Reviews
Went on a non busy afternoon and was very pleased with the restaurant as a whole. My server was kind and the food came out warm and very fast. Loved the old New York vibes. Go here!
Show was really good. I love Blix and Patch. Vodka soda was $15 tho…. this isn’t the River
It started off well with our waiter, however when they asked whether we wanted bottled water or tap. We chose tap and their attitude changed for the worst. Our waiter was extremely rude and condescending. Apparently this restaurant cannot split checks, they are unable to put an alcoholic beverage in a taller glass.
It's also impossible for them to take strawberries off of the cheesecake.
The waitress snatched our appetizer plates from our table since we didn't order any.
I had the hamburger ($28) and they couldn't even cook it correctly, ordered it medium and was rare. Food was flavorless. Had a lil squirt of sauce and day old ketchup.
Do not go to this restaurant unless you have money to waste and prefer rude service.

Beautiful and iconic place in NYC. Cocktails are tasty. Food is definitely delicious with the alcohol you ordered.
With food and ur empty stomach, I would say $60_100 person. If you got food before getting here, probably below or around $50 for each.
Reservations will be preferred, but they allow walkin for the bar and the seats are comfortable.

Visiting New York for the first time. So many places to see and eat, The Dead Rabbit is definitely worth the 2-wk reservation waiting time. The bar is full of life and fun and amazing food. You have to try it!
The bouncer physically assaulted my friends boyfriend to the point that he has bruises so do with that information what you will. My friend in the band that played recently was told they were allowed to exit through a staff exit, upon leaving the bouncer psychically put his hands on my friend, and when her boyfriend approached him, he held him against a wall choking him. Id prefer not to get assaulted by a bouncer but a
Go here with caution

I would definitely not come back here. The food was bad. The Caesar salad didn't have any dressing on it and then when we mentioned it the waiter commented how they can give us MORE sauce. Excuse me there was no sauce on it, own up to your mistake. The $27 carbonara is a scam, 4 small chunks of meat and not a good egg/cheese/pasta water ratio. I asked the waiter again for some red pepper flakes and they never brought them. The mozzarella stick was okay but again way overpriced for what it was.
Great vibe, amazing talent, would definitely return 👍🏾
Stopped for cocktails only and oh boy not disappointed. Fantastic atmosphere for the holidays. Our drink professional Sean could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Every one loved their drinks. The Irish coffee was just great.
Come for the Sunday Roast, stay for the atmosphere! We've been here a few times now for the Sunday Roast, but there are plenty of other items on the menu. The wine selection is great, though you'll be wanting to try a few of the cocktails or the Irish Coffee too. The servers are always very friendly and helpful. You'll love the building itself, and the decor around the Holidays makes the place feel much more homely. Don't hesitate to drop by even without a reservation, there's seating at the bars and counters too.
I've been here before during the nighttime to grab a drink, but I was able to finally come back with a friend to try their brunch!
I'll be honest, I've never had an irish coffee, but as a coffee lover this hit the spot. My friend ordered a regular Irish coffee which was nice and balanced, and warmed you up on the inside. I tried the Alexander Irish coffee, which was sweeter and chilled, and enjoyed it as well! They have a selection of Irish coffees, so definitely try it out if you come by.
I also got the chicken pot pie which had the flakiest crust! It was a solid entree, with a good amount of filling and a good gravy. The mashed potatoes were also nice and buttery. I couldn't finish it sadly, the whole thing was huge honestly.
I'm definitely planning to come back during the holidays and try out their drink menu! The ambiance was so cute and cozy, and it sounds like there's more to forward to!

Came in on a Friday to celebrate a belated birthday. There was plenty of street parking in the evening, my table was readily available and the hostesses was warm & friendly. I ordered a beet salad and scallop entree with a glass of rose. For dessert I had the Flat Iron Room Sphere which was amazing and delicious. Dessert was my favorite along with live music. . Highly recommend coming here for a date or night out.
The Flatiron Room is hands down 5 Stars across the board. The vibe is jazzy NYC cabaret, with decor and attention to detail to match. This was my second time and it did not disappoint. For a special evening out with family & friends, first date, date night or special occasion…THIS is the spot. The service is spot on, warm hospitality from the host team and servers that will not steer you wrong. Food was absolutely delicious and the craft cocktails……let’s just say I wish I could’ve tried them all. If you like whiskey, you will not find such an extensive, in depth array and vast selection. Check out the headliner entertainment when you go. And if you want outdoor seating, the private rooms are finely appointed. A star in Murray Hill!
Loved this place. Went in for lunch on a weekday so it wasn't overly crowded.
Peter took good care of me.
I had the short rib meatballs and the pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Both were delicious; the pizza was special!

