NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Christopher Street - Sheridan Square Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

One If by Land, Two If by Sea was absolutely spectacular. Walking in felt like stepping into a storybook—the soaring ceilings, glowing chandeliers, and beautiful holiday décor created the most magical atmosphere. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The escargot was perfectly prepared, the Beef Wellington was exceptional, the French onion consommé was rich and comforting, and the chocolate soufflé was the perfect ending. Every dish felt special. They offer both a three-course prix fixe and a seven-course tasting menu, which makes the experience feel even more elevated. Yes, it’s expensive—but absolutely worth it for a special occasion or a truly memorable night out. The pianist sat right in front of us and played so gently it felt like the music was floating in the background—elegant, intimate, and unforgettable. The service was impeccable, the cocktails were just as wonderful as the food, and the entire evening felt incredibly romantic. A truly unforgettable dining experience and easily one of the most romantic restaurants in New York.

I had the pleasure of taking my wife here for our anniversary, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I made the reservations, the staff graciously accommodated all my requests. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted at the door and assisted with our coats, setting the perfect tone. The atmosphere was enchanting, and the chef’s curated courses were nothing short of amazing, with outstanding food selections. The customer service (our waiter Albert was great) and hospitality were impeccable throughout. No complaints whatsoever—just pure delight for the evening. If you’re planning on visiting there’s a parking lot right across the street

I booked this for our 10 year anniversary, talk about romantic, candle light dinner. The staff was right there for every move, cleaning up, taking dishes. We did the 3 course meal choice 😋 👌 😉 French soup, salmon, chocolate Thise were my 3 along with an "Oldest Fashioned" Every course we had was simply delicious. A lot of care goes into plating the dish and the presentation when serving it This is a 5 Star experience with a 5 Star price...worth every penny

SUPER OVERPRICED! I overall like the restaurant! Dim lighting, piano, tables are so nice. Price is super high though! They force you to order 3 course meal which is 160$ for each person and at the end of the night we ended up paying 500 dollars for 2 people. I think it’s way too much for the food, service and experience we’ve received. It’s super overpriced.And our waiter smelled stinky.. he definitely needed a shower..unfortunately.

Probably the most romantic restaurant we have been to in NYC. Recommend asking for the window seats overlooking the garden - so pretty. The food was good - we went for the 3 course fixed menu ($165 each) but the beef wellington was so large. Felt like we were paying for such a unnecessary portion that we ended up leaving half which felt so wasteful. We weren't coming away raving about the food and as everywhere in NYC it was expensive. You are more paying for the vibes and how romantic it is. There is live music which really added to the ambience. The service was good but felt over the top with multiple servers per table.

The skirt steak tacos are delicious - but the portions here are tiny. The prices have been going way up over the years. Because of that, I don’t come here as often as I used to.

We had a great night with 9 people. Very comfortable seating for a large group with incredible food, drinks and service. We will definitely come back and we recommend this place to everyone!

Brunch is the way to go here. The menu is exactly the same as dinner, and you get to pick and choose all the food you would ever want to try for $20 for 90 minutes. For an additional $16, you can have unlimited drinks. We came on St Patrick’s Day where they colored their margaritas green. Service was impeccable and prompt, and all the food was delicious. We had all of the tacos, tamales, and quesadillas. Don’t forget dessert. The churros are a must!
Josh Wolfrum - 7 years ago

The best taco shop in the entire West Village, maybe even best in southern Manhattan. Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and service. Hands down the best steak tacos I have had in any borough. Every time I have eaten here it has been an absolute delight. They even have a $20 happy hour special: Three tacos and a drink and it's well worth the price! Angel works Monday through Thursday and makes the best Mango Margarita (frozen and straight) I have ever tasted. A hidden gem of the West Village that deserves way more credit than it's given.

Dani was an absolute legend and the owners should be happy to have her. It made the entire meal and atmosphere Devine. Great Easter 🐣 Brunch. It was what NYC food is all about. From the moment we got there to the moment we left it was just a delicious time.

We absolutely loved this little gem. The sea bass and branzino were amazing. Definitely order the beignets… The staff was very friendly and we had a great time talking with the guests seated next to us. Can’t wait until next time!

Great spot! Food and services top notch. We had the burgers, Gemilli and fish tacos. Highly recommend! We had a great experience on this snowy winter day.

