Such a romantic spot! I love the real candle light. We did the Chef's tasting menu and wine pairing which was delicious. You will not leave hungry! I loved the scallops. Perfect for a date night, anniversary or birthday celebration.

We celebrated our anniversary here and I'm so glad we did! This restaurant is super romantic and is a perfect location to celebrate a special occasion. We enjoyed both the service, as well as the food and drinks! The have beautiful roses and candles set at every table - really helps with the romantic mood. Price-wise it was also not over the top expensive, and in my opinion quite worth the experience. For reservation, make sure to book at least a month in advance and request to sit by the windows if possible. Do mention what special occasion you are celebrating! Food wise - I especially liked the Beef Wellington - the beef on the inside was tender while the outside crust was flaky to create that contrast texture. The mushrooms in between was super flavorful and created a really nice in-between layer. I honestly thought it tasted better than the Beef Wellington I had in Gordon Ramsey's Atlantic City steakhouse. My second favorite was the seared foie gras - super tender and given it was served warm, takes away the stickiness in the texture and adds aroma. The Seared Maine Scallops were also pretty good, although pretty typical, and the Lobster risotto was a tad too sticky. For dessert - I loved loved the Raspberry Napoleon!! It was many layers to the right flaky texture, and fruity and sweet to perfection. The chocolate mousse was also very good, just nothing too out of the world for chocolate lovers. Drink wise - We ordered a cabernet sauvignon to to add to the celebration atmosphere, and it also went well with the food. Overall I triple recommend this place for celebrating anniversaries and birthdays, will try to bring my parents here for a future night!

Amazing place! Great food and drinks, the service is impeccable and they have a stunning decoration. Very disappointed that I didn’t see any ghosts though… maybe next time =)

We went here for my husband’s birthday, expecting a romantic and high-end experience. Instead, the service felt entirely unremarkable—almost as if attention to detail wasn’t part of their business model at all. First, the seating. They placed us at a cramped two-top across from each other, even though there were round tables for two where we could’ve sat side by side—something we would have much preferred. There was nowhere to put my designer bag except the floor, which immediately set the tone for the night. Then came the food. I made it clear that I’m pescatarian, yet they brought out a chef’s compliment: a quail egg with pancetta. When I asked if they could serve it without, the runner went back to the kitchen—only to return and say they couldn’t. How does that make sense? Just don’t put the pancetta on top. Am I crazy for thinking that’s an easy fix? To make it even more absurd, they only left the dish for my husband and took mine away. Since when do restaurants take food back like that? It was half a quail egg. My husband would’ve eaten it—why waste it? To be fair, the food itself was outstanding. The branzino was the best I’ve ever had. But for a birthday treat? They gave us two tiny cookies and two pieces of marmalade. Not exactly a grand gesture. I get the concept. It’s upscale, it’s intimate, it attracts a certain clientele. But let’s be real—$450 for dinner, and nothing about the experience felt special (besides the food). If I’m paying that much, I expect more than just good flavors. There are plenty of places with fresh, delicious food for a fraction of the price and with actual attention to detail. This place wasn’t exclusive or exceptional—it just felt like they knew they could get away with the bare minimum and still charge a premium.

My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday. Food and service is amazing. I had the tuna app, Branzino and apple dessert. Very romantic and quiet setting.

OMG soooo good!! Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place sooner!! The best food and service! I’m a Texan always looking for great tacos/Mexican/margs…6.5 years later finally found it!
Ariel Bailey - 3 months 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.

The BEST no frills taco and mexican joint. Drinks and food are just perfection 🤌🏼

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 - 6 years ago

A perfect & authentic Mexican dinner filled with flavour & love! Amazing portions, the guacamole is the real deal & the servers are sweethearts. A great choice before or after a comedy show! I will be back when I visit NYC again!

We originally found this restaurant bc it’s below the Friends apartment, although the show used the exterior and was not filmed in the apartment. We thought we were being seated in the restaurant and they took us to their secondary location, just a store or two door. A little disappointed since the reservation was made in advance and one of us was a huge Friends fan. The food. Good to great. There are limited vegetarian items and you need to ask, bc depending on your strictness, some things container chicken broth, oyster sauce, etc. However I was happy with their accommodations. I had the burrata and a salad. The rest of the table had a variety of items, their overall favorite were the French fries. Would maybe come again.

