I went with my cousin and we both had a blast... It was our first time going to IYKYK, and we're def planning on going back 💃🏼“

“Best menu- Delish good and ambience! Had the best time tonight!!!! Been customers for almost nine years and we love our staples💕💕💕“

“I was in on Friday for lunch , we sat at the bar. We were given the menu and a lunch special menu. We both ordered off the lunch special menu, and both got the same a pork jäger schnitzel with some French fries…15 bucks. The food was hot and tasty and the price was reasonable. The bartender was friendly and attentive, if you’re in the area this may be the best lunch deal in town.“

“Excellent service and menu! We had a wonderful night.“

“Totally loved my experience here! The chicken was soooo GOOD and DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS!!! Tina, my waitress, made it even better! Her customer service and welcoming hospitality was above and beyond.!!! Thank you Tina and whoever FRIED THIS CHICKEN!!! If you don’t clean the bone then you didn’t eat good chicken!!! ♥️♥️ Definitely coming back again!!“

“This location went from a 4 star to five star due to the customer service provided by Titus.
Here's the story, I came to this location with two teens and a wheelchair user. This location was called to confirm accessibility. There is a sizeable staircase with a chair lift to the left. When we arrived Nelson went about looking for the key to activate the lift to no avail. We were not deterred the family got the chair upstairs. Titus offered us free drinks for our effort. And by end of our 90 session we were surprised to find we were not going to be charged for food and he assisted with bringing the chair down.
But to high light a few other things, Titus and Nelson both provided instruction that helped us have successful throws, and Titus just had a great personality, he's was smiling, warm, very engaging.
We would definitely return hopefully the lift will be functional next time.“

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

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

“এই রেস্তোরাঁটি খুবই যুক্তিসঙ্গত মূল্যে অবিশ্বাস্যভাবে সুস্বাদু খাবার সরবরাহ করে। পরিষেবাটি অসাধারণ, এবং সামগ্রিক অভিজ্ঞতা অসাধারণ। দাম সাশ্রয়ী রাখার পাশাপাশি এত উচ্চ মানের খাবার বজায় রাখার জায়গা খুঁজে পাওয়া বিরল। নিঃসন্দেহে, এটি আমার অভিজ্ঞতার মধ্যে সেরা রেস্তোরাঁগুলির মধ্যে একটি। This restaurant offers incredibly delicious food at very reasonable prices. The service is outstanding, and the overall experience is wonderful. It is rare to find a place that maintains such high quality while keeping prices affordable. Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants I have ever experienced.“

“Great food, great Guinness, great vibes! Wolfe Tone's was absolutely FABULOUS on Marathon Sunday! Derek was such a pleasure to work with in the weeks before our big day and he and the entire staff took such great care of us and our family and friends post-race! They truly went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed, and never without a drink! The location is also great, it was easy for everyone to get to and for everyone to go home from (so close to Grand Central and the 6 train!) One of the best pints of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland, such a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff members. Classic Irish pub food, which everybody loved! The classics are classics for a reason, and they were very well done. I’ve also had dinner here on a regular night, and it’s just as good! Great pub fare, generous portions, and a really relaxed, friendly vibe. It’s not just a perfect event spot, it’s a great place for an everyday meal too. I am so grateful to Wolfe Tone's for being a great, reasonably priced, delicious, comfy and cozy place to celebrate post-race. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to host any kind of event. We had a great time, great food and great memories. Thank you so much Wolfe Tone's!“

“Panzón in Greenpoint is such a delightful spot! I had the chance to sit outside, and it was the perfect setting for a relaxed, sunny meal. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and full of energy, making it a lovely place to enjoy food with friends or family.

The food was absolutely delicious. I started with the street corn, which was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and the ideal combination of smoky, creamy, and tangy. For my main, I tried a few of the tacos, and each one was packed with fresh ingredients and bold, vibrant flavors. The balance of textures and seasonings in each taco made every bite a little celebration of authentic Mexican street food.

