The drinks and food were amazing and the happy hour is great! The overall vibe of the restaurant is very nice and very clean despite being outside.
Our server Bobby G was very attentive and fun and definitely made the experience even better!
I don’t love mezcal and accidentally ordered a drink with it in it and didn’t end up finishing it and Bobby and who I would assume is the manager Shannon came over and asked if I wanted them to make me any other drink for free and also took the initial drink off our bill. Which was totally unexpected but very appreciated!
Definitely a hidden gem in SoHo and so perfect for the summer!

The cocktail sauce here is, without a doubt, the BEST I have ever had! It was so incredible that I couldn't stop talking about it. I even asked the manager, Shannon, if there was any way I could purchase some to take home with me to Delaware.
To my surprise, Shannon arranged for Chef Henry to come out and speak with me personally. I told him just how amazing, delicious, and outstanding I thought the cocktail sauce was. What happened next completely exceeded my expectations—Chef Henry generously gave me a quart of the cocktail sauce to take home!
That level of hospitality and customer service is truly above and beyond. Chef Henry, Shannon, and the entire team made my family and me feel completely welcome and right at home. The service was spectacular from start to finish, and their kindness and attention to detail made our visit unforgettable.
Thank you to Chef Henry, Shannon, and the entire staff for an exceptional experience—and for serving the best cocktail sauce I've ever tasted! We will absolutely be back whenever we're in town.

An Absolute Gem! A Must-Visit for Any Occasion!
Stepping into this place is like walking into a Pinterest board that came to life. The atmosphere is effortlessly cool and incredibly charming, with just the right amount of cozy and chic. The decor is a perfect blend of minimalist design and playful accents—think lush green plants around you and natural lighting that makes everything feel warm and inviting. Food was divine too, every dish I had - oyster, burrata salad, pizza and fish tacos - was absolutely delicious.
What I love most is how versatile this spot is. It's perfect for a low-key cocktail date, an intimate dinner with a loved one, or a celebratory brunch with your entire crew. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu, which just adds to the wonderful experience. Whether you're looking for a new go-to spot or a place to celebrate, I highly recommend Gilligans!

This place is so cute! It’s giving Hamptons. We got the oysters lobster roll and the corn and all were delicious! I absolutely loved the vibe and all of the greenery. It’s perfect for grabbing drinks during the day or having a dinner date and girls night in the evening. You need a reservation as it gets busy on the weekends.

This is a great place for "Trading Hour" from 5p-7p. Large bar accommodates small and large groups. Great place for business dinners and for couples alike. Menu has a great selection of options, delicious appetizers and entrées will satisfy even the pickiest among you.
We absolutely love the Mushroom & Truffle croquettes, and the Porterhouse for two.
The Coconut Panna Cotta is divine, and the doughnuts we had last year were amazing!!
If you haven't yet, definitely check out Macao Trading Company, located in the center of everything!!!

The place is gorgeous, maybe one of the most beautiful restaurants I've been on. It's really breathtaking when you walk in. The food was great and the portions are very generous. I don't know if it was because it was a busy night but the I feel the service was a bit messy. I was eating alone and end up feeling a bit neglected. But everyone was very polite and sweet. Keep up with the great job guys! :)

