Incredible spot. A friend’s had this on their list for a while and they know their drinks so this place was bound to be solid. The interior is really cozy with warm vibes and if I could give service 6/5 stars I absolutely would. Every single person working here was incredibly personable, helpful, genuinely upbeat, and provided amazing service. They also had a solid, well curated playlist. The drinks also blew us out of the park. The C.R.E.A.M. Margarita is definitely very much so a margarita b

Absolutely fantastic. The whole place is a vibe. The decor is great. The crowd is great. The food, omg..... amazing. Just simply amazing. Probably the best hot pot experience I have ever had. Everything was delicious. Runs on the spicy side, and I do not say that lightly as I love spicy food. So, if you like medium spicy, get the mild, LOL. The broth was fantastic, so so flavorful. The sauce station had everything. The meats were so good, amazing quality. The enochi mushrooms were absolutely di

Bi-level French brasserie with a popular brunch, a vibrant bar scene & live opera Saturday nights.
Visited during the Christmas holiday, the decorations were indescribable! Service was pretty decent for a Saturday. My party of eight sat at a high table, however the chairs were super unstable(don’t recommend if you have small children). I ordered the Pesto Chicken Sandwich which comes with fries, thin sliced and hearty serving. They have a variety of seasonal drinks, which I really appreciate. I got the Bad Santa which was good overall, however could’ve been colder. Overall, Papillon’s is a cu

Japanese noodle soups served in a cozy nook styled like a traditional, old-timey ramen shop.
I stopped into Nishida Sho Ten Ramen today and ordered the Tan Tan Ramen, which has become one of my absolute favorites. The broth is incredibly rich, thick, and flavorful, loaded with ground pork, scallions, bok choy, and plenty of chili heat. It is hearty, comforting, and so satisfying that I often find myself asking for extra noodles because I just don’t want the bowl to end. If you enjoy spicy ramen with a deep, savory broth, this is a must-have and I highly recommend it—you won’t regret ord

This KFC, or rather Korean Fried Chicken place, opened up back in April on 1st Avenue, with a new one having very recently opened on 2nd Ave and 73rd. I went here a while back to order lunch for takeout, and it was pretty good. After they opened, they added some specials ranging from $15 to $17, combining chicken with fries or dumplings, and I went with the sweet and spicy boneless chicken with standard fries, as you can also update the fries to the "spicy snow" version for an extra $1. The cash

The room is fully private and they give an iPad as well as the ability to use our own phones to queue songs. Mics work great sound is clear and full control of sound quality and volume.

The mackerel plate and agedashi tofu were PHENOMENAL and portions were perfect for us. Relatively inexpensive too but tasted VERY high quality. The staff was so kind and gave us plenty of time to order and we didn’t feel rushed in the slightest. They even offered to charge my aunts phone. The food came out super fast as well and it was very pleasing to the eye. The atmosphere was beautiful and quiet and the wooden utensils and cups were a great touch.

Korean eatery with contemporary decor open 24 hours for traditional fare like kimchi & bibimbop.
Continues to be a staple in K-Town! Their kimchi is cut fresh right from the kimchi pots in front of your table and has a great taste, featuring cabbage and radish. They are very consistent with their ox-tail/beef broth stews—love them every time! They just started their naengmyun menu for the summer (not pictured here but I hade it for takeout on their first day), and their version does not disappoint. Highly recommend for both those looking for a warm hug of a meal with their stews or somethin

Grilled whole fish stars on a classic Greek menu at this bright, airy bistro with an expansive wine list.
We took a recommendation from the firefighters at FDNY 65, and they absolutely nailed it. Kellari Taverna offered one of the most wonderful dining experiences we’ve had in the city. We tried the pre-theatre menu, and every dish was mouthwatering—fresh, authentic, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is beautiful, striking that perfect balance between elegant and welcoming with its bright, airy feel. It truly is a great spot for a special night out or a pre-show meal.

I have been to Chili many times over the years. I go solo, with friends and family or romantic dates. Food is always phenomenal. Last week I went for my birthday and although we had to wait a little passed our reservation time for another party to finish. Jonathan and the other servers made it up to us with a lovely birthday treat! Chocolate mousse with a sparkler and then this sesame ball sake thing, it was delicious!

Compact eatery serving Japanese curry dishes, including chicken, shrimp & sausage options.
They don’t understand how happy I am to have them back. I mean to the moon and back happy to have them back. Literally ALL of my favorite places to eat are gone either due to the pandemic or just the crazy rent for businesses here. The is comfort food for me. When they came back last year I walked away with a few Large to eat for a few days and a small to eat on the train ride home. My lady and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary this month and are just treating ourselves.

A white-table cloth spot in Little Brazil serving traditional Brazilian cuisine & cocktails.
This is a hidden gem in the midst of all the chaos of the city. You walk through the door into a peaceful, beautiful atmosphere. The menu has a ton of options for everyone. The beef parmigiana was a tender steak, that is breaded and cuts so easily because of how tender it is. The chicken estroganoff was very tender and flavorful. Our server, Joao, recommended pairing it with mash potatoes and he was so right!! They have an amazing hot sauce that is made by one of the servers and we took a bott

Finished a nice stroll in Central Park and viewing of the cherry blossoms, on my way to work, decided to check out this location as it was close to my job. Upon entering around 2-3pm it was surprisingly empty. We got sat down pretty quickly and ordered the beef broccoli and chicken basil. Sadly the problem started with receiving the wrong order, we got chicken broccoli instead of beef. Another flaw with the waitstaff was they put someone else’s dish in front of us.