This is a great place to come to when doing a play and/or if you want decent Italian food with no surprises, that will hit the spot. Bond 45 is located in the Edison hotel, very close to Times Square.
For drinks, had the Bond Spritz and the Bond Cup (?). Forgot name of the second drink. Both drinks were on the sweet side. Our waiter was attentive, and quick without being annoying.
For food we had the lasagna, two meatballs and a mozzarella stick. All meals were good and yummy. Only thing I found odd was that we weren't served bread prior to our meals. Other than that, meals and service were great. Seems like they always take in walk-in customers, as it's a pretty large place

This spot is incredibly popular (and world renowned) I had friends from overseas recommend I visit when I was in NYC.
First I notice it's VERY BUSY.
But the staff handle the crowds well, our food and drinks came out in a timely fashion and everything we had was delicious. A few small hiccups such as not receiving a spoon before stew came out. But nothing life shattering. And our server was overall very good at his job.

Fantastic atmosphere in this restaurant! They have a huge array of drinks available if you just want a drink, or a fabulous, small menu (fresh food) to choose from. The staff are wonderful and very attentive! There were a few jazz artists playing which gave the place a great ambience when we were there. The saxophonist also played Happy Birthday to me, how wonderful is that! I hope the pictures speak for themselves but the food was delicious as well! Highly recommended!
Was able to make a reservation a few days prior for a weekend date night. They had live music playing early. The sevice was fantastic. I really enjoyed our waitress. The band was lively and really set the mood. The good was fantastic and the drinks were even better. Everything was smooth and lovely. The host was charming and friendly. Service was prompt. Would absolutely come back. And absolutely recommend. Made this a stand out night.
Old time Irish pub in a building built in 1828, and you feel the history. Short walk from another legendary area, Stone Street. Cocktails were stiff just as you’d expect, and delicious. Also, the popcorn was better than any movie theater’s that I’ve had in recent memory and the Potato Leek Soup was fantastic!
Delicious food and prompt service even for large parties. The burrata salad was scrumptious. The dessert cake slices were generous too, unfortunately taste was too sweet and I was too full by dessert to really finish! Good impressions overall.
I think about this pub on a frequent basis. The atmosphere, service and drinks are pristine. Irish coffee is wild, also tried the Flying Boat AKA the best cocktail I've ever had in my entire life. Every city needs a carbon copy of this place.
Highly recommend paying cash here. The server doubled the amount of tip after we left. We checked 20% for tip(already high because this includes the $80 of jazz ticket price for two), but seems she charged 40%.
Had a wonderful time grabbing dinner here before seeing New York New York on broadway. The food was awesome, and the desserts were amazing! The NY cheesecake is so big, yet so so delicious. The cannolis were great!
Edit: our server was wonderful as well! Such a nice gentleman.

Great little spot with a MASSIVE collection of whiskey. My bartender was amazing, informative and patient. She recommended a few things that I was quite interested in, Especially when they didn’t have my first choice. Also, she was an awesome conversationalist!
Came with my girlfriend and her parents whilst on a holiday from England. Food was amazing as was the service downstairs. Best Guinness I've had in NY for sure.
The highlight however came from the upstairs bar. The cocktails were incredible, some of the best I've ever had. I've been a bartender for nearly 10 years so this place has been on my list for a while. Talked shop with the bartender Shane for a little while and then him and the other bartender (I am so terribly sorry if you're reading thus but I cannot remember your name! Your tattoos were amazing though) asked if I wanted to come up and make a daiquiri. Being able to say to all my hospitality friends back home that I made a drink at The Dead Rabbit will be a highlight for the rest of my life. They were easily two of the best people I've met in my short time in NY. I've done a fair few of the touristy things to do around here and that absolutely made my week. This place deserves every award its received and more!
If the two bartenders ever find themselves in Manchester they'll always have a seat at my bar.

