The food and service were phenomenal! I enjoyed my meal from beginning to end not only because of the amazing staff & service provided but also the delicious food. A must when in Hell's Kitchen.
I can’t comment on the happy hour. But I can leave a comment on a Tuesday night at 10 pm. The owner and wait staff are exceptional. Service was great and the wine selection debatably better. The orange wine was great! Cheese board was also a nice compliment. If you want a taste of Europe, this is the spot!

Food was delicious and artistically presented. Meatballs delicious as were the anchovies appetizer. Panna cotta super delicious!!
Pete and his wife are amazing — so full of love and life! Fantastic wines and hands down the best rib steak I’ve ever had.

Had my 40th birthday dinner here. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed everything. Food was amazing and service was top notch. People are still telling me how much of a great dinner it was. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you to Peter & Staff.

We came here for the 4-6pm happy hour deals. There’s one selection for each type of wine, all of which were decent. The food was nothing memorable but not bad as bar snacks.
A Perfect Night at The Purple Tongue wine Bar-Restaurant
I had a fantastic experience at The Purple Tongue wine Bar! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with perfect lighting that set the mood just right — cozy, elegant, and great for conversation.
The meatballs were absolutely delicious — perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. They’re definitely a must-try!
Our server Lina was outstanding — incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. She had the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, which really made the evening special.
To top it off, Peter the manager/owner came by to check in and was equally kind and nice. It’s clear that the team here cares about creating a great experience for their guests.
I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

My first time dining here was a pleasant enough experience. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering. I give them exceptionally high rating for making us feel welcome and appreciated as guests. The food while serviceable, was not distinctive, and the portions were too small. If you're a person who enjoys wine, but does not consider yourself a master, I reccomend this restaurant. I will be returning.

Great food, excellent service, and chill & quiet atmosphere (we visited around 6:30pm on 7/18, which is a Friday evening). All the menu items that we ate were delicious. We sat the bar, and the bartender was extremely attentive & friendly. Also, a very cool giraffe themed interior. Highly recommended.

2nd time here. Awesome wine flight selection! Happy hour food can't be missed. Definitely will come back.
This cocktail tastes as if water has been added to it.
Dear the Purple Tongue Team,
On behalf of the OKTA NY Next Generation group, I want to sincerely thank you for helping us host a fantastic Connection Night on June 21st. The space, service, and thoughtful coordination all contributed to a truly memorable evening for our members and guests.
The wine selections were a hit—especially the reds from Bora’s portfolio—and the food was beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed. Your team’s attention to detail, from greeting our guests to circulating with drinks and bites throughout the night, made everything feel seamless and warm.
We’re grateful for your partnership and hospitality, and we hope to return for another gathering in the near future. Please extend our thanks to everyone who worked with us that evening.