We honestly came just to have a few pictures of the location and we ended up having brunch. Probably one of the best meals we had in New York so far! Really nice! Also, staff was helpful, smiling and respectful. Congrats!
Cosmin Bădoiu - 9 months ago

Skip the line at the other brunch place around the corner, and come to this place instead! We came on an early Monday morning just after they opened. Love the cozy interiors and friendly and attentive staff. Food and drinks were served within ten minutes of being seated. Highly recommend the poached eggs (delicious pork patty!), smoked salmon toast and the beignets. I'll definitely take some of my friends to eat at this place when they come into the city.

Really great little slice. We got a pepperoni with cherry peppers(phenomenal, sweet, pickled, nice spicey kick), and black olives. Crust, the crust was cooked to perfection with the right amount of char for a brick and charcoal oven. Our waiter Chris M was fantastic, fast and accommodating, had our water out within seconds, and grabbed me some parmesean with a smile on his face. The atmosphere was dimly lit(a plus) and had photos of famous people headshots adorning the walls. The tables were well weathered, with names of years worth of patrons lovingly carved into the top. What a great little spot.
Joshua Cornwell - 2 months ago

Loved this place! The service was great! That coal fired oven and years of experience add up to some incredible pizza! Loved the whole place. We got the john's original on half and added kalamata olives to the other side. There was a line to get in, but it moved quickly and was worth the short wait!
Tanner Leavitt - 4 months ago

Very friendly staffs and the store vibe feels very cool for tourist like me! I had so much fun looking at photos on the wall, it was like seeing history! Pizza did not disappoint! I normally prefer simple cheese pizza but here, pepperoni was superior! The hint of spice in the pepperoni paired so well with the simple base. Definitely worth the visit if u like pizza.
pan s - 3 months ago

Really good garlic bread, some of the best! The cheese sticks are ok, average but the dip is delicious and the pizza is sol good. I think my favourite in new york. Their reputation is well deserved.
Robyn Lewis - 4 months ago

we came for a slice of authentic nyc pizza, that odd ball “one bite you know the rules” guy rated this place highly, so it was on our list. waited outside in the cold for 30 minutes, once we got inside and so I just have small and tightly packed the places we understood why. No complaints, pizza was great, seeing the guys in the kitchen, hustling pizzas out, and watching their system was entertaining and impressive. Would go back, can see why it’s popular. Definitely helped make our nyc experience with the kids compete

This was undoubtedly one of the best Italian meals I’ve had since living in NYC! Highly recommend the carciofi fritti (fried calamari), arancini (risotto balls), ravioli Cacio e Pepe (very rich) and Candele Spezzate alla Genovese with GF pene (INCREDIBLE)!!! The La Vie en Rose cocktail was refreshing and the Brunello was delicious. The atmosphere at lunchtime was lovely and the staff were are super friendly. I cannot wait to come back to this restaurant and try everything! The menu was clearly labeled for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. Staff was able to easily accommodate allergies to gluten, nuts, coconut and sesame.
Elizabeth Sara Ross - 5 months ago

Such a beautifully decorated and charming restaurant serving some of the best Italian cuisine I have ever had! Their homemade pastas were incredibly executed, and the flavors were out of this world. The Focaccia and olive oil came out warm and perfectly toasted. The risotto was truly life changing and an absolute must try. Highly recommend dining in the covered outdoor patio as the atmosphere was wonderful. Palma has easily become one of my favorites of all time! Would come back again and again as this place is a destination in itself.
Mel D - 4 months ago

Really love the vibe here. Highly recommended truffle pasta, fig & burrata sourdough, and cheese & ham plate. For me lobster pasta wasn’t bad but average taste.

An Absolute West Village Gem! We just had the most magnificent lunch at Palma and I am still dreaming about it! This restaurant is a true destination. The design and decor are super charming—it feels like stepping into a sun-drenched Italian villa. We were lucky enough to dine in their outdoor covered patio space, and I highly recommend it. It was incredibly romantic and intimate, perfect for a special meal with my partner. We started by sharing the delectable tomato tart along with the radicchio and fig salad. Both were light, fresh, and beautifully executed, proving that even the simplest dishes here are crafted with care. For our main courses, the kitchen really shined: * My partner’s Chicken Milanese was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, and wonderfully moist and juicy inside. * My fresh cod was divine! It was served atop a rich hazelnut cream sauce and complemented by fresh, earthy chanterelle mushrooms. Every bite, from start to finish, was pure joy. Adding to the wonderful atmosphere was the welcoming and friendly hospitality of the staff, which made us feel completely at home. We loved our experience so much that we are already planning a return trip before we leave the city! We can’t recommend Palma enough for a delicious and memorable dining experience.
Amy “FabulousFoodie” - 8 months ago

