    This venue is the biggest rip off in New York. Beware buying "VIP" tickets. They are VIP as far as being close to the stage. That's where it ends. When I bought the tickets, GA was sold out. VIP was the only option. Two weeks later suddenly GA tickets appeared available, very sketchy. The tables are smushed together, and the seats are all right up against each other. You will be sitting in basically strangers laps the entire time. We sat at the end of our table and half our bodies were off the table as the table was over stuffed. The food is a price gouging atrocity. $30 for a burger, and $33 for pasta PLUS $12 extra for you want meat! The cocktails are $20 and up. Wine was more reasonable at $15. The food was not disgusting but also nothing ground breaking or worth $30. Service was fine but they are stretched thin. Received our food 10 minutes before our drinks. Not sure if the space is ADA friendly as I did not see an elevator and there's a long staircase leading downstairs. Coat check if you need it but I didn't see any one working it. The space is very pretty itself. Bathrooms have attendants and multiple stalls. Would not return for any event in VIP due to the atrocious seating. Might consider returning with a GA ticket since those tables seem more spaced out.

    Went to see destiny child imagined ft Matthew Knowles. The show was fabulous and the service was immaculate. Food and drinks were decent nothing to write home about. Only qualm I had was with the long wait time to get into the venue. It was very cold and the line wrapped around the block.

    Small and cramped. Definitely a fire hazard coming in and leaving. Cant speak on the bathrooms or bar service, as I just wanted to see the show and leave. The sound was also not good! Weird echo like, not sure if it was the venue or the artist.

    Cozy yet appropriately spaced venue. I came here for a concert and truly enjoyed myself. You can order food and drinks while you're here. They also have seating around the perimeter of the room.

    Beautiful venue for intimate shows. The layout makes it easy to socialize, and everyone feels included no matter where they're seated. I had a seat front and center, which gave me a great view of the entire space; there's really no bad seat in the house. I liked the cozy couch sections along the sides, perfect for groups. For this particular show, there was a $20 minimum spend, which wasn't hard to hit. Drinks alone cleared that. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed at times, but they handled it with as much grace as possible. I would have expected the number of ticket sales to help determine appropriate staffing. The performance itself was fantastic, one of my favorite artists! I'm only withholding one star because getting to the venue felt like I walked five stories underground. I wondered if we were beneath the subway, lol!

    Jeremy Piven brought down the house. Packed sold out show. Awesome food and drinks with comfy seating. Great sound system, no bathroom lines, great service. Very organized venue.

    Very comfortable live music venue The room is attractive and the seating is comfortable, particularly if the show is not sold out. The cocktails were disappointing, which probably contributed to the feeling that the drinks and food were overpriced. The burger was acceptable. The service was attentive.

    not a terrible venue, but a little scummy with the pricing. I have bought VIP tickets for an event. I was seated further away from the stage, then general admission. When I brought this up, they told me this is where they see the VIPs. I understand that I have a less obstructed view as I don't have to look over people's heads, but it would've been nice to just be physically closer to the main event. Additionally, they had a $20 processing fee for the tickets which I did not like a $20 per person ordering minimum if you are seated. They sold standing room tickets, but it made no sense because the whole venue is seated with tables. The food itself was decent and overpriced, but that is the norm for Manhattan. They did not have a list of non-alcoholic drinks I don't like either but that's more of a me thing. This is one of those venues that do not list the prices of things on their website so I made sure to take pictures of the menu as there was none on yelp. I apologize for the red lighting, but they never turned on all the lights during my event.

    We ended up here because we saw the espresso machine and one of us wanted lattes and the rest wanted martinis. We were the only people in the bar which was actually kind of nice. The bartender was a little confrontational when we asked what coffee drinks could make but then she ended up relaxing and was very nice. They had tvs on with games but not the Rangers, although they were in. They also had a gaming system set up to play Mortal Combat at the bar. One of us has tuna tartare and it was very good and a large serving. The latte was really good and the espresso martinis were as good as it gets. The bathroom is down in the Sony Music Hall, about 6 flights and was dark and really warm. I'd recommend bringing a buddy to go. They did have a nice tribute to Sony history which was pretty cool. Low key, good bar. We'd go back.