Bravo! This place is a gem. It makes for a very classy date night. We will definitely be returning when back in town. It’s beautiful. Amazing food and drinks. The live music was very classy.
Our experience there was wonderful. The band was everything we could have hoped for in a 16 piece big band. The guest singer was awesome as well. We were there for the early seating last Friday, Sept. 8 and the band performing was the "Birdland Big Band." Our food was also very good. Had the Penne, Risotto with some added Shrimp and drinks. Staff was very attentive. One problem we did have was taken care after a few phone calls and couple of days. Our orders and credit cards were switched with another patron's. Very dark in there and we were being hurried to pay because staff was getting ready for the next show. It all got resolved in the end.
Great performance of The Hot Sardines with Elizabeth Bougerol at Birdland. Mostly 1920's jazz songs that sounded new again, some original songs, great tap dancer. We truly enjoyed it.
Food and drinks -fried calamari were tasty. I personally did not like their Mojitos, too much lime, and too little rum 😆. Better off with the wine or beer. However we came for the music and we left very happy!

Last night, the bouncer at the door scammed me and my two friends. The bouncer asked for $50 for all three of us— much higher than normal, but fine, it was late and crowded so I shelled out $50 cash to the bouncer. Immediately after he pocketed the cash he looked up at me and said, “you only gave me $10. I need $30 more.” Of course shocked, I told him, “I just gave you $50 cash.” He argued with me and became very nasty, told me “you only gave me $10.” He would not let me in until I gave him $30 more in cash, so $80 cash cover total for 3 people. It’s a shame because I really used to love this place. Absolutely shocked and disgusted by this treatment. If the management is reading this, it feels pretty clear that the bouncers working on 9/16/23 were pocketing the extra cash. Be warned.
LOVED THE BAND ‘THE RADIO HOUR’ !!!! They were AMAZING, especially the girl playing the violin !
I came here with a group of friends this past weekend. I ordered a round of drinks and closed the tab. Just over $100 for 4 drinks because a mandatory 20% gratuity was included in the bill. Annoying, because I prefer to leave a cash tip, but whatever. Because of the mandatory 20% tip included and I paid with card, I did not leave an additional cash tip. The bartender then refused to give me a water because I “had not tipped him cash”. I told him that I had already paid a tip on the bill, and I was told that waters are not given to those that don’t tip. We left immediately, the place is not worth anyone’s time.
What a gem. The food was unexpectedly incredible. The oysters were so soft. Some of the best I’ve had. The Mac and cheese was also so good. Bone marrow has never really appealed to me until I ordered it from this place. The vibes were amazing. Great music, great energy. The red lighting adds to the scene and just feels boujieee! Will definitely return.
I had a wonderful experience here! Everything from the food to the cocktails was delightful. I strongly recommend trying to get a dinner reservation here. Our favourite options were the Elderflower Champagne and the Irish Coffee but you won't go wrong with anything on the menu
Great bar amazing whiskey selection. I should have sat at the bar I couldn't get a drink to save my life. Most likely not the servers fault it did get very busy very fast. I was also overwhelmed by the family of 5 sitting next to me with kids on backless stools who clearly have never sat still in their lives. The food was delicious so I'm sure it's better than I thought but not that day.and when I was leaving ya the bar was quiet and empty damnit lol.
Beautiful intimate small cool settling for a date night or a chill night with your girls. Not crowded, no one was being pushy. The hostess was really nice even though we were running late. The band that played sounded good. The music wasn’t too overpowering not to have a conversation.The drinks were amazing. A well balance of all flavors. The whiskey flights were really good also. Food was really good, everything tasted fresh small portions for what you get though. Menu items add up, you can easily spend $3-$400 here. My experience was worth all items ordered.
All employees are very friendly & all menu items are very tasty. If you’re in the area, definitely stop in & treat yourself to some fresh iced cold glasses of whatever beverage you desire, alcohol or not!!
Great place to enjoy entertainment we went on open mic night, which felt like more talking with artists advertising their relevant shows and upcoming appearances. But overall a lovely evening. My wife had a bottle of Prosecco $55 and I had bottle of Corona all night, my wife did order a warm goats cheese salad, that was very under par and certainly wasn’t worth $21
Great happy hour - thoroughly enjoyed the service. Went back for anniversary. Was perfection. Sammy was extremely attentive and engaging. Food was yummy and very reasonably priced for Manhattan steakhouse.
We had a fantastic time at this jazz club! The live music was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere was electric. The talented musicians created an unforgettable experience, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Whether you're a jazz enthusiast or just looking for a fun night out, this club is a must-visit.
We absolutely loved The Flatiron Room! We arrived very early for our reservation and they were so kind to let us in and have drinks at the bar. Since we were so early, they seated us inside by the stage. The atmosphere is lovely, nice ambiance, it's like stepping back in time, in the best way. Our food was SO delicious. I commented with each bite, so did my husband. We had the house ravioli and the beef Short Rib. Both were incredible. The drinks from the bar were well curated, and delightful.
Delicious food however the Chef has to pay more attention to meat temperature on French Onion Soup Burger. Nothing can beat this burger if it is cooked medium rare.
Great atmosphere and service. This place really takes you back in time. The cocktails were amazing. We really enjoyed the performance and every meal course.
The lava cake was also fresh and delicious!

