“We were in New York for about a week, we ate out two to three times a day and Gabriel's stands out is probably the favorite out of everywhere we went. The food was amazing, the drinks were top-notch, not to mention the bartenders expertise, and the staff including Gabriel himself were incredibly friendly and welcoming and happy to chit chat and share cool stories about new york. Loved it!“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“This place is so homey. As a Thai who hasn't been back home for years, the dishes here really hit the spot. Their crab curry is very aromatic and rich in flavor (with a nice kick too). The softshell crab was so divine and the pork was delicious. We would definitely recommend!“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Lovely place, a cute little nook in the middle of the heart of nyc. Food selection is great and is very delicious. I just hope it was open until a little later. Bar area is beautiful and the bartenders are very profesional and friendly. Would definetly come here after a jazz concert or a Broadway show to relax, have a delicious meal and pair it with a great cocktail. Recommending to everyone!“

“Great atmosphere and service. And the truffle fries were terrific!“

“Great atmosphere. Perfect place to hangout and chat before a show. Best bartenders in town. Sexy BINGO is so much fun!! 😊“

“I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. The food is awful. Mozzarella sticks were frozen, Cajun fries, a handful of paprika drowned over the top Today beer that's normally $6 was $8 plus a $4 tip, tax and looking for another tip. Bill should have been $20 it's $30. Live with your wn failure. Don't put it on the customers. Pretty bartenders won't cover incompetence.“

“This is what we call “fine dining.” We did not reserve the main dining room, as one of our party did not care for prix fixe. We opted for the lounge as you can have from the menu or prix fixe. When you first arrive, you are greeted by a pleasant hat/coat check lady. We arrived early and said we would wait for the other couple and were invited to wait in the intimate cocktail area. The cocktails were superb and served with a house-made cocktail snack. When the guests of the party arrived, we were escorted to the lounge area. An intimate area with about six to eight tables. After being seated and greeted by the head server (maître d' or captain), who explained our options, we all opted for the menu. After looking at all the choices, we decided to split two appetizers. Even though the number of items on each choice was uneven, the server said, “Let me take care of it". And then beautifully presented plates arrived with equal portions. And it only got better from there. The entrées were each explained in detail, including their origins and how they were prepared. I could go on and on. The fish, beef, duck breast, and pork were everything we expected and more. We all commented, maybe the best we have had. The house made desserts were perfect. I had possibly the best cheese plate I have ever had. The entire staff of servers were professionals and enhanced the evening. The most disappointing part of the evening was when a guest entering the dining room (after removing his overcoat) came in dressed in Dockers and a short-sleeve polo. This is an insult to the owner, the chef, and the entire staff at this fine restaurant. But maybe he was an elite or a “special” person. We all said we would be back.“

“My husband and I are checking off the top 10 East Harlem eateries. The Earls beer and cheese is ranked #5. Their drink and food met lol our high expectations. We had blackberry hard cider and BBQ brisket taco
The Back to Back - fried chicken breast in buffalo sauce with French fries. The services were very outstanding and food were delicious. The place were filled with professionals and rather quite. The back room was very cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Great place to hangout and always drink specials. Best bartender in town by far.“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“Leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung.“

“Top notch service/experience“

“Very nice service and selection. I am here 1nce a week or every other week. The Bartender is great and attentive without being overly so. Cheers!!“

“did the work, bought the shirt! awesome space!!“

“Come for the trivia stay because it's a really awesome place to be. E's Bar is preeeetttty awesome and quite a good size to be able to have a good time! The drinks are reasonably priced and the Tres Fish Tacos are BOMB. I appreciate the fact that they choose to be a sustainable bar with their LED lighting and purchasing of carbon offsets. It's hard for bars to reduce their environmental impact so any step matters. It always seems like everyone's having a good time here- not trashy at all, just a good neighborhood bar. And they have theme nights too which is fun.“

“Love this place! Always a good time when Saraphina is there! Fun atmosphere, and friendly service 😃“

“What an amazing place!
From the moment we walked in, we felt truly welcomed—like being among family. The atmosphere is warm, joyful, and full of great energy. The owners are wonderful people with big hearts, and it truly shows in the way they run this place.
Karaoke night was such a fun and special experience! Everyone was incredibly kind, respectful, and friendly—people offering chairs, smiling, and making you feel comfortable without even knowing you. That kind of environment is rare and priceless.
This is more than just a bar; it’s a community. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back. May God continue to bless this place with prosperity, joy, great people, and many unforgettable nights. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space to share, laugh, and enjoy life.
Highly recommended! ✨“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“The atmosphere was amazing , staff was polite an courtesy, The hot wings are AMAZING!!Perfect Date night atmosphere! Management was polite an on point with every customer! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’ll be back !“

