"I went to this restaurant for some lunch and a couple of cocktails. When I arrived, I had to circle the block a few times to find parking. I found parking about 10 minutes away. I walked into a cute restaurant. I was sat by the manager and Luis was my server, and he was good. I ordered from the lunch menu, the pumpkin gnocchi, and the Nashville chicken sandwich. For my cocktails, I got the espresso martini, which was really good, and the lemon drop martini, which was ok. The food came out, and I enjoyed the gnocchi. It was different as far as flavor but good. The Nashville chicken sandwich was good, just a little sticky. I definitely had a good experience!"

"Quick meet and eat with Lisa E. and our lovely daughter Mele before a show. Second time here bit first indoors. Nice NY bar feel with a more than decent cocktail list. My classic negroni was indeed as described, classic in every sense. The duck confit carnitas was a delight to eat! Two crispy skinned legs plated with everything needed to make mexican style peking duck. Appetizer portion was more than enough for a meal. I could see their chipotle hoisin sauce becoming the latest sriracha craze."

Friedmans

"American style lunch. Solid options. Decent portion size.Service was decent, I think we had a switch of waiter half way. But staff are very friendly and respectfulThere are two sections for seating, one near the outside door, and a section further in. Has a diner theme seating."

Giorgio's of Gramercy

★★★★☆ 4.1 (843) • $$$

"Loved this place so much. Came here with one of my girlfriends on a cold night. The bartender was nice. I wasn't sure what to order because I'm a tequila girl. So he made me a tequila soda. I believe my friend just had a beer. It's a great little bar area. I did see that they have a food dining area in the back. :bathroom alert:"It's a little strange passing everyone's tables to get to the bathroom. Make sure you watch your step. But overall, it was clean. I could see myself coming back here to start the night. Not to end it. I didn't think I was going to be allowed to come in because I was dressed like a bum. The prices were really good too."

The Horny Ram

★★★★☆ 4.2 (799) • $$

"While waiting for our dinner reservations, we popped into this lovely bar for a quick drink. It was quite busy on a weeknight, but bartenders were also quick to take our orders and provide any service.I ordered the Garden of Heat-en ($16) while my friends had the Drink Formerly Known As ($16) and #HornyinNewYork ($16). All three drinks were refreshing and colorful. All the ingredients were prevalent as we sipped the drinks. Great bar to meet with friends in the lively Midtown East area."

"Walked here from my hotel in Chelsea and I am glad I did! Great experience! Friendly service and great food! Truly a little gem in the West Village. Great outdoor sitting with great people watching. I had the avo toast with brioche French toast. DELICIOUS. Food was tasty light and just right. THANK YOU! I will be back!"

Cebu Bar & Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (932) • $$

"Cebu Bar & Bistro is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. We stumbled upon this place Christmas Eve Weekend after trying to go to both Kettle Black & Ho Brah for dinner and both being closed for private holiday parties. Boy, were we happy to find that Cebu was open. Even though the back room was occupied for a private party, the rest of the establishment was open for regular dinner service. Cebu is accessible via public transportation, including the R tain to 86 Street Train , as well as the B37 & B16 & B63 buses. There are various stores, eateries & hangout spots around this neighborhood, and Cebu is near a few places, including Chadwicks, which is a nice Steak House. When we eventually crossed the street and went into Cebu, we were glad to be greeted by the lovely hostess and to find seats at the bar area. Menus were provided to us, and I observed a nice-sized crowd of patrons enjoying their dining experience while eating fabulous llooking dishes. Cebu has a chic ambiance and lively atmosphere. Cool lighting and pictures are all throughout Cebu, including in the bathroom. Great music played in the background - Dua Lupa, Rihanna, etc. We ordered the "Modern Love" cocktail - Empress 1908 Gin, Elderflower & Lavender, and the "Spiked Lemonade" cocktail - Deep Eddy, Sweet Tea Vidka, Lemonade & Mint. Both of the cocktails were delightfully refreshing. Cebu gives complimentary bread, which was served warm and tasted fresh. Our Steak Skewers Appetizer as well the Entrees- Rigatoni w/ Sausage and Slamon w/ Asparagus - were good. Shout-Out to Doug, Richard, Brian, Natalie & especially to Fernando as they all were so kind to us. Cebu Staff provided wonderful customer service, and we look forward to returning to try other dishes. Hours of Operation - Mon. - 12pm -10pmTue. - Thurs. - 4:30pm - 10pmFri. - 12pm - 11pmSat. - 11am - 11pmSun. - 11am - 10pmWebsite - cebubrooklyn.comInstagram - @cebubarbistroNYC Winter Restaurant Week is 1/16/24 - 2/4/254.