Had done two very informative and fun virtual whiskey tastings with the owner Tommie during the pandemic. Finally got here in person. Beautiful room. Live music. Best Espresso Martini (with bourbon) ever. Food was excellent. Our server, Maria, was attentive, friendly and helpful. Will return!
Very good steak , especially the fillet mignon and the rib eye, the beef very tender and juicy, very recommended
The Dead Rabbit 🐇
Casual bar downstairs with lots of people and loud music in a small space.
Second floor is a speakeasy style quieter cocktail bar called the Parlor. Delicious drinks for around 20 to 30 dollars. Server was very friendly and attentive. Looked like a popular date spot.
Nice atmosphere and service in both bars.
Lots of drink options. Not wheelchair accessible.
Didn't see any rabbits but lots of rats outside by the entrance.

This has been one of my go-to bars for years now. Reliable, great bartenders, amazing music (especially Fridays) and overall fun vibes.
This place has been a haunt of ours for a while. We tend to like the weekend as it’s busy in the right way. The performers here have a long history of making it on DR and tend to bring entertainment.
One of the best drag bars in NYC! As both an event planner and patron on many of these establishments, I find Hardware to be the most friendly bartenders and servers.
Drag shows every night, but my personal favorites are Broadway Mondays and Thursday KnockOut.

I love this bar! The staff is warm, welcoming and oh-so-very handsome, and the vibe of the space is always great. It's a Hell's Kitchen staple, and consistently my go-to for a night out, with great drag shows and DJ's to boot. Highly recommended!
This required eatery in the restored Edison Hotel is a Broadway staple and landmark. The Fireman Hospitality Group has some of the best eateries in Midtown, and Shelly has exquisite tastes. Or is it his wife? Don't know. Regardless, you will not leave disappointed. The staff are the best in midtown. This is an ideal place for theatre dining.
Delicious escargots and I keep wanting to go back to that onion soup burger! Those fries and ketchup were very good too. Service is great and so is the food. This restaurant has been there for ages, which explains why the place seems a little old. It still serves yummy food and I recommend it. They have executive pre-fixed menus.
The mushroom gnocchi was excellent but the steak was salty and chewy. I would say it is a great place for appetizers. They didn’t ask how we want the steak first. size of dessert were like gigantic. 5+ people shareable with 1 dessert! The live music was playing when we went to the place. It was ok. Atmosphere was chill.
Nice venue went to see a friend perform.
Cozy and intimate restaurant serving fresh and flavorful Italian food. One star off because I did not like that my sangria had no fresh fruits.
Upscale restaurant with a great live stage in the middle for jazz performers. This place is one you’ll remember by the professional yet comfortable atmosphere.
Went here during the 2023 NYC restaurant week and did their select 3 courses and drink pairing. Overall was a great experience and would suggest this as a good place for celebrating something fancy.
The food was unique, nothing earth shattering delicious but consistent and good. The drinks definitely come with presentation and are quite delicious as well.
They offer a massive amount of liquors, mainly whiskey, but a lot of unique items you may have difficulty finding other places or even by yourself.
Come here for an experience and enjoy the live music. Keep an eye on how much you order though as the prices do get pretty heavy.