Been here several times and I really enjoy coming here! Made a reservation last minute for a group of 6 and they were able to accommodate. If it’s just you and one other person going, I recommend sitting at the bar. It’s comfortable sitting and quick services and a good time overall. My experience has been good for the most part each time I have gone except for 1 time. I ordered a whiskey sour at the bar while waiting to get seated and it was perfect but then once I got seated, I ordered another whiskey sour from our waitress (assuming her name was Jess but not 100% sure, that was the name on our receipt) and it wasn’t good. They made it different than the first one I had; the second one had no egg white foam, it had a lemon, and it’s tasted like a lemon drop and nothing like a whiskey sour. I kindly asked our waiter, Jess if it was possibly a lemon drop instead of a whiskey sour and explained why I thought that but she was adamant that it was a whiskey sour. I explained that my 1st drink didn’t have a lemon curl in there and it tastes sour and her response was “so what if there’s a lemon curl”…and she rudely snatched my drink and as she walked back to the bar, she sipped on it I’m guessing to prove whatever point she was trying to prove. She came back and replacement my drink which I appreciate but I just found that experience to be so “off”. I’m normally not picky at all and I try to be mindful based on how busy it is and I’m super kind when approaching waiters/waitresses about something I don’t like which is why I felt so annoyed about her response. If a customer doesn’t like something, why go back and forth with them…just simply replace it. It’s not like I’m asking for a whole meal replacement. However other than that one experience, everything else was great and the service overall was good. The manager (assuming he was the one wearing a suit) was super kind and checked in a few times. Still highly recommend checking this place out if you haven’t done so. They also have a downstairs bar/lounge area where you can check out after dinner. The music was sooo good, vibes were fun, was a bit crowded to my liking but that’s expected.

Loved this spot in Tribeca! I’m all about a fun food experience - not just great dishes, but the whole vibe - music, ambiance, service. This place really has character. It’s a Portuguese-Chinese concept with a menu with lots of seafood options and a pretty good cocktail list.
Everything we ordered was great, but the standout for me was the steamed mussels - the coconut broth was so flavorful and delicious. Also, definitely recommend getting the BBQ short ribs with the vegetable rice. They compliment each other so well, though the rice lacked sauce.
I didn’t get a chance to try their famous lobster noodles, but this is why I’m coming back. Perfect spot for a night out with friends or a fun date - just a heads-up, the music can be loud.
Mary Grant - 11 months ago
Absolutely electric bar in NY! Feel like if I were looking for a place to get a cocktail in Tribeca, this would be at the top of my list. The drink that I got, which was a variant of the lychee martini, was absolutely divine. You instantly feel like you’re thrown into an early aughts NY tv show/movie as you enter the bar in the best way. The perfect blend of energy, well executed drinks, and conversation to remember!

Great brunch spot and the food is always comforting! It’s usually a less wait if you’re a larger party. We’ve been multiple times now and we’ve waited no more than 5 minutes when we have larger parties of 6 or more. Wait times can get longer if you’re a group of 2 or 3.
Their fried chicken is some of the best I’ve had. The pancakes are always fluffy and very filling. I prefer the sourdough pancakes only because they’re thinner and not as heavy. They have great fresh oj as well. The vibe inside is always fun and good energy in the mornings.
Anushka Mankunath - 3 weeks ago
I wanted to try the hyped Bubby’s pancakes that everyone talks about. We went on a Sunday around 2 PM and had to wait about 40 minutes, which is probably normal for a popular brunch spot in NYC on the weekend. The staff was very friendly and the interior was cute. However, our table was next to the window and it was quite cold there.
The food was good, but not something I would say is significantly better than other good brunch places in NYC. We ordered the green omelette with potatoes, fries, and apple chicken sausage, as well as the pancakes with banana, berries, and Nutella.
Overall, it’s a solid brunch spot, but given all the hype, I expected a bit more.
Eva Baur - 3 months ago
Came here for brunch on a busy Saturday morning with the lines out the door but we somehow, some way, ended up being seated pretty quickly as a group of six.
This neighborhood staple, American flare, super popular brunch spot is all about cooking scratch made with a very homey feel.
Their James Beard pancakes are a must. They’re extra fluffy and filling, so sharing is highly encouraged. Be sure to order their flaky biscuits served with fresh butter and jam, you will thank me later. Also, their little coffee mugs are tbe CUTEST!
We also ordered a little something savory and got the huevos rancheros (minus the eggs). Soooo flavorful and delicious!
Loved this spot, the energy, the food and the great company we were with =)
Also, we sat in the same area as The Devil Wears Prada, like what???

These might be the BEST pancakes I've ever had in nyc! So thick, fluffy but still flavorful! The eggs and sausage were also good! 10/10 worth the wait! Also the photo booth downstairs is so vintage and cute!!

