    Mexican street Corn

    One good thing is we did get sat very quickly even on St.Patrick's day and drinks were yummy but the food took a while for one appetizer of street corn and was not very good very sour and a lot of mayo would not recommend for $17

    This cute bar that I have passed alot but never stepped foot into was a place I finally tried last night as I was there for a holiday party. I did not try any if the food but what I saw looked tasty. I had seen the social media page for this bar and saw to try their Espresso Martini. So that is what I got. I must say very tasty a bit on the strong side, which is a good thing...Right?! They have some good beer selections too. I then had a Goose IPA. Their weekly specials are pretty good too. 4PM - 8PM MIXED WELL DRINKS $8.00 DRAFT BEER $7.00 BOTTLES $5.00 WINES $8.00 DAILY SPECIALS SUNDAY Happy Hour 4PM - CLOSE MONDAY Half price bottle of wine after 8PM TUESDAY $8 Margaritas and 1/2 off Apps with entrée ALL DAY WEDNESDAY $5 Espresso Martinis and free beer with burger purchase ALL DAY THURSDAY $5 Aperol Spritz ALL DAY I will have yet to come back on a Wednesday and take part in 5.00 Espresso Martinis!!! I will be back here and if you find yourself in the area I would stop in!

    A good spot if you're in the area. Great happy hour deals with selected wines, cocktails and beers. Food was decent as well. We enjoyed the buffalo chicken sliders. We also ordered the rigatoni and Caesar salad. They were generous with the amount of Parmesan!

    Came here on a Thursday night to grab some food and drinks, but arrived a little bit too late for food. Bartender was super nice and tried to help me find places I can find food, but I opted to just stay and get a drink. Can't remember for the life of me what I got, but it had coffee and whipped cream in it, and was super delicious. Bartender was super friendly and nice but also considerate enough to catch on that I just wanted to be left alone. Overall a nice place, would definitely drop by again!

    Highly recommend this cute bar in the East Village. Great happy hour deals and awesome service. The margaritas and chips and guac were great and our server was very friendly. Definitely will be going back soon!

    Linen Hall has character. It is a very decent bar that you can grab a drink or order a meal. The server staff and bartenders were enthusiastic and chatty. For bar food you can get a decent burger. I thought the fries that came with it were worth every calorie. I was hoping my beer would wash any calories completely away. This is a fun bar with a good mix of people.

    Mezzi Rigatoni

    My friend suggested we try Linen Hall as it was near her apartment and we were extra enticed by the happy hour. We called ahead and got a reservation, which I highly recommend, and got a table outside. The tables were a good size but fairly close to each other. However I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the inside/outside set up and the floral elements sprinkled throughout the restaurant. I ordered the Mezzi Rigatoni and the Sweet Like Sugar cocktail. The drink was full of flavor and I loved the sugar rim but definitely on the stronger side. The pasta was absolutely to die for! The texture of the pasta coupled with the tangy sauce made for a delightful pairing. The chicken was tender and juicy and overall this dish was absolutely amazing. Our waitress did a great job giving us space to have dinner and chat while still being attentive. The menu can be a bit on the higher side but they have an AMAZING happy hour! Overall I highly recommend this restaurant for happy hour and an amazing pasta dish.

    Loved this place! Came here for my birthday, and it was so great! I was here for dinner. I was in the area, and found this place. I ordered a hamburger (Linen Burger), and it was so good! This restaurant is super cute and cozy, too. There were lots of people just hanging out at the bar drinking. There is also outdoor seating as well. The burger I had was amazing and delicious. I'm so glad I came here! I would definitely come back here again. This is in a super convenient area and the service was great, as well.

    Their disco fries - definitely will be back for these!

