Great character. Small place, packed in. Air con on made it cold, myself and table neighbours had our coats on, and it warmed up after 2.5hrs. Nothing exciting to eat for vegetarians. Very exciting for for omnivores. Singer and band were out of this world, boy can they play well together.

My wife and I spent the evening of my birthday at SMOKE Jazz Club. We were visiting NYC from SLC, Utah, where there are no Jazz clubs that can compare. The entire experience, the food, the service, the atmosphere, and of course the music, was perfect! We paid about $50 each for seats at the stage. I was initially annoyed to see that we were also required to order an entree once we were seated. There are so many other amazing food venues in the city that I wanted to try. But when the entrees came, I was not let down. The lambchops were 5 star delicious! And my wife loved the fried chicken. They had a decent selection of single malt whiskeys, with some Japanese and domestic offerings. And the bartender made the best lemon drop martinis we have ever had. We ate good and drank like we didn't have to drive that night or work the next day. And we were spirited away by the musings of a Jazz quintet featuring George Coleman on Tenor Sax, Carl Allen on drums, Peter Bernstein on guitar, John Webber on bass, and Michael Weiss on piano. The group blazed through a master class set. And George at almost 90, just dazzled us. He took us to school and then to church and made it all so much fun. Our night at SMOKE Jazz Club was a dream come true for me!

Incredible evening! Had the most amazing night sitting right behind Bill Charlap, the famous Jazz pianist. Seriously, luck was on our side! An hour just flew by as we soaked in his awesome tunes. It was like time had its own rhythm, and we couldn't believe our luck to be part of such a cool experience. We came back for more jazz on May 25 and we enjoyed thoroughly.

Great evening at one of New York's better jazz clubs. It was their 25th anniversary and I've been coming here most of those 25 years. Music: George Coleman, the great saxophonist who played with Miles (and others). Wish I'd seen him in the '60s, but at 89 he's still an outstanding player. Equally good was Joe Farnsworth, about the best jazz drummer playing today. 2 thumbs 👍 Highly recommended

Honestly beyond disappointed the place has a long wait you would imagine the food would be amazing but no, the A la brasa chicken taste weird has a aromatic flavor which isnt for everyone, the menu is pricey and not really worth it, atleast the drinks are strong , but the place is very fast Paced, you will have no peace people constantly passing by you, and staff trying to get you in and out to seat more people its A MESS ! I will not be coming back

While the food at this establishment is undoubtedly delicious, I was greatly disappointed by the treatment of the staff by the supervisor. Witnessing the supervisor publicly scolding the waiters for a minor mistake, such as providing bread to a table twice, was disheartening and completely unnecessary. This negative experience significantly detracted from an otherwise enjoyable dining experience.

The food was good, not a bad price. Still caught me off guard that the plate of Broccoli was as almost as much as the half chicken. I really like the variety of the menu and the presentation of the food. My friend and I were grateful that this place was open on Christmas, but the restaurant was cold. It probably sat around 40°F. I wondered "Where is the warmth? It is below freezing outside." I asked the waiter if they served hot water, he just laughed and said "no". Now I thought he was joking so I laughed a little as well... But he never did come back with that hot water. Other than that the service was pretty quick and also respectful. Anyway as it turns out all of the heat was concentrated to the front of the restaurant where most of the staff set up.

Food was fantastic, I love the different the culture mix between Asian and Peruvians dishes. The drinks were great, had the house made lemonade and strawberry lemonade. We went for the Lomo saltado which was amazing. Service was great, I had to stop drinking water because every time I drank from the cup, the waiter would fill. The atmosphere was ok, a little noisy but that’s understandable for the time of place it is. Highly recommended for a delicious Lomo Saltado.

