“super cute and aesthetic place. love the way making payments are set up by paying over the phone and also can decide to split tabs which makes it super easy and simple. i have been here 3 times already and I have enjoyed the pleasant service and the refreshers and coffee as well as the sandwiches. will post pics of my most recent visit.“
“Arrived early for 7:30 reservation for our party of 4 and had a $15 glass of wine at the bar before being seated. Staff is attentive and excellent service throughout the evening. Wings (Buffalo & Thai Chilli) were very good. I had fettuccine w/shrimp that was fine. The Bananas Foster shared by the table was very good. DJ played good music throughout the evening and the placed filled up nicely as the night went on. Definitely good spot for groups, etc., but not intimate. Plenty of parking nearby“
“Food is outstanding! Service is excellent and friendly! They do everything well. It is an upscale but cozy restaurant that is very clean which says a lot nowadays. There is a nice family oriented atmosphere and the quality of everything is consistent.“
“One word, phenomenal! My best friend and I had dinner here during our weekend trip and Daniel exceeded every expectation we could’ve had. We chose the Five Course Prix Fixe menu with caviar service and both the food and staff were excellent. We had such a great experience that we’ve decided to visit a new Michelin Star restaurant every year as a girls trip. Thank you all for making our experience exceptional.“
“The food, cocktails and view are excellent. Only the service failed. The waiter was impatient and inattentive. I ordered a cocktail that had been very difficult for me to find in other places and the Bartender made it delicious. It was a rainy day at times there was no visibility but the atmosphere and the drinks were very pleasant.“
“I really like this restaurant! The food is high quality and the experience is fine dining but fun/relaxed.The menu is composed of bits of familiar recipes with Korean twists and French culinary techniques. There’s galbi, squid ink fried rice, uni, and mäd toast (which sounded monstrous but I didn’t get to try it this time) plus much more. I liked that the menu is small-sized and minimalist with clearly labeled snacks, little colds, hots, mains, extras, and desserts (menu is posted outside the entrance and on website). The current menu that started in mid-March has snacks/appetizers such as spicy yellowtail tart, beef tartare, fried shiitake mushroom rice balls (I think?, it’s labeled as mushroom arancini on the menu), pork head katsu, and scallion buns with unique sauces on the side ($20 per person, either no one or everyone orders). I tried the mushroom tempura with onion dip too! Everything was elegantly and adorably plated. Our server explained what’s what and suggested how to best enjoy some dishes. They have a really extensive drinks menu (many pages), complete with your usual offerings and their own unique cocktails, rice alcohol, maekgeolli, and even alcohol free cocktails woohoo! Not sure if all of the ice cubes for the alcoholic drinks are engraved with the restaurant’s name and logo but ours were and I thought that was a really cool and personal touch.An equally important part of my dining experience was the atmosphere and service. The staff are attentive, frequently filling glasses low on water and folding napkins when you step away. They also keep the music bopping and adjust their playlists. The lighting is a little dim and the interior is ‘cool club’ vibes but for a slightly more sophisticated audience. It’s a place to come in casual or dressed up a little for fun. It’s best for smaller groups of 1-4 I think based on seating arrangements but they seem to be able to accommodate slightly larger groups at some bigger tables and in the back room. Expect to pay $50-$100 if you get one item from each category on the menu and a drink. Probably $100+ if you get more or multiple drinks. The bar area in the back is across from the kitchen, which might be cool to peek at to see some staff members curating orders.I like that it’s on a quieter block in ktown area. The price range and location filters out loud and teen crowds, so it feels like a great place for young adults and Millenials to catch up or go on a date. It’s a place to sit down and chat while you savor small bites and wait on more food to arrive, so you’ll probably need like 1.5-2 hours if you’re going for a natural relaxed pace. I also saw a family of 5 enjoying dinner together here. Lastly, this is random but the hand soap is heavenly. I can’t wait to see what other menus they craft!!Dietary restrictions: They will ask about dietary restrictions and can modify recipes. If you don’t eat certain ingredients/foods, they can omit snacks too and adjust the price for you accordingly.“
