We had salmon with beets & beans, my buddy didn't like the beets or beans. I had the salmon medium, his is probably too dry. I had better salmon in Long Beach Whale's Tale or something like that. The salmon there took effort to make this one i could easily whiff up myself. My friend also had butternut squash, it comes out separate with bowl/plate with some dry stuff in it the someone pours the puree in it. Fancy but i don't know how it tasted my buddy liked it.

We came during 2019 restaurant week. The food was excellent. The service (from the hostess, waiter Nick? , and staff) was TOP notch, even during restaurant week. Arriving at 5:40pm, we told them we have to catch a Broadway show at 7pm, and we were about to enjoy our dinner with time to spare! Highly recommended!

This place seems to be fine dining, but we came during restaurant week at the last seating (10pm on a Friday) and it left something to be desired. The food was good, but the service was a bit rushed. Unfortunately, not over the top experience like I was expecting from things I've heard in the past. The main course came out when we were still finishing our appetizers. Nothing was bad, I was just expecting a more sophisticated experience.

The service was good and the food amazing! The best salmon I never had! They were really great options for the restaurant week! Even vegetarian for my husband! I will never forget that flavors! :)

It was date night last night with my wife and we were very pleased we tried Aureole in Time Square! We had the lobster dumpling which was a new dish and it was fantastic. The service was pleasant and efficient, restaurant was crowded at the time we were there but comfortable. We enjoyed talking with the manager while we waiting for our table. Look forward to returning soon, will try for lunch one of these days.

Great brunch spot. Omelette was awesome, and we were seated quickly. Very cute spot to eat. Looks nice on the inside and great food. My sister also enjoyed her food. Refer to pics. You can also get a bottle of champagne with your own garnishes and juices and make your own drinks. Super cute idea. The salads were great as well!

I love this place. I stumbled into it a couple months ago and then intentionally came back to celebrate my birthday today. The staff was all so kind and went above and beyond for my special day. The food is divine! I love the mac and cheese with the cookie skillet for dessert. Will definitely come again!

Parker and Quinn was a very pleasant dining experience in a lovely atmosphere. The price point was pretty high, but that is because the restaurant and bar are attached to a hotel. The food was amazing. Pancakes were fluffy and cooked right. Eggs, potatoes and bacon all on point. Service staff was polite, accommodating and efficient. Bathrooms (in the adjoining hotel lobby) were some of the cleanest we used on the trip.

OMG this little place is a hidden gem. The food is incredibly good and the service to. We usually sit on the bar, Andrew is one of the best Bartenders here, he es very friendly and professional. The ambience of the place is very cozy. You have to go here after work.

Came here for my birthday and had a really great time. Its a bit loud, but I kind of expect that out of a place like this. I had the roasted pork and it was incredibly rich and tender, a truly delicious meal. And the brussel sprouts side may have been my favorite part of the meal, absolutely fantastic. Nice place, nice location, comes with my recommendation.

I've always loved this place. When I lived in NYC it was my after work bar hands down. Now when I come to visit a couple times a year I can't not come to Windfall. The staff is so friendly, the music is great & the food never disappoints.

$5 beers, great service and amazing buffalo chicken strips. Oh and free chips and salsa from 5pm. It’s never too busy and the music is not too loud. Great place to gather for after work drinks! The best in midtown!

I was surprised if how delicious it was. I figured I was in for a good burger, but I was blown away. Bison burger was amazing, Hawaiian bun was clutch. Shakes were better than shake shake! And they had a great military discount. Which just gets added to the tip anyway, on top of the large party gratuity, she deserved it. Which brings me to my server. I wish I remembered her name because she added to my experience. She was short with amazing eyes and lashes.... And super friendly and funny. Handled my party of 8 (4 of them children) like a true professional. If you're in times square, you've got to treat yourself to one of these special burgers! Best of all, the gluten free options impressed my wife. Almost everything gluten free and no cross contamination.

Food was great.... we sat at the bar and Lisa took great care of us. She was our best bar tender in time square! We will definitely come back on our next trip. The food was also very good and priced reasonable.

Really good food. Professional staff knew their menu, attentive, fast. It was easy to meet my dietary restrictions and still have a great meal. Seating was tight but no worse than other places in the area. Quite busy but still got in and out in amount of time we had. Highly recommend. Will be back.

Patrick Thompson - 27 days ago

The waitress we had was really good, she took our orders by memorizing them as we told her and displayed great service in a timely manner. The food was perfectly made as requested and tasted even better than it looked (it looked pretty damn good). A little bit pricier than your average burger but well worth it.

Alex Karampelas - 1 month ago

This place was fantastic. I haven't had a good tasting burger from a food joint in a while. The staff was friendly. Only downside was that it was very cramped. Definitely will be going back.

Beautiful restaurant and great food. The share plates were perfect for two, we ordered three to share and it filled us up nicely without being too much. They have multiple options for many dishes and the hardest thing was deciding what we wanted but knowing it’ll all be great. Great wine and cocktail list. Friendly and knowledgeable servers equals a fantastic meal. (In the photos we had eaten some of the food before I remembered to take a picture but the Koi crispy rice comes with 4 pieces)

Very nice restaurant. Had the fillet and it was very tasty; no steak sauce needed. The daughter had the spicy tuna roll and it was delicious. For dessert we had the cheesecake, and it was out of this world. Staff was very courteous.

Staying at the Bryant Park Hotel and came downstairs to get a bite for lunch. I'm not a sushi person so I ordered the field greens salad. Overall just a pile of greens with a couple of tomatoes and cucumbers. The dressing was good though. Added chicken to it which was about 1/4 a chicken and had really good skin. To add the chicken was $21 so in total $42 for a field greens salad seems high. I'm sure the sushi is great though if that is what you are looking for.

