“Really enjoyed the meal (wish the chicken was a bit more savory, but the chicken and waffle is nice and a decent portion. The coffee was very good and our service was top notch.

11/17/24 had the pork belly egg and cheese, and wow, it was phenomenal. A very adult take on it.“

“I just moved in the area and found out about this place from my friends who goes there all the time ( they are open every day from 5pm till 3:30 am!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, also nicely presented.Definitely will order more!“

“Best wings in the neighborhood! Get the Mojo or Sergie sauce!! I’m kinda obsessed with the tacos but this week I’m hooked on the ceviche. So good! Bella and her mamma keep a comfortable and friendly atmosphere all day long. Usually find Maribell dancing bachata with longtime Patrons and Bella sometimes twerkin behind the bar. Haha. Comedy night was pretty good and I believe there’s a DJ on Saturday nights. Pool table in the back and sometimes the jukebox is on.. ;-P. Great Place!“

“a truly excellent meal that was the highlight of our evening. Sophisticated enough for a beautiful date but casual enough to have a genuine, enjoyable time. I'll be thinking about the Uni Crispy Rice for many days. my only gripe was that the menu is a QR code, needing to use our phones. In an environment like this I would've preferred to not have my phone out at any point, but I will definitely be returning!“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“Fantastic meal! All the ingredients were sooo fresh you could tell they grew it instead of sourcing like other restaurants. Especially in peak of summer, the vegetables and berries were so sweet and clearly vine ripened. Going to start coming often for date night!“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“Our server Katie, hands down the best person I have ever met, sis came over with the most energetic attitude, filled my water within 30 Seconds of me sitting down, she answered any questions I had about the menu (there were quite a few) she was so attentive and made this experience one of the best ones. She made sure we were comfortable and having fun the whole time. She made our 1st time here definitely memorable for I’ll be back for my birthday in a month THANKS TO KATIE ????

“Stunningly great restaurant in all respects, especially food with the sweet potato and red snapper dishes being delicious, creative and original. The lamb kofta and the lamb main dish were also 10/10 and the naan bread is definitely worth it! Exceptionally nice service and beautiful restaurant. Do not miss this one.“

“Iconic. Feels like the movie The Menu but excluding all the bad parts. Staff noticed my partner was obsessed with their bread and surprised us afterwards with bread to take home! I softly mentioned I was interested in the sorbet and our waiter walked by confirming that I wanted the sorbet. How he heard that I have no idea, but this was some of the most attentive service I have ever received! Also their salad-esk appetizers are phenomenal. Treat yourself to this culinary delight.“

“Great atmosphere and service“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“Restaurant Manager Natalee Spotswood helped make our 25th Anniversary so special last night. USQ is still the best restaurant in NYC. We love celebrating here!“

“Uma experiência fantástica, com ótima música! Fui do Brasil a Nova York para conhecer! Show!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Loved our recent Sunday brunch at Lindens!! The outdoor courtyard was expansive and sunny and the tables roomy. Our servers were friendly and efficient. The food was wonderful and the trio that played funky banjo and guitar music was so pleasant. We will definitely return!!“

“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!“

“great spot for brunch! went in with no expectations and absolutely loved the chicken and waffles, the maple butter syrup they do here is unreal, honestly makes it difficult to go back to normal syrup now. service was great, would definitely visit again!!“

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!“

“That’s really nice restaurant“

“Delicious and great service! Fun late night vibe.“

“Service was excellent, food arrived quickly & was wonderful.“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“We’ve recently been venturing into Brooklyn more from nyc as we’re consistently impressed with the food (and have been finding it takes less time to get to from the UES than downtown..) I filtered resy for Williamsburg and made a reservation at traif since it was one of the top rated spots with great reviews. All I can say is wow - we had a GREAT meal, couldn’t pick a favorite thing we ate, and felt that every item we ordered was a standout, not just a few things. Our waitress told us the menu is consistently changing, so this may only be helpful for those going this week.. but some of the items we ordered - tuna tartare (ordered a second of these at the end of the meal it was that good!), octopus, snapper bao buns, scallops (sleeper surprise excitement), blueberry ribs, foie gras, truffle pasta, duck, finished with key lime pie even though we had absolutely no room. Drinks great too, will definitely be back!“

“The food was good! Server was okay. But she wasn’t too attentive. We had to consistently look for assistance with our food and drinks. We did choose to sit outside but was attacked by bees the whole time. I will try again (inside) maybe there will be better service too.“

“the next time I make love to my wife, I'll be thinking about the burger I ate here. phenomenal!“

“Very satisfying and refreshing salad. Apple streusel dessert was not a memorable order. Rather bready and not too warm. Ice cream scoop yummy but overall disappointing. Server did his job but had that very “cool” vibe that left me uncomfortable“

