    Pork schnitzel with roasted potatoes
    Andrew M.

    Solid pub food with surprising homemade quality. I had the fixed price special and the made beef and vegetable soup was great. The main was a nicely friend not fatty pork schnitzel with a great mushroom gravy. I enjoyed the roasted tatties! Overall good meal and price was fantastic.

    this was one of the most disgusting place I've ever been the mozzarella sticks came out two minutes after I had ordered them and they tasted like they were microwave and frozen freezer burn frozen the martini even though I saw Tito that was Tito and then the margarita had no alcohol all acid never again stay away

    Shepherd's Pie and Blue Moon

    Food was decent. Group of 4 of us were on the rooftop section and the service was decent. Keep an eye on your bill cause they automatically added a 20% gratuity even though there was only 4 of us and the menu says it's 22% for a party of 6!

    Gosh, this is a solid pre-theatre spot. We were at immediately. The wait staff was very nice! The menu is a very tight and appropriate size. The food was very good. Better than I expected to be honest. The decor was all ready for Christmas which is early but I didn't mind at all. This will definitely be a go to before seeing shows in the area.

    This was a fun Irish/Celtic pub that we stumbled upon. I don't think it's the best Irish dig in the city, but it was fun nonetheless. The food was expensive for the portions they provided.

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Fries
    Steve S.

    Prior to seeing a Broadway Musical, my girlfriend and I came here on a Wednesday night, to have a drink and a meal before seeing our show. This place was only a few blocks away from where we were going, so it made sense to check it out. I liked how they had multiple levels of seating. We sat on the second level, and started off with some drinks. We tried the sangria special, and an IPA beer. The drinks were good. Standard NYC prices. I then ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with French Fries. This was a delicious meal. The chicken was a great spice level, and tasted great. The fries were seasoned well too. Overall, we had fun hanging out here for a bit.

    Chili surprise

    Placebos not like it used to be. I always went there for the shepherds pie. I received chili surrounded by mashed potatoes. Way to go. I make better Sloppy Joes

    Nice little pub by Times Square. It's a super cool concept as it has three different floors. The second floor has tables to eat and the third/fourth floor had bars. The fourth floor has a cool roof top bar. The service was fast and they had a good selection of beers/wines. The only con is the prices - $11 for a beer???

    Crab Cake Salad

    Going to a play across the street. Still found bar seating about an hour before the show. Super annoying drunk person beside us. Bartender and a patron both intervened and made sure that the person was made to leave. Food was okay and not memorable. Place got very busy around 7pm with a combination of theater crowd/bachelorette party/holiday celebrations (late November 2024).

    They are nice and friendly here. They take care of you as soon as you come in. The drinks are good but never very strong. I will be back to try some food

    This is not the place to go.... I am a true yelper and I believe Yelp helps both people and businesses worldwide. So I was very disappointed when I checked into this bar and a 6$ drink coupon popped up for me and when I showed the manager my phone and the Yelp coupon she looked and told me that she didn't have 6$ drinks at her bar, didn't even offer 6$ off a drink for me nothing. She should of honored that. I know it's only 6$ but it's not the point. I have money. It just made her business look bad. Honestly it was just a little 6$ Irish coffee whiskey drink and if she would of honored it without the bad attitude she would have more stars right now from me.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with champagne, which immediately set the tone for a special evening. Our server, Daniel, was beyond amazing. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our anniversary meaningful. It never felt forced just thoughtful, polished hospitality. The team went above and beyond when we brought our wedding cake (which had been frozen for a year). Not only did they accommodate it without hesitation, they helped decorate and present it beautifully you would have thought it had been baked that same day. It was such a touching moment for us, and they handled it with care and enthusiasm. As for the food: incredible. The steak tartare was perfectly balanced and beautifully prepared. The tuna was fresh and vibrant. And the Beef Wellington... honestly one of the best I've had in New York City. Perfectly cooked, rich, elegant, and absolutely worthy of a celebration dinner. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: romantic, warm, refined but relaxed. It felt special without being stiff. If you're looking for a place to celebrate something meaningful, this is it. We will absolutely return.

I found the hodgepodge of old-timey decor to be a bit kitsch, but to each their own. I came with a group on a weeknight with no reservation. We were seated immediately on a high wood table. Although the bar wasn't busy (there were plenty of empty spaces, small groups scattered throughout the area), the service was quite slow. The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint. I'm wary of vodka for its harsh, unpleasant taste, but I found this drink to actually be very pleasant, tasing like a fruit smoothie you'd get from a local juicer. There was also a burgundy drink served on a wine glass that tasted like the holidays. I liked that one quite a bit. Overall, Oscar Wilde was an okay experience. It's certainly a bar for a certain type of crowd, and the service was lacking, but maybe we went on a bad night. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be served better than we were.

Unfortunately, our server only heard that 5 of us wanted afternoon tea, and one of the tiers of food was smaller than the others. We also had to pay extra for additional tea, which we were fine with, but service was severely lacking throughout. Our server didn't check up on us, and seemed to want us to leave quickly after dropping off the check. We would have been happy to pay the $65 each for afternoon tea, but it wasn't worth it and frankly, I was agitated by the whole ordeal by the time I left. We were also disappointed by the food items (as they were lacking) and nothing about this was like other experiences we had with other afternoon teas. I can't in good faith recommend this place, nor do I see myself coming back after the atrocious service we experienced.
