Staff was very attentive and helpful, food service was also very fast. The quality and taste of food was excellent and the brunch drinks were great too.

So good, yum... known sushi bar was a delight and our server was a joy - nice shirts! Maybe copyright infringement.

My favorite place on the UWS -- a great dirty Martini, followed by oysters on the half-shell, a "slice of ice" and black beans. A wonderful night -- could barely notice the Canadian Wild Fire smoke.

I had such a wonderful experience thanks to our amazing server, Betsy! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Betsy was so accommodating with our requests and made the whole dining experience feel effortless and enjoyable. It's rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about the customer experience, and she absolutely nailed it. Thank you, Betsy, for your kindness and exceptional service — you truly made our day!

We ordered a delicious salad and fries. The food was great. The restaurant was uncomfortable with sagging or broken upholstered booth and noisy. We moved to the outer area and that was better. A bit more comfortable and we could hear each other. Too uncomfortable overall. A shame because the food was good.

Great Father's Day brunch with the family. Good food, accommodating staff, pleasant menu. Will happily return.

Thank you for allowing for a relaxed dinnertime. The chicken dish was delicious. Our waitress was lovely and we enjoyed the happy hour! See you again soon.

We really enjoyed the food. Great Chinese spare rib appetizer and blue point oysters. Chicken pot pie was the real deal and wife's Nicisoise salad was just what she wanted. Cone of fries came soggy and not hot but was replaced upon request without a hassle. Pretty loud both indoors and out. I would definitely return all things considered.

Nice neighborhood place. A good place to sit outside watch the whirl of Amsterdam Avenue and enjoy some good food and a glass of wine.

Can't say enough good things about Hi-Life! The food, service, and value is all incredible. The best kind of neighborhood place!
We had a great time as usual! Unfortunately, it was our last time for a while as our season singing is over and we will not be in this neighborhood until the fall. Perhaps will trek up one day to reconvene during the summertime!

The food was excellent. Our server was very nice but didn't listen well, so some time was added to different orders. The music was from the 1980's which was good for me but my 83 year old mother would have made a different choice.

It's a great neighborhood spot, especially on Friday. Great mix of regulars and others, and all those present are just unwinding and enjoying the scene. One of my faves!
Tommy
Good food (it's not haute cuisine but it's fresh and tasty). Nice, attentive service. Good bar. Fair prices. All in all a great pub experience.
