DipsologyJuly 31, 2012They've got the Hemingway Daiquiri here, made with rum, maraschino and grapefruit
Rigo IrizarryJuly 21, 2010Pretty good steak Tartare. Blue ribbons is way better. Do not get the lamb wrapped in Bacon, The sauce belongs on fish. Pinot noir was delicious
A GDecember 19, 2011Employees Only is one of those "hidden" bars. To find it, look in the dictionary under "colossal Bridge & Tunnel douchebag clusterfuck."
- Q EventsNovember 12, 2010Love the steak tartar and presentation is impressive. Lamb chop appetizer is delicious too!!
If you get a shot of Fernet from the guys behind the bar, you're a regular/family.

"Dim sum is unreal. Ideal meal is crab and pork soup dumplings, Katz pastrami egg roll, BBQ pork belly, and pan fried spicy pork buns. You'll pay twice the price of Chinatown and it'll be worth it."
Noah Weiss - 9.3
"#FabuLIST #DubiDO if I had to rank the pastas #1 spaghetti #2 garganelli, #3 pici, #4 bucatini. For appetizers get the ricotta special and roasted mushrooms. For wine we loved the Dezzi"
Chelsea Balkan - 8.4
"Most underrated brunch spot. You'll easily get a table 12-1. love the $5 champagne or breakfast negroni. Get Scottish eggs, waffle for the table and the kale salad (trust me on the salad)"
