“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“วันนี้ไปทานพนักงานบริการดีน่ารัก อาหารอร่อยมากคุ้มค่าให้เยอะจริง“

“Williamsburg was largely unimpressive until I tried this place. I was there for breakfast and their French toast is the best I've ever had so far. Not your typical toast where you pour syrup on top. This bread is perfectly moist and sweet and does not require syrup. There is a creme topping you can pour over that made for the perfect combo. There are so many places that claim best pancakes, best French toast, etc. French toast, here, is a must. Now I want to come back and see about the pancakes. For savory, we got the merguez omlette. I am not a huge sausage (the sausage not pork, might have been beef) fan, but this was really flavorful and I would absolutely order again. I am usually not excited about brunch, but this place does it for me. And, the ambiance is excellent. I love the exposed brick and overall decor. I could not stop commenting on how positive the experience was and how much I want to return. And, I am one of those people where virtually every place is forgettable except the ones that are not. This is my current #1 for breakfast/brunch until further notice. Highly recommend for all occasions (and that you make reservations in advance). Definitely going back soon!“

“Cannot WAIT to return! To say I was blown away with the professional and kindly approach of the staff, is an understatement. From the super waiter, Mike, to the GM, Matt, and all points in-between, AND adding in the amazing food, drinks, desserts and ambiance.. WOW!! Kudos for the highly memorable evening! Thank you.“

“5/24 Update, the restaurant invited me back for a meal to redeem their service. To be fair, the restaurant was busy for yellowtail season so understandable.

The food was amazing, we got the scallops rice, salon pasta, Wagyu ribs and the clam soup. I prob would do without the scallop rice for future but everything else hit the spot. Esp my favorite, the clam soup.

Thank you Won and the Capitan of the restaurant for taking care of us! I will definitely be back soon again.

Previous update: Came as a party of one, was seated immediately. Sat and waited for 30mins, no one came to serve me or take my order.

Trendy spot, was excited to try the food, but terrible service.“

“A+++. If you enjoy and understand cocktail culture and the history then this is a must visit for the weary traveler or enthusiast. I always make it a point to visit for over 10+ years. The hospitality and attention to detail in the art or craft has always been consistent. Salute to the staff and employees of this establishment. May they keep the craft alive for many years to come! Please be respectful and patient for the high demand is eminent. 🥃👌🏼“

“Worth a shot to go to! From the host to the server to the bartenders, everyone was friendly and efficient. Many people came by for the first times as well so not alone on that. Ordered Mary Pickford from the Happy Hour Menu and a Sun King from the In The Shallows Menu along with the Warm Cookie Trio. Would I come again? Yes! This time with friends and family.“

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

“Great place to watch the sunset over NYC! Great drinks and good food! Excellent service.“

“Really cool speakeasy with a local vibe, not the usual tourist crowd. The service was excellent, and the bartender was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The cocktails were a bit disappointing compared to the atmosphere, but the pizza from the spot down the hall was absolutely fantastic. Overall, a great place to spend an evening and soak up a more authentic New York feel.“

“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.“

“We can’t thank Matthew and the team and Bee’s Knees more for helping us to throw the most amazing welcome party for our wedding weekend. They were so accommodating with all of our requests and our guests were raving about the cocktails and the atmosphere. I would 100% book a party here again, they have multiple spaces you can choose from and I found their offering to be so much better and more reasonable than any other venue in the area! Thank you thank you for a wonderful night!“

“I swear my friends and I could live here. We’ve been coming to Madonna almost since their open… for dinner, for the pregame, for the many of birthdays, for the afters. The staff is a huge part of our experience and why it’s always first on our list. The music is always right, the cocktails are delish beyond belief, and the food… don’t get me started on the truffle fries. Trust!!“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“Amazing people, really good energy and memorable cocktails 🍸“

“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊“

“Incredible meal. However the service was what really made the dinner so memorable — we loved Andrew’s hospitality. He said he had only been working there for a few months, which we were surprised by because he talked with such passion like he had been there for years. It was really refreshing, as we know how jading fine dining service can be for waitstaff. He was just so enthusiastic and made us feel at home. My partner and I both agreed this dinner reminded us what makes NYC dining so special. Thanks for a great birthday dinner!“

“Craft cocktails in a cozy colorful outdoor patio. The perfect place to relax after a long week!“

“Great, delicious food! Beautiful setting. Great Service.“

“The cocktail selection is phenomenal, it’s balanced and delicious, even the people sat next to us agreed! My favorite dish is probably stuffed farfalle with snow crab. It’s creamy and just the right amount of crab, flour and sauce to balance each bite! You’ll be amazed!! Another go to is definitely steak. It’s lightly fried on the outside but juicy inside which is not overly oily, spicy crunch on top adds an Asian style kick. A gem place for sure!!💕“

“Always love coming to NYC and having a cocktail (or two or three) at The Up & Up!“

“Wow! 🔥 This place was absolutely incredible.

The food was beyond delectable—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. And honestly, the food deserves to be mentioned twice because it was just that good.

The service struck the perfect balance between warm, welcoming hospitality and true professionalism. The atmosphere is the ideal blend of chic and rustic, creating a cozy yet elevated dining experience.

We had a small mix-up with our reservation, but the manager handled it graciously and quickly got everything sorted out, which made an already great experience even better.

Part of me wants to keep this gem a secret, but it’s too good not to share. Then again, I don’t think they’re hurting for customers—they were completely packed on a Monday evening, and after dining here, I can see exactly why.“

“Delicious pea salad, steak and potatoes with chimichurri, and black sesame bread pudding. The staff was incredibly cognizant of timing since I was seeing a show. I would absolutely go back for the steak and potatoes alone! The scallop crudo could have used more balance on the acidity but that is my only note.“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“Fantastisk plass, og utrolig gode drinker! Anbefales!“

“Great drink and great vibe“

“The food here is absolutely fantastic. The uni series is a must-order, and the washu katsu omurice completely blew me away — easily one of the best things I’ve had in a long time. The green tea cheesecake is delicious too. The staff are all lovely, and you can see why this place stays so busy. We’ll definitely be back, and I can’t wait for their winter special. Highly recommend!🤤“

“Modern Tiki bar with retro vibes. Super fun atmosphere.“

“Fab place, great service, amazing cocktails“

“Loved my first dining experience here. I strongly suggest you make reservations ahead. When my brother and I arrived there were no open tables available. We ended up eating at the bar. The only drawback to sitting at the bar was the noise.

The service was fabulous. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. Our bartender was also attentive to make sure we were okay.

We started with KFC (Kanto Fried Chicken). It was super moist with a nice crispy exterior. The dipping suace pairs well with the chicken. Then we had Chicken Adobo with garlic fried rice. When it arrived our server prepared our meal in front of us. Lastly, we ordered the Lechon platter. When they discovered my brother is allegic to seafood they came out twice to confirm if certain ingredients were acceptable to use. The Lechon Platter was worth every penny. It was delicious and the dipping sauce added to the flavor.“

“Great atmosphere!! Food was amazing!!! Niamh was fantastic so friendly and helpful! The best espresso martinis EVER!!!!“