The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a comfortable dining experience that made the meal even more enjoyable. Sitting outside in the fresh air while enjoying such tasty dishes added an extra layer to the experience — it felt relaxed, fun, and unhurried.

Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch, a quick bite, or just a great place to enjoy tacos and drinks in Greenpoint, Panzón is absolutely worth a visit. The food, atmosphere, and service all come together perfectly for a truly enjoyable meal. Highly recommend!“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“The perfect place for an event! We threw a birthday party in the back room and had the best time. Aaron was so accommodating and communicative throughout the booking process, right up until the event started. All the staff were so kind and helpful, and a huge shoutout to our servers Lucia and Brian! They made sure everything went smoothly, and the night couldn’t have gone any better.“

“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 ❤️“

“Outstanding grub and good atmosphere“

“Gabriel’s Restaurant near Central Park was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The food really stood out — the beef dish was perfectly cooked, rich, and full of flavor, and the tagliatelle pasta was just as impressive, fresh and beautifully prepared.

What truly elevated the evening, though, was the service. The host was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Every server we interacted with was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable.

It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the service hit this level. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“This place is so homey. As a Thai who hasn't been back home for years, the dishes here really hit the spot. Their crab curry is very aromatic and rich in flavor (with a nice kick too). The softshell crab was so divine and the pork was delicious. We would definitely recommend!“

“Jimmy's Corner is a must stop every time we're in NYC! The bar tenders are the best part of this place. We can't wait to go back!“

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

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“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!“

“Look, there are a million bars in New York. But few of them have a soul. You can feel the intention behind everything at Bar Americano from the weight of the glassware to the garnish on the drink to the playlist. They care about the little things that make up the whole experience. It's the kind of place you bring an out of town friend to show them what a real Brooklyn bar feels like. Easily one of the best no question, I kinda became like the michelin guys reviewing these XD.“

“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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

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

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

“Love this spot! Almost always able to get a seat at the bar or a table later on in the evening. The team members are always super accommodating, helpful, and friendly! And I've never had a bad glass or bottle of wine here - and they don't have my normal Italian staples, so that says a lot! Vibes are immaculate 🤘“

“I visited for lunch.

The food was very good … had the “Irish Spice Bag” … creative dish with chicken, hand-cut French fries, peppers and onions, and spices … something different ($20).

The service was very good as well … very nice and kind bartender taking care of the whole place … so need to be reasonably patient.

The atmosphere is nice enough. Nice vibe.

Overall, a reasonably good value.“

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

“Amazing unique cocktails. Highly recommended.“

“Eat drink be merry. Loved this place“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“

“We went around 11 pm as a large group of 7 but we had a reservation. They seated us in the back in the booth. It was very intimate and dark. The music was good but it was hard to hear other people talking. The food was good we had late night menu.“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Harmony our waitress was awesome, this place has the feel like you are in your home town.“

“I threw my birthday party at Bar Revival last night and we had such an amazing time. Everything from organizing the event with the very helpful manager Eoin, to the delish food platters, the stunning event space and the lovely bartender Scott who made sure everyone’s drinks were flowing. Fantastic bar with great vibes, music, food and drink. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“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.“

“Great tap/can/cellar list. Food is solid and staff is great.“

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

“Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the East Village.“

“Recently stopped in to kill some time, and this turned out to be the whole highlight of my NYC trip that day! I previously have had Other Half brews before and since this was conveniently located by where I was headed I added it. I had 3 different beers, the Broccoli, Bacon and the BA Sugar cereal and all were amazing. Staff was super friendly and they had some great tunes in the background. Highly recommend!“

“One of the few remaining places from my 'old day's' of stomping around the Village. Saw so much live music here. My wife DJed happy hour here for years. Collected all their tiki mugs and glasses. And drank every drink off of their menu. Good times for sure!!!“

“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“

“We were in the city for an appointment and decided to get a quick drink and a. It’s to eat before leaving. I had the Drinks and nachos were delicious. Staff was very friendly. We will be back.“

“The food is just the best.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“
