    I came here for a bday one evening, and we had a great time. There's a front section of the bar with lots of high top seating and a private room in the back (where the birthday was held). For birthdays, it's (I believe) a $1k spending minimum. Service was good here and the vibes were great. Just wish there was better AC--especially in the private room.

    If you're looking for a party space in NYC, this could be the place. Vig Bar has an awesome room in the back where I hosted my 30th bday and we had THE BEST time! The disco ball made the room come to life and the tables looked new, seating was comfortable and spacious, kept clean, etc. We brought in decorations to set up right at 6pm, and Mark the room manager was super helpful throughout the night, especially when it was time to go at 9pm. We didn't have to worry about popping all the balloons and taking down the signs we put up. Thanks again Mark & team! Bonus points: They made it easy to order delicious classic pizza from Lombardi's, just what we needed to keep the night going!

    I came here on a Friday date night with my fiancé, and it was a time. The vibes were on point, and the DJ was playing the perfect mix of music that kept the energy high all night. The space is small, but it has a cozy, intimate feel that really adds to the atmosphere. I'll definitely be back, especially with their drink + shot deals.

    Came here before dinner for a quick drink. I ordered a pornstar martini and Avery, our bartender, made an exquisite beverage. She's an effortless one, and I'm quite picky with a good martini. The bar was fun, lively and overall a swell time. Would definitely come back. Thanks Avery!

    I came here with a friend at the advisory of her friend, who was DJ'ing a party there. I didn't know what exactly to expect but it was cool. Most of the crowd was young, like early to mid twenties, NYUish crowd. The staff was pretty chill, and God bless them, helpful with my need to help my friend feeling a bit ill. Ambiance-wise, its like a dive bar with a more polished finish. The facilities/restroom was okay, and the well-positioned seating was appreciated. The biggest stand out in there was the artwork. From the retro ads to the modern/Americana Star Wars piece by the bar, I was enamored.

    Went here for free comedy while perusing through the neighborhood after dinner! Must buy a drink to get into comedy session, which is fine by me since one usually gets a drink for the comedy show anyways. It was a packed room at the end of the bar, where it seems like a typical bar, but the end room, everyone can see each other. Our session had like a 10 to 1 guy ratio. It was pretty fun and I have never experienced a comedy session like that. Funny comedians and got some laughs in between.

    Tequila sunrise... they were ok. Could've used a bit less OJ.

    Came here on a Thursday evening just past Happy hour. There was a comedy show advertised but by the time we arrived it was over. Will try again, another time. Ambiance is nice. We didn't step behind the velvet curtain to the back room. But the front bar is comfy and warm. Inviting. Music was low so it's more of a conversation spot than dance/bar/dive lounge which is what we were hoping for anyway. I'm not sure if it turns up at some point we were there around 8pm on a Thursday. My partner and I had Tequila Sunrise with casamigos $14 each. They were ok. They don't appear to serve food, I wasn't offered a menu or anything. Bathroom (I used the one without the urinal) was Tiny and dirty. It seems like a nice hangout spot with a diverse crowd mix. We would stop by again for drinks and try to catch a comedy show.

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.

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.