We finally made it to Palma and everything was fantastic. It was the day after Christmas and it was snowing so it was quieter than usual according to the bartender, Kacey. She was fantastic and made perfect recommendations. We had the focaccia, Tuna Tartare, octopus, meatballs, and Candele Spezzate alla Genovese. Everything was delicious, perfectly balanced and seasoned especially the Candele which we were told is seasonal so it will be off the menu by spring. Go get it!! We finished with one the best tiramisus we’ve ever had.

Blind Tiger is exactly the kind of bar every beer lover hopes to find. The moment you walk in, there's an energy to the place buzzing, lively, and filled with people who genuinely seem to be enjoying themselves. The beer selection is outstanding. Whether you're into classic styles or looking to try something new, the variety and quality on tap are seriously impressive. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend an evening working your way through different pours and still find something interesting every time. What makes Blind Tiger special isn't just the beer it's the atmosphere. It feels authentic, unpretentious, and welcoming, with the perfect balance of neighborhood pub charm and serious craft beer credentials. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates great beer and a great vibe.
Het Shah - 2 weeks ago

I stopped by the Blind Tiger on a Thursday earlier in December and had a great time. I only had drinks, so I can’t comment on the food, but the bar itself was buzzing. It was absolutely packed and standing room only, and the bar was easily two to three people deep. Despite that, the bartenders were on point and had me a beer in under five minutes, which honestly exceeded my expectations. The hardest part was choosing what to drink because their beer list is massive. I started with a Tilted Barn Kölsch and followed it up with a Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold. I originally planned on just one beer, but there is a two beer minimum when using a credit card, and I had no complaints. I enjoyed some good music and caught the Knicks game on TV while enjoying the music. Next time I am in this part of NYC, I will definitely be back to explore more of their impressive beer menu, hopefully with a little more elbow room!

Treasured memories here at all hours of the day, night and wee hours through the years. Very warm and welcoming place with constantly evolving 10/10 tap line (28 to choose from on this day (!) you order by number for ease), good tunes and people and delicious food. One of the great bars in the five boroughs and personally one of my fave watering holes in the US
Wesley H - 4 months ago

Classic west village bar with so many beers on tap they are given a number. Makes it easier to order! Love this spot and have been coming for years and now decades! In the winter their fireplace makes it a super cozy spot on a Sunday night. Def will be back!
Ash N. Smith - 5 months ago

My favorite bar in NYC, hands down. I came here for the first time a few years ago when I was getting big into craft beer, and had heard that one the best tap lists in the world was here. It has never disappointed, and I’ve been back about 15 times. The variety and selection is always incredible. Maine Beer Company, Grimm, The Alchemist, Other Half, Hudson Valley, you name it. And tons of more niche microbreweries, local and otherwise. The bartenders are always super nice. I’m a Mets fan and they put on the games sometimes. There’s a family tree of beers on the wall that I could stare at for an hour. And they give you a plaque on the wall if you ask a bartender to join the connoisseur club and drink 50 beers over time. Still on my way in that regard! Be aware it can get extremely crowded at peak hours. Usually it’s not too bad for happy hour or later at night, and any non-weekend day is pretty spacious, but 10pm on a Friday can be pretty slammed. Regardless, if you find yourself in the neighborhood and have the time, stop by and try a couple new beers!

First off, just want to say that the majority of the food here was great. I really liked the bucatini, tuna tartare, and the focaccia bread. The cacio e pepe was a little bit bland, and this is why I'm docking the food one star. On top of this, the service was lackluster. We were seated right away, which was great, but our waiter/waitress only came by once. Our food, in between the appetizers and the main course, took about 30 minutes to get our pastas. By the time our pastas came, we weren't really that hungry anymore. This is why I am docking service to three stars. The atmosphere is great. The vibe in the restaurant is good. People are having a good time, etc. It's just a little loud, which is normal for a smaller restaurant like this. I cannot ignore the service and the blandness of what some say is such a specialty here. I don't think I'll be coming back.

