One of my favorite cocktail bars in NY. Top hospitality from all the team. I got a seat at the bar and there's also a lounge upstairs. Cocktails are delicious, with high quality ingredients and perfect execution. My favorite was the Tea Ceremony from their signature drinks. I also had some food and it was really good. Highly recommended if you are into bars and fine drinking.

Very uncomfortable experience — we were seated and told we had one hour and forty five minutes at our table. After 45 minutes, the waitress started hovering and offering the check. After 1 hour and 10 minutes, she actively walked over and asked us to leave because she needed to seat the next guests. She was very rude, and there were 6 open chairs around us. Upon leaving, my friend and I noticed there was not a single person waiting for a table.Also, the bartender gave me the wrong drink and when I corrected him there was no acknowledgement of the mistake. He took the drink away and replaced it without saying a single word. (For context: these drinks are about $30)This is sad to me because this used to be one of my favorite bars in the city. I will not be coming back, and will stop recommending it to others.

SKIP. There’re 100000 bars in the city you don’t want to waste your dollars or your emotional damage here.1, walk-in allowed and table service allowed BUT when we complained the next table was TOO LOUD (10 people made hell of a noise like a rugby team just won the Super Bowl). At the end the manager said it’s the owner’s table and there’s nothing they can do about it. (Prioritize the owners over other customers. we 4 people personally had to go outside to take several breaks from the noise and emotional drama from the next table and the employers ignored our complaints and gave us a dirty look.) We DO NOT want to intrude any private event on your side but once you seated us, a satisfactory service should be provided legally from your end, especially when you automatically charged us 20% service fee for just 4 people.2, guys make sure you look at ur receipt before paying, they messed up the orders and charged randomly without any format of an apology.3, put our vapes with our phones on the table but 3 different waitresses came and warned us about non-vaping policy. Respectfully enough every time we replied politely that we DID NOT VAPE. But one of them accused us vaping when there was very clear no vaping / no smoke on the sight.4, after giving our honest but polite feedback we left, the manager followed us outside of the bar and threw an attitude at us and left when we were still in the middle of a sentence.Living in the city is hard enough for most of us, we definitely DO NOT NEED THIS at a bar when all we want is a chill night with friends, especially when one of your dearest friends is leaving New York the very next day.30 dollars per drink for what?

One of my fav bars in the city.We finally, I got a reservation for a party of 3.Tried multiple martinis and different cocktails.loved each of them (matcha one was a star).They have a small space but very well accommodated people.Altho one remark I felt, one of the server kept pushing us to order drinks while I was going through the menu, which I felt was little pushy of him.

Truly exceptional cocktail bar experience. I had heard good things about this place, but did not expect the level of craft, refinement, and care that we received in each drink. I was accompanied by two friends and each of us tried a different drink from their core menu. All of them were outstanding in their own right. We tried the Black Garlic Gibson, the Brown Butter Old Fashioned, and the Caprese. I would highly recommend any of them, but especially the old fashioned. Put this on your priority list if you are a cocktail enthusiast.

Been here 1 time before and good experience. This time they told us 1 hour and 15 minute wait. It’s been over 3 hours and no update. Disappointing for a place that has good drinks but not remarkable. You can get the same quality at cafe salmagundi around the corner. Better service and far more welcoming compared to Martinys

Found my favorite cocktail bar in NYC! We got reservations in the upstairs lounge which was cozy yet spacious. It was bright enough to see the people you are with and quiet enough to hear them! The drinks were sooooo good! Started off with the Caprese and moved onto other such as the Tea Ceremony and the Tiramsu. Their version of the mule was delightful. The highlight was the blue cheese sake martini - I could drink these all night!!!

What a phenomenal experience. No wonder it’s one of the top bars and has made it on lists. It’ll continue to climb I’m sure. Recommend making reservations as walking in is hard and space is not too big inside. The drinks are amazing, complex and just so delicious. You can’t really go wrong. I tried the orangiette and the maia. Some of the best drinks in the city and seeing as the owners from Angels share, it makes sense bc I miss that bar so much. The food is also what got me too. I already had dinner but I regret eating dinner bc I should’ve just waited and ate here instead. The uni, tartare are absolutely to die for. It’s set a new standard for me and I’m honestly spoiled by the experience. Definitely coming back.

I've been to a lot of top rated bars. This really did something different. From the food to the drinks to the service. I loved every second. Also every cocktail I ordered had a multi step process to enjoying it which kept it creative but also altered the beverage you were consuming. Incredible 10/10.
Unique cocktail options, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed the Caprese cocktail. We sat at the bar, which turned out to be the best seats in the house. It was an awe-striking experience getting to watch Ethan and the other mixologists create these masterpieces behind the counter. This is truly the best cocktail bar in the country!

Amazing spot, extremely attentive service, complex cocktails, cozy and refined atmosphere, tasty bites (particularly the sweet corn tempura, karage and burrata). Also a great spot if you’re doing dry January as they have a number of great non alcoholic options as well as a delicious non alcoholic champagne.
Obnoxious, terrible service overall, especially from front desk hostess Ryoko Zukeran.

I found the staff especially the server named Rio to be quite rude. When he came to take our order, my friend was ready to order but I wasn’t quite ready yet. When I asked him what he recommended he seemed extremely irritated by this question. He said something along the lines of I should just order the same thing as my friend if I dont know what I should get. Kept making a fuss about how I wasnt ready to order every time he stopped by the table to check on us. In hindsight I feel that he may have been trying to playingly tease about it but it created a very awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere for my friend and I. When the food finally arrived after almost 45 minutes of waiting, it was not at all appetizing. I would describe their menu to be rather strange if I’m honest. The drinks were decent but extremely overpriced. Rio’s puzzling attitude coupled with the long wait and lackluster food, I would not recommend Martiny’s.

Dim lights, Japanese Kimura crystal and absolute attention to the perfection of a cocktail. Chef Wayne Cheng, a veteran of Masa and Eleven Madison Park, runs the show. Takuma Watanabe from Angel's Envy crafts the incredibly complex cocktails. Perhaps more importantly than the food and the cocktails is how Martiny's makes you feel: it is reminiscent of wandering into an exclusive cocktail club in Tokyo, one where few tourists would ever dream about stepping into.Thus, with the powerful setup of Martiny's, despite how new it is to one of the most selective cocktail scenes in the world, it has managed to score top ranks on a number of publications of World's Best Bars. Those accolades are well deserved as Martiny's manages to be unique on an island that houses some of the most unique places in the world.
