Chicken Meatballs
Randy W.

Visited NY for a couple days and Miss Nellies was around corner from hotel. Made a reservation even though I do not think it was necessary on this Monday night. I had inquired earlier about dress attire and was told loose business casual which we found was correct when we saw patrons dressed in blue jeans and tennis shoes. We were seated immediately in the dimly lite dinning area. Upper walls are decorated/drapped with rugs which is a good idea for sound deadening. Lighting is very dim which made our menu reading a little trying. Our waitress was right with us asking what type of water we wanted. We got that settled and then ordered some drinks. We did not order any appetizer as we had been walking City munching thru the day. My wife ordered chicken meatballs over a pasta, broccolini, tomato field. The meatballs were stuffed with mozzerella cheese. Her dish was very flavorful. I ordered crispy chicken pieces with sweet/spicy sauce and buttermilk aoili. This dish was very good as chicken stayed crispy as the sauce was poured on plate before chicken. The waitress and chef were accomodating to a slight food tolerance re: the pepper flakes which were to be on her plate. Our waitress checked on us several times during our stay. BTW, we were celebrating an anniversary, which I let them know ahead, and we were presented with a card congratulating us. We had a comfortable time and would return.

Post theatre "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" dinner in Theatre District on a August Sunday at 5:10 pm. On a whim, I enter without reservation, without judgment, without expectation and without a wait. Miss Nellie's is a very relaxed casual atmosphere. Dark and very low lighting. At the entrance there is a mural of a large red hot air balloon depicting Jules Verne's novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" which I actually enjoyed this novel. I also admire this mural. Customer service is attentive as I was greeted by the hostess upon entry in a bar parlor style foyer area. I did not lie in wait for a table. I was promptly seated at a high table with a high chair in the dark. I did not need a booth. I was willing to be seated at the bar counter. It contains vintage tin ceiling tiles. Facilities are relatively clean. Double Smash burger $26.00 Features two thin, crispy beef patties immersed in iceberg, pickles, caramelized onions, American cheese, special sauce with French fries The burger was average as I did engulf within minutes to satisfy my hunger pangs. There were minimal lettuce and seemingly no pickles. Intimate and casual atmosphere does not make the optimal lighting for visual assessment. This very low lighting does not make the most opportune conditions for food photography either. Ergo, every table contains a candle lighted which I actually used as a source of light when reviewing the printed menu. Yes, there is a printed menu that you can actually hold in your hands. My male server stated "it is really not two patties, but it is one large patty separated into two." Truth: it is two thin beef patties. The burger meat was very average, but not juicy filled with intense flavor for seasoning and moisture. Truffle parmesan fries is an option, but I decided traditional classic French fries. The French fries were somewhat burnt because it was hard. The condiments provided were ketchup and mayo sauce. I prefer crinkle cut fries. I engulfed my meal within mere minutes because I inadvertently skipped breakfast and lunch leading to hunger pangs. No comment for alcohol as I did not order any. No comment for non-alcoholic drink as I also did not order any. At the bottom of the sales receipt there is a suggested gratuity in intervals of high intensity extortionate 25%, 22% and 20% where customers do not have to perform math calculation. I did obtain my sales receipt as keepsake. My payment method was cash. Business cards are available for grabs.

One of my disappointing eats on this trip. I made a reservation on a Sunday night and it was not busy at all. A reservation is not required, but recommended for some days. I ordered the Coconut Crusted Halinut and the rest of the group ordered the Lemon Ricotta Tortellini and the Chicken Parm Meatballs. We also ordered a Nellie's Chopped salad and Heirloom Carrots to share. Salad tasted strange, carrots were not soft. Group liked their entrees at least. Halibut was good, but it was definitely lacking something. Waiter and front table were sweet. Since we were celebrating, they were nice enough to give dessert on the house and gift a celebratory card for the one celebrating. Dessert we thought wasnt overly sweet and was just enough for 4 people.

First time and won't be my last. You can tell upon entry that this place is very trendy. Didn't order a cocktail but will have to next time. They look so fun! The food is great for sharing. The orzo salad was GREAT! I would order again. The lobster rolls were fine as were the eggplant chips.

Chicken sandwich
Rits M.

This place is super cute! I loved all the wall decor and it's a lovely place for a girls lunch. They have small intimate tables and some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Even the salt and pepper were in cute ceramic lemons. The wait staff was really helpful to make decisions on what to choose and they brought us whatever we needed quickly. We tried the crunchy tuna tartare and the chicken sandwich, both amazing. The drinks were v fab too I had an elderflower Spritz and my friend had the margarita. Definitely recommend it and will be back

A must visit while in New York when going to the theatre or just looking to have a great dining experience. Miss Nellie's has beautiful decor and charm. Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the Filthy Martini. So good! The blue cheese stuffed olives were delicious. Brunch Menu. My main dish, I went with the double smash burger. Upgraded the fries to parmesan truffle fries. It was delicious! I would like to come back again, especially to try the dinner menu. Overall, great experience, and very satisfied.

