    Outside

    Cute vibe inside with beautiful color accents and lots of space for large groups. The restaurant looks small from the outside, but actually has a second floor. We stopped by for Sunday brunch and were quickly seated near the bar. I was pleasantly surprised at how many vegan/vegetarian options they have. I ordered the vegetarian tacos. These were okay, but could have been better with more than a tiny slither of beans and perhaps plantains on the side because they were too big for the tortilla. Also, the portion size was so small. Still hungry after the two tiny tacos. Definitely order another appetizer or main dish. My friend also got a dish with an egg and felt it was small. Mimosas were standard. Staff were friendly. Convenient location near the Theater district. I'd come back to try the main dishes & skip small apps.

    The mighty wings were absolutely incredible! I wanted 10 orders of them, but attempted to have some self control. Our server was attentive and super helpful throughout the night! We enjoyed all of the gluten free options and how fresh the food was! The restaurant was also so aesthetically pleasing! The ambiance was amazing and we will definitely be back!

    Vegetarian Impossible Burger

    My cousin and I made reservations after work. Upon arrival, we were notified that our reservations for the lounge were changed due to a private event, we were seated in the dining room. The ambiance was nice and the bar was cute. I ordered the Vegetarian Impossible Burger, Vegan Roasted Cauliflower (no pic), Vegan Guac and Chips, Cucumber Gin and Tonic and a Mojito. The guac and chips were very tasty, the burger was decent and the cauliflower is not something I would order again. The drinks were not good and I tried 3 different types to see if it made a difference, it did not.

    Quinoa kale salad with surf n turf burrito

    Ambiance is pretty cool. But not what I expected. For having a Latin flare on food, I expected to have some Spanish music playing in the background. Not the case at all, was top 40 mainstream English music. The food was actually quite delicious though! I ordered the Surf n turf burrito that came with a quinoa kale salad on the side. Again, not what I expected especially on the side of a burrito but it was good. The shrimp was fresh and not overcooked and the creamy sauce was very tasty. Now as far as the drink goes, do NOT order the mojito. It is a cardinal sin to not mull the mint and only have it as a garnish on the rim. It was just a simple mixed drink and did not have any sugarcane in it, either. Would not recommend at all. But, of course, I finished it. Otherwise that would be alcohol abuse. So, bottom line... delicious food, fast, and clean.

    Cute place, good service, but the food was a little disappointing. I had the vegetarian tacos, and I found the plantain too sweet and too large putting acidic balance way off. The other elements the plantain were tasty. Would have been better with more avocado vs the plantain. My partner had some kind of a rap, and while it was decent food, it was not exceptional

    You ever eat somewhere so cool, you really don't want to share it because it might ruin it? That's how I feel about this place. I came here for a solo dinner and just enjoyed the calm and cool vibe that exudes in the space. From the lighting to the decor and the staff, the mood is just right. The servers are nice but don't crowd you -they will offer recommendations if asked, but it's up to you to take them. I did go with their recommendation for the burrito and it was good along with the side salad (which had just a tad too much dressing). Now, let's talk about my drink. It's called an Adult Capri Sun - but they were able to make a spirit-free version for me. The fact that it came in a pouch and then had ice cubes that lit up was again just one of those factors that make you think - wow, I like this place. Come but only if you can appreciate what this place has to offer - food and a nice respite away from the bustle of Times Square.

    Beef Brisket Pho'
    Gabriella D.

    Great vibe inside. Quiet and easy to talk. Nicely decorated and they even have the little cat robot server carts. Unfortunately the food itself is pretty mediocre and it's also very unclear as to what their specialty/focus is because the menu items are all over the place. We tried the Pho, which was very bland, and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich. Given the quality of other places in the area, I'd say I wouldn't recommend.

    Chicken Fajitas
    Daniel B.

    Stopped in for dinner before a show, and Carla first and foremost did that right - quick service, quick turnaround, and no worries about having to rush. The guacamole was tasty as a starter, and the frozen pina colada hit the right spot on a hot summer day. I had the chicken fajitas which were so delicious and cooked to perfection - plus a TON of food. My girlfriend had the surf and turf burrito and while she appreciated it didn't have much "filler" the texture was a bit mushy without the rice/beans you'd expect. The refills on water were always flowing without needing to ask. Wonderful spot right near the theaters.

    Pescado Taco (2pc)
    Christine M.

    Loved the vibes at Carla--great energy, stylish décor, and an atmosphere that feels both chic and relaxed. The drinks were spot-on and perfectly crafted. We started with the chips and guac (a must), then had the Pescado Tacos, which were super flavorful and fresh. Service was friendly and attentive. A perfect pre-Broadway stop--highly recommend.

