    Advertised lunch menu that wasn't honored
    Shelly S.

    I have had this establishment in my yelp NYC collection as a restaurant to try since Covid--it's been a long time. And what's funny is that I live right around the corner from it and pass it all the time, but have never really felt rushed to get here. It just so happens that today I had a day off and time to lollygag around my neighborhood. I had a light breakfast and decided to come here for lunch. I will say that my server, Antonio, was warm and fun to engage with--he offered A+ service. Upon ordering, I noticed that the menus differed from what was given to me vs. what I saw online, which honestly encouraged me to come in. I asked Antonio to consult with management to honor the pricing on the lunch menu that's advertised online, however management refused and said that it's an old menu. I was offered a cocktail, which I declined because I don't drink. I am not accustomed to an establishment not honoring what they advertise to a consumer/patron. So that was a turn off, but because this place was on my list, and along with the lunch menu that brought me in, I decided to stay. When I walked in, I shared with the server that my back was hurting me, and asked for a seat that was lower to the ground; most of the seating up front are barstools. I was told that the barstools were all that was available at this time. I accepted that as such because that's what was told to me and until I went to the bathroom and saw a ton of dining area seats. I even saw a table with three people were sitting and dining. It's quite possible that the person who greeted me did not hear me, but I don't think it's likely, and so it feels a bit ableist that I asked for an accommodation because of acute body pain and was told that there was nothing available to accommodate that. I decided to wait until happy hour (4 PM) to order pulled pork sliders, and truffle fries. It was tasty. The fries were a little too salty though, but I enjoyed my meal, and its portion wasn't not too much or too little. I do not think I will be back & It's not based on the food. It's more so based on the treatment, and I think that they can do better. Signed, Your Hudson Yards neighbor

    Death Avenue? More like Death to My Wallet--great food, but my bank account needed CPR afterward! Death Avenue has a great vibe, and the food and drinks definitely deliver on quality and taste. The menu offers a nice variety, and everything we ordered was well-prepared and flavorful. The cocktails, in particular, were a highlight--unique and expertly crafted. That said, the prices were surprisingly steep for what you get. While the experience was enjoyable overall, it's hard to ignore the cost when compared to similar spots in the area. If you're looking to splurge a bit, it's worth checking out, but keep the price tag in mind when planning your visit.

    Came here for dinner after seeing the Vessel. The food was tasty, but the prices were higher than I would be willing to pay for what we had. My favorite of the three dishes we had was the souvlaki. The place itself has a very dark ambiance. We sat at a high top table and the stools were a bit wobbly. The service was great, except they ran the wrong bill but quickly fixed it.

    I stopped by Death Ave for some drinks with a friend. It was a really nice day out, so we were able to sit in the back/courtyard area, which wasn't actually fully set up yet, but was a cool area nevertheless. The staff was really accommodating, making sure to check on us in the outdoor area. Not going to lie, I'd prefer to go to a happy hour spot, since paying upwards of $20 for a drink feels like quite the ripoff, but I still had an enjoyable time. I didn't get the chance to try any food, but the drinks drinks were pretty standard. I'd recommend coming by when the courtyard area is in full swing!

    I stopped off here as a matter of convenience--it was right down the street from the McKittrick Hotel, where I was going for another stab at the soon-to-close "Sleep No More." This restaurant is mostly Greek, maybe Greek fusion. They have a whole section of smash burgers (feta zest, Swiss mushroom, American bacon, cheddar pepper), as well as sandwiches like baby back rib-wich and fried chicken. They also have lamb chops, skirt steak skewers, moussaka, pasta Santorini, and a section of "ocean bites," or halibut skewers, eight-hour octopus, calamari, and coconut shrimp. I chose the Hellenic BBQ from the entree section. This dish is pricier, 52 dollars, and is served with either steak, lamb chops, halibut, or jumbo shrimp. It is accompanied by grilled zucchini and cauliflower and Greek fries. I chose the steak, medium. While a little fatty, the flavors were AWESOME! I don't know what kind of seasoning they used, but it was delicious and unusual. The cauliflower and zucchini were grilled perfectly. And while I am not a shoestring fry fan, these were seasoned well and were REAL Greek fries. They were more than just fries with feta thrown on top. The food: excellent. The drinks weren't the best I've ever had. The basil gimlet was a little sweet. The mastiha mint was essentially a mojito, but not bad. The Prosecco crush was pretty good. I am not regretful I had these drinks, but come here for the food and atmosphere, save the drinks as an afterthought. Service was impeccable. I was sat in a quiet, sexy little space with faded wood and pretty blue curtains. I had a view of the outside courtyard, in which others were enjoying their drinks and conversation. My server was soft-spoken, attentive, and lovely. I wish I knew his name, but it's not on my receipt. He was working on 4/15/24 and I was cashed out at 6:23 PM. He also provided me with a complimentary desert, vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and some type of small chocolate cake, almost like a fig cake. It was a much appreciated gesture, above and beyond! I don't go to mid-town/Chelsea often, but if I ever find myself back in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to come here. Great mood, great service, a vibe, a mood.

