Came in for a bite to eat at a spot open late enough on a Sunday night. I ordered the French onion soup and the shepherds pie. The French onion soup was super cheesy in a good way, but it was hard to bite without eating so much of it in one bite. The broth and onions though were not cooked and simmered all the way through, so I’ve had better. The shepherds pie was solid though I felt like the entire dish could have used more salt to bring out the flavors of the meat and the potatoes. Pretty good value though!

Great irish pub in the city! We went here to see the the druids - absolutely amazing! Can’t comment on the food as we didn’t have any. Place was bouncing but getting drinks didn’t seem to be a hassle. Band were brilliant and had a good crowd in.

The Irish Pub atmosphere really worked for me. I am a pot pie lover, and Connolly's knows how to make a pot pie! The crust was light and flaky, the sauce was creamy, and the chicken was tender. I tasted my kid's fries and burger and had almost wished I ordered that. The loaded nachos were large enough for two and an absolute delight! Our waiter was a gem! The host was very welcoming aswell. Convient 3-4 minute walk from Time Square main strip. Next time I'm in New York, I'll definitely visit again!

Delicious lunch in a warm, charming atmosphere. Shepard’s Pie and Chicken Pot Pie were delicious and perfect comfort food on a cold winter day. Also, our server was sweet and attentive. Will definitely return.

Attended a group lunch and was delighted with the environment and food choices. The special beef dish was divine. The salmon was also very good. The servers were great and made sure the food offerings were ample and attractive.

The food was delicious. I’m a New Orleans native and extremely picky about my seafood. The crab cakes were our favorite. Charles Preston is THE BEST waiter! He made me and my daughter feel so at home. The entire Staff was attentive! It is a MUST to visit!

This place was good. Oysters were premium and the fish was fresh. Service was good and the dine in experience was great. We had a nice romantic private seating in a round booth. I expected this place to be subpar due to the location being close to the touristy times square. It did not disappoint.

Beautiful place, really delicious food! You must try the butterscotch bread pudding dessert - it's heavenly. Reservations needed for more upscale seating on the 2nd level.

Restaurant staff were very helpful for dinner reservations for 5:15 on a Thursday for 4. We stayed at W where the restaurant is located. We ordered several cocktails and coffee along with sushi, appetizers, entrees and sides. Godzilla and Dragon sushi were great along with Bang Bang Shrimp. Loaded potato, asparagus and cauliflower sides were good. All 4 of us ordered the scallop entree, which comes with only 4 scallops (on the small side), microgreens and roasted street corn. The street corn was really good. The scallops were not. 2 out of the 4 entrees were under cooked along with the spices being a coated blanket ontop the scallops. They were not flavorful, the spice coating was a distraction and didnt taste well it was crusted given the appearance of being cooked, but the scallops were not. The coffee (ordered black) was weak and looked extremely light in color. It tasted like it was Keruig coffee pod that was already used. We were quite excited by the menu and atmosphere. Atmosphere was energetic with great decor. Loved the glass, jellyfish lights. The entrees disappointed based on taste and price point.

Steak was perfectly cooked. Medium Rare. The tuna tartare was delicious. The sides were okay. Great wine selection. The Del Frisco’s Cabernet Sauvignon was my favorite. Just didn’t like how the waiter poured the wine, I personally do not like when red wine is on a white table cloth. I felt the service at the bar was a lot better while we were waiting for our table to be ready. Waiter seemed overwhelmed. We were in the cellar level, maybe that’s why. I guess try to get a table on the ground level.

If you’re looking for an impeccable meal with amazing plating look no further. Our experience here was beyond phenomenal! From the moment you’re greeted you will feel special. Erik was our server and he was not only knowledgeable about parings and selections, but personable as well. Travis, the GM checked on us middle meal and made us feel special (and we watched him do this to many customers). The atmosphere and the creations of the Chef rank this as a 5 star! Make sure to come here and create memories! Del Frisco has it right all the way around! Be sure to notice, as well, everyone who compliments the wait staff. They have multiple people servicing your table. Simply a must go to place! So blessed! Travis, Erik and crew thank you for being so amazing! Best wishes for continued success

