    I came here with my husband to celebrate my birthday. We did make reservations and I am so glad we did. It was very busy at 5pm on a Saturday so reservations suggested. My husband started with the 'Paradise Found' drink which was koch elemental mezcal, passionfruit puree, pineapple, agave, lime. He loved it. He said it was very strong but one of the best drinks he has had. I got a 'Pom Pom Fresca' which was Pomegranate, blackberry, mint, seltzer. It was super refreshing. For an appetizer, we got the 'Chili Crisp Shrimp' which was Drizzled & Served with Spicy Ginger Chili Sauce. These were delicious; especially the sauce. For an entree, I got the 'Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese' which was Roasted Tomatoes, Vegetable Stock of Onions, Garlic, Celery, Carrots, & Herbs. Served with a Buttered Grilled Cheese Dipping Sticks. It was just okay - nothing more, nothing less. The cheese was not melted and it was all just okay. My husband got the 'Smashed Burger' which was two 3-ounce Angus Beef Patties, American Cheese, Onion, Buttered Bun with Smash Sauce. Served with French Fries. He loved it and thought it was great burger. This place was pretty pricy. I don't think it was worth the $90 something dollars we spent. The service was quick and friendly. I don't know if I would go back. If I could give it 3.5 I would, but for now I will stick with 3 since the grilled cheese and soup could be have been better.

    Delicious fries with some aioli to dip. It took a long time to bring out the food - . I do love the ambiance

    Brunch tacos

    Enjoyed a birthday brunch at Dutch Fred's. The decor was super cute and the service was very good. I split the tacos and pancakes, for a sweet and salty fix, with a friend. I loved the tacos! The pancakes had a cakey and almost cornbread consistency, which was different. They were not too sweet and the presentation was beautiful. I loved that Hugo Spritz was an option for the bottomless drinks! My only complaint is that we were seated in the back and there was little circulation, making it very hot.

    May be the best espresso martini I've ever had! Perfectly cold & perfectly caffeinated. Our server Finn was a great chat, and made delicious drinks! We stayed longer than we planned, enjoying the cool space and great company. Perfect spot to debrief a Broadway show over a cocktail.

    Such a great vibe. I was visiting on a work trip and I felt like a local sitting at the bar. I just had a soup and beer, but both were great and the bartenders provided was super kind. I would definitely recommend stopping here before or after a show.

    Nice atmosphere. We enjoyed our food and mainly did small plates. Servers were a little unattentive and changed over at 8pm which seemed a little strange but was able to order a second drink so no problem. Nice place to hang out with friends.

    Great service and the food was very tasty. We didn't have any cocktails but coffee was good. Service was attentive and the restaurant was packed when we left at brunch.

    Cute place near times square! I started with the winter sangria which was the perfect balance of red wine and sweetness. We ordered the guacamole as an appetizer and it was very fresh. I did the wagyu burger sliders and they were fine but not a ton of flavor.

    First time here and the place was packed and vibrant--exactly what you'd expect in Midtown Manhattan. We grabbed seats at the gorgeous bar to avoid the wait. Service was quick and friendly, and the craft cocktails were impressive. I started with the London Rouge--beautiful presentation but a bit too heavy on the beet for my taste. My husband's drink forgot the name had a flower and I believe anise had a much better flavor balance. I switched to mezcal and loved the Apágame el Fuego--although small it is spicy, fresh, and unique. Later, another bartender made me a drink called Paradise Found, and it was the standout drink of the night--perfectly balanced and delicious. Food was also excellent. The wagyu sliders, truffle fries, brisket sliders, and fried chicken sandwich were all flavorful and satisfying. The ambiance was great and staff added a welcoming vibe. We'll definitely be back!

    Dutch punch

    I can't say enough good things about Dutch Freds! Made a reservation for brunch after seeing a post about the bottomless option on Instagram. I loved that the drinks were served in tea cups! Also equally loved the decor. Made for a nice and cozy holiday vibe on a cold winter day. The bottomless drinks are served in little carafes, and let me tell you, they pack a punch! Enjoyed the Dutch punch. Now sometimes restaurants with bottomless brunch tend to put more emphasis on the drinks and less on the food. I was glad to say this was not the case with Dutch Freds! Everything was so tasty, from the brisket to the eggs to the little potatoes served on the side. Our server was friendly and attentive and so we let her know we would absolutely return in the near future.

