Ways & Means

Pregamed at Ways and Means before heading across the street to le Poisson Rouge for a dance party. Nice small spot that also has a comedy club in the back. We sat at the bar. A gentleman helped us who I can't remember his name, but he went to the brother high school of my friends sister high school. He had a great personality. Gave us some nice recommendations. They are known for their Espresso Martini's (they use real espresso) and Spicy Margaritas (fresh mix) which were both very good.I first ordered the Meatball sliders based on his recommendation but later was told that the meatballs were being cooked. So I opted for the Philly sliders which was tasty with a nice soft bun. And the French fries were perfect. My dining partners had the wings, which they thought were cooked a bit too long but were good nonetheless.Definitely a nice spot to hang and chill. Bon Appetit! Enjoy! Cheers!

Let me just say this...... BEST SERVICE EVER. I would die for these bartenders. They were so accommodating and friendly. Great vibe and ambiance. Ummmm.... Not to mention a comedy show as well??? IM OBSESSED

Service is a 5. Food is a 3. So I'll average it to a 4. The bartender and staff are all extremely friendly, accommodating, and attentive. Thanks for that! The food leaves something to be desired... I wouldn't come back for food. Potato chips: 4. They're good. Thinly sliced so they have a nice crunch. It reminds me of the potato chips from comedy cellar. Could these be sister comedy restaurants? Chicken and waffles: serving size was small, but potentially reasonable considering the cost for the area ($17). The waffle wasn't super crispy, not flabby like other restaurants. The waffle lacked flavor though. The chicken was crispy but it lacked seasoning. I was hoping to get a flavor explosion, but no such luck. I think the chicken was over cooked but it tasted exceptionally dry, even for white meat. Perhaps because the chicken is cut thinly. I wouldn't order this again.

What a brunch!!! We hadn't heard of Ways & Means before this outing, but decided to take a chance on it. We arrived right as the restaurant was opening. Settled in at the hightop by the window. The restaurant and bar are mostly white with dark modern touches. Clean, bright and streamlined. We came for the bottomless brunch and were so happy we did. Excellent cocktails! I'm pretty sure we sampled them all. Started with mimosas, then tried the Bloody Mary, Margaritas and spiked lemonade. All very good. For food we ordered the AM burger- Chuck, brisket, rib eye, fried egg, bacon with crispy fries. Also tried the Garden omelette with home fries. Liked 'em both enough to order them again. The staff was great. Checked on us often and made us feel welcome. Mixing alcohol was the only regret, especially having four each, but every drink was so tasty, it was worth it! Next time we'll check out a comedy show, too.

Stopped in on a Friday evening before a show that was at The Bitter End as we saw that they had good reviews and small plates. We had a Vodka/Cranberry, a hot tea, and a coke, as well as Calamari, and steak skewers. The service was average as the person behind the bar area seemed to be interested in her phone quite a bit. The Calamari was good, and the marinated steak skewers had a good flavor but were very chewy. The meat was supposed to be Strip Steak but I have my doubts as I spent 42 years in the meat buisiness. ( I could be wrong, but leaning more towards sirloin ) Before we finished our plates and drinks we were asked to move from our seats as they had someone coming in for entertainment and they needed the end of the bar for that. Probably will not return but not a total bust.

I was walking around greenwich village and stopped by for drinks and a quick bite and ended up really liking the space. It's well decorated and has a fun, lively atmosphere. We got the Pink Paloma, Mediterranean Gin and Tonic, and the French fries. I thought the Pink Paloma and fries were good but not outstanding and the Gin and Tonic was a bit on the sour side. The host was very nice and attentive throughout the evening even though it was a busy night.

I had brunch at this little gem and the bottomless drinks are well worth your money!! You can get mimosas, certain cocktails and even some beers. I don't write reviews often but the service here was absolutely phenomenal and I wanted to give them a shout out. Thank you to the manager (or owner?) here who brought us a variety of hot sauces when we asked for a kick in our omelettes.I'll definitely be coming back for the comedy club tucked in behind the restaurant.

A couple friend are realtors and they had a listing for a PH in the village. After their showings, we met up here for brunch. Hindsight, it may have not been ideal for me to drink after a eight day binge sesh, but there we were again. The manager of the place was super sweet and I got their watermelon margarita. Fun fact, their drinks use unpasteurized juices and according to my drunk notes, it is from a ripe bar juice and they use New Haven? If anyone can make sense of that, please let me know? All I know is they use fresh and clean ingredients so the hangover is not that bad. I am not sure if my condition was not good or if the food I had may have gone bad, but after having the fried calamari, I wasn't feeling all that great and got sick when I got home. I wanted to stay out later and hang with my friends, but I had to go home. Despite the sick moment, most likely my condition more so than the food and drinks there, I will be going back here real soon with my friends. They found this place on Pulsed. There is a deal where two ppl can have bottomless brunch for 90 minutes for $50. That is $25 a head. If you had even a drink with your meal, you are getting your money's worth. Go there and say hi and tell them I sent you! You will enjoy the great drinks and get a laugh if you get a chance to talk to the manager.

Went here for bottomless brunch and it was excellent! Lots of drink choices but the margs are the way to go and very well made. The service was excellent and the staff was extremely attentive and kind. The burger was solid no frills and tasty. Cool interior and ambience, recommend.

An amazing experience. From the food, to the service, and the drinks (spicy margaritas were just incredible). Humble brag, I was a great bartender for MANY years and they were better than mine. The real deal, no corners cut. $33 for a 90 minute bottomless brunch and delicious eats? Yes, please! And you can switch up the drinks (mimosas, beer, BM, margs or a spicy lemonade). Unheard of post COVID!Eddie (the owner) and his family are doing the damn thing on Bleecker and have for decades. Pay them a visit and catch a comedy show while you're there. We snuck in on a Sunday and unexpectedly heard the most amazing 3 piece jazz band. Blue Note level...just wow. Every box checked. Well done, Ways and Means!
