I went here with a couple of friends as one of them had seen that they offer an "adult happy meal" (burger, fries, drink). The burger was actually pretty good! And the "speakeasy" feel to it wasn't too hipsterish or annoying. Staff was very attentive as well. However, the dessert was truly awful. I would go here again, but I would definitely skip dessert.

The best place i’ve been to yet, the price for what we got was amazing and the food was insane. Our waiter was super nice, and the whole vibe is super cool. Definitely coming back!!

The instagram images were captivating but when we arrived for our reservation i felt catfished and overdressed
The dive bar front location had a host that greeted us and said someone would come out to get us and bring us back
We sat waiting for 15 minutes at the bar with not much info on what the hold up was
Then a guy with a gold chain came over and mumbled something incoherent and said to follow him ( not in a cool secret society kind of way but in an annoyed scruffy way)
We get to cheesy hidden wall door that opened up to a small room that was fairly empty. The themed decor was nice but not at all like the images (that seem to be for the other location) But we were game and sat down to find out what all the hubbub was about
The prices were extremely reasonable which restored our interest but sadly the food was mediocre and the quality of the steak was not good at all. It said prime but if you eat steak and know the difference you will be disappointed. I barely touched mine . It looked amazing but the texture and flavor did not deliver The fries were decent, the Cesar salad was creamy with undetectable anchovy with soggy parmesan crisps ( but looked appetizing) The creamed spinach was some cheesy flavorless dish with barely any spinach, The burger was a C+ , the wedge salad was clunky, and the dirty martini was pedestrian
The atmosphere was weird, only one waiter who was also bartender. He was good but i didnt feel like this was a customer service forward spot.
One woman dining was joined by one of the bussers we passed on the way back in the dive bar who sat at her table and stared to eat steak she had …It was weird. A woman at the table next to us was holding her fork and knife like a cavewoman.
This place is great for a young person out on their first date at their first restaurant LOOKS impressive and cool in photos , but the quality and service is budget

Burger was great, but the steak was awful. Might be the worst steak I’ve ever had. My partner and I got the happy meal special and martini dinner. The sever was really nice, but she was the only one working so service was slow. Wouldn’t come again.

This was an odd meal as the private room and service were really great. The food was disappointing. We had the NY steak which was well prepared but cold. How can you serve a $69 room temperature steak! We sent it back as the waiter was very courteous. The second steak was warm but not hot. The Mac and cheese was ok but not amazing. The spinach and fries were very good. I come away questioning google reviews and instagram hype. Great service but a one and done.

A gristly sous vide steak that’s over seasoned with herbs and over cooked. Way too expensive for a very poorly executed steak. Creamed spinach and mashed potatoes were ok. Would not return and do not recommend.

Our dinner was a total of 40 minutes. We felt rushed and our dinner came out less than 10 minutes after ordering. The food was okay. The steak was lukewarm and felt as if it was heated up in a microwave. The place was pretty but ambiance can only do so much.

It’s super cute and the food was really awesome. Plus their brunch is a great deal if you do any of the steak options. It’s not really a speakeasy and is just a back room. So delicious though definitely recommend!
Went in with my dad and sister into the backroom, had one of the best burgers in Manhattan (looking at you, Minetta Tavern). Phenomenal service and truly delicious sides.

I got the Burger and it came with a "yolk jam" that was easily the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. The burger tasted like it was a salt patty. Our waitress knew nothing about the drinks menu. The service was unbearably slow. The jazz music was like three people playing different songs in rehearsal while wearing pajamas. For the price of food, this place was a literal scam. We literally forced our way through it with a smile because us friends hadn't seen each other in so long but it was, without a shadow of doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I'd had in a long time.

One of the worst steaks I’ve ever tasted in myLife. The burgers were as average as average can be. Do yourself a favor and just eat at Mel’s which is the burger joint this place is in. Save yourself.

Been here a few times and unlikely to return. Food is okay for the price. What's not okay is leaving us waiting over 15 minutes to be brought in, and the host not acknowledging us once as they escort people who showed up after us to their table before us. The service on the inside isn't much better. Bunch of amateurs.
