“For what I ordered I was pleased my only complaint was my cold sesame noodles could have been more spicy and more oily. But this place right near the air Tran is very clutch to take food to go to jfk with. Everything at jfk was closing by 9pm and expensive. This place is on Uber Eats and I just ordered pickup“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“I had my 49th birthday dinner here and it was fantastic. The food was perfectly cooked, delicious, and fresh. The service was just as good along with nice environment where me and my family felt comfortable eating and trying new foods. Sabry’s restaurant gets an A+ rating.......“

“Briken was great! I order a chocolate martini and it was very good. He was kind and attentive even when opened my wallet and change fell out. He was quick to help pick it up. I finished the night dipping my complementary potato chips that are house made in my chocolate martini“

“Last night We came to eat at Mission Ceviche for the first time and we left very happy for the incredible quality of food and service. 100% recommended with a tremendous desire to return soon. Good service and everyone very friendly I had a very wonderful birthday.“

“5/27/2026
Sometimes all a girl wants is some oysters! I’ve been eyeing this place for awhile when visiting the city and finally took a chance to go. Very classy inside with a nice bar off to the left. I did one of each oyster and they were every bit worth the price briny, meaty and ohh so good. I really enjoyed just myself, my oysters and a little happy dance after each bite. If you like fresh and quality look no further this is the spot. I was able to walk in, get a table and get down to business.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“Great experience everything was perfect 😍“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“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.“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“They just revamped their menu and I’m all here for it! My favorites were the rice noodle rolls wrapped with tofu, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, carrots and preserved radish, Thai beef stew and the Panang short ribs. The beef stew was SO tender and collagen rich, literally every bite was melt in your mouth. Short ribs, also as expected, tender and flavorful. The Thai ice cream was a perfect finish - sweet toppings, cold coconut ice cream, warm pandan sticky rice - all different flavors and textures but all work together in harmony.“

“Overall, a good meal with a few highlights and a few misses

The standout for me was the buckwheat ice cream. I expected a rough, grainy texture, but it was surprisingly smooth with a subtle buckwheat aroma. The sweetness was very restrained and only became noticeable after a few bites, which made it especially enjoyable. The mushroom rice was another favorite. The seasoning was spot on and brought out the natural flavor of the mushrooms. The combination of green onions and mushrooms also looked beautiful on the plate. The fried chicken was solid as well, tender and well cooked

The beef patty was fairly average and didn’t leave much of an impression. The vegetable tempura, unfortunately, was the weakest dish of the meal. The batter was uneven, and there seemed to be too much residual oil, making it feel quite heavy

The seating arrangement was the other downside. We were seated in a corner where 3 tables had been placed in a relatively small area, which felt a bit cramped. The experience would probably be much more enjoyable in one of the more open seating areas

Overall, some dishes were excellent, some were less memorable, but the buckwheat ice cream alone was worth trying.“

“Lovey fine dining experience with my fiancé. We love coming here when we travel to NYC!“

“For us, the food was hit or miss. Right from the start, the Sardine toast was the star of the night, then there was aRazor clam special, which was 50/50... the clams were great, but we didn't prefer the melon taste to the dressing. After that, we had the mortadella and sourdough. Both were very good. Ate that we had the snap pea salad and the mitake mushrooms with garlic fudge. Again, both were excellent. It was the mains that just fell apart for us. The bucatini had slices of squash on top that were dry, and a bit too much basil, which overpowered the dish. Other than the basil, it was lacking in flavor. The other main was the hake and risotto. While the risotto was heavily citrussed, almost too much so, it was still tasty, but the fish, again, lacked flavor/ seasoning/ salt. Overall, the meal was a 3.5, but we bumped it to a 4, because worth the omission of the mains, it could have been a 4.5-5.“

“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!“

“Great happy hour ($13 for 6 oysters and a beer, option for a small upcharge for wine instead) and rotates which oysters are available for the deal. All appetizers were also great and I’d heartily recommend the marlin crudo! Everything was delicious and the staff was efficient and offered insight into differences/preferences. Would absolutely return!“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“Kann ich nur empfehlen, in Service, Preis und Geschmack nahezu unschlagbar! Seiten so gut in NYC gegessen, sei es Seafood oder auch Anderes. Bei uns waren es: Appetizer: Spanish Octopus Entrée: Bone-In NY Strip Dessert: NY Cheesecake P.s.: Es gibt auch vegetarische Gerichte.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“service and food was amazing“

“I don't throw this around often, but this was easily one of the best tasting menus I've ever had!!! I’m not even gassing it. Flawless, no misses, no notes! Every course was creative, beautifully executed and packed with flavor combinations I never would've imagined.

Tucked in the back is an intimate chef's counter serving a seven-course tasting menu. Watching the chefs work right in front of you while every course is personally introduced makes the entire dinner feel like a story unfolding course by course. Some of my favs: The Lox, Chicken Wing, Pork Collar + Olive Oil Cake.

If you're looking for your next special occasion dinner or you're just a foodie who appreciates an unforgettable meal add this one to your list. Trust me!!“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Wow!!! Very impressive, everything fresh, delicious & huge servings. I had chicken tenders, my mom had fried shrimp ,we both had with sweet potato fries that had a slight syrupy taste which were amazing, we got hush puppies and calamari to split..both great..we ate and still have plenty left for a full meal.. also have a seperate full bar, frozen drinks, tv's etc service was also great ..I definitely recommend ...oh and great prices“

“I went to celebrate my sister's birthday. Everything was exceptional! From the time we walked in until the time we left. My only concern was that we did not take pictures of the food, but you will have a great experience.“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“Loved this place, coming back to NYC just for this restaurant!“

“My Husband & I Love This Spot So Much. We Come As Often As We Can Which Is A Lot. The Staff Are Very Friendly And Never Had A Bad Experience. I Will Continue To Come, Sit, Eat & Drink.“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“I had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, strong drinks. Plenty of food, beautiful restaurant. Definitely worth it. Plus we got a little loud and they were fine with it. Didn’t feel threatened lol“

“What a beautiful restaurant! The interior is stylish, elegant, and has a lovely upscale atmosphere.
Looking back, it’s such a shame that we had a late lunch earlier that day, because I wasn’t very hungry and only ordered a salad and the Peruvian rice with prawns, which is actually listed as a side dish.
But wow… what a surprise! My salad was absolutely delicious — without a doubt the best salad I’ve had in New York. You could taste every individual vegetable; everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. And the Peruvian rice with prawns was simply amazing. I enjoyed every single bite.
Paired with a nice glass of Chardonnay, it was the perfect meal.
The service was warm and friendly, and the whole experience was wonderful. Next time we’re in New York, we’ll definitely be back for a proper dinner. I can’t wait to try more of the menu!“

“everything. food is delicious!“

“This Father’s Day I got to experience Strange Delight with my family. It was a 10/10 experience.

Our server was the bartender as well and he was amazing. If ever you go; ask for Mike. Mike gave us all his recommendations and they were all a hit!

The service was superb, food delicious and the restaurant itself was a nice vibe. Even the bathroom was nice and well kept.

We’ll be back to try the rest of the menu.“

“My god! the bartender, the one who the grey hair is definitely a 90/80!!!His specialty Lechee Martini was to die for!! way better than the tattoo guy! But the service from all was spectacular! please come by and give this place a shot! Great pork chop!! Will return!“
