Everything was delicious here and service was excellent. Will definitely be a must do next visit to the city.

Way overpriced for the quality of the food and the service. Hadn't been in years since we moved from Hells Kitchen and UWS to the suburbs but went on 12/29 before a Broadway show and the whole experience was very underwhelming to say the least. We should have known something was off when the person who greeted us at the front door and seated us was also our waiter. Both apps we had (yellowtail sashimi and scallops) lacked flavor/seasoning and the mains (short rib and Halibut) were fine at best. expect more from a place charging in excess of $50 per entree. So many better options in the city/area for people looking for a good meal, nice date spot, or a bite before a show. read more

A bit pricey but easy to get a table. They give warm muffins to start which was nice. The Benedict I got was good but nothing special read more

Another 10/10 experience! The staff here is seriously so kind. Their hostess runs the restaurant like the navy, while also being incredibly bubbly and kind. Their manager was on the floor helping with everything. Bar and serving staff was super kind. Tonight I had the quesadilla from the starter menu and it was perfect! read more

If you want a gay brunch vibe in the gayborhood, this is your place! A fun crowd, especially energetic on a warm day with outdoor seating. Food is solid here, but it's really about the scene. Muffins: A freebie for the table, to get your appetite going. Love how they're so petit, so you can munch one or two, without spoiling your meal. A few blueberries to make it really tasty. Eggs Benedict: A classic brunch choice. Executed just right with a runny poached egg, slightly crisp English muffin bottom and thick meaty Canadian ham. Just enough hollandaise sauce to complement, without overwhelming. The home fries were ok, but not the most exciting potato option. Could have been a little crisper. read more

Solid brunch spot near broadway. Went for a galentines brunch before moulin rouge. Only an 8 minute walk to the theater. So the location is great! Food was also decent. They leave little muffins for the table which is nice. I got the crab Benedict - pretty good. We got a French toast for the table which was also good. I will say I think they over syrup the sweet dishes. My friend ordered pancakes and they put a lot of syrup on it (including on her side of bacon). Let people decide how sweet they want their pancakes and French toast. Service was just okay. Not super friendly. Cute vibe. read more

Solid 4. Short version: Food: 5 Service: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Facility: 2, maybe 3 Here's the breakdown - A neighborhood gem in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, 44 & x has been around a while. An upscale, American restaurant, they pride themselves on "reinventing American classics," and to that, their menu is solid whether you come for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Price points are higher than average, and the service and food are aligned with the price point so the value is present. On a recent visit, we sat outside for dinner and brought out-of-town family with us. With impeccable service, we ordered a few drinks, appetizers, dinner, and dessert. The "Tequila for Elephants" cocktail, a blood orange-grapefruit margarita was a favorite, and the mezcal-mango based "Smokewood" cocktail was also good too. They also have a solid wine list. For an appetizer, we got the goat cheese and pistachio soufflé , made well and with balanced flavors, we practically licked the plate clean. (Okay, not really) For entrees, we really enjoyed the ancho chili rubbed pork tenderloin and the sautéed halibut, which was served with vegetables in a medeira emulsion. The fallen chocolate soufflé dessert was the perfect ending to the meal , satisfying that want for a little sweetness balanced out with a Tahitian vanilla gelato. Presentation of tableware, service points, and food were all great, too, however, the overall restaurant could use a little love as it's dated and showing its age for such an upscale and elegant place. If they were to invest in the space as much as they invest into the food and service, it would easily be a 5 star experience. read more

