This was a very clean place nestled in a good area of the city, the price is a tad high, but you get what you pay for. The food has PUNCH. The steak was flavorful. The focaccia bread was crusty and buttery. They use high-quality olive oil and the mac & cheese was made of some of the sharpest cheese I’ve had. If you’re looking for a mild average, cheap run-of-the-mill dinner, this is not the place, but if you’re hungry, and have been walking around the city all day and are in the mood for something filling 10/10

I enjoyed TBar, all of the food was delicious, although the Risotto was oily. The only reason they are getting 4 stars is because they don’t have the YES network, was sad to see the bartender search & ultimately settle on SNY

Words can’t explain how disappointed I am in this establishment.
My family and I come here often: whenever we don’t want to venture out into the city, after shopping in Manhasset, or if we need somewhere more quiet to host groups of friends. The food isn’t spectacular (it has a few highlights like the squid ink linguine though some dishes like the porterhouse needs work). But it still has a decent ambiance to bring guests to, especially when you’re tired of T-bar and the other options nearby.
We came here on Mother’s Day weekend (May 10th) for dinner straight from home and left our car in valet. Usually we self-park when possible but it was too packed to do so. We left late at night after dinner going straight home, and the next day (Sunday) we saw that the back right wheel of our car was scratched by something green. I immediately called T-bar that night and they told me to call the valet service, who very unprofessionally blew up at me on the phone.
Naturally, the valet service then informed me a week later that no one knows anything and hasn’t provided me any details of where our Porsche was parked or camera coverage. I literally have a time stamped snap of me unloading presents from the car right before we left for dinner that shows the vehicle was unscratched, and yet NO one has taken any responsibility or has had the decency to follow up.
We immediately went back to talk to the manager who assured us he’d speak with the owner and give us a resolution. But it has now passed FATHERS DAY and all that has happened is them passing the ball to each other and telling us there’ll be an update next week. There’s still been no resolution OVER A MONTH — absolutely zero regard for their customers that come here regularly.
They've completely failed to take responsibility when something went wrong under their watch. Until this is properly resolved, we won't be returning, and I'd strongly advise others to avoid or risk having your own vehicle damaged with no accountability.

This was overall a pleasant spot for a quiet Sunday brunch. Pleasant decor and a menu of elevate brunch plates. I went with the burger and it was a winner - the quality of the beef was top notch and it was perfectly cooked. My partner’s avocado toasted with poached eggs was also quite nice. Service was a bit lackluster and there were a couple of times it was hard to get the attention of our waiter. On the strength of the food though, I’d give this place another try.

Hi enjoyed the atmosphere, the food was excellent and the service was supreme. However, I might go there once or twice a year. Basically, the prices were too high. The drink prices were overly expensive. You can get away with this in Manhattan and East Hampton, but not in the area consumers eat out at the same restaurants. An upscale happy hour with quality liquor and bar bites would be a good idea. A busy bar is a busy restaurant and have some lower price dishes on the menu. I wouldn't write this review if I didn't love the restaurant. Keep it up. Just make some small changes.

Second time dining here and it was just as amazing as the first! The food is exceptional, with both the steak and fish dishes being standout choices. While it can get a bit loud at times, the overall experience is fantastic. The staff is great, providing excellent service and ensuring a pleasant visit.

Truly lousy food - at high prices - tasteless Caesar salad ($22), over-salted strip steak ($78) to the point of inedible, bland chicken milanese, sushi, and apple crisp - nothing-to-write-home-about atmoshphere - there is no reason to eat at this restaurant when there are thousands of better ones in NYC.

We had the absolute BEST bartender yesterday! We were in celebrating my nieces 21st birthday and Dan helped make it so special. He talked with us and told us other great places to try while we were in NY. The vibe of this place is beautiful! So modern and clean. Would love to come back for dinner one night. Big thank you to Dan for making the day special!!!

This restaurant positively changed my perspective on New York City. George helped us out tonight, and he catered to our curiosities and interests. The meats were delightful. Dereck has an impeccable vision!
