“My first visit to Charlie Blood's definitely won’t be my last.
We started with the baked clams, which were fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. The bar pie was exactly what you want from a classic Jersey tavern pie—thin, crispy, and packed with flavor.
For mains, the steak with shrimp scampi was outstanding. The steak was cooked perfectly and the shrimp scampi added that rich, buttery garlic flavor that made the whole dish stand out. The Drunken Onion Burger was another highlight—juicy, loaded with caramelized onions, and just downright satisfying. The owner even came out with some of their dessert options to try which ended the night perfectly.
The food, atmosphere, and overall experience made for a great first visit. Safe to say I’ll 100% be back to try even more on the menu. If you’re in the area and looking for great food in a classic local spot, Charlie Blood’s is absolutely worth the stop.“

“food and drinks were delicious and fun atmosphere“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“The food and service were impeccable.😍“

“This is the most incredible restaurant for Caviar connoisseurs. 5 star service from the second you step out of your car they’re holding the door for you, presentation, all the way up until the very end.
The customer service from every single employee blew me away, I can’t recommend Caviar Russe enough! ⭐️“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Just ordered the Thanksgiving style lunch for our office. It was a huge hit. Thank you for everything. It was really awesome“

“Wonderful dinner from start to finish. We had the pleasure of being served by Ramos, who was attentive, affable, and awesome. We started with the tots & caviar, which was like McDonald hash browns on steroids and the tuna cannolis (also on the smaller side but undeniably delicious). We got the duck ravioli which had a great balance of umami and acidity (the ravioli itself was cooked to perfection). We also were lucky enough to finesse the off menu truffle burger, which is easily an S tier burger (same level as lions bar and better than a PJ Clark’s - steakhouse style, not smashed) Fries were unreal. The dirty Martin’s (w/blue cheese olives) were also perfection and the Cali cab to wash it all down was equally delectable. 10/10. Great food, ambiance, and service. Will be back.“

“I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken,cole slaw and biscuits.Overall the food was ok.The chicken wasn't the juiciest and didn't have much flavor.The coating was fried dark but little to no flavor.
The biscuits were ok but I didn't see option for butter or honey.The slaw was basic.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“Amazing place. Wine. Chocolate. Food. gf designated!!! Great atmosphere. And the service is WONDERFUL!!!! (shout out to Lex, our fantastic server who es so friendly helpful and fun). Highly recommend. You will enjoy!!! 🐈‍⬛💕“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Our lunch was delicious! Although it was not a nice day we were able to eat outdoors. They do have a heater, which made it very comfortable. Good service, too!“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Great location, friendly staff, stunning views.“

“The atmosphere is AMAZING. Accompanied by great for and drinks. The wait staff and hostess are Super Sweet.“

“First time here. We wanted something light to eat and it did not disappoint. The ambience is nice and relaxing, the service - top notch. Never ran out of a carafe of water. We had the chips - fresh and warm (a little salt to it would have made them perfect but again- they were great) queso no complaints.

Shrimp tacos and al pastor tacos. We were amazed with the amount of filling in all of them. Maybe the pineapple in the Al pastor could have been diced instead of one big piece. - just nitpicking here. We would come back again for sure. Pineapple smash was the drink and it was very tasty“

“Stumbled into this place this afternoon and had easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. I can’t believe how delish the chicken schnitzel was and I’ve walked by this place so many times. Such a cute spot and the food really was that good.“

“Had a delicious dessert! Nice atmosphere!“

“Food amazing. Great atmosphere. Staff polite and very professional. Tiffany the manager is brilliant.“

“Incredible food and cool vibe🎼🍷😎“

“This was an early date night dinner for my wife and I. The restaurant is ultra chic without pretension. It has great views and an ultra stylish lounge like setting. The service is "real" and prompt.The food is pretty and delicious. Great mocktails too. Lovely place and great vibe.“

“Went there during the Restaurant Week. The menu was much better compared to some other restaurants we went to. The hostess was cheerful and pleasant One tall male server was not good at all- first, he tried to take my plate despite there was still food left and the utensils were placed to show that I was still working on it. Doesn’t he even know what that mean? He apologized, and later came to ask if we needed more bread. We said no, but I still had a big chunk of bread on my plate. We only said we didn't need another piece of bread. But he took away everything including the butter. He needs to be trained and know what he can do and can’t while customers are still eating. Taking plates away no matter what is not his only job! He was rude.“

“Food has definitely gotten better. We had the Calabrian clams, duck leg, white bolognese, grilled prawns and blood orange cheesecake. Everything was wonderful and fresh, could be better with some minor tweaks. The clams should be served with some bread to soak up that delicious sauce. The prawns would have been much better if it was left whole with shell and head on, it was slightly over cooked. All in all, a fantastic meal!!“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place. Can’t wait to go back and eat there again.“

“This restaurant was new to this area, and it did not miss. We really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the staff. We booked a reservation last minute and they were able to accommodate us on a pretty busy night. We hung out at the bar until our table was ready, and it was in a semi-private room, which I liked. We will be returning.“

“Our 40th Anniversary dinner was amazing last night! From the service to the food and meeting the chef after! What a wonderful restaurant especially for a special occasion! Thank you for an amazing night!“

“A chic bar with elegant Gatsby themed vibes throughout.“

“What a treat to stumble upon Parker & Quinn! It was an intimate atmosphere and a perfect night for me and my 10-year-old daughter. The kids’ menu was so good (the pasta was homemade and so delicious that I had to enjoy a few bites!), and my margarita flatbread was incredible. Great service from our server and another gentleman (the manager?) who came over multiple times to check on us. I highly recommend you check this out if you’re looking for something away from the hustle and bustle and generic nature of Timed Square. Chef’s kiss!“

“Stunning food and warm friendly service“

“Honestly, Heard of this place, thru word-of-mouth, and when we walked up at 4:50 on a Monday - walked up and there were 45 people in line. The entire time they were gracious, working hard to get everyone seated (shout out to Zoe) and the food was phenomenal. Ivo was the best, even working to make space for our table. Best chicken in the city!“

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“What a gem! This space is easy to miss if you don’t know it’s there but is so gorgeous inside you’ll remember your visit. I was able to grab dinner here and loved the selection of cocktails as well. The salmon was astonishing. My guest and I had to agree to share because we both loved it. I ordered one of their Eucalyptus mocktail options which came topped with a delicious foam which was tart sweet and floral. We ordered the duck as well, Spring vegetables on a bed of lentils and the ravioli which was earthy. Very interesting menu concept with dishes inspired by the elements, a great place to explore something new. My bestfriend said they made her the best drink she’d had all week.“

“Great food and attentive staff. Second visit and it won't be the last. Great mixologist too.“

“I was so excited to see that the Village Green was opening for lunch in January. I knew just where to take my special friend Janet for an important birthday! What a treat! Delicious, beautifully presented food with a novel twist! The service was absolutely superb. Definitely go there for lunch!“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“
