Staff was warm, service was on point all night, and honestly the espresso martinis alone are worth the visit. Guests are still raving about them. 10/10.“

“It was a divine brunch in every way ! The service was exceptional and attentive. The Caesar salad was delicious and unlike any I have had before. The Pappardelle was a culinary masterpiece, truly and the tiramisu was beautifully designed. It was pure ambrosia, except for the whole coffee beans embedded inside. I could have done without those. Thank you for making my Sunday an unforgettable one. It goes without saying, that inside and out, Locanda Verde is an extraordinary restaurant !“

“bartenders were all nice you can tell they enjoy what they do!“

“I've had the pleasure of dining at the Red Room Bar several times.
The name is deceiving because they have a well curated menu that even my most picky friends have found a favorite dish to enjoy. Who knew gluten-free could be so delicious.
The food has a Haitian/French twist elevating some classic favorites. I personally recommend the wagu beef smash burger with fries.
The atmosphere and decor fill my maximus soul.
Rich colors, velvet, marble and chairs that beg you to stay a little longer and enjoy another cocktail. They have a nice selection of mock-tails.
The staff is warm and friendly. I hope you come on a day that Richard is the host. He is like the cherry on top of the most decadent dessert you've ever had.“

“Tucked away on the second floor, this Jersey City gem is a true hidden treasure—you’d walk right past it if you weren't looking.

It’s the perfect atmospheric bridge between a nice dinner and a night out dancing.“

“What is it like to be in Manhattan's only Orient Express-themed bar? When I came here on a late Friday night, the place was fairly crowded. The main room is narrow, somewhat resembling a train car. I ordered two drinks: their "Hemmingway" and their "Not an Espresso Martini". I liked both of them. Overall it's a nice, upscale cocktail bar.“

“Fantastic oysters in both quality and selection. Staff is casual and friendly. The kitchen is competent and there are good non shellfish items including a decent burger. However I found my strip steak lacking and though I was told it was a Pat LA Frieda steak, it was not the quality steak I've enjoyed from him before.“

“Chris was our waiter today. We came in with my wife’s 100 year old grandfather and 99 year old Grandmother on her birthday. They are from Shanghai. Chris immediately knew to bring kids waters, 2 hot waters for the grandparents and 2 regular waters for myself and my wife. Service was fast and accurate. The food soup base was perfect and the food was very fresh with great portions. The ice cream for grandma’s 99th birthday was a great touch. We look forward to coming back again.“

“Had a wonderful time here for my birthday yesterday! Service and food were excellent, especially this tuna tar-tare Roxy-style with whipped avocado and caviar. The management also went out of their way to make my night, which I really appreciate. The Roxy continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in town!“

“Lovely atmosphere. The food was super tasty, fresh, and authentic. Staff was friendly and wonderful, and cocktails were top tier.(Loved the Terina Basil) From the food to the warm hospitality and the elegant designs. What really makes this elegant restaurant out is the service, and the owners/management came over to our table and introduced themselves and made us all feel welcomed. I will definitely be returning!“
