“We did a walk in and it was a very cool awesome themed bar. It was quite loud but the atmosphere was great. Got a few drinks and some food and it was all good. The theming of the drinks was cool too. I got the “Flash Me” and it came with a Polaroid. The prices weren’t horrible compared to other places in NYC either. The only thing was the servers were slow. I had to go to the bar every time to get them to let a server know we wanted to order food or more drinks. Besides that, the servers were nice.“

“Excellent service, the staff embodies the hospitality that EMP is famous for.
We were seated at the bar and our bartender, Wilmer, was amazing. Attentive and knowledgeable, had all the right cocktail recommendations!
Will definitely be coming back :)“

“Finally made it in to see the remodel. The look is fantastic and worth stopping in to see all the artwork. Although I can't remember his name, the day time bartender was a walking history lesson and offered some great tips for our visit to the city. He new his drinks too. Maybe the most informed and knowledgeable mixologist we have encountered.“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“The chili sauce is sweeter than I prefer; I'm more of a spicy person.
I did visit during a relatively quiet time, but my food took a long time to arrive. Since I don't drink alcohol, the wait was a little tedious and made me hungry.
Everything else was excellent 👍“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“If it ain’t broke, don’t tell me what time it is. Because I’m probably late for work. Wait, I don’t work and use daddy’s money. Nice drinks“

“San Sabino in New York gets a solid 4 out of 5 from me. The food was tasty and fresh and compared to their sister restaurant is definitely more fish forward. I made a point to try some of their most popular dishes. The lobster ravioli was flavorful and well executed. The cheese appetizer was balanced and nicely presented, though I would probably pass on it next time. The star of the night was the spicy tuna appetizer, which really stood out in both flavor and texture. The decor is beautiful and creates a great atmosphere, and the service was friendly throughout the meal. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.“

“Outstanding food, service, atmosphere! Definately a place to have a great night!“

“Stopped by this gem for the first time today. My friends and I were looking for a spot in the neighborhood to grab a quick drink after brunch, and this place popped up. If you enter from the street, the entrance is pretty easy to miss, but the interior is such a vibe. It reminds me of those late-night casual bars in Japan and Hong Kong. I love the records they have everywhere.

The menu has some really unique drink options, and I love the Asian-inspired flavors in them. The drinks were delicious and definitely strong. The staff is also super friendly, from the host to our server, Tirzah, who is such a vibe! She’s super sweet, attentive, and has such a fun personality.

I would definitely visit here again the next time I’m in the area and try their other menu items, cause their food looked good too. And hopefully Tirzah will be there.“

“Great drinks & Excellent atmosphere“

“perfect perfect perfect atmosphere. bottom floor is a sports bar and the top floor is a disco ball/photo booth lounge-ish bar. a very photo-worthy spot. food was great, drinks were hard to resist, and they do bottomless drinks for some drinks (just have to buy food). i didnt do the bottomless drinks, but will likely come back for it haha“

“I loved this hotel! I visited in September with a friend and loved every detail. Great staff, outdoor patio, rooftop bar, coffee shop, and location. Highly recommend.“

“The Paninis here are out of this world. I also enjoy the Italian cookies as doing my children. I have been coming to the east side for many years as it’s near the hospital for appointments. They also make the best cappuccino in the city. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I could not say more good things about this place!❤️“

“Only had martinis but the aesthetic and service are 10/10 or better! Our waiter was Angel, he knows so much about gins and even brought us a new flavor of our favorite gin Armonico, this is not easily found so I was extremely surprised! Ask for Angel and the mango Armonico 🤌🏽“

“Very good food. Great service, friendly staff and waitress. I recommend the fried chicken, and the kimchi fried rice. The black sesame pudding, as a dessert, was insanely delicious and buttery. Super good.
Brussel sprouts were very tasty. Tteokbokki dish was very interesting and a good interpretation of a creamy, rich pasta-like dish (a bit like a creamy Mac & cheese with everything seasoning). Enjoyed every dish.
Matcha beer was fine, but would opt for a regular beer or cocktail next time.“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“I’LL BE HAVING MY LATEST DOB CELEBRATION WHEN THE BACK-ROOM aka “THE EDIE SEDGWICK SPEAKEASY” REOPENS HOPEFULLY REAL SOON! THE LOVELY IRISHMAN OWNER CILLIAN IS A SWEET-HEARTED MATE W A MASSIVE DRINK MENU MADE UP OF RATHER STRONG COCKTAILS.

“Enjoyed football 🏈 on a Sunday afternoon. A good time with awesome staff!“

“Moved from my “to discover list” to my favorites in one night.
The atmosphere in this place is great. The music is fire, with a Dj that plays vinyls which automatically makes it even a better experience for me.
The drinks were fairly priced, not too pricey, not cheap,just around the same prices for the area. I personally liked every single one I tried, but ven when I told the bartender she could just give me anything it ended up being the best one of the night as simple as it was.
The food was good bar food, you don’t have many options to choose from but at least the combinations were interesting!
Bathroom is pretty funny, head there if you like bananas.
Would absolutely recommend and definitely will be coming back
Also! Happy hour until 7 is great.

“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊“

“This spot delivered a polished experience from start to finish. We were seated promptly, and despite its clear popularity, it felt open, comfortable, and unhurried. The plush seating adds to the sense of ease and makes it a nice spot for lingering.

The cocktails were excellent and thoughtfully balanced, showcasing creativity without sacrificing drinkability. The Milk Money was a special standout - somewhere between a espresso martini and a salted cheese foam black sesame boba. The Wellington Pigs in Blankets was also well executed and memorable. I'll give the frogs legs a pass next time.

Overall, it manages to feel refined without being pretentious and lively without feeling crowded or rushed. Very good balance.“

“This establishment is everything! From the time I entered the service was impeccable. I had the seared Bass w/Copolini and the Crab Spring Rolls. 5 stars, a must when in NYC.“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“Haven't had such tasty food in a while. If you're craving good Indian food, don't think just visit. Reminded me of Delhi. The cocktails were unique and delicious! Ambience was lovely with great music and staff friendly & polite.“

“I had a great time at Porchlight. The space has a warm, laid-back vibe with a touch of Southern charm. Drinks were creative and well-balanced, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the night. The staff were friendly and attentive. A great spot for a casual, fun evening.“

“Very good hookah spot, nice outdoor space to chill with the view.
The security downstairs had an attitude that we did not appreciate, recommended being nicer to their guests. Server and hookah master were great tho.
No food, but having light bites with the drinks would have been great.“

“Great ambiance and vibe! Especially good for couples and small-medium groups! Amazing bartenders and staff!
If, like me, you’re not big fan of sweet drinks, try 32 Cans and Mary’s Interlude!! Guaranteed!
Also, if you are looking for recommendations or have any questions, look for Miranda, superb bartender—def knows what she is doing and has THE best recommendations!! Inna is also amazing, friendly and knowledgable, runs everything like a piece of cake.“

“Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and AMAZING HOSPITALITY! When in NY you must try!“

“Great service & food! Love the decor! Devils food cake to die for! Burrata was simply the best! Truffle fries were sooo good!“