“The Hamilton is a cozy, warm, bar with an excellent selection of whiskeys. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will help you find the perfect cocktail for your tastes. Joe, one of the bartenders, also host a a rotating exhibition of different artists about once a month. You can get a perfect Manhattan and a piece of artwork for your livingroom. 😊“

“Leanne, is an exceptional server and always brings a big smile to the table, great Food, and atmosphere. Fun and friendly place.“

“Love this place. I am here for work and just wanted to have a chill night. It is Monday at 9:20 PM and they have live music! The ambiance is amazing, and the bartender Nathaniel makes some fantastic drinks! He checked on me multiple times to ensure I was good and liked the drink. The espresso martini is to die for! I can tell they use real espresso and not just liqueur. If I were local this would be my go-to place, but for now it is where I will be coming to when I’m in town and I’ll be sure to recommend it to my colleagues who travel up here and the ones who live in the area. Love it.“

“I used to live in the area and it took me 7 years to be back at Dingbatz, it's a small venue and sometimes you can't even move around but it is what it is. Sound, staff and service are great and don't forget to purchase some merch.“

“Easily the most relaxed, down-to-earth, cozy bar in the city. I brought my dog here often when I lived across town -- dog and family-friendly. Beer is always high quality and the bartenders are just beyond wonderful. (Shoutout to Geoff, Hannah, Joe, and Bear!) Highly recommend going in on the first Monday of the month, where you can catch a great jazz night. I've since moved to Philly but am moving back and when I do, you'll know where I'll be on a Saturday. :)“

“What a cracking bar/restaurant! Linda and the team cannot do enough for you. Genuine hospitality at its finest! Would definitely recommend.“

“Love The Notch! Can’t wait to see what great bands will be playing there this year and the new friends I’m bound to make! The Notch Family keeps growing! If you haven’t been there yet…… get to it! ❤️🎶🍻“

“Frank Sinatra would definitely had a drink here“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now, and it truly feels like my second home. The staff are amazing! They are always so welcoming and down to earth. The vibe is unmatched, and the food is always fresh and delicious (the shrimp tacos are my favorite!). Great drinks, great people, and an energy that keeps you coming back! The events and DJs they host are always on point too. Couldn’t recommend this place more!“

“Love this restaurant. Obviously the view and location are superb but the food is also always delicious. Beautifully presented and lots of it. The service is consistently excellent as well, from the person who seats you to the wait staff and bus people.“

“Love this new edition to UES. Will be adding this to my go-to spots.“

“My friends and I stopped in here for a Guinness and ended up hanging out and having fun! It’s not a tourist trap and just a fun place to hang out.“

“Great place to visit for a quick snack and a drink after a long day at work. A lively bar with special events happening every week like the trivia nights on Wednesdays, offering fun experiences to you and your friends. Their happy hour drinks are also really worth it too.“

“A great place to relax with friends over coffee, brunch or drinks. The ambience is chilled and I love the huge windows looking over the street. Iced coffee really hits the spot. I had the tomato soup with grilled cheese which was perfect to warm up on a wintery day. There's a great crowd here which has a local, hip vibe. Best for small groups of two to four.“

“Laid back vibe, excellent wine choices and I sampled my first ever oyster - delish!“

“If You Love Soul-Disco-Funky Music, the Ashford & Simpson's Sugar Bar is the Place For Your‼️🔊🎶🎵🎙️✌🏻🥇😍“

“The best rock n roll in town! Swing through! Great food and friendly staff!!!“

“I had the good fortune to walk into Da Capo on Madison Avenue near Mount Sinai where I had a delicious lunch and a great latte. I actually met the entire family of owners who are understandably very proud of their cafe, since it’s really a fabulous cafe.Alex and Aris who are brothers do a wonderful job managing their restaurant. They also have another location across from the Javits Center. In addition to having wonderful coffee and teas as well as sandwiches and desserts, they occasionally have musicians perform in their dining room!“

“Incredible place, love to see it in good hands as my grandparents (the former owners) would be thrilled to see“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“God bless Harlem Late Night Jazz!!“

“Fast delicious service first time not last“

“Came here on a Saturday morning while waiting for my wife to get her hair done. Amazing spot. Tons of taps and a stocked fridge. The staff is amazing. I was the only customer and the bartenders kept me entertained the whole time! If you drop in, take a moment to appreciate the hand drawn tap list art. Its the gift that keeps giving :)“