“Had a wonderful meal this evening at Upland, really enjoyed my artichoke entree and was pleasantly surprised by my lobster main! Luis was so professional and attentive, I loved my complimentary guava sorbet and the honey ice cream was also delish. I highly recommend them, thank you for taking such good care of me for the two hours I was with you.“
“This was my first Michelin experience in the city and it did not disappoint. The food and drinks were to die for. The service was impeccable, everyone was very friendly. We sat in the bar/lounge esque area next to the window, it was super cozy, the interior is gorgeous too! 10/10!“
“Love this place. Ok it's pricey but well worth it! Today I had the roasted cauliflower with crab and green curry. Completely unexpected depth and layering of lush flavors. Highly recommend! My lunch companion had the octopus and brussel sprouts salad and could not stop raving about it. This place is amazing.“
“BAR REVIEW ONLY. Came here recently Sunday afternoon close to their closing time but we were welcomed warmly regardless—decided to grab seats at the bar. The restaurant is nice and fancy looking, loved it!Started off with caviar—SO DELICIOUS!! We tried the Siberian Sturgeon ($75/25gr) and Classic Ostra ($95/25gr)—perfect portion for a light bite with drinks. Cocktails were great as well—highly recommend the “Caviar”tini—vodka martini with pomegranate jelly shaped to mimic caviar in the drink!Overall, service was AMAZING! Our bartender was friendly and attentive and made the best drinks!“
“A lovely dine-in bar-restaurant in UWS. I have been there during the happy hours (3:30 to 6 PM) and I would recommend the same. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, best for a group or an intimate date. I would highly recommend the Consulate's Old Fashioned which has Mescal. The French 85 is also good.“
“Good food! Loved the grilled octopus and branzino -- a must try! Lobster pasta was tasty but it was a bit on the sweeter side; I would skip it next time. Focaccia was unique but I think it's a bit overhyped. Overall, service was friendly, food was good, and the ambiance was chill. I would definitely go back.“
“A Plant-Based ParadiseWillow Vegan Bistro is a dream come true for vegans seeking delicious, familiar comfort food. Their menu expertly transforms classic American dishes into exciting plant-based creations. Expect high-quality ingredients, innovative flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere – a must-try for any vegan in NYC.“
“We had dinner here to celebrate my mum's birthday before going to a Broadway show. The service was great and the food was delicious! We had a pre-theatre menu, which was good value, and everything tasted so good. One person in our group has a gluten allergy; they had a GF menu which was nice. I would definitely recommend this place!“
“The vibe in here was great, the service was efficient, and the food was delicious. We had the potato croquettes, smash burger and Margherita pizza. The burger was amazing. For drinks, we had the Kinky Boots and the Kiss Kiss Bang. The kinky boots was terrible - it tasted like soap and only soap. The kiss kiss bang was good, though, and our waitress was nice enough to swap the drinks out for me.“
“This place rocked. We wanted something close to the High Line and this place popped up. We made a reservation via Open Table. After getting delayed on the subway, we were a little late. The hostess was understandable and we were seated at a table right away. It was busy and lively. We ate the sourdough bread, citrus salad and deviled eggs. It was all good. I am certain anything is good on their menu. Thanks Cookshop!“
“This wine bar in midtown is a gem among the sea of Irish Pubs and delis. The service is top-notch and international, adding to the welcoming vibe. Went alone, sat at the bar and ordered a charcuterie which was excellent value and quality, paired perfectly with bold reds, handpicked with the help of their awesome servers. Loved it.“
“The absolute most friendliest staff. The entrance is disguised so if you’re confused, just look at the address number. The space is very cozy, they have complimentary coat check and the staff were amazing. Both my friend and I enjoyed our cocktails. Did not try the food; but the people next to us did and it smelled sooo good.“
“The crispy eggs Benedict is a treat for the morning - the preparation is a bit of an improvement of the poached egg on this classic style Benedict. The French toast perfectly done with a thin outer crisp and fluffy inside. Great way to start the day!“
“Ocean Prime is a must if down in NYC. We had came for my wife’s birthday and had an amazing experience. Our serve Ripon was amazing and made great suggestions for drinks, entrees, and desert. He made sure my wife’s birthday was perfect. The food was amazing and the drinks were great too.“