We just loved the place !! The food, ambience, interior, staffs, hospitality -- everything was perfect. We were looking for a nice place to have steak for weekend dinner and Del Frisco's reviews were found to be great to reserve a table. We were happy about the decision to stop by this beautiful place. The moment you enter, you will be made feel special. Foods were amazing! The entrée bread was freshly baked, the crabmeat was delicious, the prime ribeye was perfect done and so was the broccolini; lastly the tiramisu just melted in our mouth. Drinks were served wonderfully. Our server was extremely cordial and suggested good items. The staff in the toilet was ready to hand you towel as soon as you were done. Above everything the GM stopped by our table to know about experience, food quality, serving time etc which made us understood that they take care of customers well and opinions matter to them. Overall excellent dine-in experience. The place is very popular and almost full over the weekend so better to reserve a table beforehand.

Del Frisco’s has a great ambiance and location that makes you feel you’re going to have an amazing steak! But the results are not great at all. For the price you’re paying you can get a better steak almost anywhere. We had two different cuts (med-rare) and while 2/3rd of the steak was good the last 3rd of both had a lot of tough tendons or fascia that made it inedible. We even saw another table have the same issue and spit out the tough meat like we did. Even if the steak was not out of this world, I don’t expect this from a restaurant of this level. The staff was alright for the most part but when they asked if the food was good felt like a formality and not genuine care and by the time we could answer had already moved to another table. What was weird was we weren’t offered the bread and noticed other tables got it which felt a little off. If I go back it would only be for the crab fried rice and the butter cake. Overall, disappointing experience because even if they steak was to “taste” I atleast expect it to be a good cut, or the sever being concerned when you can see big chunks of uneaten food on the plate.

Just great. No ifs.... no buts.... Just a great overall experience Met at the door by the most friendly host. Really engaging whilst remaining professional and polite. All our servers were the same with a special shout out to Josh and the food. . . . Nothing short of exceptional I'd definitely give thus a 5 stats and recommend to anyone in the area

The staff and talent are wonderful, that's clearly the draw here. But the food is extremely overpriced. $25 for a veggie burger with no toppings. The cheese sauces are Velveeta, the whipped cream is cool whip, my point being that they aren't using any ingredients to justify the mark up, nor is the menu marked up to support the performers. You're still encouraged to tip the performers and gratuity is added to the bill. No matter how wonderful the performances are, it's an eating establishment FIRST. Paying over $30 for an unappetizing burger (an undercooked patty, might I add) is criminal. They are so popular, they can afford to mark up their food so why even bother to add premium ingredients or a special sauce? Tourists will eat whatever is put in front of them as long as they're in the presence of a potential star! Someone here has to have some dignity and self respect, either the tourists or the greedy business owners who seem to be exploiting their talent for a quick buck. **The service was bad, but honestly it's bad everywhere in this city. At least you're greeted with a smile and a wave here. Average service, but the food was so bad I didn't mind that the waiter neglected to take out order for the first 20 minutes of being seated.***

One of the highlights of the trip. We could have sat all day soaking up the atmosphere that the hardworking staff invoked. It really was wonderful. The food plates were abundant and served quickly. I could not help singing along and wish we could have stayed longer. The kids absolutely loved it and why visit a Broadway show when the quality of the performances in the diner were right up there to that standard. I have never experienced anything quite like it before but would highly recommend - even if, like us you have to queue in the rain to get in. Do it and you won't regret it!!

Had an absolute blast at Ellen's Stardust Diner on Broadway! 🌟 This place is not your ordinary diner; it's a whole experience wrapped up with a bow of nostalgia and Broadway flair. The singing and dancing waiters were just phenomenal - each performance was so engaging, it felt like a mini Broadway show with every order. Seriously, these talented folks could easily be on the actual Broadway stage - And some if not most of them will be! The time just flew by - I was so caught up in the performances, I hardly noticed how long we were there. And let's talk about the food for a sec - so, so good! Classic diner fare but with that extra touch of love that makes all the difference. The atmosphere was just buzzing with energy and excitement, making the whole dining experience unforgettable. I'm already planning my next visit back to Ellen's. If you're looking for a side of spectacular performances with your meal, this is the spot. Broadway magic plus delicious food? Count me in any day! 🎤🍔🎶