A very vibrant and full-of-character brunch spot in Lower Manhattan, perfect for a weekend outing! The menu offers a wide variety of options, so there’s something for everyone. The service is fast, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.
The food tastes incredibly fresh and flavorful. Their signature buttermilk pancakes are an absolute must-try! It is soft, rich, and delicious.
One thing to keep in mind: they don’t take reservations on weekends, so you might have to wait in a long line. That said, it’s definitely worth it.
The only downside for me was the fried chicken. It came as thigh and drumstick pieces that were mostly bone and not very enjoyable. I’d probably go for something else next time.
Overall, a great spot that I’d happily come back to!

Came for Lunch and was surprised at how nice and cozy the restaurant is. The Ambiance is pretty good and the service as well. The food was pretty good. The appetizer I had was really good especially when paired with thier bread. The calamari is also pretty good and well portioned. For the main course the pasta was cooked well and the sauce and seafood was excellent. All in all it was a true tuscan delight, I highly recommend this place.

Went for a friend’s birthday party, the service and the food were superb.
The setting is a little rustic and traditional but for me that is part of the charm of the place.
The endive salad was very good.
The truffle panna cotta and the branzino were great.
The espresso coffee was fine but not great.
The ricotta cheesecake was one of the best I’ve tried in New York.
Highly recommended.

Best Italian food ever! We had the grilled eggplant with smoked mozzarella, lamb and beef meatballs, and homemade pasta with boar ragu. All were delicious! The homemade ricotta cheesecake was the best dessert I’ve ever had! So light and not too sweet, filled with vanilla buttery goodness! The service was excellent!

After leaving several spots in SoHo due to long wait times and tiny seating areas, we stumbled upon this delightful gem. It’s classic old-school Italian with jazz playing in the background. The food and service were both excellent. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to NYC.

We had made a reservation for 2 people at the restaurant. We were seated upstairs near a screen shielding the restroom, and a view to the busy kitchen. Throughout our dinner there were patrons waiting to use the restroom. Halfway through, the screen was moved to give us full view of restroom and more people waiting to use it. Not a pleasant setup for a nice meal. In addition, empty plates and unused utensils were cleared from our table while one of us was still eating. This was unnecessary, rushed and impolite. During dessert we were presented with the bill and the device to pay with a credit card while we were still eating dessert and finishing our cocktails. Again, unnecessarily rushed and rude!
The food was very good although pricey. Unfortunately no prices indicated on the online menu when we booked and that should have been an indication of what to expect. The burrata salad was about $28 and 3 cocktails came to $75, striploin entree was $68. The bill was $350 for 2 people (incl tip). Given the ambience and the feeling of being rushed we were not thrilled with how much we ended up spending for 3 cocktails, 2 salads, 2 entrees and 2 desserts, tip (and $10 fee for using a credit card).

heard great things about Walkers. Unfortunately the bar area was full and we were seated in the next room over. No one’s fault but it’s not as fun of a vibe. We ordered the bruschetta, meatloaf and french dip with french fries. Also got a side of spinach.
Our appetizer came after our entrees which makes me not want the appetizer but we ate it and it was ok. The meatloaf and french dip was very good. Our server was ok not great.