"We had a big group to try out all the dishes they have on the menu. Overall it was great! My favorite is their breads: so soft and fresh. The grilled shrimp dish is also amazing. My least favorite is mussels because I have had elsewhere better. Most of the dishes are on the salty side, with a lot of sauces (especially for the salad) and it's not really exactly my preference.Staff is attentive. Drinks are bomb! Will try to come back!"

The Odeon

★★★★☆ 3.9 (836) • $$$

"I loved it! It was 200% busy on Wednesday snow night! The bar is cute, I got there early and had a martini then my friend arrived and we moved to the table. I love their onion soup, it's pretty heavy and I recommend to share. We had steak tartare, beef stake, salad and flies then share caramel pudding was delicious! Sorry forgot to take foods pictures."

"*** 3.5 stars ***This review is only for the spam musubi.On the hunt for the best spam musubi in NYC, I decided to spend $20 getting an order of the spam musubi spicy + spam musubi regular delivered to my house. Pricey, but if it was the best it would be worth it (note that $8 of that cost was delivery, but even so, for the portion size, $6 for 3 pieces is pricey).I found both to be a bit too salty and the spicy really didn't do it for me - it took away from the taste of the spam musubi itself. The regular was good - not the best, and not the worst, but as I mentioned, pricey for what you get.Will continue on my hunt!"

Cafe Cluny

★★★★☆ 3.7 (889) • $$$

"Cute atmosphere, nice servers and host, good food. Was overpriced but that's to be expected from a trendy NYC cafe. Overall great atmosphere!"

The Cabin NYC

★★★★☆ 4.1 (720) • $$

"My girlfriends and I got here after 4pm on a Friday, and we were the first ones. It was lovely sitting by the open window, and the fans were blasting. There are large TVs, which were showing the Olympics. More fun for us.The menu was pretty robust for the time of day. I could have had any of the cocktails, truly. The campfire old fashioned hit the spot.The bartender was chill and nice - attentive enough. The decor, particularly the central tree, is stunning. It feels like a very fancy cabin."

★★★★☆ 4.1 (706) • $$

"A great go to spot for my friends and I! Great environment, and a bonus in the winter- lots of coat hangers on the wall :)The prices aren't wild for being in this area...which we appreciate. Drink prices aren't too bad. The staff is great."

"I came in with no expectations. But I was delighted with the food. Well seasoned, well cooked, great selection. The service is good as well. I do recommend it, it tastes healthy!!"

Hunt & Fish Club

★★★★☆ 3.9 (737) • $$$

"The Ambiance is amazing.. the food was impeccable and the service was on point. Right in heart of Times Square is this gem of a restaurant perfect for a birthday celebration. Very expensive yet feels like it's worth every penny. Definitely recommend checking it out to celebrate something or someone special."

"Absolutely delicious every time we visit! Our favorite spot for fresh veggies and finger-licking delicious pasta. Highly recommend!"

Walter's

★★★★☆ 4 (672) • $$

"Walter's is a Fort Greene, neighborhood gem. Since moving into Fort Greene almost, twelve years ago we have eaten at Walter's too many times to count. The staff is very attentive, kind and welcoming. I love the cozy atmosphere and, the food keeps us coming back. Without a reservation, the wait for a table can be long. That only speaks to the loyalty, good food, service that you receive when dining at Walter's. I love starting with the oysters. The burgers are delicious - juicy and so tasty. The fries are crispy, thin and addictive. One of favorites is their the Wagyu French Dip sandwich. Served with caramelized onions, a lovely horseradish cream, au jus with Gruyère cheese on a delicious baguette. The fried chicken is crispy and flavorful on the outside and tender in the inside. Just what really good fried chicken should be! Served with one of my all-time favor, comfort foods, garlic, mashed potatoes.We will be back again and again, that's a given. I hope you enjoy Walter's as much as I do!"