This is my absolute favorite restaurant. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Our waiter was awesome, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. Servers were also great and always efficient, happy and polite.Then we also had dessert and that was really good as well.Everything about this restaurant was great. The place was clean and smelled good. The staff and greeter was very nice. Great atmosphere with really nice people. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone!!!!
We walked into what appears to be a nice restaurant and experienced a foul smell that existed until we got to our table, where I noticed plug-in deodorizers. We asked for tequila - it’s our go-to; they have two lesser quality choices. We ordered two filet mignon - theoretically tender and sometimes melt in your mouth - and received two pieces of meat as chewy and tough as top round steak. I suppose the good news was they were cooked as requested. The creamed spinach had the flavor and consistency of something mass-produced, canned or frozen, and tasted like what would be served at Outback. The reason for two stars instead of zero is the wait staff was attentive and the mousse cake was delicious. Spend your $200+ elsewhere.
Sad to come back after all these years $10 pints for a so so selection of beers, it was depressing to sit there and spend 60 bucks to drink in that environment, it single handedly put me off going for a pint
The food is outstanding. I had a Duck special, I can’t remember the exact name but it was amazing. It takes a lot to catch me off guard, but this food made me feel like I was back in Italy. The service was great, the waitresses were very attentive. A table nearby spilled their wine, the staff quickly changed out the table cloth & gave them another glass of wine. Pricing was decent for the amount of food you get. 10/10 recommend, would definitely come back here again!
Loved everything but the duck, liked it didn't love it. Not the chef's fault I didnt know how much orange sauce would be on it, should have asked.
The Flatiron Room is a fun and unique experience. It is a step back in time with a certain 1920s swagger. You get amazingly unique live entertainment surrounded by an extremely large whiskey selection. There whiskey selection is quite extensive and our very helpful server guided my wife to a few great whiskey selections. I myself stuck with their outstanding cocktail menu.
Let’s take this from the top. A bunch of my friends and myself bought tickets to an event happening at this bar since our friend was performing. The long haired male security guard up front is straight up rude and disrespectful. We assumed that the event was for all ages (it was a musical performance) and when my two younger siblings came to the door (both 20) he immediately denied their entry. When I went to speak to him about why, WITH NO ATTITUDE, he immediately started arguing with us, people who were all of age, saying that he wouldn’t let us in either. All he had to do was say it was a 21 and over event. When I told him this, his response was “WELL, you started it.” We quickly ended that conversation and headed downstairs without our younger siblings because we obviously understood his reasoning and we would have much quicker had he nicely explained that. The blue haired female bartender downstairs refused to serve my friends drinks because “you people don’t tip” when EVERY SINGLE PERSON THERE, me especially, tipped at least 15 per order. I have receipts to prove it. When the people there started questioning her, she went and told a manager that my friends were trying to “jump her” and throw a lit candle at her because of drink prices, which never happened. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. If we didn’t like the prices, we wouldn’t have purchased as many as we did. I do need to mention that the male bartender who was there before her was very professional and helpful. I find it a bit ironic that no one “threatened him about the prices.” It was also said that people were threatening the security guard which if that were the case, why were we allowed in? This is a very racist and unprofessional establishment and I will be sure to highly advise anyone I know to NEVER go there, especially if they are of color.
Came here to stay on theme with our Broadway show. The atmosphere was great, with the saxophone and piano music playing. I had the boeuf bourguignon, and honestly it wasn't amazing. it was lacking in flavors. This came as a surprise to me because it's a dish hard to make not flavorful. My friends got the cordon blue and the coq au vin. No one remembers the cordon blue, but the coq au vin was the star of the night. You can't go wrong with a red wine sauce. Everyone kept going back for bites of her meal.
Great food. Inside-out meatballs is creative and cheese inside is good. The wild-mushrooms sauce on ravioli have rich flavors and meat inside make this dish not greasy. Bread in beginning is soft and have great wheat scents. Service and music taste also good.
Simply disappointing. Far from the claim of a top restaurant. The value for money is not correct at all. The food was prepared without love, it was simple average at most. Advance cheap bread with packaged butter, no salt, pepper or oil at the table. Service didn't feel like it, didn't ask. All in all, way too expensive for food and service. Definitely not a recommendation. More seine than reality.
The bartender was polite and attentive. He put on Broadway videos with music that was fantastic... then came a typical Drag Queen show, unoriginal and for me uninteresting, so I left. I would have stayed if there were more Broadway with videos. Hooray to the bartender... And his fantastic choices.
Fiddlestick's Pub is a great spot for those looking for fast service and tasty food. The pub offers a variety of seating options that cater to different group sizes and preferences. The food is satisfying and includes both classic pub fare and more unique options. Fiddlestick's Pub is a solid choice for a casual meal with friends or coworkers.
This place is horrible. The drag queens beg for money as if . Everything is about money, some guys left his jacket, and they went to check if there was any money in the pocket.
The bartender didnt even smile or say thank u, but demanded a tip. When he was given a tip, NOT a thank you or a smile. Full of attitude. Worth ZERO STAR TBH

