“Highly recommend Gus’ Last Word. This neighborhood establishment is cozy and chic at the same time. It is a perfect balance of retro and modern vibes. I was comforted by yummy chicken pot pie and unique cocktails. It has a lovely bar, with lounge areas, dining section and outdoor space. Shout out to the chefs, Christian the bartender and delightful Erin who provided great welcome, informed explanations of beverages and food, and great service. I will be back.“

“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 👏“

“Finally able to visit and so happy I did. My drink, Dutch Revival, is my new favorite cocktail. The winter flatbread was delicious. Loved the vibe and hospitality.“

“The Japanese and Italian flavors mixed well and are to come back for. I stayed in the hotel where the restraunt was attached. In the area, with a focus of cocktails and table service for an upscale environment, it was delightful.

I love cocktails, and the servers were personable. Nothing pretentious. They focus on service and taste! Our food was excellent and the drinks were even better. It's a pleasant experience.“

“Nice cocktails & stunning View!!!“

“Best Gin & Tonics in the city!!!“

“I LOVE THIS BAR SO MUCH. I have been coming here forever after work and I celebrated my birthday there the other day. The staff (KC, Skai, Molly, Kate, Cyllan, Cory, literally everyone who was there) were so accommodating and made sure that my night went by smoothly. Drinks were amazing, service was fast despite it being a busy night. I reserved the back room for my lil party and it was actually perfect. Music was lit and the DJ was great. Me and my group had so much fun and it was the best birthday I’ve had in a long long long time. Absolutely spectacular.“

“Great presentation. Great drinks. Great service. Overall great experience 😎“

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

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“This place is fire!

First of all, wow the decor. The bar itself is a whole experience that clearly had a lot of thought put into it. From the unsuspecting entrance requiring you to ring the doorbell all the way to the funky seating area with sexy devil pictures and a ceiling covered in string lights, you genuinely feel transported into another realm. Some of the drinks even come with dramatic effect! (Even the bathrooms are in on the atmosphere - and clean!)

Of course, you come for the atmosphere and stay for the drinks. There's a little of something for everyone, and the alcohol in these drinks mean business! I appreciate that they rank the strength of the drinks, as there is a notable difference even between the 2 and 3 skull ratings. Although the drinks may seem pricy, the size of them makes it well worth it and they certainly don't skimp on the liquor. And who doesn't want their drink with a side of fire?

I could've easily stayed at Paradise Lost all night, and my partner and I are very excited to visit again soon!“

“Amazing food and drinks!🥤“

“I really love parlour room. The bar is so cool. When you walk in it has a cool vibe like old New York. I like the bottle display and they have a shaker machine that super shakes the cocktails. So fun: the bartender said it’s the only one in nyc. I love the cocktails and i definitely come here when we see a show or after dinner drinks, but the food here is good too! Then we pop over to bo peep the speak easy next door“

“Had a fantastic experience at Haswell Green’s. Fun drinks, great service …will absolutely be back for happy hour!“

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

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

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

“Rynn is dynamite spot and super slept on. The bartender in particular impressed us with her care and attention to detail and her craft. Ask about how they make the ingredients for her carefully curated cocktail list, it is a labor of love and it shows in the quality of the drink. The food is also incredible, you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, both light and filling with perfectly balanced flavor and spice.“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“Ooh my goodness, I enjoyed. It was pricey but worth it. One of the best burgers I’ve had since I’m a picky eater the waiter was very happy to accommodate me the drinks were delicious as well.i will surely recommend the place. I will continue to eat there. The pl was very nice and clean ?“

“Booked it for a private special event. Kira the event manager did a fantastic job organizing everything. She recommended a photographer and Yut the violin player so the event was magic. Thank you❤️“

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

“Excellent! Great services!“

“Espectacular, la vista, la atención y los cócteles. Todo es perfecto“

“Food was good but menu was little confusing. Tried to order a breakfast and got a sandwich. The food was good just as with most places in NYC shrinkflation hit here just as it did most others. That doesn't diminish the service or the quality though. I sat at the bar which is set up as classic American diner, which gives it a homey atmosphere.

Will visit again given a chance but not in the immediate future.“

“We scored a table late on a Thursday night. The bar is swanky and cute, with great interior design and personal touches like the illustrations on their dishes. We arrived to low-lit restaurant/bar with vibey music and a fresh new menu.

The cocktails were great. The Apollonian was citrusy Smokey punch and the Limoncello Milk Punch felt so special.

The Stracciatella was a delightful surprise, while the Calabrese was a spicy hot wing that made me wanting more. For mains I had the Smashed Meatball Parm which DID NOT disappoint. The fries had great texture and the sandwich was so flavorful it left me wanting more. We topped it off with the delightful Cannolis that was crunched and sweet.“

“Fab place, great service, amazing cocktails“

“me and my bf walked in at 6:30pm on a Sunday and there was a good amount of people. maybe bc this was right before new year's and after christmas.

the music was loud and vibes were fun. the drinks tasted good! the fries were surprisingly deliciousssss, i am drooling thinking about it. the sliders were okay. staff was friendly.“

“Drinks and apps were wonderful before the show at beacon. We felt like we were in Europe. Fantastic! We will be back!“

“I love Le Crocodile for breakfast. Juan was super kind helping me with my tea and coffee order. For me, I love how calming and beautiful the environment is. Most of the all the staff ( Tak included!). I go regularly and enjoy it every time.“