Amazing restaurant! Brilliant food, quick and friendly service, nice atmosphere. Try the specialty half or whole chicken, cooked perfectly. Could not recommend this more whether for a quick takeout or couples dining in. 10/10 best in NYC :)

Our go-to Ethiopian restaurant and comfort food spot! We’ve ordered takeout multiple times and it’s always very flavorful and spicy! The portions are large, so we always have leftovers. Love this place so much!!!
Alana Rogers - 2 months ago

Loved loved this place. It was my first time getting Ethiopian food and I thought it was amazing. Got the veggie platter and the spices/seasoning was soo good. The combo together was delicious- really loved the beets complementing the chickpea mix. Everything was wrapped in a type of bread/wrap which has a kind of grainy texture but is very complementary. Got this for take out and 100% would get again. Large portion as we had it for 2 meals.

Delicious tofu tibs. I just wish it could be added to the sampler platter. Lovely atmosphere here as well. A beautiful restaurant. I'd suggest coming for dinner rather than lunch though. They sometimes open late.

It was a Friday night around 8:30. Very busy, very loud but the food was amazing. Service was a little slow but it was a Friday night in New York City.

Food was good but I am not used to Ethopian food so it was new to me. 🤣 It was a good experience to me having this food in NYC🙃 Service and atmosphere were nice! I wish we had forks or sth that we could eat our food with cause it was kinda but soggy to hold it with hands.

The rumors are true: best HH in the neighborhood. It’s not even debatable. The food is solid. Items that are on replay: sardines, any of the muscles, the burger, calamari… there’s more, but the martinis have my memory pause. Adult beverages are solid, especially the martinis @ HH. It’s the truth, baby Ruth. Desserts are mid. Eat another appetizer, instead. Life is too short for mid food and your stomach is too small, choose wisely.

Went there for Mother’s Day brunch with our little one in a stroller. We had a reservation and did not have to wait. They were very accommodating; they went above and beyond to find us a table that would allow us to sit next to our baby in the stroller. The food and service were great. I had the croque madame and my spouse had the classique Benedict. We also split a creme brulee. We also had a few cocktails and they were all great. The prices were also very reasonable! Would definitely recommend

Had a nice brunch outside. Separate outdoor bubbles with heaters make it toasty warm. I took off my coat! Food tasty, bloody marys strong.

Very inviting atmosphere, beautiful setting and service. Food wise is just ok. French onion soup is good. Mussel stinks.

I like the atmosphere at this French bistro and the food is surprisingly good. Note there is a French attitude towards service here even though we're on the UWS. They don't respond well to any modifications or special requests - forget about any issues you have with your order. If you stick to French classics and don't ask for anything special you should be good 👌 and it's an enjoyable meal.

I'm originally from NY, but have moved to NC. I came back for my grandson, who had heart surgery across the street and was hoping for some really good pizza. This place didn't disappoint - it was really good! What I do have a problem with is bait and switch. Online prices are given, and when you walk in, the prices above, on the board match. I ordered, and what should have been $12+tax, turned out to be $18+tax. When I asked the girl at the register who, "only works here", she added that the actual prices are in their take away menu stacked on the counter. She also added that it was brought up weeks ago by another customer, and it's up to the owners to change the pricing and address the issue, not her. I have no problem with paying for anything that is clearly stated by the establishment whatever it is that they charge. As a consumer, we make choices based on how much, and do we want it? There are hundreds of pizza places - WHY NOT be diligent and up front with your customers? It's deception and poor business. Pizza, good. Pizzeria and customer service, not so good. If ever back in the city, I'll spend my hard earned money on another place that has more integrity and honesty. ☆And, girl at the register, MAYBE suggest patrons look at the actual menu on the counter that's next to the register, with current pricing, and not at the above the counter and online pricing. You work there, do your job!

Very good pizza! They have a lot of flavors and the people there are very nice! The space, even though is a little small, is nice and clean!
Maria Esther Frigo - 10 months ago

I selected one square cut and one traditional slice. The pizza was just ok. Crust was good and baked well, it’s the sauce! It’s weak. Not very flavorful! Add some marinara to help and more parimson cheese

One of the best slices in Manhattan. Simple, no nonsense, yet right in every way. The tomato sauce was the perfect balance of sweet, tangy and herby. The cheese was, well, cheesy. And the pizza bread was thin, chewy and crunchy in all the right places. Love it.

