A great find in midtown. It feels like a modernized Irish dive bar. Great for all occasions.

Food was poor. We found a large piece of plastic in the shrimp. Stadium-food quality chicken and fries, short rib was over cooked.

Great food. Great drinks. Server was new and not good - but I am giving her some grace on the overall score.

I visited this spot hoping for a great burger and cocktail combo, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. I ordered the House Burger with cheese and a Chocolate Espresso Martini, while my friend got something like a "Sunday Meal."
The cocktail arrived first, and it tasted like canned coffee latte mixed with chocolate milk—not remotely what I expected. For the price, it was shocking. The burger was just as bad: a basic patty with a slice of cheese, and I even found two bone-like bits in the meat. When I complained, there was no apology or adjustment to the bill. My friend's dish was equally underwhelming—thin, overcooked meat that was tough to chew, despite asking for medium.
Spending $80 (before tip) for this experience was outrageous. Normally, I wouldn’t leave a review, but I hope this saves someone else from wasting their time and money. Never again!

Went in for a few drinks. Sat at the bar. The menu was via QR code which is not ideal, especially for the atmosphere they are providing. Had an espresso martini and a blackberry bramble- both of which were incredible and made quickly in front of us “putting on a show” type. Highly recommend.

Chosen as the place to spend midnight on New Year's Eve 2025, a really nice place (it was all decorated for Christmas). Very welcoming and attentive staff, super good cocktails!

This place has a really great bag. They have several appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, fish, and chips, and salmon. It is a fun atmosphere anytime, but especially on New Year’s Eve. Daron was incredible.

We were a group of 4 and visited Dawsons for dinner in December. The place had a very cozy vibe with cute holiday decorations. The staff was very welcoming. The flatbreads tasted very nice and the appetizers were great as well. Few of the signature cocktails are a must try. Overall we had a great dine in experience and would mostly visit again.

My wife and I had an early lunch before the Radio City show. We were originally seated downstairs in the back. After we requested a change we were seated upstairs. It is much nicer upstairs. The service and food were good. The place was nicely decorated for Christmas. A fine place to eat if you are in the area.
Abbiamo scelto questo locale per aspettare la mezzanotte, fortunatamente la vicinanza con Time Square non ci ha dato problemi con gli spostamenti. Locale davvero molto carino e accogliente, tutto addobbato per Natale. Personale gentile, ottimi cocktail!

We made reservations over a month ago/we were not just a random walk in. All of our meals came out and my son’s meal never came. I asked the waitress and she said they had messed it up and were remaking it. After about 15 minutes, his meal came out, but the salmon was raw in the middle. She said they would comp the salmon/remake it. By this point, the rest of us were finished with our meal. He still didn’t have a meal. She said it was on its way out and asked if she could get him something in the meantime. He said no problem, maybe some Brussel sprouts while he waited. We waited. Nothing came out. Eventually my husband hunted the manager down and he stopped by our table. He just said they were 13 tickets in. And said he’d take something off of our bill. Finally the Brussels came, and we inquired on the salmon. The manager said he thought my son had ordered the Brussels in place of the salmon. Overall, he never got the salmon. We were there for over the double the time we should have been. We were supposed to go see the Christmas tree after, and he was still hungry, so we had to hunt another restaurant down and go do it all over. Luckily, we found The Independent, and they saved the day. Unfortunately at that point, my kids were not in the mood for the Christmas tree. Very disappointing in the way the manager handled the entire situation.

I went to the restaurant the next day of Christmas with my family before going to a show: the environment was excellent, and the service was great!

This is an old school bar atmosphere. Food was under seasoned and pretty bland. Service was ok, seemed like they were under staffed. Would recommend finding another restaurant
