    Pastrami sandwich gluten free
    Margalit F.

    We've dined here twice in two days and I have to absolutely rave about this place. Food always great but it's the wonderful service too! Last night we had the blackened fish sandwich and pastrami sandwich both gluten free Every server we've had was attentive and knowledgeable ! Love the simple and functional decor that gives the place a nice uncluttered clean look. I'm so bummed friendman's doesn't have a place in the L.A area .

    Chai Tea

    We visit here regularly when we don't feel like cooking! Friedman's always delivers in taste and friendliness. The chai tea is to die for. Food is always fresh and delicious. The staff here work overtime to guarantee a great experience. This place is beautiful and convenient for our location on the upper west side.

    I came here with my friend for an early dinner on a weekday and was seated right away. I like the assortment of food on the menu and landed with a bacon lettuce tomato and avocado sandwich and a tomato soup. It came with French fries. I really liked how clean it was and it had a nice environment. The staff were really friendly and attentive.

    Comfort food with a New York twist. Check out tuna, crispy rice appetizer excellent. Tried the fish and chips New York style and Friedman fried chicken all were extremely satisfying. Enjoyed in a chill atmosphere so full no room for dessert can't wait to go back, the real deal. ! Nice and friendly service

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes ($19)
    Cheryl P.

    One of my go-to places for a casual brunch! My friend and I arrived here a little past noon on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating. This location is a little bit more "out of the way" compared to some of the other locations but definitely worth the walk imo since we were able to get seated right away without having a reservation, it wasn't as crowded as noisy, and service was top notch! This location's menu is also incredibly extensive and includes a ton of Asian-inspired dishes too, though I went for the lemon ricotta pancakes this time and my friend got the spinach artichoke dip. We both really enjoyed our food and I appreciated how careful and knowledgeable the staff were about accommodating my gluten-free dietary restrictions! I only wish I had a little bit more fruit on my pancakes but oh well :) they were so fluffy and warm and fresh - I know I'll definitely be back in no time to try out additional items on their menu!

    Chicken & Cheddar Waffle
    Suzanne T.

    Great service, amazing food, and nice outdoor seating. I've eaten at the Chelsea Market location several times but the West End location is much better in regard to service and overall experience. I had the gf chicken and waffle - I adore a savory waffle and this one did not disappoint. The habanero honey is to die for. The dish is big enough to share OR take home leftovers! Thanks for all of the gluten free options!

    Salmon
    Anna K.

    Came here on a Friday evening at 6pm - it was empty so no reservations needed. The staff was super attentive and sweet. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries and my friend had the salmon entree. Good for comfort food and catching up with friends. They're currently renovating next door so I'm sure the venue will be even bigger once it's completed. Will definitely recommend and will be back.

    Pastrami Reuben
    Vicky R.

    This was a nice addition to the neighborhood. I liked their sturdy outdoor set up and the heat lamps. We came around lunchtime and they were quite busy. Seems like they only had two servers for everyone which was not enough since it took them a while to clean up after parties who had left. As a result, the wait times were longer than they estimated. However they had good covid precautions (well spaced tables, servers with masks). For the food itself, we loved our pastrami Reuben. It was warm, comforting and juicy. Definitely a greasy guilty pleasure for a cold weekend. The fries were pretty good as well, not super crispy but well flavored. It was enough for two of us to split and feel full afterwards. We got the Mac n cheese side too. We will definitely skip it next time. We liked the crispy topping and I liked the lighter sauce, but the pasta itself was too al dente and ended up tasting stale as a result. Looking forward to trying other dishes though!

    I had such a great time here. My boyfriend was able to book us a dinner reservation for our 4 year…read moreanniversary. (Edit: I just noticed his review is also on here! Lol.) We got to have our dinner in the dining room which was so much nicer and peaceful than the bar area, which I also wouldn't have minded but it was too noisy for a relaxed evening. Service was wonderful and very accommodating! I also loved all the monkey decor, it really tickled me every time we spotted a different monkey haha. We started with the truffle monkey bread! It was so good! For my entree, I got the miso cod, buttery mashed potatoes and a coconut margarita which were all amazing! We even got a complimentary dessert for our anniversary which was a salted caramel ice cream with a candle! We also ordered a banana split for fun and we loved it. I would definitely come back even in the bar dining area because I want to try everyone else's food recommendations! 10/10!