    Linen has been my home base for the last 3 years. Different occasions where I've come here: - First dates on week nights - Date nights on week nights - Happy hour with friends in the summer, sitting outside in the warm weather - Happy hour (all night) with friends on a Sunday night - Dessert on a Sunday afternoon It's situated right next to Penny and there's a door that connects the two businesses. I usually order disco fries during happy hour to go with the wine. It keeps me full for a couple of hours and then I can go for a proper dinner. Wines during happy hour are $5/$6. The only issue is that it gets REALLY noisy and you need to half-yell to be heard. But on week nights it's quiet and relaxed. As long as I'm still in the same neighborhood, I will be coming back.

    I'm so glad this place's overall rating has gone from a 3.5 to a 4. Been here three times within 6 months for good reason; Linen Hall has variety, quality, a nice atmosphere, and a convenient location. I spend a little over $18 including tip and tax every time I go, and that's only because I always order steak and 2 eggs any style. The steak is a little chewy for medium rare, but well spiced. Overall it's quite filling. Brunch at least also comes with a free drink (I quite enjoy their orange juice!), and though orders usually take about 20 minutes to arrive, service is pleasant and you get a large bottle of water so that you can refill yourself as needed. After trying the French toast and a couple of other dishes, I would dare to order anything. Seriously.

    Getting a reservation here is very hard. One just popped up in my Resy app for lunch though, so I…read morewent for it. It was my first time here although, it has been around for ages. The front part where you first walk in is the bar area with some tables. This restaurant is on the darker side and brings you back in time. Once you walk in further that is where the main dinning room is. This is also on the darker side as you can maybe tell by my photos. The wall paper and art around the restaurant is cool and there are some monkey statues around the restaurant. I was seated in a corner table in a booth area that seemed to be for at least 2-3 people. I thought for sure they would seat me at the bar area. I had a wonderful waitress whose name I think was Taylor but I could be wrong. I ordered the Monkey bread to start off with. It's a very buttery bread with truffle and parm cheese on top. I have alot of allergies and I was searching online if I could even have truffles as I have a nut allergy. So, I asked the waitress and she said she had never heard this. But, she came back to me and told me that White truffle grows near or like over where Almonds grow from but that, they don't use white truffle so I was all good. Well, this was super nice of her to check for me. I had no idea she was going to do this. She said the restaurant has strict protocols when it comes to food allergies. I then got for my main dish the double cheese burger with onions and pickles. To drink I had the cucumber martini. WOW everything was pretty darn good!! I passed on dessert. If you get a chance or a reservation pops up in your resy to go, even if it is for lunch..I highly say go for it.

    From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone for the entire experience. Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.

The place was beautifully decorated…read more We had a pre-fixed Thanksgiving meal so I'm not sure what the regular menu is like but I'm sure it's just as good. We ordered two fish dishes (salmon and swordfish) and they were both delicious. The only thing I didn't really like was the rolls were ice cold and so was the butter. Wasn't something I was excited to eat on a cold Thanksgiving evening.

Got a cozy window seating and loved the ambiance thanks to their floral interiors along with holiday ligthing right next to our table. Noise levels on the quiet side and easy to have conversations. They have a decent kids menu, and the Chicken Fingers ($10) were perfect for our little one. Huevos Rancheros ($19), and Vegetarian Omelette ($19) which was served with home fries and tossed salad was a good portion. Kimbo Coffee ($4.25) was actually pretty good although would've loved it to be warmer. Refills were slow to come. Food was inline with our expectations. Food arrived within 8-10 mins of placing our order, so yeah, really quick! Our initial server/waiter wasn't that attentive but their crew members were definitely more alert. Overall, pretty decent experience.

Walking in, it's a stunning restaurant and on this night, not too crowded which made us wonder why they would seat us next to the servers station away from dozens of much nicer tables. Note that I booked through Open Table where I have Gold status which I thought meant you get a better table. Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two. For dinner I had the Yemeni Au Police Kebab, Filet Mignon which was absolutely delicious. The peppercorn Hawaii really sweetened the meat's flavor. So high marks for the steak. My wife had two small dishes which she wasn't as thrilled with, Grilled Artichokes which were too dry for her liking and Manti, which she liked. Main takeaways. Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.