“I cannot state enough just how delicious the food is here !!! Soooooooooo good !! Everything was full of soo much flavor and the steak had to have been one of the best cooked steaks I’ve ever had perfect temp and seasoning.It’s pretty inside and perfect to go for a date night the ambiance is nice. Definitely recommend this place“
“Great unique specialty cocktails. Most cocktails on the menu are gin based but they do have a full selection of spirits at the bar. The bartender's were very knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere is very elegant and great for a date night. Highly recommend“
“Everything about this place was great. We did brunch. We were late but they were very accommodating even with a packed house. Bottomless drinks was great. They were constantly refilling our glasses and we were able to make the most out of it. Food was delicious too. Pancake burger was a must try. Will go back again.“
“The ambiance is inviting, with tasteful decor,but what truly sets this restaurant apart is its food. Each dish is a masterpiece, crafted with care and attention to detail. But it's not just the food that impresses; the service is impeccable as well. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, always on hand to offer recommendations or answer any questions.In summary outstanding food and top-notch service.“
“It was a day from hell and I took my daughter with me to happy hour for dinner. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Our waiter was one of the kindest people I've met and the whole staff was amazing. The food was delicious and the drink specials were more than fair!! Everything was top notch and the vibe was fun and relaxing. I recommend this place 100%!! I can't wait to go back and try brunch there. We checked out the menu and it looks amazing!!“
“Food, drinks, and service were incredible! My husband and I stumbled on this place on a date night in NYC, and it was absolutely perfect for a date night! The only thing is the restaurant is tiny tiny so don't think about having a large dinner party, but for a more intimate dinner or lunch, I would highly recommend it! The burrata was our absolute favorite dish! 10/10 recommend!“
“I pass the Penrose frequently, a block from the 2nd Ave Q entrance on 83rd. It is a perfect spot to meet up after work for drinks and snacks. Good music, friendly atmosphere. I tell everyone, my husband and I had brunch with our wedding party there. Great place. Recently my dad passed, and when trying to decide where to celebrate his life with extended family and friends my sister and I decided on The Penrose and emailed the events manager Chaya. She helped with everything, never got tired or short with her answers. We would think of all our questions after we signed off. Chaya made recommendations, helped our ideas come to life, and made a difficult moment easy. Day of memorial: Chaya and her team created the perfect atmosphere. Our server Emma and bartender Audrey were exceptional. The guests kept telling us what great service, atmosphere and food, but repeated to us how great the servers were. We had 30 people, in the back area with tables and bar seating. Chaya helped us choose the right amount of food, and beverages. Emma kept the area clean with out being intrussive, Audrey kept us “hydrated”. We had a buffet food area - food was great!They put to go boxes out for guest to take treats home. Thanks to Chaya we were able to truly celebrate dad, she had his play list, which we provided pumped in and a slide show with his great life moments on the screen over the bar. He served in WWII, a decorated war hero, with great taste in music. They also insured the Honor Guard ceremony, presenting flag and playing of taps went off seamlessly. As I said in my first paragraph The Penrose is a great place, but on this day it was exceptional. Chaya, Emma, and Audrey turned my dads celebration of life into a warm family moment that we will remember fondly and proudly. Thank you Chaya, Emma, and Audrey! If missed names for behind the scenes peeps sorry.“
“Ayza is a favorite restaurant for my friends and family. Although I skipped the Chocolate Martini for which the restaurant is known; Prosecco and appetizers were a delicious alternative. We sat in the outdoor heated space. I have also eaten in the trolley acquired during the initial stages of the pandemic. The indoor space is small but most tables seat four people comfortably. I visit Ayza every time I visit NY. I highly recommend this space for fun.“
“Very cute place with friendly bartenders! They have downstairs piano lounge that reminds me of New Orleans :) The menu downstairs is different from upstairs so that has some cool variety and I loved the spicy margarita I got. They also were able to make a custom drink with the passion fruit liquor they had.“