A thoroughly charming and intimate American bistro in the West Village. Food couldn't be more delicious. And the service was as good as it gets. The roast chicken was sublime. Try the spicy green beans as well. This is sometimes a tough reservation to get but keep trying. You won't be sorry. A New York classic.

Little Owl, located in Manhattan’s West Village, is a charming and intimate restaurant that boasts a cozy, neighborhood vibe. Its iconic corner exterior is instantly recognizable as the apartment building featured in the TV series Friends, making it a must-visit spot for fans of the show. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired, with standout dishes like the Gravy Meatball Sliders and the perfectly cooked Pork Chop. The quality of the food is complemented by warm, attentive service and a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere. While the space is small, it adds to the intimate charm, though reservations are highly recommended. Overall, Little Owl is a delightful mix of nostalgia for Friends enthusiasts and an exceptional dining experience for food lovers.

Food and service was exceptional. The atmosphere is loud but it was expected. Little Owl is a cozy, charming restaurant offering delicious, high-quality American cuisine. Known for its intimate setting and warm atmosphere, it serves flavorful dishes with a creative twist. A great spot for a memorable meal!
Genrev Naig - 2 months ago

We spent our Christmas Eve dinner this year at Little Owl and absolutely loved it. The food was fantastic—tender and flavorful pork chops and perfectly grilled sea bass. We finished with brownies topped with gelato, which was the perfect end to our meal. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the limited and pricey wine selection. We wish they had more affordable full-bottle options. We’ll definitely be back!

I got the plain cheese, the cheese pecorino and pepper version and the pepperoni. Pepperoni = 9.7 Plain cheese = 9.2 Pecorino parmesean pepper = 8.4 As you see the pepperoni is to die for. The key ingredient here is the pepperoni which is if high quality. Usually peperoni on pizza is just generic crap but John's of Bleecker St is obviously using a higher grade pepperoni for their pizza. A+. The dough is very good very high quality but not the very best I've ever had. The sauce for their pizza is very good with a super subtle sweet flavor that is like a good marziano tomato. Just tastes fresh and well suited to the pizza. Excellent sauce. The cheese mozzarella is good not the very best I've ever had which would have helped the cheese pizza score more. The pecorino and parm again not the best quality there so that was my least favorite but still am excellent pizza you can't miss. The cook was superb with a not too thin crust that was cooked to perfection for each pie. A+. Worth the wait. They get people in and out. There is a cookie place diwn the street called chips something. That's very good for desert too.
Christian Matthias - a month ago

Let’s start with the food, John’s of bleecker street is easily a top slice in the city. The quality ingredients and flavor that comes with every bite is awesome. Good crisp and undercarriage are noticeable even though you don’t have to wait a long time for your pizza to cook. Service is top notch as well. These guys were on it and kept things flowing without you feeling like you were being rushed. Atmosphere is truly awesome, you don’t get this vibe from modern restaurants these days. The history and quality of food have kept this at the top for so many years and will continue to do just that. When you’re here, take it all in because it’s a great overall experience and you’ll enjoy every bite / minute.

This was my personal favorite pizza restaurant on my NYC pizza crawl. The only downside is they don't sell by the slice, but the reality is the pizza is so good you probably want to get a whole pie. We got the margarita pizza - basically, I know, but it did not disappoint. Even better than Joe's pizza. Will definitely come again!
Joseph Pratt - in the last week

We went in a group early so wait was short. The service was really good. The calamari was perfect. We ordered 3 pies, the crusts are thin but too much sauce especially the Jimmy Gambino pies, that made it too soggy. Would love less sauce and crispier crust on the bottom. Will visit again just for the experience.

Wow. I was hoping the restaurant would deliver based on the hype and we were not disappointed! We got two pizzas and both were probably the best we’ve ever had. Just perfect. We waited 15 minutes to get in; the line moved fast. Service was great, vibes were great. A perfect NYC experience!

I loved everything about Palma. The atmosphere, the food, the service, even the restrooms were all above and beyond. The food is very rich in flavor and ingredients. Sauces and handmade pasta were all outstanding as well as the focaccia. We celebrated a birthday and the lemon sorbetto was on the house! We sat outside in the garden area which is all enclosed. Absolutely beautiful experience.