I almost didn’t wait in the line wrapped around the building but my aunt highly recommended it. Luckily, it went fast and the experience was one of my favorites over the weekend. One second our waitress was giving us our bill and then out of no where she’s singing Grease. Food was delicious and service was excellent.
Kikumi Phelps - in the last week

I've never been to Las Vegas, but this was such a Vegas-like experience. Unique and unforgettable. The singing was very good and there was a variety of songs to listen to. Something for everyone to enjoy. The wait wasn't too bad. Looked long, at first, but only took about 15-20 minutes. The food was great!! I got the cinnamon roll pancakes, and I wasn't really sure what to expect, but what I received was delicious.

My fiance and I decided to try into the Olive Garden on Monday. It was my first ever visit to this iconic American chain restaurant. When we arrived, we were warned of a possible wait, but were pleasantly surprised to be seated almost immediately which was great. Our waitress, Jilly, deserves special recognition for her exceptional service. She effortlessly guided us through the menu and ensured our meal was nothing short of perfection. She always ensured our drinks and breadsticks for top top, which was lovely. As for the food, the portions were beyond generous! Free breadsticks and soup were delightful extras, though hardly necessary given the size of the main courses. I opted for the Chicken Parmigiana, while my fiance indulged in the Prawn Alfredo, both of which were bursting with flavor and left us wanting more. Although some may find the food slightly on the salty side, we have found that with most of the food we have eaten here in America and I quite like it. You’re definitely make use of your unlimited refill, soft drinks though as you’ll need to quench your thirst. The value for money was great considering the quality and quantity of food we received. In summary, our first experience at Olive Garden was an absolute delight, thanks to the warm atmosphere, impeccable service, and mouthwatering dishes. It's safe to say we'll be returning for another taste on our next visit to the United States.

Delicious!! First timers from UK. Chicken Alfredo and cheese ravioli were both amazing. Portions are huge and great value for money

Food are average. I don’t like pasta dough and amount of time they cooked. Sauces are okay. Prices for lunch is reasonable but you can go just to see classics American places you saw in every movie etc. Don’t put any Italian place expectations.

The service was superb. Our waiter supplied us service with a smile and advice that we took. Fried lasagna was the best lasagna I've ever eaten. Calamari had too much salt. Could have been I eat little to no salt.

I am in love with everything at olive garden. Taste, quantity of food, quality, location, atmosphere, and service. I tried chicken alfredo pasta with chicken gnocchi soup which was 3.5/5 and the soup was 5/5. They offer complimentary soup/ salad and garlic bread

This is a great place to visit and try. it is really well decorated and everything is nice in this place. the burgers are quite good. However, they are quite expensive. We payed 43 dollars for 2 burgers, with no beverage. I understand it has to do with its location. However, we are talking about burgers. Still would recommend it as an experience...

Our waiter was very nice and prompt. As other reviews state, the music was definitely loud but tasteful and suitable for the decor. Our food was just ok with inflated prices but that’s common for most restaurants around Times Square. Overall, interesting experience in a convenient location.

We were in New York in December, and of course we'll have a visit to Planet Hollywood on Broadway. It was a great experience and recommended to anyone who likes the good old Hollywood movies. The food is delicious and the staff was very friendly. It was all very fast. You should but if msn dinner there would like to order a table otherwise you might have to wait. If we are in New York again we will definitely be back.
Christoph Zőllner - 4 years ago

Cool atmosphere. Food was ok, I would not recommend the fried stuffed pasta, the outside was not edible. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive which made up for the ok food. Drinks were good too. If you want a quick casual bite it's a food place.

Honestly, what made our visit so amazing was the wait staff. TJ waited on us. He was authentic and was no BS. It made for a great experience. Ironically, they also have some of the best New York style pizza in New York. My youngest daughter is a pizza bigot, and she loved this pizza. Despite catering to the tourist crowd, if you're in Times Square do yourself a favor and stop by here just to take a break and enjoy the fun environment.