“Started with oysters , all 3 were delicious, cherry and chili were my favorite of the 3 . Highly recommend the caviar slides. Absolutely deliciousBacon was good. Very rich and best shared with 3+ people as it's very rich . Was delish and unique and very different. Got the sirloin steak as recommended by server and had the truffle butter which was so flavorful.Finished with the sticky toffee pudding which everyone should have the experience of tasting as it's perfection! Highly recommend. Server was amazing. Hostesses were very nice. I was alone and sometimes restaurants can be weird if you're by yourself and they were fantastic and made me feel super comfortable. Beginning to end was a great experience and I am glad I listened to my friends who recommend I come here!“
“This is a great spot for a date or special occasion. Dinner is Pre-Fix and the menu changes seasonally. The dining areas are very inviting. The staff was very detail oriented and just enough but not on top of you. Basically the service is impeccable. As for the food everything is timed great and everything we ate was awesome. I thought I might leave hungry initially but that was not the case. Must go to spot for a romantic dinner“
“As always the food and drinks were amazing - it really does not get any better than an RH dining experience. Carla and Trinity were our servers and they truly made my daughter feel so special on her birthday. A special thank you to Sasha for the incredible hospitality.“
“chicken empanadas to start were out of this world! lobster soup and steak were so tasty steak cooked to perfection! staff amazing, so friendly and welcoming especially when they found out we are from Scotland! chatted with lady behind bar, sorry cant remember your name who has visited Scotland many times! fab!“
“Food was excellent. We ordered the cauliflower bites as an appetizer and it was so delicious with a little kick and enough for the 3 of us to have several pieces. The chicken and steak sandwiches with French fries was so yummy. This was a great after theatre restaurant. Quick service without being rushed. There is also entertainment there.“
“I went here yesterday for lunch oh my was I blown away, the star of the show was our server Ayleen the woman is brilliant her smile lit up our day so professional and respectful she also has an extensive food knowledge like I've never seen before she knew every ingredient and exactly how to explain the menu, now let me tell you the place was super packed she had so many tables I saw this woman fly through the restaurant servicing quickly and with a smile on her face she's absolutely amazing she gave me manager vibes I hope this place knows what they have she's one in a million, I'm actually a restaurant manager myself. I will be coming back many times i hope i can request her each time Thank you Ms Ayleen I hope you see this you are awesome“
“Always lovely service and excellent food, but we were seated in a busy corner with a lot of small tables crammed together, and with the staff coming by and people squeezing in and out, my chair gets hit repeatedly, and I'm a very small person with my seat scooted in!“
“Another brilliant meal! I never miss the opportunity to eat here when I’m in NYC and I Love sharing this place with people I know. An exceptional menu, great cocktails, amazing and attentive service and always a delightful culinary experience. Bravo!“
“A great variety of well seasoned food. The portions were pretty large. The atmosphere is nice for a date or just to hang out with friends. I think they have two levels. Our large group ate downstairs. I would recommend the chicken enchiladas and the shrimp Po’ Boy.“

“One of the best live music nooks in Manhattan.I went there to experience a Jazz show only, and didn't really have a chance to taste the food. Ordered desserts and cocktails which were not that good if I don't wanna say kinda disappointing. I only leave the stars here for a friendly service and bougie atmosphere.“
“First time there yesterday..the place is beautiful. The food was OK. Our waiter Jonathan C was awesome!! The blue crab doesn’t need the powdered sugar on top. The alligator bites batter was too salty and the cornbread was on the dry side….half a loaf is only 2 small slices for $8…not cool. And last but not least, the bread pudding should have been warm and the caramel sauce taste burnt. I will still give it a 8 out of 10 rating.“
“We only discovered St. Eves a couple weeks ago - great neighborhood spot! Food was very good, service on point, nice atmosphere. Seating a little tight though. Big plus for us - byob! On the pricier side but well worth it. Will definitely included St. Eves in our regular restaurant rotation.“
