“Best cocktails, steak, oysters … in the neighborhood ✔️“

“All the drinks and food were satisfying. The menu, thoughtfully selected by an expert chef from prestigious Citarella Gourmet Market, delivered an incredible sense of satisfaction and sophistication, rarely found in a small bar. The reasonable prices brought even more satisfaction. Whether it's the weekend or any other time, if you're looking to enjoy a drink in a luxurious and pleasant atmosphere, there's no need to go all the way to Manhattan. This is exactly the place you've been search“

“Fantastic diner and service in an intimate setting“

“Always a great place for pre-theatre. Fantastic service and excellent food and cocktails.“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the fruits and vegetables is outstanding—always fresh, vibrant, and clearly sourced with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me is the pork braised dish. It’s rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. You can really taste the time and skill that goes into it. This place never disappoints.
Noise level is average for a NYC area restaurant and service spot on (we were a table of 15 for a birthday, not easy to serve even with a pre fix menu!!)“

“Amazing food and wine. Excellent service!“

“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“The food is elite. High quality Italian at a reasonable price. Great atmosphere and service. Plus a great playlist softly played in the background. You need to make a stop here if in the mood for Italian.“

“Best new wine bar experience I've had in quite a while. Wine selection felt carefully curated and the small plates were delicious. Bartender was fantastic - friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Will try the cocktails next time. Thank you for a great evening!“

“Amazing food, great service and knowledgeable staff! Definitely recommend for vegans and non-vegans alike. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Have been here twice with my family. Some great variety and flavors to explore here. The simple yet diverse menu made it a perfect experience to try multiple dishes for decent prices for each dish.

Personally, the Chicken Liver Agnolotti is a highlight on the menu. Very rich, creamy liver inside the pasta with a delightful sauce. The portion/pasta size is a bit small, but packs so much flavor, so I definitely recommend it! If you want to share, you might want to get 2, or choose more options in addition.

The Dover Sole was incredible as well! A little pricey, however, the fish was excellently cooked and seasoned, and the citrusy sauce complimented it very well. I appreciated that I received a thick filet portion of fish. As it is only the fish on the menu without sides; the optional sides of Potatoes and Broccoli & Peppers are fairly basic preparation, but add simple starch and veggie pairing with the fish if desired.

What I appreciated during my time there was the attention to detail by the staff. Very considerate and attentive and our waitress was very helpful in offering recommendations and answering questions I had.

The open kitchen makes it a very unique and intimate atmosphere. It is quite dim in there, so it does become harder to navigate the menu if eyesight is an issue. However, I will definitely be back and experience what more there is to offer here!“

“Amazing experience . Great hospitality and amazing food“

“Awesome music, very good wine knowledge and fresh food to die for.“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“We loved our dinner on Saturday - the vibe, food (notably the bread, short ribs, and salmon), wine, and service were impeccable. We'll definitely be back!
P.s. The complimentary bread and oil / salt is incredible. I would come back just for this.“

“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.“

“Some novel dishes like the cheez its and decent pasta but I found some dishes under seasoned. Service was also a bit off. Hard at times to find servers. It's a nice space and you can have a very decent meal here. But overall it was not a five star experience.“

“Transparently, I only came to meet a friend for one cocktail in the afternoon and she ended up being over an hour late due to an unforeseen circumstance, yet the staff was still so incredibly kind to let me sloooooowwwwly nurse my single iced tea and wait at a a cozy little table near the back until my friend arrived.
It was a quiet day there none the less without too many other diners. Whoever manages this team, does it well. Thanks for making my alone time, not feel so alone.“

“The home of hospitality - this is a family owned and run spot in Little Italy! Very well loved and an amazing selection of wines for anyone who is a local or visitor

My favorites the balsamic Negroni and il Lombardo. For the espresso martini lover, these guys make the best one in town“

“Loved the food and cocktail menu. You can tell that the establishment knows their food, wine, etc and it comes off in the drinks and food!“

“Musette is an ideal spot that effortlessly shifts from day to night. During the day, it’s a warm and inviting coffee shop that’s perfect for getting work done. Come evening, it becomes a stylish wine bar with an unbeatable atmosphere. The wine flights are a highlight perfect for sampling a variety of wines. The staff are knowledgeable and always ready with excellent suggestions. Their pinchos, burrata, pastries, coffee and curated wine list never disappoint. Musette consistently hits the mark.“

“This wine bar is AWESOME! We had sooo much fun; Food was OUTSTANDING and of course the wine was great as well! Great VIBE... Definitely will be back ... ***** 5 Stars!“

“Wow! Had an outstanding night at the Roxy and I think it’s been my best bite in JC.

Service was incredible, friendly, and attentive. We did go at an off peak time, so we got extra special service. However, I think at any time the service would be top notch.

The cocktails were excellent. Extremely balanced, delicious and amazingly seasonal.

The food was soooo good. I had the short rib special and I highly recommend it while it’s available. Absolutely delicious and the best short rib dish I’ve had.

I can’t wait to return!“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“We shared a salad and each had an egg sandwich. What might be rudimentary in the hands of another chef was unusual and special. Each bite popped with flavor and happy surprise at the imaginative mix of ingredients. Definitively want to return.“

“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!“

“Super Cody atmosphere with great wine selection“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“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!“

“Wow. You guys… I’ve been going to the Sauced east village for a couple and tonight was my first night checking out their location on Bedford… let me just say, not only was the selection incredible, staff Mika, Isa and Rae went above and beyond to create a special night for me and my fiancée. Tasteful holiday decor, impeccable vibes, personal yet professional service — now that’s hospitality. I’ll be back this weekend!“

“This is hands-down my favorite wine bar in the city. The vibe is always spot-on and the staff is super friendly. I went for brunch this morning and it was the perfect start to the day. The wagyu sliders were juicy and flavorful, and the shakshuka had just the right kick. Everything hit the spot. Much more than your neighborhood wine bar!“

“We had an amazing time at this cozy wine bar! Perfect moody atmosphere for a date, and the staff made us feel completely at home. The food was on point, and the wine selection was just right. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a chill yet special evening!“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“Sexy upscale, yet relaxed wine bar with neighborhood-local clientele and prices. The bar is usually packed with couples out on a casual date night and small groups meeting for an after-work drink. They don't have a full kitchen, but their food menu would have you fooled. I'm partial to their flatbreads and charcuterie board. The staff is knowledgeable and warm, and are always willing to help you find a glass of wine that speaks to you. Really top-notch service. They have a habit of maintaining an excellent music playlist, and always making sure the vibe is *just right*.“
