    Went for drinks and light bites on a Thursday evening. The bar was full but was able to grab a table without a reservation. I got the Rochester Rally (basically an old fashioned) which was tasty. The other person got The Alchemist which was refreshing and wasn't spicy at all (even though it had Japanese chile). We shared the Hanover Steak and Cheese Sandwich which was okay (had a weird meat taste) but the Gruyère cheese made up for it. Also had the Papas Bravas which would've been great if the texture was a bit softer (the finger lake potatoes were a bit undercooked) but the smoky aioli was tasty. Then shared a glass of red cab which was delicious. The service was top notch and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Would come back for cocktails and try the other small plates.

    The problem with NYC is that exactly what you need will magically appear, if you wait long enough. How the hell am I supposed to quit that?!? Background: I moved back upstate in 2020 after 15 years in Manhattan. I've visited several times since then, but this was my first time back to the office in three years. My coworker friend and I wanted a quiet bar where we could catch up and relax. Unfortunately, she had laryngitis. Doubly unfortunate: our office moved to FiDi in early 2022, a stone's throw from Stone Street. Quiet bars are not what finance bros are looking for. We walked into several bars, hoping for one where we could get two seats together and hear each other. Honestly, I never thought we'd find a thing. And then we stumble upon Harry's. In a sea of loud, crowded Stone Street bars, this gorgeous art deco train car-inspired bar appeared as though we'd conjured it. Sedate. Refined. Uncrowded. I worried they weren't open; why else was it not packed to the gills?? In a word, they were incredible. My friend asked if they could make a hot toddy for her, and boy howdy could they ever. Christian used his butane crème brûlée torch to scorch some lemon, and added a drained star anise to the finished product. Utter elegance. As for me, when I saw they had Tanqueray 10, my favorite gin, I knew I needed a martini. Christian asked if I wanted olives or a twist; I said that I loved olives but a twist probably paired better with this delicate gin. Reader, Christian rocks. He gave me a crisp clean martini, olives chilling--with the remainder of my martini--on ice in a separate glass. I've actually had this before, from a bartender friend, and it is the perfect way to have a martini. Let the gin do it's delicate, herbaceous, floral thing, and still treat your palate to a briny olive, but without the olive disturbing the balance of the martini. Delectable gamechanger of happiness. Friendly service. Amazing ambiance. Top-shelf liquor. Competitive prices. Knowledgeable staff. Look, I'm not saying I conjured Harry's Side Bar into existence. But Harry's Side Bar was exactly what we needed, in the middle of a swamp of what we hoped to avoid. Get to this oasis ASAP.

    Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

    My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

    Quite impressive. A small, charming restaurant that seats maybe 28. I arrived when they opened at 5…read morePM on a Thursday, I was the first one there; by the time I left 45 min later it was full. I started with the chilled celtuce with kombu jelly (the celtuce stem was sliced into bamboo shoot-sized strips, as was the kombu jelly) with toasted shallots in a red vinegar sauce. It stole the show. I've never had celtuce, loved it paired with the jelly, the texture and flavor were both amazing. It was the most interesting and prettiest dish I've had in a long time. For my entree, I had the bobo chicken, which is a poached chicken with a hint of spice and a nice broth. I ordered a side of rice to soak up the broth; the rice had something starchy tucked in it (maybe taro)? I liked it. There were slices of raw celtuce stems (I think, similar to celery) on top that offered some nice texture to the dish. Wine: I tried a merlot by the glass from Xiaopu winery in China. I thought it had nice body and flavor. I'm no expert but for the first western style wine I've tried from China, it was very good. The service was excellent. They are great with wine advice, which I noticed as my server helped an adjacent table select a bottle. I am excited to come back to try more dishes. Great date place. Bad group place. Four or less.

    TLDR: I recommend coming here with your bestie/boo not too hungry, get a bottle of wine, the cat…read moreear hand pulled noodles & the sticky rice toffee pudding dessert. Walked in at 8pm on a Wednesday and was able to sit right away for a limited time (1.5hrs), which was plenty for us. It's small, as most places in NYC are, and dark & intimate. They also have shared tables, so we sat with another couple. Huge wine selection. Everything we ate was delicious. To me, the Celtuce is more of a novelty - cool, yummy, fresh but small. The crudo was the same thing. So in my opinion, I don't think it's worth the money. The noodles were so good we got 2 orders of it - you cannot skip!! The dessert was also unlike anything I've had before. If you love sticky rice and caramel/toffee, you have to try it. Overall, I do think it was very expensive but the ambiance + some of the dishes were well worth it. I'd definitely come back.

Also loved the kimchi, cucumbers and potato salad from the banchan. Tteokbokki was a standout as well. It was more than enough food, and we even took home leftovers. Service was very friendly, and coat check was a nice touch!

    I wanted to love Sunn's but overall it felt overrated…read more We ordered the banchan, chigae, bossam and tteokbokki. Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable.