My first attempt eating Sal & Carmine’s wasn’t great. But always give a second try, as everyone has an off night. Sadly worse than the first Just picked up a pie. Definitely a reheat as the pepperoni are uncooked and basically sitting on top of the pizza Dough super soft but not in a good way Don’t see any reason for a third try Bummer as I recently moved nearby Attempted to call and share this feedback privately but phone is constantly busy

So average, it’s good. I guess. Regular Slice: 3.25/5 ($4) Sausage slice: 3/5 ($5) Closes at 9pm: 1/5 Destination: no Crust too thick, sauce is bland, cheese is too oily. 3rd best slice between 96th - 103rd.
Yur Mumz - 3 months ago

Very good pizza, not the best I've had in NYC, it was a bit too greasy for my taste but if you're in the area and looking to get a NY slice, this is a solid spot. Staff were very friendly, too.

So you're looking for great thai food, huh? Well congratulations because you have stumbled across the right place. This is by far the best thai food I have had in NYC. From the appetizers to the entrees, they are all packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars, but the drinks were not great. Overall, a fantastic place for a flavorful meal!

Very tasty meal. Started with the papaya salad and calamari. Pomegranate ginger ale and thai ice tea. Curry puffy. Standard all good. Not blown away. Rice dish with ground chicken is sweet, soup vermicelli is good portion with big chunky of meat. also enjoyed the beef ball in it! My go to Pad Se ew order of shrimp is good(although i forgot to add my usual tofu), pad ke mao has tomato which is different. All the dishes came out fast and was piping hot. Mango sticky rice is fresh and sweet. Service was just ok but everyone is amicable.

There's tons of seating, indoors and outdoors. The service was super on top of it. The food was pretty good. I got the massaman curry and I liked it. I didn't love the avocado personally, but not bad.

From walking in, the atmosphere took me in. the sound of the music lead me into the main dinning room with colorful art decorating the walls. The hospitality was amazing. The food the food the food! Was amazing! Great wine at a price you wouldn’t believe. The Valley Dal was delicious. The garlic naan was outstanding. A+ to the Samosas. The Masala Tea needed nothing. No sugar no milk. Was perfect. Outstanding. I’ll be back.

The food was amazing and the service is also outstanding!! I ordered chicken sagwala, which was very delicious. Also, when I asked to put leftover into a box to go, they kindly give us another box of rice without charge!! We were served with a free dessert as well. The experience over all was fabulous we will visit again !

Wide variety. Good price and good food. The only thing that I can complain about it not having a bathroom for customers and the place was a bit messy even tho they didn’t have any other customers when I was there.

The best pizza I've ever had without question. Excellent crust, not to thick and a bit of a crunch. I got the Grandma Vodka slice that had vodka sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil.

The food was absolutely awful, burger patty clearly came from Safeway signature frozen patty bag and was microwaved to order. Service was fast and competent at least. My advice? stick to breakfast and don't expect anything better than Dennys

I always wanted to go to a dinner and my husband took me to this nice place. The food was very good. We ordered the avocado toast which comes with fruit, grilled cheese and pastrami sandwich and everything was very delicious except the lemonade which didn't feel natural. The service was excellent and without long delays. Everything was very clean.

One of our top 5 diner experiences and tastiest food selections in NYC. My first time, sure won't be my last. The Cream of Turkey soup was a hit, the Chicken Scampi dinner was tasty, that strawberry Cheesecake was ahhhh-mazing, and the hot chocolate with Whipped Cream was flavorful (and satisfying on a cold day) 😋. The lemonade was great, homemade too! Fresh food, freshly prepared, attentive service, great location (within walking distance of trains) and not overly expensive. The foot traffic confirmed this place is a gem. 😌

No frills, no fuss, good food, good coffee, fast service. What else do you need in this awesome diner? It’s become a tradition to come here after my boyfriends’ marathons and races and all! Love it!