The Flatiron Room Murray Hill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (575) • $$$

"Outstanding evening. The food and ambiance were impressive. Everything was excellent. Our server Josue did an excellent job. Really enjoyed our night."

Estela

★★★★☆ 3.9 (697) • $$$$

"I don't have pics of everything I ate because we were too busy enjoying the food and conversation at the table. Service here is always A1. They are attentive w/o being annoying. The restaurant is cozy, it doesn't feel cramped. This was my second time here. What I love about the food at Estela is how playful every dish is. Every plate was cleaned, no crumbs. My friend even took the ricotta dumpling broth from bowl to her face, it was so good. Things I highly recommend are the beef tartar, the Endive granola, the arroz and ricotta dumpling! We also did the cheese board and chocolate cake . Tip: I always recommend making a reservation. They be booked and busy."

American Cut Steakhouse Tribeca

★★★★☆ 3.9 (694) • $$$$

"So the ambiance here is very nice and corporate dinner-esque. But we didn't think the food was memorable or anything to write home about. We came for Restaurant Week so got to try a bunch of their hits. On the whole, things were bland. That includes the spinach, Mac & cheese, and the burger. Here's the standouts:- The biscuits they give you for free- The pickles that come on the side of the burger- The chili lobster soup"

Pennsylvania 6 NYC

★★★★☆ 4 (657) • $$$

"We had tickets for a NY Rangers playoff game and came for dinner. We walked in to find lifesize cutouts of Ranger players when we walked in! Their bar drinks were quite good, and their pub menu was extensive. We started with Middle Eastern hummus, and then the Penn6 burger and margherita pizza, which were very good. Their apple cobbler hit the spot to finish the meal. Overall, good quality food for a reasonable price (for NYC) and their servers were pleasant and helpful. Atmosphere was a little loud, but hey - it's a bar where everyone was going to the game afterwards! Definitely a good spot for pre-game meals, just two blocks from the Garden!"

The Bar Room

★★★★☆ 4 (640) • $$

"Espresso martinis were not as coffee fwd as I would've expected for a place with an espresso martini subcategory but not bad."

Death Ave

★★★★☆ 3.8 (692) • $$

"This Greek influenced bar is easily a place you will be back for more!The house made pita chips were light and not hard like most pita chips are made. Soft enough to scoop from their house-made appetizers and not leave you with a chipped tooth haha.I was not thrilled with their Fried Pickle Chips. I think they tried too hard here. The batter was thick yet tasty. It held the pickle chip and its flavor well, but the chip was a thicker cut. This is no good. A thicker chip will hold the pickle juices and it will not fry well and get crispy. Therefore, when you take a bite, the hot juices will burn your mouth.The highlight for me was their Lamb Chops... sooooo good!!! Mouth watering, cut just right, meaty, flavorful, juicy. I am craving some right now. They were so good that I didn't even feel the need to dip them into the chimichuri sauce it came with."

NOMO Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.5 (814) • $$

"Beautiful, chic decor. A lot of natural light. Great, kind service. Good food. Would definitely return."

Brooklyn Diner Times Square

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (862) • $$

"Late post: During our recent trip, we stumbled upon a delightful culinary gem nestled in the heart of Times Square. Intrigued, we decided to give it a try. My choice was the House Specialty: Chicken Pot Pie. What a revelation! The dish arrived boasting a flawlessly golden, flaky puff pastry crust, concealing a treasure trove of tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a rich, savory gravy that was simply unforgettable. The flavors were perfectly balanced. It's a shame they only bake a limited number daily, as this is a dish truly worth savoring. Be warned, though - the portions are incredibly generous; come hungry! We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable and delicious dining experience in the bustling atmosphere of Times Square."

Sweet Science

★★★★☆ 3.7 (715) • $$

"A hearty brunch with hip hop and a casual vibe. The two dishes we ordered were filling and delicious with their unique flavors. Boss lady bomb - Tater Tots, Scrambled Eggs, Avocado Mash, Coconut Curry (his preferred choice)Jerk chicken hash - tasty! My preferred choice.We had a few glasses of Prosecco. There is a bottomless bubbles, etc option for those looking for a boozy brunch."