44 & X is a Hell's Kitchen staple! I've been here countless times over the years and never had a bad experience. The staff is always so kind (and good looking) and the food always delicious. They are just so consistent. Love that they still wear the fun Heaven and Hell t-shirts! Since I've been here many times over the years, I knew when we arrived we were being greeted by the owner Scott, who is a total gentleman (and pretty funny). He kindly welcomed us in and sat us at our table for 5. The waiter promptly came over to take orders and was great all evening checking on our needs. If I see short ribs on a menu, I get them. Here they were perfect - tender, juicy, and falling apart. It was served over a bed of smoked gouda mashed potatoes. I could have had a second serving despite being so full because it was that good. One friend had the same as me. There were also 2 steak frites and one filet mignon. Everyone loved their food. I had the Sancerre Les Cailottes which was superb. I will also reference a visit here this past summer where I almost ordered the short ribs, but the waiter said if you always order that get something else, so I tried the pork tenderloin with goat cheese polenta and apricot chutney. If they have that on the menu when you go, it is just as delicious and I would recommend it as well. I live nearby and everytime I walk past at brunch or dinner time they are always packed which is a testament to their reputation after all these years! They also have a side door where you can see into the kitchen and I love to stop and watch the cooks do their thing. Its amazing what they can crank out in such a small space. Side note - they had a sister restaurant down the block 44 1/2 which I still miss to this day!!!! read more

One of our favorite restaurants in NYC. We were heartbroken to hear that they were closing and elated to see that they did not. It is always a wonderful experience. The dining room is nice but casual enough to be relaxed. The service is always first rate and the food never disappoints. We look forward to it every time we are in NYC.. read more

What a great spot. The service was friendly and well versed in the menu. He had great recommendations. If you love broadway shows, the drink menu is even more fun. The raviolo is a must. It is creative and tasty. The crab fritter was not what we expected but was still tasty. I am not sure if the tomato's and spices were as complimentary to the dish as it could have been. The steak was a little overdone but the salad and fries were solid. The sea bass was not crispy but the veggies and sauce made up for it. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend. The interior decor was beautiful and elegant. There was a sleek, fancy vibe to the place. Also, the restrooms were so pretty, lit up in hot pink with candle lights and pink roses all around. I ordered the Pistachio crusted Tilapia, served with roasted sweet potatoes, caramelized brussel sprouts, zucchini, shiitake mushroom, topped with Maine lobster jumbo crab ravioli. The size of the Tilapia was generous with a tasty delicate and nutty pistachio crust. The fish was tender, flaky, and well seasoned. The ravioli was perfectly cooked with plenty of flavorful lobster crab filling. The vegetable medley was fresh and soft. All of this was in a creamy, rich sauce. My friend had the Rack of Lamb crusted with sweet potato and hazelnut. This came with wild mushroom, artichoke gratin, and grilled asparagus. I really enjoyed this, as the lamb was wonderfully succulent, juicy, and slightly crispy on the edges. The sauce was savory and full of flavor pan juices. For dessert, we shared housemade cookies and petits fours. There were 2 of each, so it worked well. We started with the Strawberry Macaron, which was fruity and had a nice chewy consistency, but tasted more like raspberry. Next, we tried the Pistachio and Apricot Cake, which was similar to marzipan and satisfyingly sweet. The Chocolate Crunch Cupcake was rich, deeply chocolate-y, while the frosting was velvety and simply delightful. We had the Lemon Curd Tartlet last, which was light and refreshing with a yummy crunchy crust. Service was wonderful. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, as well as knowledgeable about the menu. Prices are a little on the higher end. I was sad that it had just changed to Spring, because they no longer had the Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert. I would like to return to try the Short Rib, Breast of Duck and hopefully Sticky Toffee Pudding will make a comeback. read more

Went for dinner and this time was very impressed with both food and service! The restaurant was super accommodating to our accessibility needs and didn't blink an eye when friends who had told us they weren't coming started showing up out of nowhere and joining our table. Super laid back for an upscale place, super appreciated. My sea bass, recommended by lovely waiter Jose, was phenomenal. My friends were also very happy with their meals. I think dinner is stronger than brunch here. Lots of seating outdoors including a ramped and heated cabana in the street. read more

44 & X Hell's Kitchen - Sea bass - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Solid brunch spot, especially for a large group in Manhattan. I've dined at 44 & X a few times, each time had been with a table of 6-10. Each time it's seemed like there was at least one other table of the same size. I think they do a great job at accommodating larger tables, even on pretty short notice. I only took photos of my husband's food and my own to not disrupt my fellow diners but the full table enjoyed their food. My husband got the Vermont cheddar greens with fresh herb eggs with sausage. I got the scrambled eggs with mushrooms, bacon and potatoes. Everything tasted very fresh with quality ingredients. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the berries were sweet despite having them in January. read more

