“I am a 30 year customer. 30 years experiencing consistent excellence across the board. Gabriel and his sons have put this restaurant at the pinnacle of what fine dining can be. Not fussy. Not pretentious. Simply excellent in every way, every time, across 3 decades. Restaurants of this quality are few and far between.“

“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.“

“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 Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

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

“Good oysters and a happy hour that runs until 7pm. The oysters were fresh and while I’m not a huge fan of red sauce I did enjoy the freshly shaved horseradish. That and a few other small Spanish plates and $12 martinis made this a pleasant low key early evening out“

“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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“

“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.“

“A cocktail-forward spot, but the food keeps pace. Caught in that limbo between lunch and dinner I stopped in for a quick bite and drink. Positive vibes all around and a sense that everyone was exactly where they wanted to be.

They have an extensive drink menu with both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options. The mezcal gimlet was smoky yet slightly sweet with cucumber adding a fresh lift. The jasmine and cucumber fizz was light and floral. For food, I kept things on the lighter side with the hamachi crudo and caesar salad. The crudo impressed—it was surprisingly delicate and finished with a touch of smoked salt. The caesar was classic crisp romaine, just enough dressing to coat without drowning, with crunch scattered on top.

The place itself is versatile—date night, post-work drinks, catching up with an old friend, it fits the mood. Next time, I’ll arrive hungry with no dinner plans in sight.“

“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“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“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 💕“

“love the skillet dish and food was awesome“

“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.“

“Great spot to hang out and I loved the music!“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

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

“An incredible selection of beers, both draft and cans/bottles. The owner is very knowledgeable about what they carry. There is a simple menu of grilled cheese sandwiches and different types of dogs, but they are so good, especially after a few aforementioned beers. An easy way to spend an afternoon. Lots of beers that refer to cats.“

“A must-visit spot especially for Gossip Girl fans with such a fascinating history! We dug into its past and fell in love with it even more. The espresso martinis were incredible, and the atmosphere and staff made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming 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 Experience ~ Nice Atmosphere, Fabulous Food and Staff , we will be back !“

“I finally checked out this bar after living here on and off for years. Nice and chill spot. Very cute and dimly lit inside with board games and pinball machines to play which I found extremely unique. The highlight of my night was meeting the bartender, Dee. She was adorable and very sweet. She's very welcoming and accomoodating and extremely friendly.“

“Seriously one of the best restaurants/bars I’ve been to. The service was unbelievable and the owner actually served us (we later found out he was the owner and were shocked). We told him we were celebrating our anniversary and he helped us so we had a longer reservation.
The live DJ was so good and we shazamed so many songs that he played off of the records.
Such a great date night spot for the atmosphere and the food was amazing. Small menu but every single thing on it was amazing.
The wine was tasty, the drinks different but exciting. Would recommend the sole e vento white wine, the coa de jima drink, and the cold sesame noodles specifically.
There is also a really cute outdoor area with an outdoor bar!
Overall 12/10 and would most definitely return.“

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

“Comfortable, clean, and pleasant. The bar staff were terrific and our waitress was exceptional. The fried chicken may have been the best I’ve ever had.Thank you.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“