    Stumbled upon Dutch Freds early this Friday evening. (May 2025) As per tradition when bestie and I are headed to a broadway show we head to the theater district find parking and pick a random spot for a bite to eat before curtain call. This Friday the parking God's were on our side but Mother Nature was not. As the rain started to fall we dipped in to Dutch Freds. At 5:30/6pm there were no tables available but we found spots at the bar. Service, food, and decor were all very good. We kept it simple with wings, sliders, fries, & a kale salad to share. In addition to a couple of cocktails. Everything was tasty especially the drinks. However, it was tad pricey given what we ordered, no entrée's only shareable starters and our tab was up there. Nonetheless you get what you pay for and the food and service was very good. This was a nice find, that hit the spot and saved us from the rain on our way to be theatre geeks. Lol Just A Note: They offer a brunch with unlimited tea cup cocktails.

    Oh I LOVE this place!!! New favorite spot. Truffle fries are a MUST. Chicken tenders are good, wayguvaliders are GREAT! Espresso martinis are TO DIE FOR!!! I love this place!! Our server was so sweet and it is decorated so adorably!!!

    Great drinks and appetizers before the show. Definitely would go back and try more menu items. The service was quick; we ate outside. I am guessing that they are use to pre-show crowds.

    Website says 21 after 5 does that mean I can sit with my 16 yo at 5 or will we be refused when we show up to a 5 reservation because we are seated after 5?? Dinner before the theater and looking for a fun weekend spot.

    After matinee with my 11 year old granddaughter on Saturday?

    It's a bar so it's iffy for an 11 year old girl. There are outside tables that would be more appropriate.

    Are reservations required for Sunday brunch?

    Required, no - but a very good idea as the morning becomes afternoon. It can get busy.

    How loud is the music? Can I have a conversation over dinner?

    Absolutely

    Could a group of 12 eat here? Thank you.

    Yes

    Is it a family friendly restaurant?

    Yes, but it's in New York, so there's a bar and some seating area in the back.

    Are there any current happy hour specials?

    If we book a reservation for a brunch Saturday. I know it says optional, but if we select bottomless drinks does this mean everyone must partake in the bottomless or only those who'd like to? Just trying to confirm I won't be charged for everyone.

    You can decide at the restaurant who selects bottomless and you won't be charged through the reservation but at the restaurant after ordering and finishing up brunch.

    Are guys allowing groups (10 people) to dine-in?

    I don't think they would allows groups of 10 People to dine in max 6

    Can you order off the regular menu on a Saturday during brunch? Stopping in before a show, but looking for more of the sharable plates then brunch. Looks amazing!!

    Our brunch menu is served Saturday and Sunday 11am-3pm. Our evening food menu is available from 3pm. We hope to have you in!

    Is there music playing on Tuesdays at around 4pm? Happy hour?

    I believe live music is only every Sunday during brunch.

    What is the hiring age for bartenders?

    Typically 21

    Going to Dear Evan Hansen at 2:00 today, wanted to try this place for dinner after with the family. Is it good for families? We have 3 kids age 14-19?

    For some reason I seem to remember this place as not allowing underage folk? . Check their site, but really I just wanted to say OMG Dear Evan Hansen you are going to love it enjoy!! 👍. Just checked site, strictly 21 plus after 4 pm

    Do you serve breakfast on weekdays (Friday specifically)?

    Hi , We open at 11am Tues-Fri. We serve 3 brunch favorites - Chicken & Waffles, Avocado Smash & Egg & Bacon Sammy. We hope to have you in!

    Is this place bottomless brunch on Sundays?

    Yes we have 90 minute bottomless brunch & punch on Saturday & Sunday's for $25 with purchase of entree. This includes our Mimosa’s, Bloody Mary's & our Dutch's Punch cocktail.

    Do you serve a full evening menu dining at the bar? Attending a show at 8pm and looking for a good timeline to arrive and dine?

    Hi Gary, Yes we serve the full evening menu at the bar. We get a big post work & pre-theatre hit… Read more

    I was wondering if there is a bar area to sit here and if so how it is on a Sunday?

    Definitely a great bar area! We were there for a Sunday Brunch and there was space available!

I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

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.

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!

We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

It was a fun play with the green curry and saffron. This place is a little loud, so it is not easy to have a convo with your party. I am old so this probably wouldn't have been something I clocked in my younger years. They do have food which looks intriguing. Especially anything with truffles on it. If in the area, would definitely consider coming back for a quick drink and bite. REVIEW #4013