I ate dinner here solo a week or so back. I started with the Hamachi Sashimi. Overall it was good, but the flavor of the blood oranges was overpowering and it masked the fish. As an entree I ordered the Chicken & Waffle. It was decent, for the North I guess, and a bit small, but again, the dish wasn't balanced particularly well as the maple syrup jus was very strong. I did like the side of collards though, I think that should be a requirement for chicken and waffles anywhere that serves it. I didn't get dessert but I did order a Port to finish off the meal and the bartender filled a normal wine glass. Not sure if that's normal here, or if he made a mistake, but it was a very generous pour... The rating of is partially due to the tacky shirts the staff was wearing, just because you're in Hell's Kitchen doesn't mean everything needs to say Heaven & Hell on it, but mostly the incredibly slow service from a waiter who didn't seem to care very much. He looked annoyed every time he came to my table. read more

Fantastic Saturday brunch with family while in NYC. Our reservation was for 11 am and it was not very crowded upon arrival but the inside and patio quickly filled quickly. Water with lemon slices was promptly served along with warm mini muffins that were delicious. The seemed to be raspberry and walnut served with butter and variety of jams. My mimosa was a perfect ratio of Prosecco and not too much orange juice. Our group ordered a variety of brunch omelettes, French toast and roasted chicken quesadillas. Everything was plated in a very appealing way. All of us enjoyed our entrees thoroughly. Definitely would recommend and come back again. Service and ambience were impeccable read more

44 & X can best described as New American Cuisine. What first caught my attention were the brown T-shirts that the servers wore. The front says "Heaven" while the back reads "Hell." Pretty funny, yet appropriate as they're right on the corner of 44th Street and 10th Avenue right in the middle of Hell's Kitchen. It' was a party of 6, unfortunately our group couldn't be seated indoors when there was already a reservation for 6 at the same time. Our group was the only ones dining outside and it was extremely hot and uncomfortable being fanned with hot recycled outdoor air. I will say, I love the ambiance and decor both indoors and outdoors, for sure next time I will want to be seated inside. For my first time here, I was previously recommended by a local to try out this place for dinner as it's really popular and a must try. My work colleague had also suggested we all meet up this past Wednesday afternoon for early dinner. If you're familiar with Broadway Shows, their cocktail menu has references to popular musicals that are in season or popular shows from the past. They also change their food menu seasonally, so you may or may not have the same dish twice. I ordered something that I usually like to eat, For starters, I picked their roast chicken quesadilla with pico de gallo and avocado relish. Another person in the group also ordered the same. For my main, I ordered the pan seared filet mignon with potatoes au gratin. Me and the others in the group was surprised by the size of my filet mignon! For what I picked, both were really good! The portion size was very large, I didn't eat my carrots, nor did I eat all of the potatoes, much so I could have had leftover vegetables to take home. Javier was our server, he was pretty darn good at what he does here. While the entire menu both drinks and food menu looks good, I'm already interested in coming back to try out more. None of us got dessert because we were all full. It's always a scene here in Hell's Kitchen. Dressing up is optional, but if you want to impress your friends and dinner company, why not? read more

There is a lot of potential here. It's a great space and the menu was very enticing. Everything sounded amazing. We also had great service. I appreciated some of the little touches. For instance, the basket of mini muffins prior to our meal. We didn't order drinks but the tables around us did dnd they look nice. I ordered coffee and our waiter continued to refill to without prompting (always appreciated) The food itself looked great but the taste were lacking. I ordered the Eggs Royal (basically a lox Benedict) with roasted potatoes. There was a lack of flavor and seasoning. It was beautiful but bland. However, my eggs were perfectly cooked (jammy) My husband had the herbed eggs and cheesy grits. The eggs were under seasoned. And tough. No fluffiness. The grits didn't feel cohesive. The cheese was just melted on top in a slab. read more

