The outdoor seating was perfection and the food was delightful, but the real star was our waiter, Nahid N. Even with a packed house, he was the definition of grace under pressure--attentive, informative, and genuinely cheery. While NYC has endless dining options, we'll be returning to The Ellington specifically demanding that we sit in his section again. Nahid N., you are the man. Thanks so much for being a highlight in our New York trip. We will be back!

The Ellington generally offers nice ambience with a pianist, good food and good service, but my…read morefirst experience carries a caveat: their policies can be enforced against their interests and yours. I visited The Ellington on a rain soaked Sunday with a group of thirty, a Ministry from a Harlem Church. The restaurant has the room to host substantial groups and one of our Ministry members has been a regular at The Ellington for many years, more often for brunch, and she arranged for us to brunch at The Ellington. We were not seated exactly where we were supposed to be seated, but it worked out fine for the most part... I ordered the Skirt Steak and Eggs Frites, medium rare and scrambled soft, from the brunch menu, but had my eye on a few items from their regular menu, which I was told was not available during brunch. I also ordered a glass of Australian Shiraz they have on the wine menu. The steak was pretty good and cooked just a bit north of medium rare, but okay. The au poivre sauce put it over. The eggs were scrambled soft and the surprise was how good the fries and onion rings were, the latter particularly crispy on the outside. This would be most satisfying for most appetites. One person returned her chicken and waffles for lack of any substantial chicken on the plate, but the steak frites will stick to your ribs. The Australian Shiraz must be the sleeper on the wine menu. It's good. The confounding issue arose from the member who is a regular here, who brought her own tea bag and was charged five bucks for the hot water. This charge and policy was enforced by the manager with indifference, which is surprising for a regular who just brought the restaurant receipts of $1500 or more. I ordinarily choose not to comment on such matters within the discretion of the management, but, when the discretion is exercised with indifference to a regular, it is worth noting and adjusting my rating, even when most aspects were good. I cannot see how enforcement of this policy is in the interests of the restaurant or the patron for five bucks on an overall check of $1500 or more possibly. 3.0 stars

Our group of twelve showed up without a reservation, yet the staff was incredibly accommodating and quickly arranged outdoor seating for all of us. We ordered margaritas, red and white wine, spritzers, and frosé. Every drink was excellent, and Happy Hour made it even better. We only ordered fries since we were mainly there for drinks, but the service truly made the visit stand out. The young women who took care of our table were patient, friendly, and very attentive. Even with a large group, we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy our time comfortably. It was a relaxed and enjoyable visit, and we would definitely return.

The servers were great and checked in regularly to make sure we were good. We also appreciated what I think was the manager watching our drinks because at $6 a martini we had to have one more, yes, they were that good. We stood for maybe 2.5 hrs and left so happy with a full belly and new memories created. Definitely a cute little spot for a solo quick bite, a nice little date night that's more on the casual side, or coming with a group of friends. While we came here for lunch during the week they did have other great food options available and weekend specials if that's something of interest. The ambiance is sexy and grown and still has a sports bar vibe. It's warm and inviting as well as cozy with the lighting. They have a fully stocked bar with 2 bars front and back. As mentioned earlier, they have daily and weekend specials for both food and drink. This place is definitely a must try and I will be coming back.

Went to a happy hour at Lion's Head Tavern on Friday evening. A solid pub with strong drinks, cold…read morebeer, and tasty bar food options. Quality: A fun pub with above average bar food. I wish the draft menu was a little more diverse, but they had enough options to satisfy the entire group. All the food I tried was delicious, and some of the things I didn't try got excellent reviews. You can't go wrong with Buffalo Wings or Tater Tots. The Fried Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the Pulled Pork, were also hits with the group. Quantity: No issue with beer pours and food comes in shareable portions. Value: $7-$11 for Draft Beers. $30 for 20 Buffalo Wings. $9 for Tater Tots. Ambiance: Lion's Head Tavern is located in the Morningside area of Manhattan. Inside it is a pretty typical packed pub, with the walls covered with memorabilia and televisions. The table setup is definitely made to maximize the space and get in as many guests inside as possible. Outside they had multiple sheltered areas, one of which we sat in. The area surrounding the pub had a lot of characters, so expect to see some interesting activity. Crowd: Packed inside and out, I was surprised about how hard many of the customers were going early on Friday. Service: A little slow on a busy Friday evening. Parking: Tough parking on a busy street.

NBA Monday game night Happy Hour was until 8,…read moreand even after we ordered all of our food and drink before then besides one appetizer which we ordered after. All but one round of drinks were at the happy hour price and each drink was now $20. It's odd because the food happy hour orders didn't go up but the drinks did? Either way, we didn't agree with the bill and after some discussion with the bartender, it was lowered but they tacked on an automatic gratuity (I guess as a way to compensate) but it was only two of us, so that should have never happened, especially since gratuity is optional. This experience honestly ruined the vibe and our willingness to come back again. It's really a shame because we looked forward to Monday happy hour because getting good drinks at that price is rare in the city and is a nice gem when it happens. I understand the desire to cash in on events like this, but your originality and integrity is what keeps customers and return customers. I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be back, even though it's a nice establishment. This experience was just too sour.