    Eclectic menu with Latin, Asian, and American entrées! I'm officially obsessed with their vegan kale quinoa salad - add the chicken for $8. The tomatillo lime vinaigrette is so good. I'm trying to replicate this dish at home. Guacamole as a starter was great as well. Everyone else at the table had sandwiches and everyone seemed to rave. All the cocktails we had were delicious. The bartender was so friendly. Great happy hour at the bar. They even have a robot delivering desserts to pe

    Talia W.

    This food is amazing the chicken enchiladas tasted so delicious and the candeliers are so sparkly and shine like diamonds

    Adult capri sun

    Really tasty option with good flavors and plenty of vegan options. Loved the cauliflower, sweet potato fries. The kale and mushroom quesadilla was good. Highlight may have been the adult capri sun! So delicious and fun.

Both failed epically. The bone marrow was inedible as it was like cold custard. Escargot had zero flavor and a real lack of garlic and good butter. Tasted more like vegetable oil than good butter. We shared the lobster pasta entree. Tasted more like Mexican goulash. No Italian flavors to be found in the sauce. Never once did the nameless waiter stop and inquire about our meal. Just all around a poor experience and a disappointing Friday night. There are far better places that appreciate your patronage. We will not be coming back. Not worth it.

The DJ was underwhelming and the bathroom was vile. The most pleasant part was the below average $20 drinks. For an expensive, well-known spot, this was a very poor experience. Couldn't pay me to return.

The front part where you first walk in is the bar area with some tables. This restaurant is on the darker side and brings you back in time. Once you walk in further that is where the main dinning room is. This is also on the darker side as you can maybe tell by my photos. The wall paper and art around the restaurant is cool and there are some monkey statues around the restaurant. I was seated in a corner table in a booth area that seemed to be for at least 2-3 people. I thought for sure they would seat me at the bar area. I had a wonderful waitress whose name I think was Taylor but I could be wrong. I ordered the Monkey bread to start off with. It's a very buttery bread with truffle and parm cheese on top. I have alot of allergies and I was searching online if I could even have truffles as I have a nut allergy. So, I asked the waitress and she said she had never heard this. But, she came back to me and told me that White truffle grows near or like over where Almonds grow from but that, they don't use white truffle so I was all good. Well, this was super nice of her to check for me. I had no idea she was going to do this. She said the restaurant has strict protocols when it comes to food allergies. I then got for my main dish the double cheese burger with onions and pickles. To drink I had the cucumber martini. WOW everything was pretty darn good!! I passed on dessert. If you get a chance or a reservation pops up in your resy to go, even if it is for lunch..I highly say go for it.

Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.

It was supposed to be a memorable milestone, but it turned out to be a massive, incredibly disappointing letdown. The issues began the moment we arrived. The host stand claimed I hadn't booked afternoon tea and had only reserved a standard table in the hotel bar. This was completely false, and I had to pull out my phone to show them both my text and email confirmations. Rather than apologizing, they offered absolutely no accommodation for their mistake until I actively asked for it. Their excuse? They claimed this "has happened before" with their reservation platform--an embarrassing admission for a luxury establishment. Next, they told us they were entirely out of tea sandwiches. I had to ask them to double-check. When the host returned, they magically found the sandwiches but claimed the tea room was completely full. We were instead shoved into a cramped bar corner right next to the service door, the cashier stand, and the station where the bar staff collected all the dirty dishes. To add insult to injury, when I walked past the actual tea room an hour later, it was two-thirds empty. The service itself was nonexistent. Our tea was abruptly plopped onto the table by a bar staffer who didn't say a single word and left. Thirty minutes later, the sandwiches were plopped down in the exact same dismissive manner, without any explanation of what was being served. I eventually had to ask the hostess for information, and she retrieved a tea room staff member to explain the menu. After that brief interaction, we received absolutely no other service except for water. To top it all off, management clearly does not care that our experience was so bad. The manager kept using the dismissive, canned phrase: "I'm sorry that your experience wasn't what you expected." I had to correct him more than once--this wasn't a matter of unmet "expectations," it was a matter of not getting what I paid for. I paid $433.00 for a premium afternoon tea experience and received bottom-tier service in a noisy dish-clearing corner. If The Whitby Hotel cannot handle basic hospitality, reservation logistics, or genuine customer service, they shouldn't offer afternoon tea at all. Avoid this place if you are looking to celebrate a special milestone.