Good food ..not exceptional. Although my first time but feels like I tasted this before in several places . Ambiance was excellently decorated and noise level was good to have conversations. They can improve the quality of chairs. Service was ok ..just ok. It did lack a smile.
Tarek Farahat - a week ago

Palma is one of those rare restaurants where the ambiance and food quality are perfectly in sync. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner or a special night out with friends, this place delivers an incredibly warm, intimate experience. The garden is especially charming—like a secret escape in the middle of the city. Highly recommend ordering a mix of the pastas, the focaccia, and the artichokes. And don’t skip the Tiramisu—it’s the perfect ending to a beautiful meal.
Cody Rasmussen - a month ago

If you have not yet experienced Palma, be sure to make a reservation today! Outstanding Italian food, vegetarian options available, extraordinary service, and a magnificent enclosed garden room make for a truly memorable meal.
Viri Pettersen - 2 months ago

Spent a long time looking for the perfect place to celebrate my daughter’s bday. Palma was that place. Its authentic Italian cuisine was above par and exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was just lovely and was just perfect for a 22 year old’s birthday with all the beautiful flowers and decor. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you Palma for making our families evening so special.

We stopped here a few weeks ago in mid-November on a beautiful and sunny Sunday. The main focus of my visit was the much-talked about banana pudding, but we ordered a few other items as well. There is no seating, so we enjoyed our dessert at a park around the corner. The banana pudding was a great size for the $5 price. Definitely a good amount without going past the "snack between meals" line. It was very good with a whipped texture and prominent banana flavor. It is most likely the best I have had in the north, but the ones down south are hard to compete with. My husband really enjoyed his blondie- I didn't even get to try it - and I sampled the key lime icebox bar. I thought it had good flavor and texture; some tang without overwhelming you. I purchased a (regular vanilla with vanilla frosting) cupcake - also due to the hype - and this was honestly my least favorite of the items. It was "just okay" for me; not bad, but not special either. This location in the West Village is a great additional stop to make if you are walking the neighborhood.

The banana cream pudding is as good as they say it is! I was just going to try a little and save the rest for dinner, but I couldn’t help myself! I had to run to the nearest town house step and gobble this baby down! It had chunks of cake and fresh bananas folded into the buttery pudding mixture. The service is super quick and they provide spoons so you can walk and eat! This is something you will want to try more than once in New York!

I stopped by Magnolia Bakery because, of course, Sex and the City made it a must-see. I grabbed a red velvet and vanilla cupcake to-go, and it was such a fun experience, especially since I could totally connect it to the show. The cupcakes were delicious! I’m already planning my next visit to try the banana pudding and cheesecakes!

Hi, 👋 👋 👋 👋 "I'm still reeling from the incredible experience of indulging in Magnolia Bakery's heavenly treats! My cousins, who reside in the US, have been raving about this iconic bakery for years, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it out. The moment I stepped into the bakery, I was hit with the intoxicating aroma of freshly baked goods. The display case was a visual feast, with an array of colorful cupcakes, decadent cakes, and delicate pastries that seemed almost too beautiful to eat. But eat we did! My cousins recommended the famous Banana Pudding, and oh boy, it did NOT disappoint! Creamy, rich, and indulgently sweet, it was love at first spoonful. I also tried the signature cupcakes, which were moist, fluffy, and bursting with flavor. What truly sets Magnolia Bakery apart, however, is the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly, attentive, and passionate about sharing their love of baking with customers. Thanks to my cousins for introducing me to this slice of heaven! If you're a fan of exceptional baked goods, do yourself a favor and visit Magnolia Bakery ASAP. Your taste buds will thank you

Finally tried magnolia bakery in NYC. This location didnt have a very long queue unlike the one at Times square. We easily got through and placed ordered, Banana pudding (that's what most of the people were ordering) chocolate cupcakes and a brownie to go. The pudding was creamy, airy and delicious 😋, didn't try the cupcakes (gave it to friends) I am sure it would be equally good as it looked delicious 😋

An excellent bar. We’ve been coming here for years. It gets very crowded and boisterous during sports games, and sometimes a very young crowd with NYU down the street, but it’s great in terms of variety. It can be quiet and cozy or a real party. The tap list is excellent, the bartenders friendly and helpful even when it’s busy. 24 taps, and solid nachos!

Top notch ambiance, ultra friendly service, and very good food. The Bucatoni Nero and Wagyu Caparccio was the highlight for us. We actually walked away very satisfied and full spending about $70/per person after tip. Overall Will highly recommend! The flavors are pretty on point

I’ve been to L’artusi three times now and it’s easily my favourite pasta spot in the city! Must orders IMO are the spaghetti and the garganelli but you really can’t go wrong!!! Worth noting that portions are very civilised but probably seen as small for ‘American standards’ which means you won’t have leftovers BUT you can order multiple pastas so I personally see this as a plus!! I went with a girl friend for dinner recently and we ordered three pastas to share - no regrets 😂 People also love the olive oil cake here - it’s good but I found it a little too heavy after all the pasta!!