My family and I's experience here was amazing! They let us sit early from our reservation and were very accommodating the whole night. Our waiter, Will, was absolutely one of the best waiters I've had in NYC. He was very attentive, helpful, and great at recommendations of drinks and food. We never had to worry about waiting for more drinks, water, or food.
Their drinks were hands down the best I've had in NYC, not too expensive, very flavorful and not too strong or weak - just perfect.
All of their food was delicious. I absolutely recommend their fries (amazing sauces) as an appetizer, and the scotch eggs were very good as well. For main dishes, we had the sea bass, fried chicken, chicken pot pie, and fisherman's pie, and they were all really good.
I definitely recommend coming here at least once, especially if you're on vacation!

Fantastic, amazing. If you are into jazz, this is a great spot. We watched Ty Stephens in the lower level called Theater. The place is very cozy and good for interaction with the artist.
Seats at the bar or table should be bought in advance online for the show. Then there's a 20usd minimum consumption fee per person.
They have table service throughout the show.
Very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Live jazz music every day in this speakeasy vibe bar and restaurant.
Dimed lights, shelves of liquor surrounding you and chilling ambient.
Friendly staff and excellent service.
Little pricey though... recommend to make reservation.

Increased pre-fix menu price by $10 in the span of 6 months! It’s $70 now. We had escargot for appetizer (my husband remarked the escargot we had at Epcot in Disney recently tasted better! So there’s that). Coq au vin entrée (bland, could taste the red wine in the sauce too much, might try the peppercorn sauce instead next time), and crème brûlée dessert (my fav part! The top was lightly torched but the whole thing melted in mouth). Signature cocktail (as pictured below). Had vodka and pineapple juice in it, so refreshing. We also tried the dish this restaurant is known for: French Onion Soup Burger. It was double patty, cheesy, amazingly caramelized onions, 10/10. Back to the vibe: a singer flew in from LA and she was lighting up the place with beautiful live music and customer interaction. Enjoyed listening to the live band and staring at the beautiful paintings on the wall. Overall, a place to spend around $170 for 2 people to sit back, eat ‘alright’ french food, and enjoy a relaxing environment.
Traditional old-school pub located in a great area. Can’t say how crowded it gets on nights / weekends, but we came as a group late on a week night and there was plenty of space to have a casual conversation without shouting over each other.
Their old fashioned met expectations for me though we weren’t given waters by default.

Honestly, honestly. Good service firstly, because my husband and I went to see a show on broadway after the dinner so the staff made sure our food was finished quicker so we’d make our show.
The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and welcoming I must say.
Now the food was okay. I’ve tried French cuisine before— exquisite. However this restaurant was very mediocre from the appetizer to the dessert. I wasn’t sure if it was this way because they were rushing on our meal, but I do feel if the food would taste this way the pricing should be cheaper.
Other than that, had a fine time. P.S. if you order from there, do not order the rainbow trout. It’s really not good. I don’t know why they recommended it to me.