I’ve been coming to Mr Chow Tribeca since I was 18, and it truly feels like a second home. The team treats me like family and consistently goes above and beyond in every way.
“Classic Chow’s” has become our go-to for girls’ nights — it’s a ritual at this point. The food, the energy, the atmosphere… always a 10/10. There’s a reason this is a true NYC staple.
The management is exceptional — attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in creating an unforgettable experience every time.
Forever one of my favorites 🤍
Sofia Bianchessi - 2 months ago
Mediocre food, Small Portions, Overpriced.
Hosts at the front were extremely kind a welcoming. Service was good but they kept pushing for the family style menu. Drinks were extremely strong and not balanced at all.
The menu is hard to follow and needs to be revised. There are no ingredients or preparations for the dishes so you have to ask your server about every item.
The food came out extremely quick, 10 mins or less. You can tell that everything is pre-prepared and plated to order. This is further aided by the fact that the food was lukewarm/borderline cold. The steak had good flavor and the velvet chicken was interesting but lacked proper presentation.
2 drinks 2 entrees and 1 side equated to $202. Not worth it at all.
Justin Boykin - a month ago
Dining at Mr. Chow was an experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between upscale and inviting—stylish, lively, and just the right amount of buzz. What truly stood out, though, was the incredibly attentive staff; every detail was handled seamlessly, making the whole evening feel effortless.
The food absolutely delivered, but it was the combination of ambiance and service that made it memorable. We left already talking about when we could come back—and honestly, we’re already planning a trip to New York City just to dine there again.

Mr. Chow is a real showstopper. From the moment you step inside, you'll be treated to a world of elegance and refinement. The food is topnotch, and don't even get me started on the lychee Martini it's a real 'martini to be around'! All in all, Mr. Chow is the perfect spot for any special occasion or night out with loved ones.

I am in NYC several times a year. This is my absolute favorite place to go. The staff, from owner to cook, are friendly and welcoming. I live in NC and, while there for my birthday in January, they brought me a slice of cake and had the entire bar sing happy birthday to me. Paul is the absolute best bartender of all time. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Plus, they have excellent food. Thank you to the Broome Street family for welcoming me and always making me feel like a local.

The waiter got mad at me for ordering French fries at the bar when I was sitting with a group in the back. His associate gave me a choice to either close out or continue ordering at the bar, only to be hassled by a rude server. They literally gave my fries to another customer in spite. Sad because the bartender totally understood the scenario but was powerless. These servers are out of control. And you know what… Kenn’s is a glorified dive bar! Not a restaurant. Get real or at least get better servers who won’t go to war with a customer over ordering fries at the bar. I told them to forget the order and take it off my bill. Literally this server passed up money all to prove a stupid point, which was even warranted to begin with because I got permission from another staff member to keep my tab at the bar. So lame.

Loved my Mexican themed brunch at this 35 year old SoHo Institution last week. Everything is super fresh and homemade. Absolutely devoured the shrimp fajitas and quesadilla
The vibes are super chill and the menu is East L.A. themed with an assortment of brunch classics and some of their house specials like the fajitas and an array of tacos and burritos.

Our Love Story (and Margaritas) Start at Lupe’s.
It’s time to write a review for the most important restaurant in Soho NYC to me and my husband. Lupe’s isn’t just a place; it’s where our love grew, from dating to marriage. I’ll never forget how, when my husband was still my boyfriend, he’d always stop by before seeing me to grab a margarita. Three years later, it’s still his favorite bar,his ritual. After work, you’ll find him here, greeted by the kindest bartenders who treat him like family (and pour the most generous drinks). and of course the margaritas are the best in town!!! Period❤️❤️❤️
The corner spot, with its neon glow and lantern style lighting, feels like a secret hideaway romantic, cozy, and alive with energy. Summer nights on the patio under those red lights just so magic!
We’ve ordered takeout many times, but tonight we sat at my favorite corner table outside and had a proper feast: the vibrant shrimp salad, crispy fish tacos, tender beef tacos, and the most perfectly cooked fish plate. And the flan? Hands down the best, tortillas are so yummy 🤤 😋 and authentic, the taste just can bring you back to Mexico! Portions are generous, flavors are bright, and everything tastes impossibly fresh, no surprise, since the entire kitchen team is from Mexico.
But what makes Lupe’s special isn’t just the food or drinks,it’s the people. The staff radiates warmth, making every visit feel like coming home. You can always find the owner inside and make sure every dish and drink is perfect, so friendly to the customers. Lupe’s is the institution ❤️ Funny enough, if I ever can’t reach my husband? I know exactly where he’ll be: at Lupe’s, drink in hand, happy or (occasionally) mad at me. It’s his sanctuary.
To the team: Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to many more years of tacos, margaritas, and memories. If you love Mexican food, Soho charm, or just feeling like family, Lupe’s is your spot. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s a piece of our hearts.

