Celebrity caricatures line the walls at this iconic Theater District restaurant, where a legendary past is served with a side of Broadway lore--and a damn good martini. Read more

Traditional, old-school yet still cool. It’s a place you should try at least once. Come for a pre-theater cocktail and club sandwich. The bartenders are the best!

Love the classic ny vibe. Great cannelloni, pesto lasagna, and cheesecake. Also the strawberry dessert at top menu is like a whip cream cake!

People is nice and it's a legendary place. Worth it.
Edward DelfinoOctober 12, 2018
I loved these cannelloni for the past 30 years--came back and still great! Cheesecake was great too!
Baz ColemanApril 13, 2017
Absolutely terrible. Terrible food, worse service. Insane prices. The pictured chitty chitty Caesar salad was $25 and took OVER AN HOUR to come out at 9pm on a Wednesday in a totally empty restaurant.

Squeeze up to the bar upstairs for a cocktail and light bites. Order a Manhattan and enjoy the theater crowd.

Food was delish, bar upstairs was rly chill too , was there a few days after christmas and it was a great vibe

Make sure to let your server know if you're seeing a show, what time you need to leave, and where the theater is :-) I promise they will accommodate you. AND enjoy your meal

The walls are crowded with celebrity caricatures, which are fun to survey while enjoying a cocktail or a dessert. Read more

Service and food was awesome! Quiet meal away from the craziness of Time Square!

Classic New York spot. Grab a drink at the upstairs bar in between shows and relish a retro experience.

Upstairs bar is one of the best spots to grab a drink in midtown.

The cannelloni is a signature dish here. Wonderful flavor, and one of the most popular items on the menu since 1927.

Head upstairs for a cocktail before or after a show, or to just get away from the Times Square madness.
Donna GowApril 24, 2014
Fabulous beef cannelloni! Martinis are amazing! Will definitely be back on my next theatre foray
Gerome SamonteMarch 2, 2014
Get the eugena room for parties!! You can't go wrong. Great food and drinks. Plus celebrity canvas all over the walls!
Abiola AbramsJune 21, 2013
The spinach cannoli is delicious ! Not vegan friendly but delicious... :-)

If you want to see Jose the bartender extraordinaire and Little Bar fixture, come on Wednesday or Saturday or both!

Ask for the cheese and crackers upstairs at the bar for the real experience
Valerie RussoNovember 2, 2013
Surprisingly no wait and not too bad on the wallet for a Friday night dinner in the theater district. Food and service was exceptional
BetsyAugust 21, 2019
Bartender does a great cosmopolitan with a perfect pour, at $15 per drink.

A New York institution. Try a cocktail here at least once in your life!
Brian PateJuly 28, 2013
Went there for my birthday with my family & was disappointed. Chicken tasted like a Goodyear tire and the pasta was "eh." Service was okay but not good. Lots of tradition but not what it used to be.
Andy WangFebruary 24, 2019
Great to see Broadway legends immortalized in drawings. Food is meh at best. Go during lunch when there is no crowd
JamesMay 11, 2013
Great spot for old school Broadway feel. Go after shows start and the place clears out.
Tina LenderAugust 11, 2014
Get the crackers and cheese, even if it IS refrigerated in little crocks now.
Allegra LaganiFebruary 24, 2012
If the upstairs bar is too crowded, try the little bar--to the left when you enter. And keep your eyes peeled for celebs.

Listen carefully, and you'll hear the echoes of conversations between producers and actors of a bygone era. Listen !

A classic stop after a show for a cocktail.
sara garridoMay 9, 2014
Overrated. 25$ for 2 standard caneloni is not worth it. Tiramisu was weird. I expected more for the food. The place has a good retro atmosphere and good service.
Will GarréMarch 10, 2012
Basic spaghetti dish is good. Cheesecake delicious. Some dude just walked in with an astounding fur coat.
MAMMA MIA!January 21, 2012
Since you're so close to the Winter Garden Theatre (50th & Broadway), catch a performance of MAMMA MIA, now 11 years on Broadway. For best availability, try a 2pm Saturday or Sunday matinee.
Andy HDecember 8, 2013
Service sucks in a major way, but maître d was very cool to seat us over an hour early. The spinach cannelloni was delicious.

You must ask for Alex's table when u go to Sardis. Crab cakes Devine

Loved their cannelloni and the friendly waiters.

The coolest, kitchiest cocktail bar in the Theater District. Great for after-theater Baked Alaska

Amazing cananolli. Great atmosphere and food. Great ny institution

Always fun. Quick. Good food. Before a show.

What’s not to like. Great food and attentive service.

They had James Galdolfini's portrait in a place of honor, may he rest in peace.
Kathryn PhillipsFebruary 26, 2015
A cup of after dinner coffee is worth it here! Really good coffee

"Heywood Broun...was a member of Sardi's "Cheese Club," a group of journalists, critics and agents including Walter Winchell, Ward Morehouse and Ring Lardner." (via @ShelfAwareness)
Craig WalshJanuary 19, 2012
My chicken curry had the goopy consistency of a frozen dinner or (bad) airline food. Indifferent service in a somewhat threadbare restaurant resting on past laurels.

Can't miss on anything
Adam BaumelOctober 13, 2013
The salmon was excellent with the parsley mashed potatoes
James SimsAugust 16, 2011
Classic Broadway joint. Menu might be pricey, but try stopping in for a drink before a show.

Shrimp and crabmeat salad

Ask to get sauce (like teriyaki) with your vegetable basket if you're vegetarian