“The food and service is amazing. We did the a la carte menu and had the wagyu pancit and the lechon. The noodle were delicious, we could have done a second order, but we had to leave room for the pork belly with crispy skin. Drinks were amazing too. We will definitely be back.“

“I enjoyed dining here. The service was good. Food was good. Blurriness mimosas and aperol spritz.“

“A standout cocktail bar that offers a refreshingly unpretentious atmosphere and a deep dive into the world of Italian Amari. Despite focusing on a single core theme, the drink menu showcases remarkable diversity. Prices are fair, and the overall experience is one of the most distinctive the city has to offer.“

“Seoul Salon is such a trendy and aesthetic restaurant and the food didn't disappoint. I'd definitely recommend making reservations because it was all packed for a Thursday dinner. To start the meal, they give this crispy ramen cracker snack with a hot sauce drizzled on top and it was so nostalgic to the snacks I used to eat when I was younger. The whole menu looked so delicious, but I ended up trying the Soy Scallop with Gim Rice, Rose Tteokbokki with Gimmari, and the Seoul Salon Fried Chicken. The soy scallops were fresh and full of flavor. The Gim rice paired perfectly with the scallops as well. The Rose tteokbokki reminded me of eating a margherita pizza because of the cheese and basil toppings with the sauce. Iloved the Gimmari that came with the dish; it was nicely fried and dipping it into the sauce was perfection. The fried chicken took me by surprise. The batter was so crispy and airy and the chicken was so juicy and flavorful. The sauce had a good spice kick and it was only drizzled lightly on half of the chicken, so none of the chicken got soggy and it's great for people who can't handle the spice. Overall had a great experience at Seoul Salon. I would come back again and again.“

“Sama Street made me and my tummy happy from start to end. I'm not sure how it's such a hidden gem given the quality and creativity of the food and drinks and all around great vibe.

I showed up shortly after open to a completely empty restaurant, so the bartender, Jamie, suggested some delicious drinks (not that you can go wrong with any of them). Of the few drinks I had, my least favorite (but still solid) was the Jacket Required, which is really just a slightly modified old fashioned. Everything else was incredible - some ingredients seem out there and might might throw you off, but every drink I had was really more than just the sum of its parts.

Food was also great, especially if you're into family style meals. Skewers were cooked to perfection, bok choy wasn't just tossed in some soy sauce, flat noodles were great. The sundae dessert included some of the tastiest and unique ice cream flavors I'd ever had, made in house.

Overall will definitely be back.“

“Dear Maud is my go-to brunch spot in Hoboken! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and cool, making it an ideal place to eat + chat with friends. Their drinks are solid, and the food is even better, with a great selection of dishes to choose from.“

“I took my brother here for his birthday for some drinks. The place is really beautiful. The bartender really was friendly and definitely makes delicious cocktails. Their happy hours are Monday thru Friday from 4-6:30 pm.

I had their Aperol Spritz and their chocolate peanut butter espresso martini. Both were great, but I really enjoyed the martini. My brother ordered long island iced teas. Normally, I wouldn't drink one since most places make them way too strong for me. The bartender made it really smooth.

This place also has an upstairs area where you can rent for private parties. The minimum amount to rent the upstairs area is 35 to 40 people. They do serve food as well, so there are catering packages available.“

“Absolutely love this place. Been many times. Consistent quality food and service. This is a one of a kind gem in Manhattan“

“Best cocktails, great bar staff“

“Stay Away!!! Just kidding, this spot is popular and rightfully so for all the right reasons. The atmosphere is bot chill and warm for lounge lizards wanting a great watering hole. The drinks are fantastic, The Monk Fashioned being my favorite, reminds me of a magical Sazerac. The food here is delicious too, been a couple times and look forward to returning again soon. Love the Sweet And Salty Grilly with Gruyère, Prosciutto, Fig Spread, Arugula on Sour Dough. The Fonduey Mac & Cheese is also a cooze fest of cheesy goodness, also the Whipped Feta with the Everything Bagel Pretzel. Always love to get the Crab Cakes. Though I’m eyeing the Skewered Thighs for next time they look like a divine dine. Fortunately we’ve gotten in without a reservation, though I’m sure it’s good to have one.“

“Great drink and great vibe“

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

“I made a reservation for a group of eight at 4:30 pm, and luckily, the only available seating for larger parties was the bench near the big window—precisely where I hoped to sit. The rest of the restaurant features intimate tables for two. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right amount of elegance.

We loved their cocktails, and every dish we sampled was outstanding. The service stood out as exceptional; our server was both attentive and charming. They were also very accommodating to one of my vegan friends, taking the extra step to ensure certain dishes met her dietary needs.

I highly recommend this spot if you're in search of a relaxed place to catch up with friends over delicious food and drinks.

Dietary restrictions: Plant-based options are offered.“

“სასიამოვნო ინტრიერი, მეგობრული გარემო, უგემრიელესი კერძები.. რეკომენდაციას ვუწევ 100 % ❤️🇬🇪“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“This spot is so cool! There’s nothing super extraordinary about it but the ambiance and drinks were great. Upon walking in the host had a very laidback but welcoming vibe and we were seated behind the bar where the space was romantic and you could people watch through the window as well as they had hooks available for coats/bags. We ordered the Mucha Chicha, La Lupe and Cab Sauv which were tasty. Oh and they give a cute bowl of seasoned popcorn which was a fun touch! The music was good, bathrooms were clean. I’d definitely come back!“

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