    Ok. Here goes. I've been to Sony Music Hall on two occasions thus far. I think it's a really cool spot to check out a band perform. I'm not an expert on sound. But, to my layman's ears, I had zero complaints. The wait staff wear nice uniforms, are easily accessible since there are a good number of them servicing the patrons sitting down at the tables. And, in my case, my wait staff Karen G, never made my friend and I feel rushed when she took our order. She did a great job. So, kudos to her. My friend and I each ordered drinks and an entrée. Food was great. Drinks were great. The band sounded great. And up until now I was definitely planning on leaving a five-star review on Yelp! So, the deal breaker happened when the server handed me the receipt for our meal. As I scanned over the paper receipt, I felt something was amiss. I had pre-calculated in my head what my total bill'd be even before Karen (the sever) handed me the final printed receipt. When she handed me the printed receipt, I parsed and scanned each line only to be shocked to see that an 18% *Suggested Gratuity* had been added to my bill. Had I seen that charge on the server's handheld POS, I would definitely not have added additional gratuity (Not that the server didn't deserve it. But that I'm under a tight budget right now). After having discovered that the 18% *Suggested gratuity* had been automatically added to my bill, I motioned to Karen (our server) for her to come to our table. I told Karen that had I known that there was an automatic 18% gratuity added, that I would have not added additional gratuity on top of the 18%. She assured me that there was in fact mention of the 18% *Suggested Gratuity* on her handheld POS when she had handed it to me for me to look over the charges. I'm very thorough when reviewing documents. So much so, that I even informed Karen (our server) that had I known there was an automatic 18% added to dine-in customers, that I would not have added additional gratuity. I also mentioned to our server that automatic 18% or higher gratuity is typically for parties of six or more, sometimes at some establishments, for parties of four or more. But, never have I seen automatic 18% gratuity being charged for a party of two people. Now, that being said, if this was an oversight on my part, I will gladly change my Yelp! rating from a four to a five star. If I receive (via an email message) a screen shot of the handheld POS indicating that an 18% *Suggested Gratuity* will be automatically charged, then I will change my rating from a 4 to a 5-star.

    Came here for a Jason Chenny show which was amazing! Venue looked super nice and show was funny and very enjoyable. Food (4/5): We got the burger with fries which was large and quite filling. The food options was relatively basic American food and was rather overpriced but the burgers we got were at least well made. Service (5/5): Food came out fast and because we came early they gave us really good seats in front of the comedian. They also checked up on us a good amount of times. Ambiance (4/5): Really nice interior and good layout for the show. Main improvement would be that they tried to cram too many tables and seats in a small area. Besides that the venue is super nice!

    Sony Hall is on W. 46th Street, located in Midtown Manhattan in the Theater District. It is near Times Square, close to hang-out spots & restaurants, including Lady Blue, which is one of my favorites. When you arrive at Sony Hall, there is typically Security at the front entrance, so they conduct a bag check, etc. & then you can either purchase tickets for any concerts, shows, or events that are scheduled to be held. Having visited Sony Hall several times throughout the years, the wait time between getting into the venue, staff scanning your tickets, and getting situated downstairs into the concert hall area has decreased significantly, which is appreciated. Sony Hall has beautiful lighting throughout the place. Cool lighting is everywhere. Even as one proceeds down the hallway to the bathroom, the bathroom is nicely lit, even in the concert hall area, near the stage, etc. Sony Hall is spacious enough w/ the option of VIP Seating as well as General Seating for specific events. There are some events that may have standing or a mixture of standing & seating room. One can order food & cocktails via the menu. Concerts / Shows viewed have included the following: Rappers Wale, Kemba, Jah Medicine & Fabolous w/ DJ Herbert Holler in 2018. Wale & Fabolous gave us an outstanding show & performed all their hits. Rapper Jeru The Damaja: Sun Rises in the East 25th Anniversary Concert w/ DJ Chuck Chillout in Feb. 2020. DJ Chuck Chillout played a fantastic set that included hip-hop, r & b, and reggae. DJ Premier made a guest appearance. Jeru was phenomenal! It was great hearing jeru the Damaja perform this classic album from beginning to end 25 years later.... Comedian Eartquake is one of my favorites & his show at Sony Hall in January of this year was so good. Earthquake is hilarious and had us laughing the entire time, which was much needed after a long day at work - lol. A nice way to end the evening! Sony Hall is open every day from 11am - 2am. Website - sonyhall.com Instagram - @sonyhall Sony Hall also has a YouTube channel.