White Oak Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (488) • $$

"Came here with a few friends to catch up and the atmosphere was cozy on a rainy day! Staff were very nice and explained the menu items in detail and so we got the Brussels sprouts to start and each of us got burgers and a Ruben! Food was great and I would come back with my friends again"

Purbird

★★★★☆ 4.2 (498) • $$

"Lunch specials all day! We got the chicken breast + 2 sides + sauce + purbird bread. I had to get the purbird brownie too. The chicken is THE BEST here, can't go wrong. The garlic broccoli is pretty tasty as well. Their mashed potatoes aren't my favorite as they are pretty starchy and watery but the portion is generous. Definitely a consistent place for some delicious juicy roasted chicken."

queensyard

★★★★☆ 3.7 (622) • $$$

"Are you looking for a great date night spot, GNO, or perhaps a place to hold a corporate event, with an amazing view of the Vessel? Look no further as Queensyard just might be the place for you. NYC is one of the cities we love to visit as they have places like Queensyard where you can dress up (sorry im from Hawaii where dressing up to some are wearing their good pair of flip flops or as we call them in Hawaii "slippers", nice shorts and t-shirt with no pukas aka holes). The decor is amazing as there is different sections from the hip bar and lounge area, great place for after work drinks to the sophisticated and elegant dining room. The food for brunch as well as for dinner (yes we came twice) was really good. Their cocktails were nice and while service was a little slow, (I don't like when my water glass is empty) but we enjoyed not being constantly interrupted as well. I'm looking forward to coming back here again when I fins myself in the Big Apple."

Sweetwater Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (499) • $$

"Came here with a friends on Saturday around 4pm. We ordered the steak and eggs, fried chicken sandwich, sangria and a lavender mint lemonade. It took a really long time for our food and drinks to come. There was only one bartender but we waited over 20 mins just for the drinks alone, both of which were not good. However, the food more than made up for it, even though once again a long wait. My eggs were fluffy, soft and flavorful that I was raving about it as soon as I ate it. The steak was tender and the chimmichuri sauce went well with it. My friend really enjoyed her chicken sandwich as well. Overall, I would come back for brunch but I wouldn't get drinks from here."

Marlow & Sons

★★★★☆ 3.9 (550) • $$$

"I'm not sure how I've never reviewed Marlow & Sons, as its been my longest-standing go-to cafe in South Williamsburg. Operated by the same owners as next-door Diner and She Wolf Bakery, Marlow & Sons transforms into a cocktail bar in the evening, but during the day serves eclectic sandwiches and pastries. My favorite option is the Spanish tortilla, which is generally hard to find in NYC, filled with chunks of potato that melt in your mouth and paired with a light mayo."

The Clam

★★★★☆ 4.1 (484) • $$$

"Great food, nice ambiance, good service. Slider combo and clam dip were both delicious, as was the wine by the glass. Not the cheapest place in the world, but value is fair for NYC and it's nice enough for special occasions, yet not stuffy in any way. Recommended."

Nowon East Village

★★★★☆ 4.3 (436) • $$$

"Came in last week with my friends who were visiting from Florida... had to bring them to Nowon. Food is always ridiculous and the vibe is on point. I will say this time the service was extraordinary. Andrea, Sydney, and I think it was Lexy? These 3 CRUSHED it. There were 2 bday's and they had the place smackin. I'll forever be a customer here and continue to bring people here. Make sure you get a legendary burger and the chopped cheese app. Fueeeeeego. Special shout out to Andrea - she really made the experience great and gave incredible recommendations for everything."

Clark's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (558) • $$

"Breakfast all day, everyday...with drinks (dranks), located in Brooklyn Heights, on the corner of tree line streets on Clark St. and Henry St., within walking distance of the Brooklyn Promenade and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge never disappoints. I like several dishes however my absolute fav is Benedict's & Eggs Avocado which includes poached eggs, English muffin with hollandaise, I add smoked Salmon. My choice of sides for brunch includes Yukon gold fried potatoes always served hot with green peppers and satisfying portions. Prices are modest based on the portions served. Food arrives hot and quickly even during brunch which is their busiest time of day. Did I mention they serve breakfast like all day? Delivery, vegetarian menus, and kids menus are available."