Fantastic. Iconic. Memorable. If you are a fan of jazz, then Birdland is a must-stop when in NYC. They recommended buying tickets online, but I took a chance to buy my ticket at the door. It was not a problem, and I saved myself the $5.00 online "convenience" fee: $ 30.00 entry and a $20.00 food and beverage minimum. I went to the 5:30 show of the SUNY Purchase Latin Jazz Orchestra. How must it feel to be a college student and perform on such an iconic stage, a place where legends have performed? Pretty heady stuff. They were fantastic. I did have dinner, a green side salad, and the Cajun Jambalaya. It was okay, nothing terribly exciting, but then I did not go for the food; I went for the history and the 🎶 music.
This is a very decent place for your pre-post show meal. Their prix fixe menu offers a broad cross-section of popular French dishes and desserts, and, to its credit, it does take off the edge of a difficulty to choose something. The service is pretty quick. The staff are mostly French, very polite and welcoming. The lighting, oil paintings and wooded accents add nicely to the atmosphere in the style of the French province, and is quite intimate and cozy. The only reason why I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is that the quality of food preparation leaves some room for improvement. Some of the same dishes I tried in France for a small fraction of the cost at Le Rivage were significantly tastier and prepared with more enthusiasm and improvisation. But given everything else, this is but nitpicking. I hence would recommend this restaurant.
What can be better on a rainy day than the warm peace of France in the middle of Manhattan? Add to it delicious food and excellent service. Thank you, “Le Rivage,” for making my day a little nicer. I especially want to thank my waiter Jose. Your kind service was definitely one of the best I have ever had.
Great food, clean, great service and quiet neighborhood! Definitely visit this place again.
I have been meaning to write a review about this place for a while. This has become my Fave bar in NYC. Between the shows and the happy hour alone I love any day here. The staff is great (especially for a gay bar haha). They remember me. Make me smile. Lucas is so adorable always funny and so much great energy. Tom is so sweet and handsome. Liam is a riot and makes a great drink. Steven is sillys and sexy. Greg is a great bartender but an even better singer when he appears on Monday nights. I'm a hard HARDWARE stan!!!
Bellini is a great place to come for a date night dinner. It's a beautiful restaurant that has amazing pasta and pizzas. We ordered their Linguini Vongole - this Pasta was so tasty, you get fresh baby clams, and a nice amount of garlic, and the white wine wasn't too overpowering, and nicely garnished with parsley and olive oil! it was perfect. As for their Cavateli Carbonara, it was super cheesy in a good way. Very filling but worth it. Now for their Pizzas, we ordered the Margherita Pizza and Prosciutto Pizza to go. The pizza was refresh with a thin crust and had nice char to it.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bellini and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant. The décor was elegant yet understated, and the ambiance was perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner for two.
The food at Bellini was simply outstanding. Each dish was expertly prepared using only the freshest ingredients, and the flavors were truly remarkable. I was particularly impressed by the pork chops we ordered, which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The wine list was extensive and well-curated, offering a great selection of wines that perfectly complemented the food.
But what really set Bellini apart was the level of service. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they went out of their way to make sure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. From recommending dishes to ensuring that our glasses were always full, they truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of.
Overall, I cannot recommend Bellini highly enough. It is an absolute gem of a restaurant, and I will definitely be returning in the near future. If you're looking for exceptional food, outstanding service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere, then Bellini is definitely the place to go!