Gayle and I recently got together with her friend Glenn who lives in NYC, but worked with her at the Contra Costa Times several years ago. She hadn't seen her Jewish friend for years, but soon after we sat down outside at 44 & X Hell's Kitchen, they easily picked up where they left off. We met for what turned out to more like a Happy Hour before Glenn and a out-of-town friend of his headed over to see a revival performance of "Little Shop of Horrors". The cocktail menu was clever, featuring names taken from famous shows. I enjoyed my Tequila Mockingbird, while Ginberly Akiimbo and Shucked-Up were also ordered. Service was friendly and attentive and as maybe a couple hours effortless flowed by, other delicious food (Hamachi Sashimi, Goat Cheese Souffle, Roasted Chicken Quesadilla, a Starter Special and finally the 44&X Cookie Plate) came and disappeared. It was a fun evening out. The only downside was that we walked with Glenn and his friend over to the Theater to see if we could get tickets, but unfortunately they were sold out. Maybe and annual Theater trip to New York is an idea we need to explore to remedy this bit of disappointment? At the same time, the big highlight for me that evening was Glenn turning to me saying: Are you Jewish? You have this Aura about you that way! I was thrilled, while Gayle was stunned! The background here is that I'm a convert (since 1980) and over the 18 (Chai) years I've known Gayle, I've heard "You're not really Jewish" from her way all too often. Maybe so in Orthodox eyes, but I'll gladly insight like this any time! read more

had heard good things about this place from a colleague, but it didnt meet my expectation. maybe it's a brunch menu, but i was not impressed with the food offered. The staffs are really friendly, but we sat at the patio there are homeless walked by begging for food, the staffs were just standing right next to our table not doing anything. I have to admit that they do have really cute drink menu with broadway name twist. and pretty big selection of brunch. I tried their crab cake dish, and the crab cake was disappointing. does not have chunks of crab, instead, more flour inside , and it only came with one medium size crab cake which is about the size of the egg, most of the plate only just filled up with potatoes for $27. I dont see the value of it. read more

We had an AMAZING dinner here. First off, the staff couldn't possibly be more friendly and welcoming. We had theatre tickets and the staff was so accommodating to us.

I went for dinner with my daughter tonite. Her salmon was fishy with a bad aftertaste. I tasted it. It wasn't edible. They refused to give her another dish even though she only picked at it. I asked to see the manager and they said no. That was their policy. They charged us full price with no compromise. I will nit be going back. Over $90 for 1 piece of chicken and mash and some bad salmon and lettuce. Yuk! read more

We spent the first half of our meal pondering what "44 & X" meant, only for one person in my family to realize that it was "44th and Tenth", as in the intersection that this place is located at. THEN we were like "why do their shirts say hell on one side and heaven on the other" and I was like IT'S BECAUSE IT'S HEAVEN IN HELL'S KITCHEN. Anyway, that's just in case you, too, were wondering. My family came here for Mother's Day brunch, and we were super lucky to be seated. The space is really beautiful and open and the natural light comes in in a way that makes you feel like you're in this huge pavilion. The food is for sure on the pricier side, but I went with the french toast which came to $18 (definitely one of the more reasonable numbers on the menu). What I liked about the toast was that it was a generous portion AND it came with ham. I'm the type of person who likes to balance the sweet with the salty, and usually that means I have to order eggs or something on the side, but in this case I didn't! I should mention though that the ham tasted stale. The toast itself was surprisingly airy but still rich. However, I like choice. I love syrup but I love choice. I think they put the syrup on for the sake of presentation, but because they put so much of it on, it was able to seep into the toast and make it entirely too sweet (and not to mention soggy) for me. Big fan of the space itself, but not sure if I'd actively recommend going to brunch here. read more

Met some friends here for a Sunday brunch before seeing a show. It's a nice place and very lively. I liked the decor and the layout. It wasn't too crowded when we got there but it was packed when we left and it was loud. We were seated quickly at our reservation time and took a quick look at the menu. The service was very efficient but I wouldn't say it was warm. The food came out quickly....we arrived at 12:28 and were seated at 12:30 and we had the food on our table at 12:41. Like I said... it is very quick! I had the crab cake, which was just okay. It was very bread-y. I would have been fine if it had been smaller but more crabby. Poached eggs were great. Also, they brought a basket of muffins and those were tasty. We were finished before 1:00 and got the bill and paid and were out of there shortly afterwards. Overall it was a decent experience and the food was fine but it felt a bit like being on an assembly line. If there was more of an "experience" I would rate this higher but it was a very impersonal dining situation. read more

