    eggplant
    Paula L.

    this place is definitely a vibe. The drinks are always really good. I was disappointed that they didn't have their crispy eggplant on the menu. I was here last year and got it and it was my favorite. My friend and I shared some apps. Some sliders, fish tacos, and pork boa. They were good. I wouldn't get those fish tacos again to tell you the truth. I barely tasted any fish in them, But I still like this place a lot. lol. This place is always a good option before a show

    I can't believe I never reviewed this spot! I had the best French toast of my entire life here omg! And the tipsy tea brunch was sooo cutesy! I'm definitely including this on my brunch list every time I'm in the city

    Cocktails!

    Very cozy atmosphere and excellent friendly servers. Food was a hit with everyone we had the mezze platter and a margherita pizza and a couple delicious cocktails.

    Tempura Battered Fish Taco, Roasted Cauliflower Taco, carne asada tacos, and French Fries
    Mike G.

    We weren't terribly wowed by $5 tacos on Taco Tuesday. The carne asada seemed to be missing the guacamole, and they were rather dry and tasteless without. The fish and cauliflower tacos were both better. Fries were fine; they definitely should've been for $11. Service was friendly but slow even though they weren't terribly busy at 10:00 on a Tuesday night. It was crazy loud from a few tables nearby. We wouldn't hurry back here.

    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.

    Avocado Smash Brunch

    Brunch menu is good but limited. The food was fresh and tasty. Service was quick and easy. We were sitting at the window seat near the front of the door but it felt very comfortable.

    Tres Leches French Toast Brunch

    Server was really nice. Very nice atmosphere. I had caramelized banana French toast and it was so good! My friend had two patties burger and it was really good! The mocktail wasn't that great.

    Chicken and Waffles Benedict
    Jason T.

    The Chicken and Waffles Benedict alone is basically worth the 5 stars. When I saw that on the brunch menu, I knew this was a place I needed to try. My one note on the dish would be to use thicker, Belgian style waffles. Otherwise, they were absolutely incredible. One of the most delicious chicken and waffle meals I've ever had. My wife had the BEC and said it was extremely cheesy and delicious. Her only request would've been ketchup and hot sauce that wasn't Tobasco. Both of us would love to return here though. The service was great. They were very attentive and welcoming. The environment is like an Irish Pub mixed with a diner and I mean that in the best way. I can't wait for another chance to eat here again.

    Interior during Christmas time

    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.

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

    Brunch tacos
    Angela B.

    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.

    Bridget D.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Hi, do you have non alcoholic drinks?

    Hi Yu Wen, Our bartenders can make you a delicious mocktail. We have a range of soda, orange juice… 

    Do you serve bloody marys all day? or just at lunch/brunch?

    Its normally just lunch and brunch but we can serve in evening also as special request. Cheers

    Do we need to make reservations for brunch?

    Hi Fotini, We would recommend reservations for brunch. For parties of 6 guests or less - you can… 

    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… 

    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!

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space.

We ordered both the chips and bar nuts to go along with our drinks. And instead of wine, I opted for a cocktail! They have a pretty extensive cocktail menu with all these crazy concoctions.

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.

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.
