First time visiting this romantic lounge. I came mostly for the showcase. Despite the reviews I didn't feel pretentious vibes. The menu is over priced with a hefty table reserve price I opt-out of. It's located next to the entrance of moxy and can easily be missed at night. I was suggested a table which I don't think includes the expensive food and drinks. I declined however they offered complimentary coat check which I used. If you have cash, tip coat check worker. The staff were nice all around. This venue is very dim, if need vision help, bring them. The decor is minimalistic and chic with a dim WC in the rear of lounge. The stage is small but the bands/artist performing managed and gave a spectacular show. Artist that performed; Breaker, Bec Lauder, and The Living Roomers. Listen to their catalogs on most streaming services. I can understand why this place can be pretentious. It's New York and not every business caters to everyone. That's ok, if this lounge is your vibe, visit. But be advised, the menu is sparse.

Our lonely empty table.

For the record: We were sat, but waited 25 min for ZERO service. Now, with that said, I am willing and excited to give this business ONE MORE chance. The vibe, on point! The drink options, so sad I wasn't able to grab a drink! And some food items, same as the drinks! Overall, my first experience, severely disappointing... One year later, I'm HOPING, I'll get served!

Had a most marvelous time celebrating a good friend's US debut (Nina Brand of South Africa) at this wonderful venue. The vibe was electric, spearheaded by Tim Young on piano. Staff were attentive, and quick to deliver delicious cocktails! Will definitely be back with the wifey and friends, as this is a VERY fun spot to come and hang!

Love the recent surge in piano bars and lounges that have been popping up throughout the city! The vibes and decor in Silver Lining Lounge were dim and cozy, perfect for date night. My date and I arrived for an 8pm reservation on a Wednesday night. Upon seating, our hostess informed us we only have 90 minutes and performances don't start until 9pm. We ordered 2 rounds of drinks and the king salmon pillows to munch on as we wait to catch a bit of the music. The drinks, while creative and sweet, were not very memorable. The king salmon pillows consisted of 5 small puff pastries bites topped with a sliver of king salmon and jalapeño - not worth the $28 price tag. The performance didn't start until 9:15pm so we were only able to enjoy 15 min of the music before we were rushed out with the check. While I would return with a later reservation to enjoy more of the music, I'm not eager to come back so soon.

Sup rising my decent sushi - the Katsu nuggets are SO good too

Such a perfect place to spend a Friday night if you love to just sit, and listen to great live music. The setting is gorgeous. The menu is perfect and definitely keeps you from leaving for a bite. Absolutely loved the Katsu nuggets! If you try one thing make it the nuggs. We hung out for about 3 hours and our lovely waitress as well as the main hostess/floor manager took great care of us throughout the night. Soooo looking forward to coming back! And Tim Young is AMAZING!

Perfect romantic date spot! I came here on a Friday night for an 8:30pm reservation with my Fiancé and we had the best time. Music started at 9p and they give you a 90min table reservation but it was perfect for us since we had 30ish min to order our first round of drinks and talk a bit before the music started. The piano man was amazing and he was so funny and interactive and took song requests including my song request for Miley Cyrus flowers. He sang it beautifully! The drinks are on the pricier side around $23 but they were well made and the service and vibes were great. They also serve food as well (my fiancé ordered sushi). I also liked that we were able to grab another drink at the bar after our time was up. The only thing I could say that could have been better was that there was just one bathroom so there was quite a bit of a line at times.

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

Thank goodness we FOUND paradise LOST. You ring the doorbell, and are buzzed in to be put on the…read morelist. For my group of 2, it was approximately a 25 minute wait on a Saturday at 7. We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

It was on a weekday, the day of NBA Finals Game 3 when everyone else were at bars & lounges getting ready for the game to start. This afforded us a beautiful and tranquil experience at Osamil Upstairs. Hidden behind a locked door inside Osamil, it's a spot you have to seek out to get in. After we shared we were going to Osamil Upstairs, the hostess from Osamil promptly unlocked the unmarked door for us to head upstairs to Osamil Upstairs. Had other customers not come out as we were walking up the stairs, we might have passed the entrance to Osamil Upstairs and continued upward! Much like what you might expect of a speakeasy, it's well-hidden, and the interior just blows the mind. It's elegant, beautiful, and comfortable. The drinks were good. My cheese in the trap was smokey (as promised!) and alcohol forward. My hubby had the Jung cocktail and it had the most magical, delicious combination of flavors! We also ordered a foie gras with toast appetizer as a pre-dinner snack; it was OK. All in all, a really pleasant experience and we'd return if we were in the area again!