My daughter and I had a pre theater dinner here on a Saturday night. Even at 5 pm, it was busy and just continued to fill as the night went on. Every table was full and as soon as one group left, another took their spot. It is beautiful designed. Simple, yet elegant. The tables are REALLY close to each other, as is common in NYC, but you almost feel like you are on a double date with the table next to you. You can chose to pretend you don't hear each others conversations, or engage with each other. We tried a little bit of both. Our waiter, I want to say Mark (I'm so sorry if I got it wrong), was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Even as busy as he was. The food was superb. Maybe our best meal in NYC this trip! The soup of the day - a version of Cream of Asparagus and celery with some shell fish was amazing! It took all my self control to not pick up the bowl and lick it clean. I had the halibut which was perfect! My daughter had the pan seared filet which was also perfect. The desserts - a flourless chocolate cake and my daughter's 4x4 was to die for. Honestly, there was nothing bad or even subpar. I will definitely be recommending 44 & X to people looking for a great meal in midtown area! read more

Business dinner and we arrived at 6:50 for a 6:45 reservation. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside on the patio, which was excellent. The service was EXTREMELY slow. It took about 25 minutes for our drinks order to be taken. Then another 15 for the drinks to come. When they came we ordered some appetizers. Being vegan, there was pretty much nothing on the menu I could eat. Though the waiter made a notation, nothing was offered as an option for an entree. The group ordered for appetizers Terrine of Roasted Beets and Goat Cheese, Goat Cheese and Pistachio Soufflé, Raviolo of Maine Lobster, Maryland Crab Meat. They all said it was delicious after the 20 minute wait. Next for entrée, the orders were Buttermilk Fried Chicken, a Salmon special, Grilled Braised Short Ribs, Blue Crab Fritter (appetizer), and I got the Chopped Mediterranean Salad. Everyone devoured their food saying each of them was excellent. My salad came out and it was not what I was expecting. Mostly cucumbers that were cubed with onions and olives. The dressing was bland, and I like bland, but was expecting a bit more. I ate half and my colleague at the other half. I cannot say I will go back for that. For dessert I had the apple pie but cold and with no ice cream and it was good. the others shared the pumpkin brioche bread pudding saying it was very rich but good. I give it only 3 stars because the service was extremely slow, he outdoor seating could be more comfortable with better furniture and, mostly, in this day and age, a restaurant should have vegetarian/vegan choices so that everyone can enjoy the experience. read more

Yum! Such a pretty and quiet atmosphere and food was delicious! Love the abundance of fresh veggies added to every dish. I had the Lobster taco and the sole - I recommend both!

Definitely a cute place, and the food was delicious. We ordered the mahi-mahi, sea-bass, scallops, Dover and the burger. Minus the burger all of our mains were great. The desserts were great too.

We had a WONDERFUL brunch here! It was just a few blocks from our hotel and we were lucky to get an outside table right at 11A when they opened. They were busy! They serve everyone some to die for small muffins to start. They were spectacular! I had an excellent spicy virgin Bloody Mary. I had the huevos rancheros but also ordered a side of potatoes to share. It was quite a bit larger than expected and I didn't manage to finish either. Their huevos is made with scrambled eggs but the waiter mentioned this in advance so I wouldn't be unsurprised. I'm not sure how they make their scrambled eggs but they were so fluffy and silky. It came with a lovely warm tortilla wrapped around a serving of perfect guacamole. My teen co-diner went for the burger but it was HUGE! It was served on an English muffin but the burger, muffin and toppings was so large she could barely take a bite out of it. The fries were super crispy and hot. The plates coming to neighboring tables made me wish I could come back a few more times! We finished it off with a perfectly made cappuccino. The inside was beautiful. If I came again I'd try for a reservation and a table inside. read more

I've heard 44 & x Hells Kitchen was a great brunch spot but I honestly thought it was OK. Went on a Saturday and had late brunch so not that many people were there because the kitchen closes at 3pm I think?
