I've been wanting to try Shuka for a while, and I finally got the chance! We decided to go all in with the Shuka Feast, and it was absolutely worth it--delicious and plentiful. Here are some highlights: The fried halloumi, a semi-sweet fried cheese, was incredible--an instant favorite. Among the dips, the labne with tangerine and honey and the squash moutabel stood out as top-notch. The turmeric rice was a standout too, packed with flavor from cranberries and fried onions--I couldn't get enough of it! The Niman Ranch sirloin steak, while slightly tough and chewy, delivered fantastic flavor, and the grilled lamb was another solid choice. The za'atar fries were tasty, and we also tried the spit-roasted chicken shawarma. While the chicken was juicy, it didn't quite win me over and could've been skipped. Service was excellent--attentive and welcoming. Overall, the food was really good, and I'd definitely return. Highly recommend! :)

Been here many times and food is always so delicious! Highly recommend. Spacious restaurant and airy, outdoor seating for spring. Food: Consistently delicious. This time we got two dips and the Fattoush Salad- good portions sizes and filling. Service: Usually a bit slow, but not an issue since usually we come here to hang out. I wouldn’t go here if you’re trying to get in and out though- their staff seem to be slim for all the tables they need to wait on. Atmosphere: Excellent. Good seating options for small groups or big groups. Indoor and outdoor options available too. This place always gets packed though so go during off times or put in a reservation.

Nailed every aspect of the dinner. We sat outside on a Friday night. The drinks came out as soon as the waiter went back inside. Food came out just as fast. The feta pistachio and fava dips are flavorful and light. Presentation was very colorful and fresh. Lamb kebabs and Ras El Hanout kebabs were both perfectly cooked, not dry not under done. Served with fresh greens. The spicy sauce is like a fresh Sambal, very nice. The frozen Liminata was not too sweet, very nice. Best meal I've had in a long time. Friday night chefs and service was on their A game.

The cocktail with the sesame was unbelievably balanced, delicious and refreshing. Our server was so patient and helpful. We followed his recommendations and shared a dish for each course. Honestly, I wish we lived closer so we could return regularly. Our table was outdoors - it reminded me of the European cafes we've enjoyed; the communal and multi cultural awesomeness.

The pub has such a great, lively vibe - we felt totally at ease laughing and having a good time with friends. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is beautiful and the service is excellent- warm, friendly and kind. I recommend to try the chicken fried, (see the picture) it’s totally good to share with someone.

Really excellent place to come! Notable mentions: - the coffee was surprisingly good, a 7.8 flat white served up! - the Key Line Donut 🍩 was the best dish we had, great softness and flavour to sweetness ratio! The other dishes were good but not great. - Fried Chicken crust was too crunchy and fell off the meat easily - the deviled eggs were perfectly average - the frittata was good but had too much cheese and not enough crusting

Five star food and service. We were very pleasantly surprised by the duck meatloaf; not something you find often on the menu. The rest of the food tasted great too - hummus, steak tartare (of which we ordered two, the second one for dessert), and the strip steak. There is a $55 corkage fee per bottle (we were told $50 on the phone in case you hear the same).

I was recently here for dinner and my experience was pretty good. Our server was very friendly and most of the food was delicious. The crab deviled eggs were a delicious appetizer. For my entree I ordered the burger, which was not great. I did try some of the fried chicken and biscuits, and they were delicious. Overall my experience was positive and I would return, but I would not get the burger again.

We accidently found this place to have a late lunch/dinner while visiting the area. What a great find. Great atmosphere. Really great waiter and delish food. We started with drinks and devil eggs stuffed with crabmeat. Delish flavor profile. Then we tried the glazed butter biscuit delish. Smoked ricotta pasta and the lobster pasta. All delsih. The strawberry rhubarb pie and chocolate cookies were perfect with the Cappuccino. Our waiter Justin was adorable and perfectly attentive to our every need. The menu was small but perfect because we each found something to enjoy.

My friend and I truly enjoyed the service at Aria’s. We had the Gnocchi and the Soufflé. Both were super yummy. We sat outside so I am unable to comment much on the ambience. But appeared to be very calm and quiet on the inside.

