    Short Rib Grilled Cheese
    Lulu T.

    The place is pretty on the outside as it is inside. The food is very mediocre. Don't get me wrong the potato croquettes were good, but it was ok. The short rib was very tender but no seasoning, my friend ordered their short rib with mashed potatoes and that too, had no seasoning, also didn't come with any vegetables. The short rib grilled cheese was 5/10, love the homemade fries though. The lava cake was ok. The menu is interesting, nothing seems to go together? My friend and I walked in, and weren't greeted by 3 of the men working the front until, we tried to seat ourselves (my friend really wanted to try this place. Our waitress was nice and very attentive and helped with what to choose. Overall it's a nice place but not to eat.

    Friendly bartenders and awesome happy hour from 11am to 8pm daily. The perfect location to enjoy some drinks and snacks before a show. We savored our $7 glasses of wine and the Jane Doe salad with candied walnuts, cranberries, and balsamic dressing. The bar was decked out in decorative faux flowers which was perfect for spring. It seemed like a fun mix of tourists and locals here, and an overall great time.

    I really wanted to like this bar because the space is genuinely cute, inside and out. The decor is well done and it has a nice overall look. It does get very crowded after work, so expect to stand! That said, the bar area had a strong odor that was hard to ignore, which took away from the experience. It smelled like literal vomit... We ordered a lychee martini and the lychee tasted off. It tasted sour when it should have been sweet, especially considering it's usually canned. That was disappointing! On a positive note, the bartender was attentive and friendly, which I appreciated. I'd consider coming back to try the food and see if the experience is better overall.

    Another delicious lunch here. Happy Hour offers $1 oysters, discounted wine and cocktails and freshly prepared and flavorful food specials. The oysters are always outstanding - fresh. perfectly shucked and beautifully presented. We shared a dozen. For the meal, we loved the French Onion soup! The bowls are filled with savory broth, a crouton and perfectly caramelized onions, covered with a slice of molten cheese lightly charred at the edges, and as if that's not enough, there's a fistful of fried onions to top this all off! Then the Honey had the chicken club sandwich with a salad instead of the French fries, I had the Irish Sausage Sandwich, one of the day's lunch specials. Both dishes were very good! Today's experience was made even better by the patient, efficient and knowledgeable server - Laura. She was very attentive and helpful throughout. We will definitely be back!

    Recently visited Jane Doe with a reservation--which is definitely necessary since the space is small and extremely busy. I ordered the Short Rib Mac and Cheese and the octopus. When the Mac and Cheese arrived, I initially thought the portion looked too small, but it was packed with short rib and surprisingly filling. I couldn't even finish it. The restaurant was decorated nicely for the holidays, which added a warm touch. However, the bar area had a noticeably sour smell, likely from the crowd, and the bathroom was unfortunately disgusting--the toilet was full of toilet paper and feces. To make matters worse, there's only one restroom available.

    After the tacky $100 bus ride call Tea Around Town and extensive walk at Bryant Park, we ended up here. It's has great drinks, happy hour and looks like yummy food. This is where we ended our birthday celebration.

    Came for girls night looking for a spot to grab drinks and a chill meal. Jane Doe delivered! Located smack dab in the center of midtown a couple blocks up from Bryant Park, I was glad to find it nice and toasty inside on an evening where it was feeling -15 degrees F outside. Right inside is the bar, with about a dozen seats along it and scattered around the front next to the windows and left wall. Standing room available and there were a few TVs in the bar area and a few more in the back seating area. My friend made reservations for 6:30pm and it was pretty busy even with the weather so recommend making them if you're coming around peak dinner time. Staff were quick to acknowledge us at the table and brought menus, gave us time to check them out and then took drink and app orders expeditiously. They also checked in periodically on our meal. We got to drink: - Winter Dayz $16: my friend got this and didn't particularly like it. I wondered if the ratio of pomegranate, lemon juice and simple syrup were balanced with the raspberry vodka. - Pornstar Martini $10: Friday night is pornstar martini specials night! My friend enjoyed hers. - A Twist on a Spritz $16: this was ok though I have to say I didn't taste much elderflower for having both elderflower rose gin and St. Germaine. Eats: - Spinach and artichoke dip $19: I didn't try this though my friends enjoyed! Ample pieces of pita to scoop up the hearty dip. Topped with melted Gruyère like French onion soup. - Happy hour oysters $1 each: fresh, briny great with a dab of horseradish or vinegar with a squeeze of lemon. - Shortrib potato croquettes $21 for 3 balls: very good, crispy on the outside, pillowy mashed potatoes, tender juicy shortrib inside. - Reuben sandwich $19: served with fries or salad, my friend enjoyed this, good sized sandwich and tasty and fresh salad! - Jane Doe burger $20: I got this and was overall satisfied, the patty was a perfect medium rare like I requested. Fair-sized burger I was very full afterwards! Same fries or salad and I chose the latter. The only thing was there was a little gristle ground into the meat and I kept noticing bits as I was chewing (and kinda had to spit them out). - Salmon scampi $33: served with fluffy mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. Solid take and nicely sized portion. Solid spot to come back again. Will make plans to come for happy hour and try their daily specials for sure!

