Corner Bar

I usually don't do another review on a place so soon, but my first visit was awesome and my second visit was equally amazing.Again, easy to get a seat. Great service. Funny, engaging guy. Not too loud. Great music at a reasonable volume. If you go with friends, you'll be able to actually converse.I had the steak frites, served differently than I've ever had it. The meat was sliced very thinly, but was so sumptuous, moist, and flavorful. It was bathed in a peppercorn glaze. The frites, of course, were their famous hot, crispy fries that are on many "New York Best" lists.Cocktails all complex, creative, and smashing.

Excellent ambiance in the proper dining room as well as the cocktail bar. The bar dining room is a bit noisy and crowded, and would suggest not dining in this room if you want to have a clearer conversation with your fellow diners. The service is excellent, and our waters were refilled whenever it seemed necessary. The food was really wonderful- we both had the duck for dinner, and it was juicy and not too firm. The smoky peach was an amazing touch to that dish. Would return to try more appetizers, and dessert!

I love it here, it had very nice atmosphere and foods are great. We had some cocktails which were stylish and delicious then Broccolini, Stake tartare, Clams and pomodoro with red wine, finished with tiramisu. All of them are really good. Pomodoro was just perfect, they use bucatini which was perfectly al dente, tiramisu was so good!

Solid 3.5-4 stars. Despite the fat not being more rendered on the duck, it was still delicious. The crème brûlée is silky and smooth, with a nice sugar brûlée crust. I also got the shrimp cocktail which is just okay. Not nearly as juicy and plump as other places. They're very attentive and nice, plus the restaurant is pretty!

Great place to stop in for happy hour! The oysters were so fresh and the service was lovely!

I grew up in this neighborhood and this building was always under scaffolding for at least the last 10 years. So what a surprise when it finally came down and it was a hotel! Truthfully this place was good but overpriced. Service was good and the place is nice. We came here looking for the shrimp cocktail and the steak au poivre. To our surprise neither was on the menu anymore. So we went with the fruit de mer and the steak special of the day which was a chargrilled ribeye.The seafood platter was delicious and fresh. Great oysters as mussels. The steak was a bit too charred and the rosemary was a bit too overpowering. But overall it was good. The fries were delicious. We ending the night with the pineapple sorbet which tastes like a fancy Dole Whip. Overall the place is a bit overpriced for what it is but there was nothing inherently wrong. Would I come back? Probably just for the sorbet and cocktails. For the price point, I've had better elsewhere and that's ultimately what it comes down to.

Way too over priced for what it is. But the Pomodora pasta is delic! The wine pours are super weak, & the wine list is really pricey. Very average dining experience, you don't need to add it to your list. The service isn't very good either.

This was excellent. First visit, we got the oysters rockefeller, beets, spaghetti pomodoro, bolognese, steak au poivre, french fries, sorbet, and profiterole.Everything was great, with the pomodoro being the surprise star of the night (it was a last minute add for us) -- it was really amazing, despite the time of year, and I think the sauce was a cheesier sauce that had some thickness to it, which we really loved. The oysters and profiterole are probably also musts for next time, but really every dish was excellent.

I have no clue why this place has such mediocre reviews. It's excellent.The bartenders were prompt and attentive and didn't make a big deal of me sitting at the bar alone like I've had some other establishments do. They asked for still or sparking water and even when I requested still, they brought me a full wine sized bottle full. They continued to refill my water glass themselves if it got anywhere near even half full. The old fashioneds were excellent.I didn't order food, but the couple next to me did. They asked them about any dietary restrictions and allergies and made sure to put out paper placements for them, even though they were dining at the bar.I cannot recommend Corner Bar enough. Yes, the drinks are slightly on the pricier side but so is everywhere in NYC. The ambience is excellent and I enjoyed my time here.

Everything about this experience was so outstanding that I had to write a review! Let's start with the incredible staff. Their professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond for every request truly set the tone for an unforgettable visit. If you're heading here, do yourself a favor and ask for Sam, Julie, Ceasar, and Matilda--they are the dream team! They made my friend's birthday celebration absolutely perfect.Now, let's talk about the food and drinks. Simply put, they were phenomenal. My top picks were the Nine Orchard Breakfast and the French Toast--absolute standouts. Honorable mentions go to the French fries, fruit plate, burger, and oysters, all of which were equally impressive. As for drinks, the espresso martini was everything it should be: bold, flavorful, and perfectly strong.The ambiance? Pure magic. Cozy, inviting, and with a cinematic charm that made the entire experience feel special. This spot is a must-visit--don't miss out!.