The atmosphere was relaxed, and the bartender she was super friendly. I tried the octopus salad based on her recommendation, and it was absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back!
Bahar Kelekci - 3 months ago

A really good - very reasonably priced - Italian restaurant in West Village - all the food was super tasty and service sizes were generous - including the steaks. Very nice atmosphere - but it is very loud. The service was very good as well. If you need an Italian restaurant in the Village - Aria is a great choice. (We went again recently - and again everything was great. It was much less busy and super pleasant.)

Aria Wine Bar is one of our all-time favorite spots in NYC — we’ve been loyal customers for over 12 years and it never disappoints! The food is always delicious, truly like being back in Italy 🇮🇹 The atmosphere is warm and vibrant, and the service is consistently amazing — friendly, fast, and full of charm. The only (tiny!) downside this time: no mayonnaise for the calamari fritti. I’m not a fan of dipping them in warm tomato sauce. But honestly, everything else was perfect as always. Aria remains a must-visit in the West Village. Thank you for all these wonderful memories over the years! 🥂🍝💛

Such a cute, romantic little spot in the west village. Truly a little “hidden” gem. The pastas are incredible and so are the apps we’ve tried. All plates are under 20 and reasonable!

Fresh, well executed dishes in a stylish West Village setting We stumbled upon Market Table for dinner, drawn in by its modern, minimalistic decor. The ambiance is inviting and understated, perfect for a relaxed evening out. The food was fresh and beautifully presented, with solid flavors, though nothing particularly unique or standout overall. The beet tart like starter was the highlight of the meal and is definitely worth trying if you’re a fan of beets. Service was quick and efficient, and while prices are on the higher side, it’s to be expected in the West Village. A good spot for a clean, seasonal meal in a stylish setting.

We had dinner to celebrate 2025 Mother’s Day . Great food, warm atmosphere and attentive staff. We had 4 small vegetable dishes as starters ( forgot to take photos ). By the time we remembered to take photos, they were all gone! So delicious! We ordered pork, chicken and steak as main courses. Love every one of them. The dessert looks good but we were so full…… next time !
Haini Wang - 2 months ago

Market Table was delicious! We enjoyed the beet tartare, cucumber gazpacho, and focaccia to start. For mains we ordered the chicken and the Atlantic cod, both were wonderful! Drinks were tasty, the vibe was good, and service was excellent. All around this was a solid spot and would definitely recommend!

This was our second visit to this restaurant, returning after a year with high expectations. We had been told that the menu had undergone changes, but in reality, it remained virtually identical to our previous visit. Not necessarily a bad thing—unless you were hoping for something new. We started with the Brooklyn Burrata and the carpaccio. Both appetizers were outstanding: incredibly fresh, beautifully plated, and packed with flavor. The seasoning was spot-on, and the accompanying sauces added a creative and well-executed twist. It was a strong start that set the bar high. For our main courses, we ordered the crispy chicken and the roasted halibut. The chicken dish was overall a hit—crispy skin, tender and juicy meat—but it fell short on seasoning. A touch more salt would have elevated it from good to exceptional. The halibut came with an artful presentation, nestled among vibrant peas, but unfortunately, the flavor didn’t match the visuals. It was a bit bland and underwhelming despite its polished appearance. We also ordered a bottle of Ca’ Furlan Prosecco, which was fine—light and refreshing—but after a quick lookup, we discovered it retails for about $10. Being charged $56 for it left a bit of a sour taste. A 2–3x markup is standard in restaurants, but a 5x increase feels excessive and borderline exploitative. Service, on the other hand, was excellent. Attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the night. All in all, a mixed experience: high marks for presentation and appetizers, but the mains and drink pricing could use some fine-tuning. Would we return? Possibly—but we’d go in with managed expectations and maybe skip the wine list.

Absolutely amazing food and coffee. Market Table is easily one of my top restaurants in NYC. Everything is fresh and flavourful. Staff are friendly and helpful, no matter what time of day you go in. Highly recommended!

