I am so thankful I found this restaurant for our trip. The food and service was wonderful. It was very nice dining outside in this beautiful unusual weather. These were the best frites I have ever tasted. I love French fries❤️ The wine list is very extensive.

Balthazar is definitely a Manhattan staple for the ambience and experience, but the food is not as good as it was a few years ago. We were able to make reservations for Sunday brunch on the phone on the day of, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the egg dishes were forgettable. The bread and pain de chocolate were cold and not toasted. We did enjoy the escargot. Overall, it’s worth a visit once or twice, but if you want a really great brunch, I would look elsewhere.

Both the bakery and restaurant are superb. Breakfasts are the best on weekdays as there’s just enough people without being too noisy. Baked eggs are a must plus the bread. Took home some pastries too coz you just have to. Staff is always nice and attentive.

No lines if you stop in for dinner on a Saturday afternoon at 5pm like we did. After a late brunch, it was a little early so we only ordered 2 entrees. Their presentations were good, but both were underwhelming. The halibut was under seasoned, thin, overdone and dry, The braised short rib was very fatty, also overdone, braised to the point that the beef became stringy and no longer "beefy", could've been a hunk of braised pork, but mostly fat and less flavorful. Service was good, water was refilled frequently and the bread was very good, probably the best food we had here. The tables are tiny and inches apart. If you enjoy tight quarters that make you feel like you're in a cozy brasserie in Paris, Balthazar's your place.

My go to restaurant! EVERYTHING is good here. You can’t have bad experience. The bakery next to it is so convenient if you can’t get the seat. A French experience in NYC.

I was impressed being I'm born in Brooklyn and been eating new york pizza all my life. The taste was great I order a half sausage and half meatballs. And one cheese pizza. I have to say it was very flavorful and cheesy. Even the crust was on point it was crispy. So for my first time here I have to give them all stars. The service was good and the environment was great. Will definitely be back to enjoy another sausage pie. Fyi a little pricey but well worth it.

The first American pizza restaurant! Very typical place in NYC. The staff and the service is very good. Not big place so expect some waiting time. But it worth! The tomato salad is delicious same as the pasta. You can only pay cash but no problem as that have an ATM in the restaurant. Do not miss this place. A must in NYC!

I was really hyped for this visit because of the history and I’m not sure whether I’m not a fan of the style of pizza or if it’s bad, but I know I didn’t really like it. The crust was very well cooked and rather than the light char that you get on a Neapolitan pizza it tasted more widespread burnt. I’ve added a photo of the base where you can see all round the edges is black. There was also a lot of sauce vs crust which I wasn’t keen on. Again, possibly personal taste. It wasn’t dreadful and I did eat a decent amount of it, but just not amazing especially considering it’s quite pricey. I think it was just underwhelming. Service wise my waiter was very eager to tell me how great the food was, and not so keen on answering my questions. I asked him if he did a smaller size as 12” to yourself is quite a lot and he just started ranting about how the pizza was nice, I’m still not sure if there’s a child’s portion or anything. If not it would be a good idea, a lot of places now offer a child size which is also better for smaller appetites.

Great pizza and wonderful staff. Only tough part was no reservations and cash only but was not big enough issue that it deterred us from dinning there. Literally all the pizzas we tried were fantastic

Wonderful pizza. I mean, near perfection. And they’re very fast! The service was wonderful too. Very helpful and kind staff. They have their own soda’s, which aren’t terrible, but if you’re expecting coke, their cola falls very short. This is also a cash-only establishment, so, bear that in mind before going. All-in-all I was so pleased with my experience here. Oh, and it may just have the cleanest bathroom in Manhattan!

Just dropped by La Esquina again after a few years – yup, that was my second time there. I just chilled at the counter this time, grabbing some fish tacos and a beer that the super nice lady there recommended. Seriously, everything was top-notch. The fish in those tacos? Fantastic! And the beer? Just hit the spot. It was the perfect pick-me-up for my afternoon munchies, keeping me going until dinner. Can’t wait to swing by again for another round. If you’re around, definitely give it a try – you won’t regret it!

Great food, great atmosphere. We were seated in the basement which has a great vibe. Little bit too crowded for me though, it felt like we basically shared a table with our neighbors even though we had separate tables. The music is a bit too loud as well, which makes it kinda hard to talk. The food compensates a lot though. We had cauliflower tacos, brisket tacos, plantains, guacamole and ceviche.