I had to swing by Lupe's while I was doing some Mr. Robot related sight seeing. The food was fantastic and the portion size was great. House marg was nice, too! By the time I was done with my meal there were a bunch of people waiting to be seated, so I'm guessing it's a local fave. I can see why! Luckily for me, the Dark Army was nowhere to be found. RIP Cisco.

We randomly stumbled into Antique Garage SoHo on a Sunday afternoon while walking around SoHo. Unfortunately, I wish we had kept walking and eaten somewhere else. The ambiance is what convinced us to sit down. It truly is beautiful inside! The artwork, vintage frames, and chandeliers give the restaurant a unique atmosphere. I'd love to give this spot another try since I have heard many positive things about their dinner service and live jazz nights.
To start, I typically order tap water at any restaurant I visit and have never had an issue at any other restaurant in the city. The tap water here had a very unpleasant aftertaste. For an appetizer, we got the Tirokafteri, which had spicy Greek feta, roasted red pepper
spread, breadcrumbs, and extra virgin olive oil. It was good but very spicy.
The Durum Kebab Sandwich was very good. We originally chose chicken over lamb until our server told us twice not to get the chicken, and they said it a little rude. We ended up taking the recommendation and were glad we did. The lamb was flavorful and tender.
I also ordered a burger and it was okay, but nothing I would ever order again for $28+. Overall, the food did not live up to the beautiful atmosphere. I'd be willing to give this spot another try for dinner, but I'm not rushing to come back.

If I could give a million stars, I would.
We had dinner tonight at Antique Garage, and I am still thinking about how incredible the food was. My husband is from Türkiye and even he said it was better than any Turkish restaurant we have tried in the United States.
From the appetizers to the main courses to dessert, every single dish was spectacular. The flavors were authentic, rich, and perfectly balanced. My relatives were genuinely shocked at how good everything tasted. At one point we were all just looking at each other saying, “Wow.”
The hospitality was just as impressive as the food. The hostess Paulina was so gracious. We had a reservation for six, arrived late, and ended up with seven people, and she still accommodated us without hesitation. She even came over with hot tea and checked on us throughout the evening. The servers were attentive, warm, and made the whole experience feel welcoming and special.
The atmosphere is stunning. It’s rare to find a place that is both aesthetically beautiful and serves truly exceptional food, but this restaurant absolutely delivers both.
If you are looking for an unforgettable Turkish dining experience in New York, this is the place.
We will absolutely be back.

Antique Garage Soho is one of my faves in the city. I went this time with a large group, and despite that, the servers were incredibly attentive and kind throughout the night. The food never disappoints. My first time ordering hummus and i loved the it!!! The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, the octopus was unbelievably soft and delicious, and the fish was perfectly prepared. This was my third visit, and every single time the food has been excellent.
I also adore the antique, lovely vibe of the space. It always feels warm, charming, and special, like stepping into another era. Highly recommend this spot for date nights or any occasion when you want great food and a lovely atmosphere.

Come for the vibes, not necessarily the food. They converted a mechanic's garage in a really cool way.. dripping with chandeliers, mismatched antiques, and candlelit charm. Very SoHo without being too try-hard
12 of us went in for weekday lunch. They did a stellar job of accommodating us. The Mediterranean food (mezes, kebabs, grilled octopus) was solid and tasty.. didn’t blow our minds, but no complaints
Good spot if you want to chill, grab a drink and people watch

The restaurant was a little bit disappointing. The space is interesting knowing that it was a garage space. The interior is busy but nice. The menu has many options but the food was disappointing in terms of taste and portions knowing the cuisine. The traditional chicken skewer was boring and tasteless. The baba ghanouj was ok and the cheese rolls were good. The service was okay but needs attention. Overall disappointing!