First time in NYC! Traveling with some friends who had ate at previously and highly recommended The View. They had attended prior to the epidemic and experienced the revolving floor that added to the dining appeal. Sad to say that the floor no longer turned and menu was set, everyone eats the same thing, so hopefully you liked everything being served on the menu because there are no substitutions. In exchange for the revolving floor, you got a “show” of a miniature chef preparing each course that they bring out to you. While the staff was friendly and attentive and the meal presentation was cute, we were stunned and less than impressed by our enormous bill. For two people the bill was well over $400 which was more than our round trip flights to the city!! We were totally shocked and thrown off by this, as was our friend who had been a patron there before! She said that every about this experience had changed and was nothing like she remembered and wanted to share the experience again with us. Beware before booking your reservation as this is NOT budget friendly and you will want to make sure your taste buds align with the menu. This is not something I would recommend to a friend as I am sure there other nice eating establishments that would cost far less!

This was our second time here with our family, but the first since Covid and the first since La Petite Chef. The bottom line is while still a superior restaurant, the price does not reflect much more than the payment to restore the spinning restaurant mechanism that makes "the view" worth it in the first place. Please note, and if you've seen our other reviews, you know that, at All Set Vacations, we pride ourselves on providing true and transparent editorial content based on all my years as a journalist and educator. We paid $1200 for this experience. Definitely arrive early. We shared drinks a snack in one of the lower floor restaurants first because we read that it might not be enough food, it definitely was enough food and the wine at dinner was also enough alcohol to suffice anyone. By arriving early, we enjoyed three different appetizers. They were ok, but mostly breading, so, nothing special. The show is cool, but, as a photographer and cinematographer/media person myself, felt a bit dated. Essentially, there is a ultra high resolution projector above your table with four specifically placed circles that mark your plate. That way the projector can the two-dimensional animation at the same time to all four place settings. It's a simple two-dimensional cartoon chef that runs around and you enjoy his antics for a few minutes as he prepares what you're about to eat and then the food is served right afterwards. That's pretty much it. It was cool but nothing that was mouth dropping or eye opening other than just being a novelty. It would definitely be worth a look to do it once but not sure if it warrants the heavy price tag. I'm not sure if I would recommend coming here just for this part alone. However, the food, plus this experience, depending on your preference for something different could make it worth it. Now for the food itself at dinner. The food was amazing, but, heavy! How anyone can say they didn't feel they ate enough is beyond me! The cream base on many dishes filled us up and we definitely felt it! The portions are fine. I did a little digging and looked up each one of the pairing wines individually. They are all very highly ranked and we're all delicious. We have more of a preference for red and we know a bottle of stag sleep alone is a $100 bottle. So having two glasses of that was wonderful. Put that together with all the other ones and if you're a wine person, this is like having a high-end flight. I also included a picture of the menu to see all food and beverage offerings. The dinner courses were fantastic, fresh, and served perfectly. The lobster included a portion of a tail and one claw (would have loved more of that for the price like half of a normal 8 oz tail or skip the rubbery claw even though it helps the presentation). The beef short rib was very tender as well. The first course, again, solid, and the desert was complex and balanced. So....let's lay it out and see if it gets an 'All-Set' seal of approval.....-after the breakdown. Let's be generous and assume each wine glass costs $20. For my wife and I, that would be $160 total. Let's give the first course a $20 price on a normal menu, that's $80 for all four of us. Second course $30 each normally, $120 total. Let's assume each main entree of short ribs would be a max of $50 each- $200 total. And dessert, $20 each or $80 total. So... for 4 people, 2 adults and 2 kids: That's $640 for a really wonderful dinner for the four of us at a decent high view of the other tall buildings in the area. ( remember, it's not spinning currently). Add in a tip of 130 and that's $770. That's essentially a markup of $430 that is likely paying for the projector and, from what we learned, management to save up to turn the spinning motor back on! Final thoughts: if you can rationalize the extra costs for the experience, do it once but, without the spinning view, the view ( name of the restaurant)! isn't great. But, the food, drinks ,and service is worth $640, but not $1200!

We had a fantastic time at "The View" - my husband and I truly relished our experience at this rotating rooftop restaurant with a charming atmosphere and stunning views of Midtown, New York City. Reservations are required!
Lavardo Wilkins - 2 weeks ago

The View was a beautiful place with a very lovely view of the city especially at night. The food was amazing too, there were 4 courses including dessert and the presentation was very nice. There was also a show on the table before every course with a tiny chef and it was very fun to watch. Not only was the food, view and presentation great but all of the workers are so kind and generous with the amount and food too.