“We came in last Thursday night for some pre dinner drinks while on vacation and we're so glad we found this spot! Our trip was drink/food focused and the bartenders here did not disappoint. My husband and our friend had a "Ramos Gin Fizz", (which was literally like the best cocktail I have ever tasted), I would have had one myself but I was already three deep into the Cucumber Mint Collins (which was also delicious)! There was a great live band playing and it was just what we needed after not being in the city for so long. Can't wait to come back!! Did I mention the bartenders were awesome? (It needed to be said twice).“

“I was in NYC with my sisters for a sister trip, we were headed to the Hudson yards for a to around the Statue of Liberty and asked a man walking his dogs where to eat. He recommended this restaurant. He was spot on! We arrived around 3 pm on Friday. The waitress Nora seated us in the back room, which was very nicely decorated. She was very nice and super efficient. We ordered 2 burgers and 2 orders of fries, and they quickly arrived. The food was exceptional, hot, savory, and delicious. The restaurant was quiet and charming with just the right flare.“

“Great Food this has been on our list of places to try and it did not disappoint!“

“Dinner was outstanding.. I suggested it and went with two friends that also owned another neighborhood in the restaurant and they were so inspired by it. They too are desiring and working on making their restaurant seed oil free. It feels so good to eat at Chambers knowing that they don't. Use canola, soy bean, safflower, sunflower, toxic oils with proofers and only use extra-virgin olive oil butter I believe and coconut oil? The service is outstanding so different than the next everything is so fresh and responsibly sourced. It's my favorite restaurant these days, but my friends might turn into when they become free, which is very important to me Thank you Chambers for doing such a great job “

“Waiter was extra kind and friendly!! Meal was delicious. Thanksgiving away from home. Atmosphere very nice.“

“Hopping vibe here at Forgione.
Aged Tuna Crudo starter special very good.
Halibut on cauliflower purée absolutely excellent.
Lamb Roundhouse with lamb neck croquettes soooo unique.

Highly recommend.“

“Fresh food, excellent service, and dog friendly ?

Grabbed a quick dinner on a Thursday with a friend who has a service animal ? and would definitely recommend.

We got a salad, a burger, and a pasta which were all very good. If you are looking for a simple fresh salad I recommend the little gem lettuce, it was simply delicious.

The server must’ve realized that we were sharing and served the burger cut in half and the fries separately. It was such a simple but appreciated thoughtfulness ?“

“After a visit to Ferrari with my client Monkey Bar is the best place to have lunch. And as always the ambience is just enough, Inloge when I walk in for lunch and it feels like dinner, very cozy atmosphere, but when a patron didn’t touch their drink and the bartender didn’t find out to ask if everything is good with it, that’s sloppy for me, I enjoyed my sake and food but my friend just didn’t like his drink and he is not the type to say a word. Monkey bar is an amazing place to experience and I’m definitely going back again“

“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!“

“Lively, old NY vibe with great food and attentive service. I was able to get a table for one in the middle of the day on a Friday. Ordered the Minetta Burger, cooked to a medium temperature. Slightly more red than I’m used to, but likely correct. More fries than I needed. Really yummy! Would go again.“

“Great vibe, outstanding food and excellent service. What a top NYC restaurant should be.“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“AMAZING. I visited NYC this past weekend, and my friend and I randomly decided to pop in for caviar and champagne. We were able to be seated outside without reservations. When I say "outside", it was really more of a covered outdoor area with very comfortable seating and beautiful lighting. Our waiter, Austin, was very accommodating, fun, and attentive. We ordered the lobster rolls with caviar, and honey, they were DIVINE. The rolls were tiny but oh so good. We also ordered the truffle fries which were amazing. Be sure to visit the bathroom... it's stunning. I will be sure to go for dinner the next time I'm in NYC.“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“The Red Rooster was the highlight of our trip to New York. The moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth. The atmosphere is awesome, our server was the sweetest and the food! The fried catfish, collard greens, guacamole, cornbread and asparagus, oh, my, it was all delicious!! My siblings and I will definitely return!“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“Wow. The food was exceptional - I cannot recommend enough the frogs legs and the duck. Absolutely first rate - what a chef. And the bar staff were charming and made us feel included. Really a great night which - honestly- on a Tuesday in Manhattan is amazing!! I have to call out future music star CLANCY (that’s all CAPS) who ran the bar, bloody brilliant and what a talent!!“

“Solid breakfast burritos and great tortillas, which are like gold here. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet, but it’s just a matter of time - the salads look awesome. I moved here from Texas a year ago and love everything about the city (except for the rent), but I do miss Tex Mex and good tortillas. New Mexican is its own cuisine and sure hits the spot while also being healthier, and those tortillas are a game changer. So glad to have found this place, just had breakfast from here, and am already looking forward to going back.“