Really enjoyed our meal here. Always helpful to have a reservation. Nice atmosphere. The speciality rolls are worth the extra $. Flavors are awesome and basic rolls are reasonably priced and delicious. Food came quickly and staff were friendly.

This place is everything!!! Go, go, go. And let the waiter suggest some unique items, everything is good. Their dishes push your palette just enough but nothing weird ends up on your table. It’s all delicious. They’re pretty strict about seating full parties and you do need a reservation. Otherwise, incredible. And the basement bar for post-dinner drinks is great (but loud).

The food used to be good. This time it had no taste. I will try one more time and update if it's good again. Update 3/18/2019 : I went in last weekend and the food was good, had great taste. It was also less crowded than in December.

Atul Khataokar - 1 day ago

Tha rolls are very, very tasty and flavorful!! They also had quick service. I knocked off one star because I do think that the price per a roll is a little high give the size of the rolls. Otherwise, great place!

Ifeoma Ezeonyebuchi - 16 days ago

We usually order take out from this place for lunch and the sandwiches are delicious. You can make them extra spicy if you like. The sitting area is a little bit out if order and they don't have enough sit there, especially if their tables at corners are occupied. I would still prefer to order delivery or take out from them.

I was not sure about the ambience in this place. It had all the classic indian movie posters but all of posters were ripped. Not sure if this was the ambience or if someone did this. That said, the rolls were really good. Definitely do check this place.

Always have loved their burgers. This is a great spot to catch a quick meal- I've never had problem with the wait times, and the staff is always so attentive. I got the wings this time which were nice and hot- but not too hot. The nutty chocolate hard shake was great too, a little strong, but I'm a lightweight so it could have just been me. I would definitely recommend trying them out if you're in the area.

Craving a burger but not willing to venture too far off a familiar path, I stopped in at HB Burger, which claims to be employee owned. The feel on the inside is dim, with vintage pictures hung across the restaurant. The service is very good, in that they are aware of not being too overwhelming while maintaining a close presence in case anything additional is needed. The burger was superb, very good and juicy. Recommended if looking for something nice, easy, and near Times Square.

Ahmad Nashif - 1 month ago

Tasty burger! Second time here. Had the regular HB Burger with cheddar and avocado. Cooked as I ordered it. My family ordered the Kobe beef burgers. They reported the meat to be extremely fresh also cooked to their specific order. We got the fried pickle spears to share and loved them. I asked for a martini...dry with 2 olives. Accommodated with a smile. Would go back and refer the place to a friend. Thanks Emily for the smiles and service!

Denise Tarantino - 27 days ago

Quality service. Food was very good. The kids chicken fingers were enough for 2 kids. The burgers were well cooked. Def. Recommend the sweet potato fries. Bison burger tasted about the same as the regular burger.

Jonathan Gough - 1 month ago

I recommend the HB Burger and the Supreme Burger (beef): super delicious although one thing I didn't like about the burger was the onion ring, it was a bit too dry & salty. Oh and don't forget the french fries... it comes with three amazing sauces to dip in. As for their ambience: laid back, clean, and interesting decor, good to come with a group of friends.

This is a fun place to dine in. It is located inside of Bryant Park and right across from a hotel which is considered one of the most romantic in the city. Everything around this place adds to it relaxing vibe. Inside, there is a bar and a spacious dining room. The staff is very friendly and the service is good. While the food average, the prices are not. You are really paying for the environment more so than the food.

Everyone should visit this place. It was over the Christmas holiday that I went. Decorated beautifully. Overlooks the ice skating rink and Bryant Square shopping boutiques for the Holiday. Great location, great food and amazing atmosphere! Very cool place, recommend to anyone looking for a great meal. Food was so good!!

This restaurant is situated right along the edge of Bryant Park behind the 5th Avenue library, overlooking the skating rink and common areas of the park. It has a nice, upscale casual (my term) decor and some fantastic views which I would imagine would only be better in the summertime. I ordered a Moroccan lemon chicken dish which was delicious. It included french fries as a side which was a little surprising, but they too were great so I wasn't complaining! My wife had a steak which was also very nice (though under-cooked the first time due to a miscommunication with the waiter - not his fault). We enjoyed the food and atmosphere and look forward to going back again the next time we are out for an evening in Midtown.

Eric Plent - 14 days ago

A very pretty place to go. I especially enjoy going to people watch at the park during the summer. I usually take friends from OOT there if they want to see Bryant Park and Midtown. The food is good and in all the times I’ve been there the service has been amazing.

Fairly small place, Cozy environment. Great beer selection. Lots of cocktails. My salad was good. I had a steak that was as cooked as desired. Fries were a huge portion and enough for 3 people. Deserts were great. Nice ambience. I really enjoyed dinner.

Nice Belgian cafe with full menu and selection of Belgian beers. The antithesis of almost all other Times Square restaurants. Which is a very good thing. I go there to unwind. Love Times Square but also love getting away from it if that makes any sense.

Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. One of the best filet's I've ever had. Very modern, chic environment with a DJ spinning retro tunes. You won't be disappointed in this dining gem!

Nice place. Food and service could've been better. Had a reservation and waited 45 min. Would've had better food and service at Ruth Chris. Probably will be the 1st and last visit there.

Ambience was stunning and the service was stellar. Items are pricey. We enjoyed the experience but questioned its value vs its cost.

This was a wonderful experience since the ambiance is very contemporary and unique, setting it apart from most fine dining restaurants. The quality of the food was great but for me, it wasn't anything spectacular compared to the competition. That's not to say that I wouldn't go back.
