Theater Steak
Jordan C.

I really enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant. It was already decorated for Christmas and I can tell closer to the holiday it will get even more festive and beautiful inside. We had a reservation secured before our show, and we ordered the steak and the salmon. Both were delicious. We started with the Burrata and fig arugula salad, which I managed to snap a photo of it only after half was gone, I would definitely order that again. The 10 ounce steak was a large portion and came with a peppercorn sauce on the side. It was delivered perfectly cooked to our liking. The salmon was also a good portion and truffle mashed potatoes. Yum. Roasted carrots were delicious and came on both of our plates. I would recommend the spot for a pre-dinner show because they do have a prefix theater menu and it's centrally located in Midtown to all of the theaters. I wish we would had room for dessert. Next time!

This is an extra large space that's great for groups. Me and my family came here after seeing a show on Broadway. We did not have reservations but since it wasn't crowded we was seated. The hostess was nice and I loved the 2piece she was wearing! We sat in the back but there is a full bar area also with good seating. There are a few places for a photo opts as well. The wait staff was pleasant and quick. There was no complaints about. Everything was delicious and cooked exactly like everyone like. The steaks were seasoned and tender. The shoestring fries were a touch over done for my taste. Thats 16layer cream cake was sooooo good very delicious and not too sweet. The churros also nice hot and fresh. The drinks were also good a nice balance of alcohol to chaser. Overall A+ I would come back!

We had reservations for lunch and enjoyed everything about it. The reservations were easy, the Christmas decorations were stunning and the food was delicious. I had the short ribs and it was great.

Walk in and get ready to OOOOOOO and AWEEEEE! The ambiance was stunning.... just jaw dropping! What a truly lovely place. Fun Fact: I danced with Lauren Bacall at my BFF'S wedding on top of the World Trade Center, Windows of the World, and we jammed to "Working at the Car Wash when she was 76 years old. Needless to say, I was so excited to come to this place which is a beautiful tribute to her. It didn't dissapoint. The waiters, bussers and hostess were sensational. The bussers stand nearby, with undivided attention, just waiting for your next need. The service was impeccable. They did not rush us. They were warm and friendly -- nothing snooty or uptight here. I loved the food - and the homemade pasta didn't disappoint. The chandeliers that we dined under made the evening magical. I loved how they delivered our check in an old book, printed in 1902! The place is done very creatively and their menu is as well. THE MUSIC creates the incredible vibe. WE LOVED every song, mostly beautiful sentimental oldies.... that warmed our hearts. The sign on their blue awning is a little hard to find, just look for the long line at Carmines, and this beautiful haunt is next door. I highly recommend that you try this little gem in the Theater District. It's very romantic!

Review during holidays!! I think the decor made it a worthwhile stop regardless of how hungry you are. Decor - 5/5! So much Christmas!! It was really beautifully done and completely over the top. We didn't get them ourselves but the festive drinks were really cute! Pricey but I definitely understand the fun. Food 3/5. Arancini was a 4/5, could have used more sauce and were pretty small. French onion soup 3/5, stale bread chunk and overall a very savory flavored soup, not the best I've had. Arrived not hot. Burger was a 4/5. Service 3/5. They were understaffed but overall the service was pretty slow and multiple items were left off our order and we had to ask twice for items like ketchup. Overall would return for the Christmas decor but wouldn't come starving & would have ordered less food.

Bacall's in the heart of Times Square is the perfect spot for after-work drinks during happy hour or dinner before catching a Broadway show! With so many dinner-and-a-show options in the city, Bacall's truly stands out as one of the best. Right now, the restaurant is fully decked out for the holiday season, which makes the experience even more festive. The food is amazing there's so many options but we have to highlight their charcuterie board (so delicious!) and the pasta, which tastes light and homemade. Whether you're looking for festive vibes, great food, or a convenient location for a pre-show meal it's perfect for the occasion.

This place is a total GEM! Literally the best rigatoni vodka I've had in the city and I eat a lot of pasta lol everything was incredible from our service to the drinks ! The decor inside is absolutely beautiful, and the drinks come in stunning containers, such as a margarita inside of a small, patron bottle ! We got the big bottle, totally worth it ! meatballs were tender & the wings were so so tasty! Loved the rib eye with the mashed potatoes as well and let's not forget dessert . Japanese soufflé cheesecake and 16 layer cream cake, amazing and delicious dishes

It took so much for me to get a reservation and I was so happy to secure one! Once I arrived at around noon on a Friday to find the place pretty empty. I was sat immediately upstairs and it took very long for my order to be taken, even for drinks. I decided to take pictures of all the decor after all that's what I came for and I was very impressed. Everything is beautifully decorated. Once my order was taken it also took a bit of time to come out. The salad was overly dressed to the point it was soggy, as if they made it in a big batch and let it sit. The fried chicken was cooked well it just wasn't seasoned enough, however the side of honey saved it but it definitely needed a sauce or seasoning. The fried were my favorite part of the entire meal! Cooked very well and crispy. The drinks were expensive and not good at all. The hot chocolate was made with water literally no cream or milk. The other drink had barely any liquor and was 20$ the whole meal was over 100$. Wasn't worth the food or service but the photos make it worth it

This place is absolutely stunning !! They have the most beautiful swing adorned with flowers that makes for the BEST photo op !! The food is soooooo good too the calamari was super crispy and perfectly cooked my absolute faveee!! It is truly at the top of my list of all time favorites

Passion fruit margarita
Toni B.

I went here after a play and had a great time!! Erica, the bartender, was amazing. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and her drinks were great. The drinks are a but pricey...but it just so happened I went during their 2 for 1 HH so it eased the pocket pain..lol. I was a bit surprised that my Moscow Mule wasn't served in the traditional copper mug, but it was still good. But, the Passionfruit Margarita was the star. I ordered the Bucharest pasta. It was delicious!! If you're looking for a nice restaurant to go to before or after hitting a play, go check them out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We ate here before a show. We had to eat super early so the place wasn't busy. We had to change reservation times because the cab was late but they accommodated no problem. The waitstaff was friendly and conversational. It was a new menu apparently and she admittedly didn't know much about it. The menu is rather small which makes it risky with picky teenagers. We all found something to eat. The food was brought out timely and we all enjoyed it. What stands out to me is how big the place was for being in such a prime location near Times Square. It was also decorated in a cool way. They had some picture taking spots in the restaurant. They even honored my Yelp checkin for a glass of Prosecco.

Nova Egg
Min Z.

An eclectic mix of vintage b/w photos, knickknacks, books, statuettes and miscellaneous historical items. Elaborate mirrored chandeliers, decorative swing, and dangling flowers. Background pop music was loud at first, but turnef down later. Service was nice. Prices were varied. As I checked in on Yelp, I got a complimentary drink! We had 3*glass of prosecco: nice sparkling wine; I think it was champagne 4.5*Lobster Stuffed Baked Trout Broccolini, Roasted Potatoes: tender and tasty, big portions but didn't feel stuffed. A bit greasy. 4*Nova Egg-Poached Egg, Smoked Salmon, Avocado, English Muffin: pretty good.

Bacall's is magnificent!! In the heart of the theater district, this interior is gorgeous and has such a great and cozy vibe that is perfect for any occasion! Every single sip and bite we had was insane and the service was actually impeccable. It was one of the best meal experiences I have had in NYC in a long time, and they just gained another regular! It's a no brainer to add to your NYC list.

Walked in on a Wednesday night around 8pm and my friend and I were seated almost immediately. We…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the new Aegean menu, which featured drinks inspired by countries by the Mediterranean Sea. It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. It's my favorite speakeasy in the city by far…read more The drinks are absolutely phenomenal. They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

One of my friends and I were looking to grab a drink before calling it a night. She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

I stopped by Clemente Bar with a friend who was staying at a nearby hotel. I had never been to…read moreEleven Madison Park before and wanted to check it out, not realizing at first that Clemente Bar is a separate concept from the restaurant. We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
