HaSalon

HaSalon NYC is hands down one of the best dining experiences in the city! From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric--lively music, a vibrant crowd, and a staff that made us feel right at home.The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and perfectly executed. The cocktails were also top-notch, complementing the meal perfectly.As the night went on, the restaurant transformed into a full-on celebration--people dancing, singing, and just enjoying the moment. It's rare to find a place that delivers both incredible food and an unforgettable atmosphere, but HaSalon does it effortlessly.If you're looking for a night out that's more than just dinner--something truly special--this is the place to be.

Ok - let's chat. Went to a birthday party last year - this place was fun! And food was very good and presented family style. Assorted bread, salad, fish, steak and a bunch of veggie sides - all prepared very farm to table and not fried. Appreciated that! Def a younger crowd and loud but again very fun for a late night dinner celebration! Overall pricey but for a special occasion, I'd say it's worth it!!

I simply cannot say enough about this restaurant except that everything you eat will be beyond delicious. The food is delectable . The service is impeccable. The ambience is second to none. It is a vibrant, wonderful atmosphere of just impeccable eating and fine dining. It really is an experience and one that you can enjoy on a date or just out for dinner with friends or celebrating a really happy event- you're guaranteed to have a good time

Oh, forgot to include this in the last review. And this is definitely 1 star. A member of our party, had a to go box. When we left it was pouring rain, so she asked the hostess for a bag to put the to go box in. The hostess said they didn't have anything to give her, so ripped off a plastic umbrella covering and tried to squeeze the to go box into it. You can't make this stuff up...

5 star ambiance!!!!! Amazing food and vibe! We have the best steak and pasta, the place then turned into a party. Sooooo much fun!!!

After having gone to Kyma shortly before Hasalon, the expectations were set that Hasalon would be similar. It was not. Though the food was very solid, the music selection was truly terrible. Some Israeli hits were sprinkled in but overall the bulk of the music was nostalgia junk American pop. Unlike Kyma that kept their music consistent with what you'd realistically find in Mykonos or places of the like.

If you know what to expect going in, you will not be disappointed by this fun spot with good vibes and good food.The basic premise here is a late evening dinner that turns into a brief party and ends in dessert. The experience is broken up well and transitions smoothly. The party portion is between 1030 to 12 more or less. Be prepared to spend 4 hours here and factor that in when you consider the price. The crowd is mostly mid 30s. I got a martini at the lounge bar while waiting and the glass came chilled out of the freezer which I always appreciate.The food is quite good for a spot like this. The prices are, in fact, outrageous especially given that some dishes come with literally just a few bites of food. The menu is notoriously confusing. They sent out a focaccia on the house which was one of the best I have ever had anywhere. The hiramasa carpaccio is really good and is paired with salt and olive oil. The branzino (lubina) was juicy and served hot but does have bones. The Hell's chicken is really juicy and filling but could use more seasoning. I had the steak on a separate occasion and remember really liking it. I would skip the lamb shank as it is a bit one note in flavor and crudely plated. I would also skip the sardine sashimi and ricotta gnocchi (7 bites for 40 bucks is a joke).I always have a great time here and plan to come back more than the 4 star rating may suggest. The food is expensive for the quality but is tasty and in the end you spend just under 200 a person for a 4 hour miniature night out.

Came here to celebrate a friend's engagement and I think will be my last time lol. It wasn't necessarily a bad time/food/~ vibe ~ per se, it was just a pricey dinner experience I'm ok just trying once. Food and drinks tasted fine and our server/service was good at least. We were a party of four and ordered a little on the lighter side but bill came out to a little under $300 per person (which did include tip and two shots, a cocktail, and bottle of champagne split per person). Alcohol definitely adds to a meal's price, but the food sadly was also really expensive in general for size/quality. Ricotta clouds (handful of cheesy gnocchi pieces) was $34 a plate, $39 for a small leek and fennel galette, $51 per plate of mushroom pasta... etc. Hard to recommend dishes when the price tag doesn't quite fit the taste/portion.Overall, HaSalon offers pretty tasty, fairly expensive bites and becomes quite the dinner and party scene if dining in during the "second session" (anytime after 7:45). Definitely a "do it for the gram" or to impress meal.

Know what to expect before going! First of all, as a foodie and a city girl, I've never seen such an insane markup of every single item on a menu. You would think that with the prices they had there would be way more food. However, it makes sense given the $120 food (not beverage) minimum per person. The food was decent, nothing to go nuts over although the short rib was pretty fantastic.Despite all of that, people go for the PARTY. It's a fun scene without being disgustingly crowded. Around 10pm everyone starts dancing on the tables to great music, the staff gets into it, and we even jumped into a conga line with the other diners.Go for the fun, not the food. And brace yourself for the hefty bill!

Fantastic food - steak is a must have, bread and tzatziki, cheesecake are all great. Spinach pasta and salad were pretty flavorless though. Incredibly fun atmosphere with everyone dancing on tables around 1030-1045pm.