    This was definitely a hidden gem. Happy hour from 11 am to 8 pm?!?! A classy and modern vibe that is cozy. Our server was nice and it look like she was the only one serving and bartending when we got there when it open. Mussels were great but a little small and the garlic sauce was flavorful but not enough for dipping the bread. $1 oysters!! They were nice and plump. I definitely recommend the Jane Doe salad had a sweet and salty balance with the walnuts, apple and blue cheese.

    Came here for happy hour with a few friends. The happy hour deal is great, and lasts a long time. We had some vodka sodas and tried some of the happy hour appetizers. They can really bit hit or miss. The pizza was AWFUL. It was basically like eating cardboard. The tacos were pretty good! The nachos were also really good. The place was packed, but the service was pretty good all things considered. They were very friendly and nice. The place itself is TERRIBLE for talking to your friends. We were sitting at a table and we could literally not hear a thing. I think there is some kind of sound tunnel where all the noise is funneled into the center of that room. The person next to me was screaming in my ear and I could barely hear them. All those things factored together, would make me not recommend this place for more than just a quick drink.

    Great cozy bar in time square! My friends and I love coming here for their bottomless brunch. Service is quick. I LOVE their French onion soup!

    Came here on a whim as we saw the sign advertising $1 oysters. We were conveniently staying at the hotel across the street, so after checking in, we walked over here to get some food. What a great find! We both had their delicious cream of mushroom soup, followed by oysters which were heavenly. We loved the vinaigrette and cocktail sauce it came with. This was probably one of my favorite meals that we've ever had in the city just for simplicity and it didnt cost a small fortune. If you love oysters, you must go here! The inside is quaint and very nicely decorated. Service was friendly. We don't drink but we noticed that the drink prices weren't insanely overpriced either.

    Melinda S.

    This is amazingminute so and a lucky find! Super cute, festive and the food is great!! The happy hour is 11-8pm during the week. The croquettes and the Oysters ($1) are AMAZING!!! Our bartender Suzanne was the greatest!!!!! So sweet & attentive!!!!!

    If I could give this place 6 stars I would! I held a small post-work event with 10+ colleagues the other day. Everyone had a fantastic time! First, while this Irish restaurant/bar is on the small side, it's super cozy and decorated beautifully- very warm and inviting. It's ideally located close to all modes of transportation in a prime Midtown location. The manager (I think?), Sharon, was beyond helpful when I walked in and made the reservation the week before. It was a pleasure dealing with her. The cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced, and it's nice that they have a happy hour menu with a decent amount of options as well. Even their main menu has many options at affordable prices - a major plus in today's economy. The bartender (not sure of her name, but she was blondish with long hair) was friendly and accommodating. Even the other patrons were pleasant (which doesn't always happen)! I passed this place on the way to work for the past few years and have been curious about it the entire time. I'm so glad I decided to inquire for the event. Even my colleagues asked why we never came here before. I think we have a new "go to" spot! I'll definitely be back!

    Do you have to sit at the bar for the happy hour or can you order happy hour at the tables also?

    Hello Happy Hour drinks is in the dining area and at the bar. Happy hour food is only at the bar. The dining area is for dinner. Thanks

    What time are $1 oysters available?

    We happened to be there on a Sunday while the sign was up outside reading the $1 oyster happy hour. I would call Jane Doe ahead and ask them when this offer happens. Definitely a great deal.

He was leering at me and making inappropriate comments that made me nauseous. Guy was old enough to be my Dad. Pretty sure he was sneaking pics of me too with his phone. I was waiting for my friend to arrive before going to see a show and ordered a neat scotch and an Allagash White when I sat down. He gives me a look and tells me I "drink like a man". Then made other comments questioning my sexuality. Total misogynistic predator creep. I didn't finish the scotch because I know what Macallan tastes like and that crap he poured me was like Costco booze. Then I worried whether or not he put something fishy in my glass. I couldn't settle the tab and get out of there fast enough. Our plan was to eat there when my friend finally arrived, but f that. Ended up meeting her at the pizza place a few blocks away. Thinking of this dude literally makes my skin crawl. I'm not one to write reviews often, but he shouldn't get away with that behavior.

Maiden signage everywhere, special drinks and food items with an Iron Maiden menu, giveaways, free personalized photo from a Lagunitas rep walking the floor, concert footage on the video screens, Lagunitas Maiden beer, all of the rooftop bar with more banners and band art, along with non-stop Iron Maiden music playing throughout! Plus, there was a large merchandise tent set up on the rooftop which was perfect as we purchased all of the gear we wanted there - shirts, jackets, hats, and other swag - same as what was at the concert which saved us a ton of time not having to wait on the ridiculously long lines at the stadium the next day. We noshed on some tasty wings, nachos, and drank Lagunitas Trooper IPA. Staff was friendly and helpful. The bar area itself was large and getting a table was easy even though it was very busy. Would have been a 5 star review but I had to take one star off since they closed the Eddie's Dive Bar event early, even though they advertised and confirmed it was supposed to run until 4am both Sat & Sun. After the concert on Sunday night ending close to 11pm many did not get back to Manhattan until after midnight due to the PATH train schedule from the stadium. Our group of around 10 people were turned away at 1am with the bouncer telling us the event was now closed. Not cool advertising it until 4am and then doing that. The bar missed out on some good business as many others were also heading there who we spoke with earlier. Oh well, that's a minor complaint as this was otherwise a terrific time.