This place is a pot of culture and it’s a vibe. If you’re visiting from anywhere in the world and would like to check out the local party and music scene, come here, this is a great taste of the city. Place sounds really nice and usually curates really good local talent. Drinks are good and fairly priced and the overall bohemian underground vibe fits very nicely
Had the fried calamari as appetizer. It was delicious. I ordered the linguine Vongole, my wife ordered penne with vodka sauce and my daughter ordered the margarita pizza with parsley and olive oil. They were all delicious. My only complaint was that the portion for my linguine was a little small for me. In the end it didn't matter, my daughter only ate half her pizza and my wife ate two third of her penne. I ate the rest. We topped it off with coffee and tiramisu for dessert. I left the restaurant stuffed and very satisfied.
Five star for the show. And one star for our seats. They really packed people in too tight. I suppose we should have arrived early for better seats. The sound quality was phenomenal.
Me and my family visited this restaurant on Sunday and the food was excellent!! I got the shrimp pesto pasta and it was delicious! my brother had the herb chicken with the vegetables and it was so tender and juicy. I don’t remember the name of the dessert but it was very good and not too sweet. Service was excellent, our server was very nice and gave us great suggestions and also made sure that we had iced water at all times! I’ll definitely be back again!!!!!
Great music but not really a dance bar - they wont allow you to dance - you can only sit by the tables and have a drink. I suggest the management that if they want to be a sit-down bar the music should be less loud and more ambient-music - it was also quite unusual that at 6pm after the pride parade - after serving cold beer, food and have great loud music we wouldn’t dance.
Still one of my favorite gay bars in Hells Kitchen, just because it is who it is. Not pretentious, just an everyday crowd, gorgeous and funny drag queens, and fun and personable bartenders. They have happy hour specials and plenty of space with the stage and DJ at the back.
This bar has an old feel to it, and it even seems to relish in this history through old photographs and decor. It also has a relatively modern feel with its music choices and mezcal-infused drinks. It's not a bad place for young people in the West Village.
This place is a gem. Located by the beautiful east river, our server Georgi and manager made our friday night very special. We had a party of 3 with outdoor heated seating and great privacy and space. The menu was wonderful in the sense that you can share practically anything and they made a porterhouse for 3 with both rib eye cuts and medium to well done on each side so everyone got exactly what they wanted for only $52 a head. They even cut the thick juicy bacon appetizer for us 3, I didn’t even know I would like horseradish sauce until I tried theirs! The fried calamari was fantastic - the rings were crispy with good batter and the marinara sauce was fresh with a nice spicy kick. The wine list is also huge and their lemondrops do not disappoint! They made them with minimal sugar and they were not stingy on shots . The server was so friendly, attentive and knew the menu very well with how to pair accordingly with drinks and sauces. They even heated up the sides ( creamed spinach and thick cut fries were to die for) several times with no problems ( we loved this place so much we sat over 3 hours!). The steak was juicy well seasoned with perfect cuts and the peppercorn sauce we ordered was fresh; the manager himself delivered it to us. I also was so happy that the restaurant gave us complimentary champagne when they found out we were engaged couple, very sweet and caring. PS the nyc cheesecake does not disappoint- the graham crust was perfect in texture and the cheesecake was thick with yummy strawberries and cream . The coffee here is also strong just the way I like it: for all this amazing food drinks dessert and topnotch service at only $400 this place cant be beat. Only thing that holds me back from 5 stars is that each side is ala carte as opposed to being included with your meat; they probably can invent a dish that includes everything together.
Everything was great! The food, the live music, the drinks, the service and more. Had a wonderful time here with my girlfriend. It's probably one of the best places in NY for a romantic date night. I wish we had a place like this in Vancouver, Canada. Thank you for everything!
Seems to be a nice restaurant at first view but the quality of the food is severely lacking. We had the Cesar salad, French onion soup, NY Strip, and mac n cheese. The salad and soup were fine, but nothing to rave over. The steak was one of the worst steaks I’ve ever had. The meat was so tough, tons of tendons and fat-terrible cut of meat for the price. So much of it was completely inedible, and very under seasoned. The mac n cheese was incredibly dry and also lacked any seasoning. The decor is a mishmash of old and new and is not appealing, the faux plants and extra decor items just sitting around is not aesthetically pleasing. I felt this was a huge waste of time and money, would have loved to spend $200 elsewhere for a good meal in the city. Major disappointment.
I go many often this place cause the food quality and the great location cross street to NU and the best view of 42nd Street Manhattanhenge and the landscaped grounds Tudor City Greens looking like part of a great mansion at 1st Ave. And 42nd St. Owner is walking around always greeting you. I will go again and again with pretty fashion models as always. On COVID season they have a nice outside tables with electric heaters.
The cocktails here are THE BEST! You can order any one of them from the menu and you won't be disappointed! The food is amazing especially for the price and the team here offer service that makes you feel like you are part of the family. It's a special vibe that I haven't been able to find anywhere else in the city. Love Fiddlesticks!