Such a fun surprise. Croquettes. Oysters. Strip steak and pasta. So good! Service was awesome and super fun.

Nice place to stop for a drink and food before or after a Broadway show. I love the decor and vibe since it is dark and chill. Service was friendly but super slow. Drinks were good but overpriced. My mom and I shared an order of chicken bites and an order of meatball. Both had good flavor but the meatballs were pretty dry.

Smashburger
Bridgette Z.

3.5 rounded up to 4. Beautiful restaurant and ambiance, and the service was great! We went for brunch on a Saturday and had a mostly good experience with the food. We started with the bee pollen pancakes and the banana bread. The banana bread was underwhelming and expensive for the small portion you get. The pancakes were fantastic and perfect for sharing. The BEC sandwich was alright, but the smash burger was the best bite by far. We were not impressed with the short rib benny, it was lukewarm and lacking flavor. Overall a very good brunch and we would definitely come back.

We had some time to kill before a jazz show at Birdland, so decided to check out Miss Nellie's. From the street, the space looked dark and moody with a speakeasy vibe. Stepping in, this swanky atmosphere was confirmed. Miss Nellie's is quite spacious with a front and back bar. I enjoyed a birthday pour of Johnnie Walker Green, served over a large rock that was stamped and embossed with the venue's logo. So cool! My wife enjoyed an "Above the Clouds" craft cocktail - with a butterfly pea-infused gin. The presentation was elevated by an artistic bubble applied over the cocktail that dissipated into vapor with the touch of a finger. The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and outgoing! They made sure that I was well taken care of for my birthday. It was such a great experience that we returned for another round after the jazz show. Thank you for the hospitality Miss Nellie's!

Comfort food in a comfortable setting The cocktails are good. The menu offers a number of tasty options. The service is attentive.

Located right in Times Square, minutes from the theatres, Miss Nellie's is a good spot for a pre show dinner. Our server was kind and spunky. The cocktails are good, our appetizers were delicious, but the entrees fell a little flat. I had the cauliflower entree and I was served an entire head of cauliflower, the flavors were good but nobody needs to eat that much cauliflower in one sitting. Highly recommend the peach toast app. Service was quick, which is favorable before a broadway show. They have a modern photobooth, which is a fun touch as well.

The food was delicious, portions could have been larger, the drinks were a hit and the environment was the best part! Such cozy vintage vibes and the PHOTOBOOTH Service was a bit slow at first, but our server was great once it got started.

It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

The unmarked entrance and doorbell immediately set the tone, and once inside it feels like you stepped out of Manhattan and into a dark, old New York cocktail lounge. The velvet seating, curtains, low lighting, and little private nooks make the whole place feel intimate without being gimmicky. That atmosphere is very much intentional. The Chelsea location is the original Raines Law Room and is built around that hidden speakeasy experience. The cocktails were beautifully presented, and I liked that this felt like a place where you could actually sit with friends and have a conversation rather than compete with loud music. We also ordered some meat, cheese, olives, and crackers for the table, which was perfect alongside the drinks without turning the night into a full dinner. What stood out most to me was how cohesive everything felt. The drinks, glassware, lighting, service style, and decor all fit the same mood. It feels refined and special without trying too hard. Pay special attention to the bathroom wall art. Definitely not an inexpensive night out, but for a true New York cocktail bar experience, I thought Raines Law Room was absolutely worth visiting. This would be especially good for a date night or drinks with a small group.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space. Our plan was to get wine and a cheese board however, the kitchen was closed due to a family emergency. We could only order chips or bar nuts with our drinks. Disappointing but what can you do? 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. I went for the Strange Magic which was citrusy and refreshing. I'll definitely be back to visit again and hopefully next time will get the cheese board :)

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.

Now the not so good. We had a reservation. We arrived on time. And we were told the people before us were still hanging out at our table. Cool, so what exactly did we reserve? We waited forever. If you take reservations and serve food, a time limit on tables is not a wild concept. Other restaurants figured this out ages ago. Meanwhile the poor host has to break this news to guests over and over, which is not their fault. Change the policy. Thats a policy problem, not a staff problem. The saving grace? The bar. We ended up waiting there FOREVER and the drinks were fab and the bartenders were great. They deserve better than the reservation policy they're working with. Come for the cocktails. Maybe don't count on your reservation meaning anything.