We received many recommendations for this restaurant and decided to make a reservation for a table of 8 on Saturday eve. We arrived on time but had to wait for an hour as the restaurant had forgotten to keep the table reserved for us. Instead of apologizing, they blamed us for the mistake. The service was terrible and the heat inside the restaurant was unbearable due to the overcrowded seating. Despite all of this, the food was good. We believe that if we had received our table on time, we would have had a great evening there.

Food was 10/10 & the bar staff was amazing & super helpful and made delicious drinks! The food was tasty af we wanted to order more and more. We got the mussels, bistec, pollo, camarones and chicharrón tacos which were all mouthwatering. We also ordered the queso fundido (10/10!). I give a 4 because the hostess legit gave us looks all night and made us feel uncomfortable for being a group of 9 sat in the bar area (which we were told we could be sat there without a reservation). Hostess made us put our coats in the coat check because it looked “messy”. Shoutout to Juan at the bar for being the best! And thanks for fitting our group even though we didn’t have a reservation.

Had been hearing about here for a long time and even put my name down a couple of times but the wait was so long so I finally got to try it out and it didn’t disappoint at all. The pizza was so good and one of the best thin crusted pizzas in NYC for sure. We had the arugula and Caesar salad too and they were good. In the end we had the bread pudding desert and that was average in our opinion. The pizza we got were the ones in the picture. Tie dye was my favorite.
Dara Kashani - a month ago

This place has such a cute aesthetic, and the food was so tasty. The Tie Dye pizza is definitely worth the hype. We ordered a small pizza and individual sized pasta, which was the perfect amount for 2 people. They also sell jars of their pasta sauces, which is perfect to take home!
Pranaya Gade - 2 weeks ago

every dish we ordered was so delicious. i appreciate how they timed everything to be served when you’re ready so nothing gets cold. the lasagna was so rich with incredible flavors, and i loved the simple but rich taste of the ravioli. their pizza is obviously not a skip. the flavors and thinness of the crust is to die for.

I loved the old-school pizzeria vibe with black-and-white portrait photos. The service was impeccable, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The pizza was excellent, especially the sauce, which had a delicious flavour and great depth. The pizza had an authentic New York-style thin crust, which I enjoyed. I am looking forward to trying the other flavours on my next visit.

Went on a hot date Saturday night to celebrate my birthday. I love pizza so I was really excited. Ambiance was nice but this place was super packed...Wait time was two hours, even to sit at the bar you need a reservation! We got lucky and got seated after a few minutes 😁 service was great, calamari was amazing ! It's a must, hot and crispy with a hint of spicy. Marinara sauce was perfect. The pizza was okay, it was super thin (not my fave) my friend tried to fold it, the way we true new yorkers eat pizza but it cracked from being so crispy and thin, at least it was really flavorful, we enjoyed it. The drinks were really good and strong. I had the Irish mule and I was happy with it. The server gave me a tiny pizza box with chocolate for being the birthday girl, I thought that was really nice. Overall had a great time and I would go back🙂

The food was very good. We had a board of meats and cheeses cut on the spot. The paste was fresh and yummy and the same for the meatballs. The service was not so friendly or nice. And the vibe is ok but don't go in for that.
Yuval K - in the last week

The location is good, and the menu looks decent, so we decided to step in for lunch. Unfortunately, all three different meals we ordered were really bland! It is surprising, as pasta in general is not a difficult dish to make, at least to make it average level. The pricing is pricey, but that comes with the location, I guess. Not sure what the problem is here - perhaps too much is pre-prepared? Nevertheless, it is definitely not a place I'd return to. Absolutely no complaints about the staff, who is friendly and attentive.

I’ve been coming here for over a decade and love sharing this spot with friends. The food is always so good. Typically get a charcuterie board, steak and 1-2 pasta dishes for 4 people. And of course a bottle or two of wine. The gelato parmigiana (spelling?) is so good. Whipped up spreadable cheese. Prosciutto is cut when you order.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Visited Osteria Moroni in SoHo, drawn by its fusion Italian menu. The food we ordered was decent - it hit the 'okay' mark but didn't quite dazzle the taste buds. However, the high price tag, especially for the wine and drinks, felt a bit steep. Considering the location, some premium is expected, but just a few blocks away, there are spots offering more authentic and value-packed Italian experiences. A fair choice if you're nearby, but there's more to explore in the area for Italian cuisine enthusiasts. 🍝🍷📍

Food was awesome. Our waiter was a bit rude to my friends. 6 people total. 4 people showed up on time and 2 of us came late because of traffic. Waiter gave us some guff for some reason.