    Been here 3 times. The venue is beautiful. I have to say last night for Melvin Seals the space was way too hot. Like you don't feel air conditioning at all. Every time I was there the seating/floor arrangement was different. If you pay for VIP seating you can possibly be sitting with a general adm ticket. Knowing that, I'd always get GA and hope for a seat. Also be aware that the tip is included in everything - bar or table. It's dark in there and hard to see the itemized bill. The scanner asks if you want to pay an additional 3 or 5%. (Something like that). The size of the spot is a bit less than half of Brooklyn bowl. As far as food we just had a corn salad which was bland. I'm also not thrilled about being that far underground but if there's a band playing that I love I'd go back.

    Nice stage and lighting

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The bar seating was plentiful and comfortable. There is plenty of space for people to stand behind the bar or a high top tables enjoying happy hour after work. If you go at 4:30 or 5, it's a bit calmer as the after work crowd trickles in. And as the evening went on, it started to get more and more packed, and it became a really lively vibe. After my friend left for another function, I stuck around a little bit longer for a little solo dinner. I had a glass of Prosecco off the happy hour menu followed by a dirty martini, and I did request to look at their full dinner menu because there was a couple items that I wanted to try. I wanted to try the duck Ragu and halloumi cheese, both of which were absolutely fantastic. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the duck Ragu was very comforting. I highly recommend both dishes. I ended up chatting with a woman sitting next to me who happened to work with select apertivo, and next thing I know one of the bartenders handed me a lovely bright cocktail to try on the house. It was a refreshing bubbly Barlume spritz that I'll definitely have to get again next time. Overall, I had a really great time at Barlume. The service was excellent from the servers and the bartenders, and they were all very attentive, personable and friendly throughout the evening. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or dinner with friends!

It's a small area with the tables pretty close together. We were given a table in the far corner, which was perfect for comfort and looking out at the restaurant. Two of us each ordered a glass of house wine, which were "ok." We opted for the Boqueria Experience, which is $65 per person and includes a variety of chef-selected tapas, a paella and an order of the restaurant's special JAMÓN IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA, which is described on the charcuterie menu as aged 48 months, with deep marbling, rich and nutty flavor. We enjoyed most of the tapas, including the potatoes, the beef/lamb balls, the salad and bruschetta. The croquettes were "ok" with the heavy aeoli masking some of the flavor. The seafood paella was good and was different from ones I've had in the past, with the caramelized layer on the bottom. Yum. Honestly, none of us was a big fan of the Jamon Iberico de Bellota. I'm sure it's special and luxurious, but we found it not to have much flavor. Frankly, it was a big disappointment for us. The service was beyond excellent. We were very pleased with the timing of the presentation of the meal, the superb water service and the general enthusiasm and pleasantness of the Staff. We will come back and try different items on the ala carte menu. I thought there would be more seafood and meat tapas offerings in the "Experience". Instead, it was a lot of cheese, vegetables, dates and bread. Although $65 per person likely was a good value for what we got, I think the tapas items were heavy on the lower cost tapas and that it wasn't a true top-of-the-line "Experience". A seafood dish or even a chicken dish (chicken wings) instead of one of the two croquette offerings would have helped.

I was told by my husband that I can't shave off a star for Chef Tom not being there himself. So, I won't. Fair enough. But I'm still hoping I catch him another time.

Awesome selection of menu, and drink best with a group gathering. Absolutely great vibe and easy-going, fun atmosphere. An amazing, impressive, elaborately designed, Victorian-Style bistro with a long marble bar for cocktails and American bites. An option weekend tea times, 11.00 pm-3.00 pm. Attention: present services are acceptable.

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.
