“It was our first time in NYC, and we stumbled upon Gabriel’s. We instantly loved the warm ambiance and felt so welcomed. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by the owner himself, Gabriel—a great guy, clearly passionate about his craft and providing exceptional service. We enjoyed the Gnocchi Sorrentina, Pappardelle Cacio e Pepe, and Mozzarella di Búfala Caprese—the freshest Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. 10/10!“

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

“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 ❤️“

“Great place. Definitely must come back again.“

“Good food and coffee and friendly staff👍👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

“Amazing brunch this morning. Excellent and super friendly staff, food was amazing!🙌🏼👍👏“

“Outstanding grub and good atmosphere“

“Just exceptional. In a city of amazing bars, some of the best in the world, we can’t think of one we’ve enjoyed more. Explore every cocktail on the menu. They’re delicious, and also perfectly prepared and all photo worthy. But don’t miss the best part: the vermouths. The best selection of vermouths that we know of in America. Many of them have everything an excellent cocktail has to offer right in themselves with a little ice. And if you have the good luck to have Diego manning the bar, just ask him what you should have.
A marvelous experience not to be missed. 15 minutes from midtown Manhattan.“

“The backyard of the restaurant is great for a summer night out with their open roof. They need to expand the food offerings.“

“Beautiful bar and people , I felt at home and am new to the area but enjoy and recommend. I am impressed.“

“It was good even we are late we still having a cocktail drinks“

“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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“Obviously we like thaï food as this is the the 3rd place in 3 weeks
Here the food is different not the usual curry dish or sate and oh soooo good.
Loved the 2 shrimp dishes we ordered, the shrimp cake as appetizer was excellent.
Our waitress Siri was friendly, helpful and always smiling.
Do try the lychee martini.“

“We had an excellent experience with the staff here.

We came after dinner at neighboring Fulgrance on their recommendation, because of El Pingüino’s fortified wine list.

It was a lovely experience - nice calm place to enjoy a thoughtful menu.

Don’t miss the basque cheesecake with any staff recommendation on beverage. Did we need to eat that after a full dinner? No. Was it worth it? Yes.“

“The first time I heard about this place was when I saw their huge sign while driving. My friends and I decided to give it a try and enjoy the food. Since they were running late (or maybe I just arrived too early!), I ended up sitting at the bar and ordered a happy hour margarita with chamoy and Tajín on the rim. For $20, it included chips and guac or salsa—not bad at all. The margarita was delicious, and the chips were fresh.

Once my friends arrived, we ordered a few dishes to share: the enchiladas, tacos a la barbacoa, and tres leches cake. Everything was good, though the food itself wasn’t something we’d rave about, but we definitely enjoyed the overall vibe. I do want to mention that the staff was fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable.“

“My beautiful Grand daughter studied for the GMAT there. We enjoyed a delicious sandwich. The bathroom was nice I washed my hands. My beautiful grand daughter took a shot of whiskey then rode a bus LOL anyhoo great time in Brooklyn for all it was also Halloween and this fun loving grandma dressed as a cat. Then I chased my husband Roger around for some fun LOL I recommend coming here during the day esp sundays very nice reminds me of Ireland and I have ancestors there“

“Stopped in for a beer our first night in NYC. Staff were really helpful and made great suggestions on craft beers to try. Small spot, may take a minute to get a seat/table but worth it. Recommend trying their flight as well as any of the crafts that they recommend 💕“

“Wow place was amazing, food was delicious , service was excellent. Place is a must come back to for all occasions. music and dancing is also an extra.“

“We were in town for a wedding, and this was the place where they hosted a pre-wedding celebration. The atmosphere was exciting, and regardless of the large crowd, the servers did an amazing job. Everyone had such an amazing and memorable time.“

“love the skillet dish and food was awesome“

“Comfortable place to catch a breakfast bite, plus they serve beer & cocktails“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“

“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.“

“Cool place for Beer! The food is good! I had the cheese curds for appetizer and steak & eggs 🍳 All if it was very good! 👌🏽“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

“This is a great “hole in the wall” bar. These folks provide great service and the food is exceptional!

Wheelchair accessibility: The access to the restroom is down a flight of stairs, but I observed a sign at the top of the stairwell highlighting the effort to be made by the staff to see all peoples of all abilities can be assisted to the restroom.“

“Esperienza unica a New York, atmosfera elegante, ma al tempo stesso giovane e frizzante. Servizio impeccabile e piatti di rara perfezione. Esperienza stellata veramente unica!“

“Great sandwich app was a little qurkie nice place would read“

“Best Bloody Mary! Best Saturday play list! Great bar! ❤️“

“Amazing. Stay away so there's more room for us.

If you do sneak in 😂 you will find friendly people serving OUTSTANDING food (small, careful menu) in a house that Jazz built.

Jazz folks this is the real deal. Everyone else should just come and enjoy the magic of live music.

Pro tip: come early for a seat for the 1st set or arrive late to get a seat by the 2nd set (most likely).

Vegetarian options: Small menu so check beforehand. My 2 vegetarians were fine.

Parking: If you circle they will appear

Kid-friendliness: If they like jazz (and can be quiet during the music) no problem!“

“Excellent food. I usually don’t trust fusion food but they do it right. Authenticity in Korean flavors with western interpretations.
Can’t speak so much for drinks since I don’t drink, but vibes are great, food is amazing - also love how there is a specific sequence to the food. It’s very carefully curated.“

“(Nov 2014) Uber cool high tech mod fitout and no shortage of opinionated beer nerds (complete with obligatory cult brewery t-shirts). Even at 2pm on a Sunday arvo. Doesn’t quite have the warm of a traditional US bar but still pretty friendly. Very international list with a focus on left of centre. Pricing on the high side but reflects the quality of the beers. Served via cabernet glasses - a nice touch. I really grew to like the place and they use a small space well. Can I say it reminds me of Two Row in Melbourne? And....btw....the only other bar I have ever seen where punters are punching out tasting notes!“

“Amazing food! Highly recommended! One of the best food menus in the neighborhood!“

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“Great concept. Drinks were on point, bartender was on top of things. Quick serve cocktails with complexity that would take 10x the time to build from scratch . Small quaint space, an expansion is in smart move in the future.“

“Eavesdrop’s been one of my neighborhood go-tos ever since it opened up a couple years ago. They just do everything right: consistently great classic and original cocktails, unfussy light bites that are better than they need to be (order the olives, for instance, and you’ll get a big plate full of Castelvetranos in a puddle of warm olive oil with good bread), and acoustics that allow you to appreciate the well-curated music and your conversation without yelling. What really makes it are the staff, who are unfailingly kind. Vern, one of the hosts, does such a great job of making guests feel welcome even on packed weekend nights.“

“Tavern 157 is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a cozy ambiance that perfectly balanced charm and sophistication.

Every dish was great. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was evident. Pair that with their impressive drink selection--especially their sangria--and you have an evening to remember.

The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made fantastic recommendations. They made us feel like we were the only table in the house, even though the place was buzzing.

Tavern 157 is the perfect spot for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or just indulging in amazing food. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. A true five-star experience!“