Came for the happy hour, stayed for everything else! The drinks were fantastic and the food was spot on, both the corn and the cuban sandwich were delicious and the vibes were on point! Super friendly staff accommodating us even without a booking, would definitely come back!

We were looking for a brunch spot on Sunday morning and were really happy to have gotten a table at Habana! There was a short waitlist after us but they move tables pretty efficiently. At 1pm they had both their regular and brunch menu. I had the breakfast plate and their featured corn. Both really delicious and filling. Felt like a meal made by mom. Not a long wait for food. Their Cafe con leche was also delicious. Prices are very reasonable for new york and the quality of food. Would definitely go back again, really want to try their Cubanas.
Jazmin Ramos - a month ago

Nice vibes, service was fine but not great (kinda cold, no smiles or anything that will make you feel you welcome). Food was good but not great IMHO. We ate the Cubano, Corn and an Americano coffee. Coffee was great, corn was very good, I had better Cubanos, tasted kinda like a good tuna sandwich and not a Cubano.

This review was long overdue. My husband and I came here by accident. We were looking for a place to have dinner and we saw Lure Fishbar. We were like let try this, and that was the right decision. We came in the little early, around 5:30pm which was perfect time for us. As you can see from the pictures, we had some oysters, couple drinks, and some sushi. Perfection!
BTK COLLECTION - 2 weeks ago

I frequent Lure often, and always have the most amazing time and great food, but last night Lure particularly went above and beyond to accommodate a birthday group for 12 people last minute at 10:45 pm. We had originally hosted a surprise party at Soho House, and because of the no photo policy, we went to Lure to cut the cake and have a round of drinks. They set up a BEAUTIFUL 12 person table for us, were so attentive to the party (even though they were nearly closing), kind to our table and so sweet to the birthday girl, and did not rush us with ordering food. We lingered in the restaurant for a long time after, and no one tried to rush us out, but rather said happy birthday again to the birthday girl when we left. I think more restaurants need to take note of the quality of service that Lure provides. They go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, and it is noticeable! Thank you so much to Victoria and Cici, our servers, who were so fun to talk to and so incredibly helpful with cutting the cake, taking photos and delivering our food. Thank you to Judy the hostess who so kindly seated us and helped to prepare a wonderful table scape! Y’all all go above and beyond!!

Interesting bar in the lower level of the building, inside of shaped like the cabin of a boat. Definitely get the seafood here, and definitely go for the specialty oysters as those are much better than the regular oysters. I particularly like the wasabi one. The steak was too salty, and the arugula salad was a bit weird. The beet salad was good, though, and a lobster always just so-so compared with Luke's lobster roll. The seafood tower was a good mix of different pieces, though a little light on some of the sauce. Uni pasta was great, a bit spicy. Service was really good, at least to start until it became busy. Then it took a while to get any refills on drinks and water other than when they were bringing food to the table.
Hank Chang - 4 months ago

Wow e wow wow love the atmosphere and I loved all of the food. Cocktails were great too but the vibe…not a place to bring non NY elite. A little snobby snob snob? Yeah a bit. I brought my parents and wanted to treat them to some great seafood. You did not disappoint but the lack of welcome from any one of our three servers and the concierge attitude was a bit much for me. I’ll be back because the food was extraordinary but I won’t be bringing out of towners. Whomp whomp.

A must visit if you are in the SoHo area and looking to get some desserts. The cute cupcake sized Cheesecake look amazing and taste delicious when you bite into it . The Salted Caramel is my personal favorite here . The Chocolate Mocha from the special menu was a wonderful addition to the cheesecake menu. The blueberry is another that I have tried multiple times here . Try any flavor you like and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Priced reasonably and doesn’t feel guilty like devouring a whole regular sized one 😂.

