We had a fantastic meal, Don Ameche steak and the steakhouse salad. The crab and avocado salad was delicious. Thanks to Kelmi for his outstanding service.

Manny's breakfast sandwiches are the best. This is my new regular breakfast spot. Try his chipotle sauce on a bacon, egg, and cheese. It's awesome.

Brunch for 5. Everything was great... strawberry danish, chicken & waffles, desserts. Ask for Manny.

The Porterhouse for two was amazing! The service (thank you, Manny!) was superb, so overall a great evening.

Casual but efficient and friendly service at this vibrant American bistro. Not a big menu but good choices to appeal to different tastes. The octopus salad was delicious and the fried chicken true to a Korean recipe and generously proportioned. The desserts all looked too good and decadent to choose. The chocolate tart was more modest in decadence and very tasty. Reasonable prices.

The meal was excellent. The filet had a great crust and was cooked to perfection and the accompanying salad was tasty and not overly dressed. The carrots side dish was very tasty with some spice in the accompanying sauce. All in, a better value and a better meal than recent dinners at Morton's.

Disappointing. The food quality was good not Great The Hanger Steak was just good. Salmon was cold. Water - Bread and drinks service was poor and the place was quiet!! Their are better Options out there - The village one is way better!

Overdue review. Honestly speaking this restaurant gets my vote when it comes to the food quality and tastiness. I was amazed by their filet mignon. My friends and I decided to eat here and left Ace Hotel's lobby and restaurant nearby. The three of us started to order the kale chicken salad and Crab & Avocado roll to share. The salad was huge; it made more sense to share. We also shared the crab and avocado. After all that we decided to share a filet mignon. This one was stunning in looks and taste. We couldn't believe how good it was. Filet mignon rock! It's actually better than filet mignon from some other steakhouses. I started planning on coming here with Hubby for his birthday celebration because he's the meat eater. I truly believe the name of the restaurant fits well with their food style. The quality didn't just come in the food section, but the service too. I was intrigued by it.

So I've been to Quality Eats and Quality Italian for button up lunch's and dinner's this time was to lunch before a holiday so more casual. Quality Eats Nomad seemed a good option and it did not disappoint. The drinks were spot on (Key Money and Hemingway Spritz) and the food was on point. I had salad and fish all week so I could cheat with the burger, well worth it. Apparently the burger meat is from Nebraska and the Cheese from Wisconsin. Quality cuts, presentation and taste. My guests had the Octopus and Sirloin Strip .. nothing but ahhh's. The service was also on point... ! They have a menu item called Three Martini Lunch with a steak sandwich on the side ... I may have to go back and try it.

I was really excited to try this restaurant. The food was fine but I was expecting to be delighted so ultimately left disappointed. The steak in the salad was tough and the bacon in the appie was fatty. The menu sounded great but was unable to live up to expectations. Having said that we had a nice evening overall but there are better choices when visiting NYC.

So my Wife and I had just left Todd Snyders on Friday July 19 both feeling a bit peckish. We made are way 2 blocks north to Quality Eats (NoMad location). We didn’t have a reservation and they are recommended. We couldn’t sit down in the dining area but the bar area had some fun high tops, so we chose to stay, imbibe and indulge. The table between us was very narrow and made the setting seem more intimate - what a good way to kick off our weekend. Not having been there, nor feeling ready for a proper feast we decided to grab a cocktail and order some snacks. We ordered the Monkey Bread, Crab & Avocado, Carrots, Greens and Cacio e Pepe. Everything was great ?. The carrots had been roasted down to a desirable tenderness and set on a bed of chili paste that was firey. The greens were very savory yet they lacked meat, which I was happy about. The monkey bread was soft and pillowy, easily pulled apart like parker house rolls. Citrus accompanied the Crab & Avocado dish and I nearly confused it for poke - the lightest dish we had. The Cacio e Pepe Orzo was elegantly described by our all-star server, Colin, as adult mac-n-cheez. About Colin: efficient, caring and friendly. Upon return, we will specifically ask for him. Colin you rock! This spot is in a cool part of town, not big, not touristy and is connected to well reputed larger establishments. I would say dress is like... smart casual - depends on what that means to you. We spent about $80something. Cheers!

Nice resturant, very busy. Decent selection of cuts and all explained by waitress. Everything presented nicely and received as ordered in good timing. A bit on the pricy side, but didnt grudge it.

Good place for bunch. The Strawberry pistachio morning bun is absolutely delicious and great to share before your main plate. I wish they had more vegetarian options for brunch, would give me an excuse to go more often. @traveleen_gurl

Food was excellent. Crab and avocado to start, which really made the tastebuds dance. Delicious, sweet chunks of white crab meat, little segments of citrus fruit and the creamy avocado sauce. Mains were filet mignon and roast chicken. Both very tasty and filet cooked a perfect medium with charred outside. The dessert looked appealing, however, decided to go with espresso martinis. This is after a bottle of Californian pinot noir. Service was excellent. The server was polite, friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was great. Admittedly, an early dinner was booked, so the place was empty. It did pick up with families and couples later, so very pleasant.

Perfect location for families of all ages. Our ages ranged from 10 years to 63 years. We easily found menu selections for everyone. Love the variety. Tried lots of appetizers. Shared a bone-in ribeye for the table, and our granddaughter loved the Birthday Cake Sundae. Fun atmosphere, attentive staff, and management checked on us regularly