Japanese small plates & a deep sake list in a blond-wood izakaya hidden beneath an office building.
Came with a coworker since i'm leaving out of the city. Service Service was spectacular. Everyone was kind and welcoming from the get go. They took care of holding on to our work backpacks at the front of the restaurant. I noticed they also hung suits/jackets on the racks before walking in, which is nice to know if I ever come back :) Atmosphere Atmosphere was a bit dark, but also very Japan themed and pretty.

I went to the 51st street location on Sunday, midday around 3 PM. I was by myself and sat at the bar. Staff was kind and very attentive. I go to lots of restaurants alone and because I’m not a big party I find I don’t always get the best service. This is the third location I’ve been to and every time it has been a wonderful and pleasant experience. That says something about the people they hire and what they put into their employees. I spoke with the manager and bartender during and after my mea

Hip, counter-serve chain for gourmet takes on fast-food classics like burgers & frozen custard.
Shake Shack is absolutely worth a stop! The burgers are incredibly delicious — juicy patties with loads of melted cheese. Pair them with the crinkle-cut fries topped with cheese and bacon for the perfect combo. The place is clean, has a good atmosphere, and the wait time is short.

Upstairs Japanese yakitori spot transporting diners to Tokyo via grilled skewers & a bustling scene.
I'm so happy to have come back and found the food and atmosphere is just as good as I remembered. Agedashi tofu is still one of my faves. We got lots of skewers and left super happy with the authentic Japanese goal grills. It takes a bit of time, but it's got the perfect smokey taste. Definitely make a reservation, but if you get there early on a weekday, you'll have some bar space for 1-2 people.

Snug, bustling storefront serving an ample selection of Thai standards.
The food here is incredible and seasoned to perfection. Honestly one of the best Thai spots in NYC. The appetizers are satisfying, everything tastes fresh, and the portions are generous. Highly recommended. However, the service was lacking, which made the experience feel a bit less welcoming. It felt as if the staff didn't want to be there and were annoyed by customers. That said, the person who brought the food out from the kitchen was lovely and friendly! Owner, if you’re reading this: pleas

Thanks to Ash at the Hilton for the recommendation. Michael at the bar took care of us and we had a great window on the street for people watching. We will be back.

Went as a guest for a birthday party for bottomless brunch. Friendly service, great music with a live DJ. I didn't want to drink and staff was able to accommodate by letting me order a la carte & pay via separate check. The only downside was that my (and 1 other person) entree was served well after everyone else had finished eating. They were very apologetic though. Overall, think it's a really good deal and atmosphere. Bottomless includes, mimosas, Bellinis, white sangria, and screwdrivers. Eve

Came here to celebrate my birthday and really enjoyed it. Booking through Google Maps was easy. The khachapuri was delicious, and the eggplant rolls were one of my favorite dishes. Our waitress recommended a Georgian red wine, and it was a great choice. Just a heads-up: live music is only on certain days, so don’t expect it every evening. They also surprised me with a complimentary Pavlova dessert for my birthday, which was a really nice touch. The restaurant was busy and a bit noisy, but the

My spouse and I went to the Madison Avenue location and were surprised to find that they didn't have any of my favorite strawberry cupcakes available. The woman behind the counter suggested that we walk to the 2nd Avenue location, which was quite a walk but we decided it was worth it. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with outstanding customer service from Tarina. She even remembered me from a previous review!

This place is phenomenal. I took my fiancé here yesterday for his birthday and we absolutely adored the ambiance of this place. Well decorated and has great live music! Upon arrival we were given two complimentary servings of champagne and wished a happy birthday. The appetizers were great; the kimchi fried rice was so delicious I will be thinking about it for months. Omakase box was tasty, fresh, and light. The gin and vodka martinis were strong but very light. We also got complimentary dessert

Cozy, hip spot featuring Chinese dry pot with a choice of spice level, plus appetizers and dim sum.
This review is long overdue—I first tried Mala over a year ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I find myself craving it all the time, and it’s honestly one of the highlights I look forward to on every NYC trip. The food brings the heat in the best way possible!

Warm, white-tablecloth eatery offering a kosher menu with Italian influences in wood-hued environs.
Food was fantastic! The oyster steak came out perfectly medium rare, juicy, flavorful, that rich sauce was delicious. Chocolate fondue for dessert was appealing warm chocolate with fresh strawberries, bananas, brownie chunks… crispy zucchini and yam fritters were good too. Cocktails were strong and tasty (loved the Maple Old Fashioned). Thanks Sandra super friendly and fully on top of the situation!.

Fantastic authentic Korean comfort food spot in NYC! Their spicy braised pork pan was glossy, well-marinated and packed with deep umami flavor, paired flawlessly with chewy japchae. The short rib stew hits all the right warm, comforting notes, and compact seaweed rice bites make for an addictive appetizer. Reasonable portion sizes and warm dining vibe—ideal for casual group dinners, highly recommend for anyone craving traditional Korean home cooking!