    I wasn't expecting this bar to have the caliber of cocktails that they do. I understood this place to be a brewery and was surprised to see many beers from other locations. I assumed they were have more brews of their own highlighted. Regardless, the cocktails were fantastic. Well made with a lot of intentionality. A great choice on a hot day to relax and get a break from the rain and heat outside. The drinks were delicious and worth the stop if you're in the area.

    Came in for a drink and was totally"wowed" by this place. Gorge interiors, awesome service and beautifully decorated. HH M-F so we will be back!

    I stopped in for dinner on a Thursday night around 9pm and it wasn't too busy to be able to get a table for 2. We got one of these cute private booths in the corner and it was adorable. Our food and drinks were really good. The Zucchini Shrimp Fresca was so light and refreshing with just the right amount of flavor in the sauce. Highly recommend for a date night!

    This Greek influenced bar is easily a place you will be back for more! The house made pita chips were light and not hard like most pita chips are made. Soft enough to scoop from their house-made appetizers and not leave you with a chipped tooth haha. I was not thrilled with their Fried Pickle Chips. I think they tried too hard here. The batter was thick yet tasty. It held the pickle chip and its flavor well, but the chip was a thicker cut. This is no good. A thicker chip will hold the pickle juices and it will not fry well and get crispy. Therefore, when you take a bite, the hot juices will burn your mouth. The highlight for me was their Lamb Chops... sooooo good!!! Mouth watering, cut just right, meaty, flavorful, juicy. I am craving some right now. They were so good that I didn't even feel the need to dip them into the chimichuri sauce it came with.

    Chicken souvlaki tacos
    Elayne W.

    Came here for drinks and dinner with coworkers on a Thursday and we had no trouble making a reservation. The place is a bit dark and the layout a little odd but a nice place where you can have conversations and actually hear each other. They have happy hour drinks and food until 6:30. We ordered the Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, pork sliders and truffle fries from the happy hour menu. I would recommend all of them except the truffle fries since they weren't anything special and a bit soggy. For entrees we ordered the souvlaki chicken tacos, cod tacos and steak tacos. There's 3 per order and they're pretty filling. I personally liked the chicken tacos the best because the chicken was tender, well seasoned and there was a large portion of them. Overall, we had a good experience here! Our waitress was attentive but not overbearing. We stayed almost 3 hours and were appreciative of not being rushed.

    I had been here two years before for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed myself, so when I was invited for happy hour I was more than excited. Food / Drink (5/5) - good selection of wines and spirits, have not really tried their cocktails. Even the bar food was fairly well curated - we had a set of beef and chicken tacos. The chicken was really well marinated and the pear puree topping on top of the steak tacos was unusual and refreshing. Other than that, the calamari and coconut breaded shrimp were all very well done, plus the different sauces!! So great - there was a pesto-like one, a barbecue one that was a little more tangy, and one final one that was reminiscent of gochujang. Brunch, back when i came here, was also a similar selection of interestingly plated and designed dishes. Expect to discover something new / unexpected here! Ambiance (7/5) - we managed to get space at the back patio, which was a nice sanctuary rimmed with fairy lights, wood bar tables and seating. If you looked up, you saw the winking skyscrapers and the high line. It was a very beautiful place for an evening. Service (4/5) - taking a point off because service was slower than I remembered at the happy hour, but the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and I didn't remember this being a problem last time I was here. Could've easily been due to an off day. Pricing (4/5) - Definitely on the higher side here but would say that this is fair for the experience and quality. All in all, I had a great experience here. Definitely a good place to bring people for drinks, and also a great first date spot!

    Love the vibes at Death Ave, it felt almost medieval! The food was also so yummy. I recommend the mezze platter and eggplant tacos. But most of all, I recommend the sangria- it was delicious! It's not the biggest restaurant so I recommend coming with a small group (4 or less) for a nice dinner. The outdoor area looked very nice as well.

    Good drinks with a unique spin on Greek food. FOOD: I got the steak souvlaki minis (aka. Greek tacos), came with fries. Food was decent, although a bit messy. Taste-wise was decent, nothing too amazing but a tad pricey for what you get. DRINKS: Had the Fig Julep and Death Ave Tea. Fig Julep was absolutely delicious--highlight of the night for me. Think an old fashioned but with a hint of sweet fig. The Death Ave Tea was refreshing, but a bit light; very easy to drink. VIBE: Came in on a Sunday night, place was quite empty but I enjoyed the vibe overall. Staff was friendly and service was great. SCORE: 3/5 - Enjoyed the food and loved the drinks, would come back if I were in the area.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
