Andrea G.Andrea Gambardella: Calamari is a must, burgers are old fashion style and really juicy, onion string great side, but I'd skip the brownie dessert. Hostess and bartenders were dolls but our waitress was not great

New York HabitatNew York Habitat: The burgers here are awesome and they're made even better when paired with the onion strings. Good for a casual lunch or dinner. Keep an eye out for the old school bathrooms as well.

Michelle A.Michelle Alexander: Blue cheese lovers need to try the BBQ Blue Cheese Burger, it's even better than the Cadillac. Shoe string onion rings are great as well.

Larry K.Larry Kooper: Get the cast iron focaccia, the onion torte, the rigatoni, and the bombolino. All stellar.

AmateurConciergeAmateurConcierge: Sexy room in high demand….and while the food is good, doesn’t justify the hype imo. Gnocco was great, onion tart v tasty but super rich. The rigatoni cacio good but off balance. Tomato’s meh

Marie L.Marie La Rue: Large luxurious dining room gives this place a corporate vibe. Onion tart, focaccia and skirt steak were standouts. Try the solid Negroni. Best for business diners.

The Corcoran GroupThe Corcoran Group: Make reservations or grab a seat at the bar and dine on The Black Label Burger, made with a selection of prime dry-aged beef cuts with caramelized onions. It’s totally worth it.

From The World B.From The World Blog: Ask for the famous Black Label burger, top meat, caramelized onions and very good fries. In French places is also difficult not to ask for a roasted bone marrow.

Village VoiceVillage Voice: The Black Label Burger with dry-aged beef and a pillowy bun smothered with caramelized onions & tangy cheddar cheese? Or the easygoing classic? Either way, both burger here are off the charts.
