    The 86 Waldorf Salad

    The Eighty Six, was ridiculously fun with some great bites. Not as scene-y as its sister restaurant, The Corner Store, but just as memorable and difficult to get in LOL. Cocktails were interesting like a bread and butter martini or olive oil old fashioned. And everyone on staff makes you feel like someone special. I wanna go back already Favorite bites: - lobster spaghetti alla scampi - croquettes with French onion cream and osetra - au jus braised mushrooms - compressed pineapple - banana pudding trifle

    This is my second review of this spot because it's honestly just so so good! It's so cozy and feels like you're on the Orient Express , transported into the dreamiest location. Pure perfection. Even though it feels so exclusive, the staff make you feel like you are part of their family. So helpful, from the second you step inside. The Olive Oil Old Fashioned was still my favorite drink even though the Last Word was spectacular as well. Our friends agreed that the Dirty Martini was the best they've had. We fasted all day just to be able to eat a little bite of most of the menu items. I've been dreaming about the corn and the steak and it was just as good as I remembered. 100/10 for every aspect of this experience. Kudos to Claude our server.....just amazing.

    Food is Phenomenal like amazing everything was unbelievable! The service was incredible my waiter was legit the best ever! The ambiance is like no other in the city there's so much history and the waiters are very very knowledgeable and explain everything to you! It was truly an amazing experience.

    So where do I begin?! I thought that The Eighty Six was going to be one and done for me (been there, done that), but I was so wrong. The Eighty Six is almost perfect. The room is beautiful, the cocktails are great and food is amazingly delicious. The truly defining aspect of The Eighty Six is the incredible service. It was a wonderful experience and we will be back.

    Absolutely INCREDIBLE!! I don't think there is a better restaurant in the city. From the green door opening to stepping inside the swanky yet chic decor was fabulous. The whole place is a vibe with an excellent crowd. The history behind the establishment alone was pretty wild. The service was Beyond and we thank Leigh so much for everything, she is such a delight. The martinis were flowing through the night and I recommend all of them. The pickles In the beginning are a great digestive. We are still thinking about the shrimp as well as the lobster pasta. The caviar churros are a must order. Honestly the entire menu is a must order. This brand simply understands the perfection execution of hospitality.

    The Eighty Six, a relatively new restaurant (opened five months ago) by the same group behind The Corner Store blew away expectations! I snagged a 4:30 reservation on DoorDash where tables are reportedly dropped daily (not sure if at a specific time) and they also allow for walk-ins at the bar. The restaurant has an unassuming entrance in Bedford st and you're welcomed into a small entry room for check-in. The staff were all so welcoming, charismatic and engaging, introducing all of them and chit-chatting, getting to know us and was one of the most personalized dining experiences I've had with the team - shoutout to Don and Claude! The dining area has mild-moderately lit lighting and decor giving off Great Gatsby-McKittrick Hotel vibes with plush, comfortable booths and chairs. Claude was so helpful in providing recommendations and portions and all of his delivered. For drinks they have diverse options and cocktails ranging from classics to their own takes - I went an olive oil old fashioned that was spectacular. They have extensive wine options and by the glass. For food, we started off with complimentary pickles seasoned and one with wasabi, which was a refreshing, stimulating starter. We then got the potato croquettes topped off with caviar and filled with cheese - so delicious and the ingredients complimented and contrasted each other great. Next we got the Japanese madai, gentler on the palate but fresh and delicious sashimi well-prepared. For entree we got the porterhouse for two with green beans and corn pot pie as sides. The porterhouse was fantastic, cooked perfectly to medium rare as requested and just a ton of flavor with nice char and paired with their preferred sauce. The corn pot pie is a must-get and was an explosion of flavor with each bite - creamy, rich, and strong flavors. The green beans had nuts which offered a nice texture contrast and was a gentler dish to round out the steak. We got a glass of red each - Barda and Chianti - that went great with the porterhouse. For dessert we got the strawberry cheesecake that is truly one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had - such strong, sweet, rich flavor and a thicker-than-usual crust which I really appreciated and the strawberries were all fresh. Overall a fantastic meal and well-worth the visit, will definitely return and recommend for any kind of visit - casual dinner, date, birthday, anniversary!

Adding the egg was such a great touch -- it took an already amazing burger to another level. To make the night even more memorable, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was a thoughtful gesture and really elevated the experience. The ambiance was young, trendy, and full of energy without feeling overwhelming. The vibe made it feel like the kind of place you want to stay awhile, enjoy good food, and celebrate special moments. Service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was attentive, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Tables are a little close together but it was ok. We got the double cheeseburger with egg, fried bologna, and fries w/aioli sauce. Fries were perfect and loved the sauce - would get the fries everytime. The fried bologna was good but salty - needed to get a coke to help cut through it. The cheeseburger was delicious. I have been to the one in chicago before and so wanted to try the NYC location. We tried the matcha lemonade - tasted more like just lemonade - would not get this again. Friendly staff and would come back! Great place to bring out of towners.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

I was impressed by the chunks of pastrami throughout. Very hearty and very delicious! My husband indulged in the Nova Benedict. They packed on the lox. He didn't even finish but found it amazingly delicious. Service was okay. Nothing too spectacular. I almost felt an inconvenience to the server but we didn't have a fussy order nor was it busy (we ordered before the rush). Maybe she was preparing for the rush. Lol either way, it wouldn't stop me from returning.

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear
