. The food and wine were absolutely delicious! This place is a gem!“

“Excellent excellent coffee place.

Very impressed with their coffee set up.
Hi-end.
Result is delicious coffee.
The best in nyc so far...

Love this place.
Needless to say, this is a must visit place for excellent coffee.

Note; They also serve beer, wine cocktails....also fruit tarts and pastries.“

“One of the of absolute best places we visit in Manhattan, super cute and charming. Incredibly friendly staff and very delicious drinks. The decor is super cute and my whole experience there was great 💜💜💜💜“

“So glad I stopped in!! $39 for a full bottle of Malbec Red Wine!!! 🤯 If I was heading home, I'd have grabbed a bottle or two of the other wine offerings to go!! The prices are insanely good for wine and food! The arugula salad ($20) with tuna ($6) was delicious and had SO MUCH fresh avocado in it!!! Mauricio came by to clean up my plates quickly and offer me water! Ian was a fantastic waiter who had a contagious upbeat attitude and did a fun show of opening the wine and serving me in general!!!! Also, the cheesecake is sooo good!!!“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Loredana is the best!! She is very knowledgeable and fun.“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“We celebrated my daughter's 21st here. It was perfect! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating to our party of 13. The drinks were delicious, the chocolate divine! The atmosphere was festive. Everyone had a delightful time. We will return.

Dietary restrictions: The staff was very considerate and accommodating about the nut allergy.“

“Omg what an amazing time at Sogno! The crew was so hospitable, the food was excellent, setting ambiance , in total a great place to hang out and catch up with friends!! I’ll be back! Special thanks to AUDREY, Cesare and Yulia for always being wonderful“

“Super chill wine bar with surprisingly amazing bites. We had the tuna crudo, potatoes, beet dip and asparagus (all at the recommendation of our phenomenal waitress), and they were all phenomenal. She also recommended such a great wine for us - she was fantastic in general… vibe, knowledge, descriptions… truly made the experience.Highly recommend!Oh, and she made things gluten free for me, too!

Dietary restrictions: Options for gluten free!“

“The perfect place for a girls wine night out. The staff were welcoming and super helpful when picking out our wine. They gave wine suggestions based on flavors we said we liked. The food was also delicious and very authentic. The atmosphere was relaxed and really lovely.“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“best place to enjoy wine and food. Friendly environment and staff! Highly recommended!“

“Wow. You guys… I’ve been going to the Sauced east village for a couple and tonight was my first night checking out their location on Bedford… let me just say, not only was the selection incredible, staff Mika, Isa and Rae went above and beyond to create a special night for me and my fiancée. Tasteful holiday decor, impeccable vibes, personal yet professional service — now that’s hospitality. I’ll be back this weekend!“

“We had an amazing time at this cozy wine bar! Perfect moody atmosphere for a date, and the staff made us feel completely at home. The food was on point, and the wine selection was just right. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a chill yet special evening!“

“Amazing food and very friendly! Our waiter was a hoot and made the atmosphere even more entertaining and inviting. Thanks for showing this Tennessee gal- your Mediterranean ways 🤤😄“

“Food was great. We got the burrata, which was among the best I’ve had, hibachi crudo, and crispy rice with scallop and roe, which was uniquely tasty.
However, the open kitchen concept isn’t more interesting than getting your clothes to smell like food.“

“A most wonderful atmosphere, outstanding service by Mickael, and incredible wine 🍷 list. It’s on our must visit list when in the East Village! Highly recommended indeed!!!“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“Parcelle hosted our party size of 12 for some post-elopement dinner celebrations in their downstairs dining area. It was a perfect evening!! The staff were so lovely and accommodating, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect!! 10/10 will come back and would recommend this wine bar for drinks/dinner“

“Was first introduced to this place a few days ago and have since gone twice! Absolutely love the atmosphere and the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Have tried a few things and have been disappointed at NO points. The bruschetta and tuna tartare are wonderful. The shrimp salad is delightful! The burger hits. The fries are great. I could go on and on. While they have a smaller menu, they do what they do really well. A perfect place for a catch-up with friends, date night, an evening of me-time - whatever you want! Love that there's no TV and just light jazz playing - it really works to eliminate distractions and means you can hear your friends! I loved my experience so much I'm actually gonna be back here next week but what a delightful meal - definitely working this into my stable UES rotation.“

“I’d wanted to check out Bar B forever, but had always found its tiny, narrow confines filled to capacity. On a cold night, a friend and I finally got in and we had one of those fantastic “only in NYC” unexpected experiences, an awesome way to start the new year.

First, Bar B reminds me of the intimate little chef-run spots you find while wandering through narrow backstreets of Barcelona, Lisbon, or Tokyo. Second, the staff is fantastic: warm, attentive, and fun. The vibes are impeccable. Third, the food and drink are terrific and fairly priced. We had aperitivo spritzes to drink and sampled everything from the yummy potato salad to the juicy chicken skewers to an awesome daily special of shrimp and mushrooms in a lick-your-fingers-good garlic sauce. We topped it off with a seasonally perfect chestnut crème brûlée.

We had lively, cheerful new year conversations with neighbors at the bar and Bar B drew us all together, whether originally from Japan, Jamaica, Georgia (the country), Ghana, or Maine, but all now New Yorkers. A lovely night out to start the year. Highly recommend.“

“Food service and wine was amazing. Thanks guys!!“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Great location and very intimate setting/decor. Very classy and friendly service. Modern French cuisine is delicious and trendy; it is much better than the traditional French food, which is getting old and tired. Good selection of fine wines.“

“Highly Recommended !🙌🏻 ❤️❤️❤️“