Really nice service. Very attentive for personal preference and allergies etc. The food itself was great. Starters are better than pasta and desserts. Roasted mushrooms was so good. Kind of understand why getting a reservation here is like competing in an Olympic sport.
Zee Mai - 2 weeks ago

Authentic Italian Perfection! The pasta dishes are cooked to perfection, the pasta was delicious and flavorful, and the service is top-notch. But what really impresses me is the high quality of food. Whether you're a pasta lover, pizza aficionado, or just looking for a delicious Italian meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. I've tried several dishes and can't wait to go back for more! Will I return? Absolutely, again and again!

Had an amazing lunch here last Saturday. My group of 4 was sat immediately (which I appreciate). The service was very quick and attentive despite the place being packed. We started off with the fig and burrata toast and some cocktails. For our main we split three different pastas and the Brussels. I would go into detail about what exactly we ordered, but everything was divine. No matter what you order here, I truly don’t think you could go wrong. The price is comparable to other Italian restaurants of similar quality. I would highly recommend a reservation. You will need it (especially on a weekend).

A mixed experience. The food was good, but not spectacular - the burger was kind of a classic pub burger, lettuce, tomato, cheese. I wasn’t disappointed with it, but it wasn’t something I’d go out of my way to eat again. The schnitzel was a little below average - oddly bone-in, and the seasoning was very low. We also thought the bone marrow poppers were a pretty poor appetizer for the cost, and were very disappointed there. The cocktails were good and we were happy with all of them - the Isabella in particular was delicious and beautiful. The service from our waitress was amazing - she was incredibly kind and helpful, but the security and host started our reservation off wrong. We adhered to the dress code in the email, which they are strict about and I suggest you follow to the letter. No mention of shorts, however, and initially security denied us entry for the fact I was wearing shorts. As we were pulling up the reservation, they admitted other patrons in torn jean shorts, and it wasn’t until I protested that the dress code was inconsistently followed that they admitted us for our reservation. The dinner was to celebrate a promotion, and I really felt this out a damper on the evening - it’s a real shame, since our actual waitress was great!
Blake Rasmussen - a week ago

Complete and delicious experience from start to finish. Delicate and gorgeous cocktails, we had the Amelia and Isabella. Oysters came with homemade sauces. Table-side steak tartar is one of the best Ive had. Portions are massive on the schnitzel. We enjoyed everything and service was impeccable.

From what we heard, this spot used to be a go-to, but is now a bit overcrowded and rowdy for the vibe intended. The bar is super classy, servers have great recommendations, and the drinks are top tier, but we could barely find a place to stand and enjoy our drinks. If I had a redo, I would've tried to go early on a weekday or skip this spot in favor of places where you can enjoy your drink and some conversation with friends!
Jennifer Zimmerer - a month ago

Fantastic cocktail bar in the West Village with a wide variety of creative and well-balanced drinks. Highly recommend making a reservation or arriving early to avoid long waits. My favorite drink was Almost Normal - smooth, complex, and incredibly well-executed. Great atmosphere and skilled bartenders—definitely a spot worth revisiting!
Gregory Ling - a month ago

A hidden away gem, easy to walk past. But once you go inside, wooooow. What a bar, reminds me of Harry’s New York bar in Paris. Not only from its simplistic beauty, but also because whilst being several deep from the bar, the bartender is still passing you menus as soon as you come in and taking your orders. Cocktails are expertly served, with flare and precision. I can see why this is voted in the top 100 bars in the world!

Cozy spot for some excellent beer and a phenomenal burger. The beer selection was great and we were able to try a few. We went in without any expectations but left with a new go to spot in the west village.

Fun small spot with a good cocktail selection in the West Village. I tried the Firm Handshake, Cucumber Gimlet, hot spiked cider, and orange gold. I would not recommend the hot spiked cider because it wasn’t that balanced but everything else was delicious depending on your liquor of preference. The orange gold was pleasant-better than expected and very smooth but not too sweet. People liked the winter chill, which is very mezcal forward. There is Macallan 10 and 12 here but not 15. The crowd skews younger.
