Jenna Odett LaskinOctober 18, 2013The Blue Room upstairs seats 20, perfect for a delicious and casual private event. Amazing service too.
Nikolas FlorosAugust 22, 2014The food is good and the cocktails are great (try the Freeman's)! The staff are incredibly friendly.
Jen ZJuly 24, 2016Super intimate for dates and girls nights. Great cocktails and delicious filet mignon!
Catalina LaverdeOctober 4, 2014For appetizers order the Artichoke and The Devils on Horseback. Those two are the best ones of the house!
Katie SchlossJuly 27, 2012At this tucked away, gem of a restaurant, you must order the artichoke dip, deviled eggs on horseback, and the mac & cheese! #YouAreWelcome
Nelson WJanuary 1, 2013Try the Soft scrambled eggs with roasted potatoes and thick-cut bacon - Soft eggs, delicious, and airy. Perfect. #brunch
- Unreal brunch. Can't go wrong with Egg Skillet or Poached Eggs. Cozy atmosphere.
Elaine LOctober 1, 2013Enjoyed the artichoke dip and devils on horseback which was tapas size. This place is located across from Loreley Biergarten
Jordan MancusoFebruary 20, 2017"The Daddy" is so freakin tasty and nice to sip on. Pair it with the cheese plate and you've done it right.
Fernando T.February 26, 2016Not easy to find in the courtyard... If there is a seat next to the bar, in the second room, that's the place to be
Kevin GrantNovember 23, 2017Love the experience of finding this place. Super cozy with eclectic decor.
Chris LynnMarch 2, 2015Love, love everything about this place. No reservations, sometimes a wait but always worth it!
Sarah ColvinMay 28, 2012Always lovely. Try their cocktails! They are some of the best artisan cocktails I've every had! Love love love!
Brian MasefieldDecember 13, 2014Great cocktails and appetizers (artichoke dip, etc). Love the lodge-like interiors.

Tiziana RJanuary 20, 2014Fab little hidden gem in an alley, great food and service! Love the ambiance and decor!
Sam PezzulloFebruary 2, 2014The ultimate hipster brunch scene. Order a side of the thick cut bacon, it's delicious!
Mary Ann CaramDecember 30, 2009One of my all-time favorite restos in the city. You can't go wrong with the artichoke dip, followed by mac'n'cheese and an evening rounded out with bananas foster. Service can be spotty though.
Brent CaswellAugust 28, 2016Hidden gem. Worth it for the atmosphere alone. But the drinks are great too.
- Francis UdlerSeptember 9, 2013Really enjoyed the skillet eggs for brunch. Rich flavor. Artichoke dip is sooo gooood - get it!
Manda ShettletonFebruary 22, 2018The cocktails are tasty, and the atmosphere is interesting though not unique in NY. Food is 3/5. Not bad, but not worth ever returning. Apps & salad rating: “most underwhelming in ny in last year”
If you're there for lunch, they have a great roast beef sandwich. The fries are also delicious
Could be my favorite cocktail bar ever. Amazing pretty people watching place
Emily KaneFebruary 1, 2018They’ll let you take the bones from your marrow order home for your pup if you ask nicely. 🐶
Kathryn FleegelNovember 14, 2010If youre having brunch, get the seasonal fall hash- potatoes, squash, and roasted Brussels sprouts- with fried eggs! Delicious. Don't forget a side of French bread toast, it's not included
Nao MizJanuary 13, 2018Artichoke dip comes with lots of bread. Their bourbon cocktail with ginger was great but the main dishes were all Meh for the price.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Make reservations for brunch, and make sure to get several orders of their creamy artichoke dip.
Katie NadlerJuly 21, 2012The fruit punch is surprisingly good. It's not too sweet with a hint guava and mint
Allison AbbottNovember 14, 2016Lovely atmosphere! Loved the Freeman's cocktail and pork belly & beans.
Jeremy BekerDecember 3, 2014Cozy location down a fun alley. Not the best place to grab a meal solo, but looks wonderful for a group. Many small rooms.
Josh RJanuary 4, 2016Mac and cheese needs to be ordered as a side for the table! Hidden in a little alley.

"Controversially, I didn't actually enjoy the Brisket Sandwich. However, I loved everything on the 'raw bar' menu! Great grilled fish (Skate) too, and a good wine list (esp the Santorini)."
Paul Lomax - 9.0
"The grilled salmon w/ 2 market sides is a great deal (and delicious)"
Veronica Y - 9.3
"One of the best places in NYC, both in terms of quality and value. Try the tavern for great cuisine at an excellent price. We loved the monkfish with citrus salad ($22) & the ricotta cheesecake ($9)."