My steak was a bit overdone but was still tender. Other dishes were good as well. In total we ordered steak, salmon, and chicken alfredo dishes. I recommend this place if ever in the Time Square area and in the mood for Itailian.

Tourist trap. Low quality food. My table ordered the carbonara and although it looked good, it was not creamy. We also ordered the Bolognese and it was alright. Tastes like some cheap prepared pasta you can find in a grocery store. I tasted three different wines and they also all taste like $5 wines from a chain grocery store. I’ve definitely had higher quality pasta elsewhere in the city.

This is our go to restaurant in midtown and today did not disappoint. We went after a broadway show and had a reservation. We were greeted by the host and seated promptly. All of our servers were friendly and attentive. All of our meals were excellent. We had the caprice salad, fried mozzarella for appetizers. For main courses we had chicken Parmigiana, rigatoni with vodka sauce and Chicken Fantasia all of which were excellent. I would highly recommend Trattoria Trecolori for a great meal at reasonable prices.

I had a pre-show dinner at this place tonight. Very friendly service. The soup was ok, and the linguine nere was pretty good. Especially the squid was perfectly cooked, with great texture. The pasta sauce was simple and beautiful: tomato sauce with onion, garlic, and fresh herbs.

Incredible experience at Trattoria Trecolori. Amazing service and atmosphere. The food was as good as it gets for Italian food in the US. The rigatoni was excellent. The chocolate mousse cake was fantastic. When I come back to NYC, I will do my best to return!

I just want to start off by saying WOW!!! Fantastic service. I went here back in January on the 21st. The staff working that day were absolutely incredible and accommodated us perfectly. Food came fresh and hot. No complaints and everything tasted insanely good!!! Top tier restaurant and for sure worth the money. Can’t wait to come back for those empanadas!!!! We of course had to try the dessert and it was exquisite as well. I also want to mention the music is loud, which I didn’t mind at all, but if you’re sensitive to loud sounds I would be cautious! There’s also plenty of TVs for those sports lovers out there.

A few things with dining at this place. Very disappointed with the food being that we were celebrating our Anniversary. The only reason for any stars was for the Cuban Sampler. I got the monthly special dish, braised oxtail. Highly disappointed and I DO NOT recommend. When receiving the plate the first thing I looked at was how poorly presented it was. It looked like the meat was thrown in. As I was eating I had to practically search for the meat from all the fat. Basically paid $27 for rice and fat. The rice is not good. The rice is way too wet, mushy consistency. & it was the same for my partners dish. We told the waitress and she apologized, but it should have honestly been a better solution than a piece of cake given all the money we spent.

Really good experience. Nice customer service. Make a reservation; popular restaurant in Times Square and the Theaters in the area. Food had decent taste; expected more flavor. My friend and I both had to ask for additional sauce to fully enjoy the meal. Drinks are reasonable. A guava mojito cocktail was only $7. Food was prepared nicely.

You expect to find great food in NYC. Plenty of street vendors, cafés, restaurants. Then, sometimes you want to go upscale. We wanted seafood. Someplace elegant, but not too much. Oceana was a perfect fit. Loved the warm and cozy atmosphere. You enjoy fine wine. They have a deep selection with expert advice. The menu has options for everyone's seafood tastes. Our server was attentive but not pushy. Dessert and after dinner drinks were perfect. A wonderful experience.

Just had my dinner “experience” here. I can now die. I’ve had the best meal of my life!!!!! I am from a seaside town in Sicily and this fish was comparable to the fish that is caught fresh daily. The food just melted in my mouth. It is slightly expensive but the satisfaction was worth every penny. You MUST try this establishment. Ps.. staff was incredible. Thanks Felipe.

Oceana in NYC is a haven for seafood lovers, consistently praised for its fresh, high-quality ingredients and impeccable service. Their seafood tower is a must-order, overflowing with glistening oysters, succulent shrimp, and tender lobster. Don't miss the scallops, cooked to perfection and swimming in a flavorful beurre blanc sauce. The friendly and attentive staff will make your dining experience truly unforgettable.