    Everything from food to service to ambiance were excellent! We tried the crab cakes and truffle…read moremonkey bread for apps and loved both. The bread was perfectly soft and paired really well with the cheese, truffle and butter it came with. The crab cakes were delicious, crispy and well seasoned. For mains we shared the cheeseburger, steak frites and prime rib French dip. All three dishes were great and all the meat was cooked perfectly medium rare for us. Finally for dessert we had the chocolate pie which we all loved. It was the perfect way to end the meal. If you're able to get a res here I think it's well hyped!

    I stopped by La Pecora Bianca on a Monday night, and the place was packed. I'll be honest -- I…read morewalked in fully expecting a long wait and was already mentally preparing to find a Plan B. But to my surprise, the host was able to seat me at their community table within just a couple of minutes. What a relief! Now, onto the important part -- the food. I started with a ginger lime soda, which was refreshing and the perfect way to kick things off. For my appetizer, I went with the whipped ricotta, and wow, it was creamy, light, and absolutely divine. For my main course, I ordered the chicken parmesan with homemade vodka sauce-doused pasta, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the sauce was flavorful, and the homemade pasta elevated the whole dish to another level. Everything was absolutely fabulous. The whole time I was eating, I kept watching the waiters bring out dish after dish from the kitchen, and honestly, everything looked incredible. I was kicking myself for coming solo -- I wish I had been there with a group so we could have ordered more and shared! This is definitely a place you want to come to with friends so you can try a little bit of everything. I also have to shout out the service -- it was fast and attentive without ever being pushy. My server checked in at all the right moments and never made me feel rushed. It's that perfect balance where you feel well taken care of but can still enjoy your meal at your own pace. The ambiance is really fun and cool without being pretentious or overly trendy. I never felt out of place, which I really appreciated. It's the kind of spot where you can dress up or keep it casual and still feel right at home. One small note -- the lighting is on the darker side, so if you're someone who is sensitive to dim lighting, just be aware of that. Personally, I thought it added to the vibe. And can we talk about the prices? For New York City, this place is surprisingly reasonable, especially for Midtown. You're getting high-quality, delicious Italian food without the sticker shock that so many NYC restaurants come with. Bottom line: La Pecora Bianca is delicious, welcoming, and well-priced. I will absolutely be back -- and next time, I'm bringing friends.

    Ordered: Hugo Spritz (~$19): St. Germain & prosecco…read moreMargherita Neopolitan Style Pizza (~$23): tomato, fior di latte, basil Zucchini Fries (~$18): pomodoro sauce and parmesan Whipped Ricotta (~$18): ricotta, truffle honey, country toast Crispy Brussels Sprouts (~$13): with rosemary honey, lemon, chili flakes Chicken Parmesan (~$36): with vodka sauce and rigatoni Tiramisu for Two (~$19): mascarpone, espresso, amaro Aya's take: I've always wanted to try La Pecora Bianca and finally made my way here for dinner. We arrived at 5:30pm on a weekday for our reservation and to my surprise, almost every table was taken! They have a few locations throughout the city but the menus are more or less the same. I started with a Hugo Spritz which was light & refreshing but not the best I've had. We shared a Margherita Neopolitan Style Pizza which had a super thin & tender crust, fresh tomatoes and basil, and delicious cheese. Pretty solid start! The Whipped Ricotta was somehow better and I absolutely loved the creaminess of the ricotta along with the truffle honey. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts were charred beautifully and was a nice vegetable to have on the table. Even the Zucchini Fries were so well-made! They could be "prettier" but the flavor and crunch is definitely there. The rigatoni was so fantastic but the chicken parm itself could have been crispier and more seasoned. We ended with the Tiramisu for Two which is easily feeds 4 people. This is an absolute must to end the meal! I can see why this spot is so popular and glad I finally got to pop my LPB cherry!