We had an early dinner. Started of with two cocktails that were excellent. The beet salad was our appetizer the dressing was phenomenal. I had the mushroom main that this restaurant is known for and it was delicious as was my wife tortellini dish. When the waiter had shared the specials me earlier their was a lamb dish that intrigued me so I ordered and it was divine. To end, we asked the waiter for a light dessert, he suggested the panna cotte which was very good . The waiter also suggested two great wines for our dishes. The place was packed but I observed the staff very closely. They were in sync . Everything ran smoothly. The atmosphere one word bohemian Lots of young people and great food. If you want to impress a date go to this restaurant. They have a nice room upstairs. The private dining area has a table which is surrounded by wine bottles, looks like a nice place to celebrate a special occasion. Service was outstanding the waiter was professional and efficient. I dropped my napkin twice and one of the staff picked it without me saying anything. My final two words Eat here.

PHENOMENAL! This place is at the top of its game. Stellar service, an incredible vibe, and top-tier ingredients. There are already a handful of standout dishes I’d go back for in a heartbeat. The Absolute Highlights: Spinach Tortelli: Don’t sleep on this. It is officially one of my favorite pasta dishes anywhere. An absolute flavor bomb of morel mushrooms, spring peas, aged parmigiano, and a touch of lemon zest that sets the whole dish off. It pure happiness on a plate. Superb. Bucatini: If you want the ultimate version of an all-time classic, this red sauce masterpiece is the stuff of dreams. Mushroom & Egg Appetizer: I always order this classic when I see it, but other places often make it too oily. Here, it’s executed to absolute perfection. Bravo. The Focaccia: Stellar. Do not skip it. Great for Sharing: Scallops: Perfectly cooked with an out-of-this-world presentation. It’s very rich, so if you're with a group, definitely share. The Burger: Solid and incredibly rich. We cut it into quarters for a table of four, which was the perfect move. Rabbit Casarecce & Crab Pasta: Both were very good, well-executed dishes. Good dishes: The Tuna & Wagyu Tartares: Both were incredibly fresh, but they just needed a bit more life. They were a touch under-seasoned for me, though I’d happily order them again and just ask for some flaky sea salt on the side. To Finish: The olive oil cake paired with a fresh coffee was the perfect ending. The chocolate torta and cheesecake were also delicious notes to end on. The Service: Top of the line. Kudos to the entire team. I showed up once without a reservation and was turned away so kindly and respectfully—that’s a hallmark of a lovely front-of-house crew. Our servers during dinner were stellar. Keep up the amazing work, I will absolutely be back!

There is a reason Employees Only is consistently named one of the best bars in the world. It never fails to deliver an unforgettable night. Whether I’m coming here myself or bringing friends along, this spot has never once disappointed. The vibe is absolutely electric, the music is perfect, and the energy is unmatched (definitely an amazing spot if you're single!). Just a heads-up: the space is narrow, and it gets packed, so you do need a little patience, but the experience is 100% worth it. The staff is what makes this place truly legendary. At the door, the bouncers Sean and Reese are super nice, welcoming, and just amazing guys who set a great tone right from the start. Inside, But the absolute star of the show is Boki. He is incredibly nice, a true gentleman, and always takes the absolute best care of clients. Every single drink he makes is impeccable, and he always makes sure that the clients like it. As for the drinks, you can't go wrong, but the Fresh Savage and the Porn Star are my absolute favorites. If you want a classic, high-energy NYC night, this is the place to be.

Employees Only is a Prohibition-era cocktail bar and restaurant on Hudson Street that has been one of the better nights out in the West Village since it opened in 2004. The front room is a psychic parlor in theatrical terms, the bar behind it is dark and candlelit and always full, and the kitchen in the back produces food that punches well above what you'd expect from a place that could easily coast on the cocktails alone. The cocktails are the main event and they're excellent, the Ginger Smash and the Provençal being the two that come up most in people's recommendations. The bone marrow is the starter most worth ordering, roasted and rich and served with toast that disappears fast. The roasted chicken is the dinner dish most regulars have settled on, properly golden and served with good sides that suggest the kitchen was paying attention. The beef Wellington is available on weekends only and is the theatrical, properly made version that earns the old-fashioned preparation. Brunch runs on weekends and adds a lighter, mimosa-adjacent energy to a room that usually operates in a midnight-adjacent one.
Must Clemenson - 2 weeks ago

