    Mozzarella Sticks
    Matt S.

    Came here for dinner and drinks before a show and the service and speed were both excellent. The bartenders and waitstaff were very friendly and accommodating and our food and drinks were both served very quickly. The mozzarella sticks were amazing and the burgers we got were average. The environment is casual and relaxed with a modern pub theme. Would definitely return!

    Came here for drinks with friends. We were seated right away. It was like 10 of us and the waitress was very attentive. She took our orders and no one waited long for their food or drink. I had a beer and honey sriracha wings. The beer was served cold just how I like it. The wings came out hot and fresh. They were very flavorful and not overly saucy. The spice level is below average for me so your tongue won't be burning. I would go back there just for that. Their peppers were good too. It's a good hangout spot for afterwork and service was great.

    Turtle Bay Tavern is a solid joint! We enjoyed a delicious dinner, opting for a booth in the back of the restaurant. We shared the shishito peppers, followed by the spicy rigatoni and tavern burger. The french fries that accompanied the burger were perfection. Overall Turtle Bay Tavern delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. Repeat customer for sure!

    Cute bar! Cute location! Tons of seating! It was pretty dead which is nice if want to have conversations. Great music played! Service was mediocre. Server made us feel rushed and didn't check on us unless we called him to our table. It was only us and 4 other people in the place. This seems to be common in New York places? Once we ordered, the food was great! We ordered the burger and the nachos. The burger was very tasty!

    Old fashioned

    In town staying nearby. Came to see the final four game. Lots of TVs available to watch the game. Wasn't crowed so service was quick and attentive. No complaints from the group on drinks. This is me being picky but would have liked a large single ice cube for old fashioned vs multi ice cubes.

    Such a great bar seeing and drinking!! Perfect space and very air, great crowed , lightning just perfect! Bar itself beautiful, great selection of spirits, very handsome Irish guys working the bar, but the cocktails and food even better than I just had mentioned everything above. I love that is just few steps from my house. They will see me very often!

    Nachos

    Rockin' new spot in Midtown East pouring cold pints and serving hot tasty food. The aesthetic lends a sense of cleanliness that I really appreciate. I was very impressed with their classic pub burger, and the chili nachos were also satisfying (could've used maybe a little more cheese and chili though). I received great service from the bartender and was amused by the sports event happening on TV; some kind of modern day chariot racing? Prices are average for the neighborhood, so not cheap, but I was happy with what I got for my money.

    This neighborhood spot is so great. We went recently and it was decorated so beautifully for the holidays. The service was great and the food was so tasty. This place definitely gives slightly elevated tavern vibes but still casual and a great place to hangout. Can't wait to go back!

    chicken & waffles
    Nicole G.

    The service was awesome, we went right before the rush for brunch started and they got all our meals out timely! the chicken and waffles and avocado toast were the favorites at the table + the mozz sticks. Surprisingly the burgers were disappointing which was unexpected for a tavern. The ambiance is what you'd expect with a tavern/pub type place with most tables being high tops which I don't prefer.

We…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the new Aegean menu, which featured drinks inspired by countries by the Mediterranean Sea. 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.

    Stopped in here for after-work drinks with some friends and loved the vibe! This has been on my…read morelist to visit for a while now and I honestly didn't realize how closeby it is! 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 :)

    One of my friends and I were looking to grab a drink before calling it a night. She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. 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.

The well-crafted cocktails present thoughtful riffs on the classics, inventive without being showy. While the dim lighting and intimate atmosphere practically beg for a secret rendezvous (there's an ostrich involved), I met up with a friend for the decidedly unscandalous purpose of doing our intention setting for the year over libations and nibbles. I opted for a pastel sour while my companion asked for a drink called The Last Word - it was no longer on the menu but they obligingly made it for us anyway. The menu consists of mostly small plates and is seafood forward, but we shared a petite dish of steak frites, tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. Our server was very sweet but service was slow on the night, and by the time we received our utensils the food was cold. However we were not rushed and were able to linger a bit to finish our conversation. For those who savor finely concocted cocktails paired with fresh raw bar offerings in a salon-like setting, this is the spot for you.