Their entire operation seemed so incredibly focused, meticulous, and inspiring that we knew we had to try it. We started with the Iberico ham and the hiramasa tart, both incredible. Then came the chilled lobster, which was super fresh and refreshing, served with an amazing sauce that made me want to lick the plate clean. Every dish felt refined without being overly complicated. The service was extraordinary. You can immediately tell the front-of-house team is operating at an extremely high level and is aware of everything happening in the room at all times. At one point, my wife stepped away to use the restroom just as they were about to serve the first course. Without saying a word or making anything awkward, the staff simply looped around a couple of times until she returned. The moment she sat down, they resumed service seamlessly without missing a beat. That level of awareness and professionalism really stood out to us. Next came the rye bread, which was fresh and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, paired with delicious butter. Then we had the sea bass with crab, which was phenomenal and one of my favorite dishes of the night. But the true star of the show for me was the lamb. My wife and I grill lamb racks often, and I genuinely had no idea this level of perfection existed. It was cooked flawlessly, and the sauce was absolutely incredible. If I was not in public, I probably would have been scraping the bone clean :) Big shoutout to one of the staff members, Stephanie, who completely made our night. We were telling her how excited we were to finally visit after watching the Bon Appétit video, and she casually asked if we wanted a tour of the kitchen after dinner. Honestly, I thought she was joking at first. Then she came back after dessert and reminded us. Even after paying the bill, I still thought maybe she was kidding, but then she walked over smiling and said, "Let's go." My wife and I were completely geeked out. Seeing the kitchen in person was surreal. It was exactly like the video: super meticulous, orders being called out and repeated in unison, everyone moving with total precision and purpose. You could see the Omega clock, the Michelin stars on the wall, and just the overall culture of excellence behind everything they do. We were honestly in awe. Thank you again, Stephanie. That experience meant so much to us. Every time we visit a fine dining restaurant for a special occasion, I always wonder whether it will truly live up to the hype. Some completely miss the mark. Some are very good. But none have delivered on every aspect the way The Modern did. This is officially our favorite restaurant in the world.

They did however seat us at a table that was directly in the way of a lot of movement through the restaurant. Many waiters found themselves squeezing between our table and another to attend to other tables. Some were carrying very heavy looking trays. Beyond that, we had a blast. We ordered the butter service, which was super fun! The waiters make a whole show of it, seasoning the butter at the table, talking it up a bit, and then allowing us to go to town. The added shallots on top bring an extra hit of umami. The chorizo spread was a little grainy for me, but others at the table were going for seconds and thirds. I especially enjoyed the marinated leeks and the eggplant dip it was also served with. Our entrees were a little underwhelming. We ordered the lobster frites and the french onion soup burger. The burger wasn't overtly French oniony. It was just a solidly good burger. The lobster was delicious, but not anything I am continuing to think about. What I am still thinking about though, are the creme brulees! We ordered the corn creme brulee for a side. It was sweet and salty, with a great crack and chew to the top. I also loved the espresso creme brulee for dessert, which also had a nice light saltiness to it. We also got the spicy orange carrots which were totally delicious. In addition to the espresso creme brulee, we also ordered the lemon ice cream cake. It was bright and refreshing. The only downsides were the wait for the desserts. The wait was so long that our waiter insisted that they would be comped for our inconvenience. However, they were still on the bill at the end of the meal. He did remove them immediately when we pointed them out, though. And finally, coat check accidentally gave our Mother's Day bouquet of flowers to the wrong mom! We wound up with a much prettier bunch, but lost our balloon as part of the switch. Oh well! Next time, we'll definitely be ordering the brulees and I'll be damned if I leave without having their french onion soup!

    I am writing to share some constructive feedback regarding a recent dinner at Quality Bistro…read more Having been a loyal patron of Quality Meats and Quality Italian for many years, I was eager to experience your take on the French bistro concept. While there were highlights to the evening, several aspects of the experience did not meet the high standards I have come to associate with the Quality Branded family. First, I must address a significant comfort issue two weeks ago. Our group was seated in one of the large booths, and we found that the cushions were so soft that we sank down uncomfortably low. It was quite awkward to dine when several guests could barely see over the top of the table. For a restaurant of this caliber, guest ergonomics are essential, and I would strongly encourage looking into firmer seating support for those booths. Regarding the menu, we found the oysters to be a bit of a letdown for the $5 price point. The citrus toppings were so heavy-handed that they completely overwhelmed the natural flavor of the oyster. Additionally, as a long-time fan of Quality Meats, I found the steak to be lacking in both presentation and precise execution. I had hoped for a dish that mirrored the excellence of your sister properties, but this fell short of expectations. On a more positive note, your staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. We also thoroughly enjoyed the bread and butter cart; the butter was truly lovely and stands up well against international varieties I have tried. Furthermore, your desserts are stunning and were the highlight of our meal. I share this because I truly enjoy your restaurant group and would love to see Quality Bistro refine these details to match the world-class experience of your other locations and competitive locations in the neighborhood. I look forward to returning in the future to see how the space evolves.