We had the best night at Employees Only! 🍸 A complete and delicious experience from start to finish. All the food we had was amazing, but the table-side steak tartare was one of the best I’ve ever had. We enjoyed everything — our waitress and all the staff were absolutely fantastic, and the midnight burlesque was unforgettable, especially for me 😄. Thank you for an incredible experience! ❤️
Antonio Stojić - 8 months ago

The atmosphere was amazing, especially the cocktails. The West Side cocktail might honestly be the best cocktail I’ve ever had. It has vodka in it, but I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to everyone. The shrimp was also amazing ,honestly one of the best things we ordered. The food was far beyond my expectations. I ordered the EO Burger and my friend got the chicken burger, and we both really enjoyed everything. The truffle fries with the burger were incredible. We only came for dinner this time, but I’d definitely like to come back for the bar as well. The only thing I would mention is that the music was a little too loud, so it was hard to have a conversation.

Curry fries alone are worth the trip ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Popped in with my husband on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time. The scotch eggs and fried chicken sandwich were both solid, but the curry loaded fries are something else — we’re already planning our next visit around them. Good beer selection too. Bonus points for the staff — the place was packed but we never felt forgotten, even sitting in the corner. Really appreciated that!
Melissa Cheng - 2 months ago

My kinda dive bar especially when the happy hour dishes and worth the discount. The chicken sandwich was great, especially the accompanying fries. Cocktails were nicely booze forward and the staff was friendly and attentive. What a fun spot.
Joe (MrSchnydes) - 3 months ago

I highly recommend the chicken sandwich. 10/10. Drinks were also good. A friend got a glass of wine and it came out in an odd cup but still tasted good. Went on a Friday night so our server was all over the place. Gets very loud past 9pm
Macy Brown - 5 months ago

Updated 12/29/25: The fries are good. The drinks were fine. I like that they have bag hooks. It was a lively crowd when we came on a Monday evening around 5:30pm. The bartender was rude. I’ve been twice now and not been impressed with the service whatsoever. At one point, I said excuse me, kindly, to get the bartender Derek’s attention, and he literally stuck his finger out to tell me to hold on and said “I’m busy.” With an attitude. It really annoyed me and felt super dismissive. I understand being busy and stressed but there was no reason to take that out on me. He could have handled it differently. First review: Slightly uncomfortable seating, nice waitress last night around 5pm, the bartenders aren’t particularly friendly or hospitable, as in, they barely said hello to me when I sat down and hardly looked at me when we placed our order. Not rude, but definitely room for improvement. The food and drinks were fine and the atmosphere is lively. Cute place for sure.
Emily Fligel - 7 months ago

The drinks (+ selection) were amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic. I was able to get a table but the waitress came off as standoffish and impatient and not very welcoming. That said, the drinks and overall atmosphere made up for it

Super cute restaurant in the West Village. Very small, tight and packed! At least on a Sunday at noon. If you are looking for a menu that has a lot to offer, this is not it. But what they do offer is delicious. Small servings. I ordered the coques madame and my son got the waffle “sandwich” and we were still hungry afterwards, so we split the avocado toast. Be advised- 3 dishes, 1 Americano coffee and 2 ginger sodas was $99 without tip. I still recommend it, but be prepared to spend about $40-50 a person
Tricia Sargeant - 4 months ago

Service is Okay but I said split the bill yet still getting only one bill. The waiter with black hair didn’t stop for a second to ask how I would pay. I was sitting there for minutes waiting for paying with credit card. :( Gladly I have cash so I just left some cash and didn’t pay 20% tips as the bill suggested. Food is decent. Small table, busy place, fair service.

Nice spot in the West Village, located in a really beautiful neighborhood. We stopped by after seeing it recommended online for brunch. The atmosphere is pleasant and it’s easy to see why it’s popular on Instagram. The food was okay—not particularly memorable. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the cocktails were good.
Maylin Perez - 3 months ago

We loved our breakfast here. We went right at open and glad we did because it filled up fast. The coffee was so so good and smooth. We were told it was Italian coffee. We ordered the Belgian waffles and a croque madam. The waffles were delicious but the BERRIES on top were amazing. Would love to try their lunch or menu next trip.