“A great experience overall, with no complaints really! This was my second time here and it’s still just as good. Unless money comes easy to you, this isn’t a casual eatery in my opinion (perhaps lunch though, as I’ve only ever been here for dinner). It’s definitely not cheap but for a special occasion it is a wonderful treat.The cocktails are all Broadway themed which I think is fun, and the one I had was packed with fresh, muddled fruit which was delicious.For food, I can’t recommend enough the goat cheese and pistachio soufflé, so tasty!! I also get the steak frites which is always solid in my book. My other guests enjoyed their crusted branzino and chicken with lemon and sage; two other solid choices. My mother in law had the meatloaf which she said she enjoyed but was perhaps slightly too sweet for her taste. Although, admittedly, her tolerance for anything sweet is notably low, so interpret that how you will. And for dessert the banana split was outrageously good, especially the caramelized banana and toasted marshmallow. The only thing I would change there would be to swap out the scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate flavor, as the strawberry clashed a bit in my opinion.Again, this place is wonderful and I can’t wait until I can afford to go back and try other things on their menu.“
“Came here for a bday lunch before a Broadway show. My parents were coming in from Penn Station so this location was terrific. Service was excellent from start to finish - I had left a note when confirming the reservation that it was a bday and three people greeted us with a happy bday message upon arrival. Our food was delicious (I had the breakfast sandwich and fresh squeezed orange juice) and as a bday surprise a low key dessert was sent to the table with a candle (perfect for our celebrant). I’ll be back in the future and recommend for a nice but unpretentious pre-show brunch/lunch for sure!“
“It’s alright here, pretty loud music, decent food, but I probably wouldn’t come back. The Tara Rose burger is pretty solid, but nothing to die for. Drinks are quite pricy, so I would recommend coming during happy hour, if you’re looking for that.“
“I never write reviews but I had to make the exception for Bar Room. I came in on a whim for the first time last year and have been returning as often as possible. Siobhan the bartender has been great ! She makes amazing cocktails and even better conversation. What I tell my friends is come for the drinks, stay for the bartenders. With a combination of staff and amazing drinks this will be my regular spot for a long time.“
“Early March my and wife and I held a baby shower there. They were extremely accommodating with us and our guest. They also were very friendly and it worked out very well. We had families and most of the ladies at the tables and we had filled the bar with our drinkers and younger crowd.Music was good/ food was good / service was great! Anne was such a great manager worked hand in hand with our coordinator to make that day such a great experience.Overall 10/10 would highly recommend your next event there.“
“Ten out of ten would recommend !! I went with four friends & we all enjoyed ourselves. It wasn't busy at all on a Tuesday night. This place is still fairly new, opened less than a year ago. The vibes, the decore, the service were all A+ ! I know a few of the reviews mentioned the choice in music but we didn't mind it at all. It was a mix of soft jazz, soul music etc. The volume was perfect, table conversation not a problem. The owner was nice enough to come introduced himself, take in our feedback in offering vegan dishes on the menu. I wasn't able to eat anything other than the vegan appetizer they offered but my friends enjoyed the dishes they ordered. I wouldn't mind coming back here again at all as it's a SEXY chill spot with great vibes & drinks. Nice addition to the neighborhood! P.S Bring your wallets, this place isn't cheap =) Enjoy !!“
“Fantastic American lunch spot! I had the chicken sandwich and the sriracha mayo was just immaculate. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and we were seated right away without any reservation. The staff and servers were also very kind and helpful throughout our meal! Would recommend to anyone wanting a good lunch in Manhattan!“
“10/10 would recommend! Had a great time on my dinner date with my bestie. The food was soooo good as well as their mixed drinks. The staff was nice, friendly, cheery, and attentive. No long waits, quick service, everything was flowing. A little pricey, but definitely worth it.“
“Such a delicious lunch that was so welcoming after a weekend of eating & drinking Shared the pizza with my two cousins as a starter and had the seasonal salad. My only sadness is that this is an hour away from my house that I won’t be able to frequent more often“