DEFINITELY a place to visit and try if you are in NYC! I had heard and read and watched so many shorts and reels about this and also from my work manager that I was already excited to visit and try these cheesecakes! I must say that ALL the hype about Eileen’s Special Cheesecakes place is worth every single word! A tiny but unique place, small counter and a huge display of fresh cheesecakes and one can see the cake making in the bakery behind the counter! We tried 3 different cakes (one from the today’s special) and all were delicious and scrumptious 😋 - perfect blend of sweet, cheese and a hint of the actual flavour you select. I only wish words can capture a taste so that these cheesecakes can be described in a right sense! 200% worth a visit and experience - you will always face a short queue and you can stand and eat inside the shop! Enjoy 😊

That was amazing cheesecake, soft and creamy. Place is super small and there was line, but guys are serving very quick. Baby cheesecake is $6. Cannoli was so so, do not take. Better take another flavour of cheesecake.
Светлана Кондратьева - a week ago

This is cheesecake without flaws from a hole in the wall that's barely fits 10 people shoulder to shoulder comfortably. At first bite you're tempted to say "it's just cheesecake" but as you keep eating you realize the flaws in every other cheesecake you've had. This is light but not too light, the crust texture is crumbly but still dense enough to hold up. The flavor is complex but not overwhelming.
Michael Richardson - in the last week

Eileen’s is one of the most well-known bakeries in NYC, and for good reason: They’ve been serving their signature New York Cheesecake since 1974! They sell many alternate flavors now, including Brown Sugar Milk Tea 😅 and Key Lime Pie, but my favorite is definitely the original cheesecake ($4.95) flavor. With a perfect creamy and dense consistency while also not being too sweet, it was definitely one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had. Pro tip: there’s no seating inside, so be prepared to eat while standing or just buy to-go to take home.

Things I love: Prime Location: Situated in the heart of Manhattan, Grey Dog is conveniently accessible for both locals and visitors. Popular Among Locals and Visitors: Its popularity is evident from the bustling atmosphere and multiple locations spread across the city. Generous Portions: Grey Dog offers consistently delicious food with generous portion sizes, ensuring diners leave satisfied. Seating: The restaurant provides ample indoor and outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot for gatherings with friends. Things to keep in mind: Peak Hour Challenges: Snagging a table during peak hours can be challenging, if you prefer walking into a restaurant without reservations for a leisurely brunch experience then this place isn’t for you. Bathroom Queues: With only a single bathroom, customers need to exercise patience during busy hours, as lengthy queues can occur.

This place is outstanding. A perfectly pleasant and high-energy atmosphere. That screams Bohemian. I loved this place and the food is amazing. The drinks are awesome. It is absolutely the place to go. It made 6 more worth a trip, and Kayla, the manager, was an outstanding people leader. Her team was efficient and professional service-oriented. And in her direction was in comp you control of their surroundings. I never felt more welcome in a place.

Last week, I ate here and, contrary to a past experience of mine at this location, I really enjoyed it! I got the kale caesar salad and tomato soup; starting with the former, the salad tasted extremely flavorful, and the chickpeas were a great touch as well. Likewise, I loved the tomato soup. I definitely recommend coming here for anyone in the area!
Vernon D. - in the last week

A relaxing spot for breakfast in Soho. There are street parking in front and in the area though may be hard to find during peak time. Food was standard good and what you would expect from a decent breakfast spot. Friendly staffs and food came out quick. We were able to be in and out in under an hour from seating to paying our bill.

Finally got to eat here without having to wait. I went during dinner time and I really enjoyed the old-school diner vibes. This place is small, but adorable. I got the two most famous pastas. The garlic bread is a must just spend the extra three dollars and make it a deluxe! You get like a bowl, full of marinara sauce and ricotta. The pasta definitely lived up to its name. I can’t speak about anything else on the menu but willing to try again if I’m ever able to. They’re typically super busy .

Great service and amazing deals for happy hr! I indulged in the meatball appetizers as well and the pizza knots. The sauce is everything in this place! Best meatballs ever. The bartender, Jose, was exceptional and the lemon drop cocktails are a great go-to for something not too strong and refreshing. Thanks again to the team for the attention and customer service!

Our order got messed up, but they fixed it. The "world famous" garlic bread was not good. The meatballs were excellent. The pasta was just OK. Long wait and super crowded. But very friendly staff and service.

Highly recommend! My friend and I chose to dine at Parm after our first choice had a long wait, and it turned out to be the best decision. We found seats at the bar and indulged in garlic bread, eggplant parm, penne scampi, pizza knots (although I forgot to snap a picture), and some drinks. The food at Parm is exceptionally delicious and satisfying. I'll definitely be returning. But what truly made our night extraordinary was meeting Manager Franky. Customer service is vital, and Franky exceeded all expectations. His incredible spirit, warm welcome, regular check-ins, and treating us like family made our night unforgettable. Thanks to Franky, I'll be a regular at this location, savoring great meals. Every staff member at Parm was equally friendly. Big thanks to Franky! I'll be back soon.