A former shell of its pre Covid glory. Only IPA’s on draft and Budweiser as the only bottle/can option. Date ordered white wine and the one bottle they had was warm. The bartender said it was on the house which was nice but he knew that it was a ramshackle operation. A shame because it used to be my favorite neighborhood bar. Not sure what the deal is but hope it passes on to new owners soon.
Harry Lapham - 3 months ago

Server was great. Nice atmosphere, even if it’s a bit barnlike. Pub grub was tasty. We had planned to go somewhere else, but they were open and welcoming here. I would deduct a star for them putting alcohol in my friend’s no-alcohol drink but, in our case, luckily it wasn’t an issue.

Great atmosphere, food and drinks! I love coming here after work, bartenders are friendly and know how to make a good drink. After frequenting this place so much I brought my friend for her birthday and she had a great time. 😃

The food and drinks at The Brooklyneer were pretty good! The prices of drinks themselves were a little high I felt, but food prices were decent so overall it wasn't a crazy bill for a group of us. There are waves of crowd size at any given time, it's either empty or packed, I have yet to experience an in-between. The big negative here is the table service. Drinks took a half-hour to come out, going straight to the bar was within a minute or two every time.

My friend and I came across this place on a Sunday evening. The hostess seated us right away. We ordered the Birria empanadas for starters - so good! For our entrees, I ordered the market plate: salmon with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes, and my friend ordered the market plate: salmon teriyaki with Brussels sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes. We weren’t too pleased with the salmon (tasted a little too fishy for our liking and was very bland); however, our veggies were pretty good. I don’t think I’d order the salmon again - I’d try another type of protein. Overall, this place was good. The staff were very attentive and quick, which we appreciated. I’d give this place another shot and order a different dish.

Visited for dinner on a weekday evening. Was pretty busy when we got there but they managed to seat us as a large party without a reservation (we got lucky I think). Service was spot on and attentive. Consensus across the table was that the food was excellent with decently sized portions. Buffalo chicken, and the cheeseburger, were standouts though. Only thing I would say is that it was pretty noisy on our visit. So much so we had to shout to have any conversations. I'm sure for lots of people that's not an issue :)

Comfort food and great service. Arrive for Sunday brunch with 5 friends with no reservation and was accommodated. Gets busy on weekends and have been here several times. We had the southern bowl, eggs Benedict, waffle and Yuca fries.

Recommended, I always look forward to catching up on my veggie consumption here! Brunch is very good as well. I like this spacious atmosphere and warmly lit vibe of this location. Service was friendly, attentive and prompt. Happy hour til 630p. The veggie plate is the highlight, though I wish all my selections were consistently freshly hot. So many choices to choose from, but we were still a bit hungry so we also split the turkey burger is also good, excellent fries. Enjoy!

One hundred years ago, long before craft beer taps and truffle fries, the building at 222 West Houston Street served a grittier, more functional purpose—it was a garage and stable, a vital cog in New York City’s infrastructure at a time when horsepower still referred to actual horses. Built in the early 1900s, the space was designed for practicality: thick brick walls, cavernous ceilings supported by hulking wooden beams, and wide-open floors that could accommodate wagons, carts, and eventually, those newfangled automobiles. You can almost still hear the clatter of hooves and the hiss of steam if you listen hard enough beneath the ambient indie rock and the clink of pint glasses. Today, that same space has been reborn as Houston Hall—a sprawling, high-ceilinged beer hall that still wears its industrial history with pride. The exposed beams and raw brick aren’t decorative; they’re authentic remnants of a New York built on muscle and grit. It’s a transformation Sir Patrick Stewart might call “a most noble repurposing”—and I’d call “a damn smart use of square footage in this part of the Village.” This place really resonates with me. It has that vibe that is rustic but not rough, spacious but still intimate when the crowd hits its rhythm. The beer selection, brewed by Greenpoint Beer Works, leans into approachable craft styles rather than obscure brewing one-upmanship. Think hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, and a rotating seasonal brew that gives the regulars something to look forward to. Food? Solid bar fare with a few flourishes. The truffle grilled cheese gets mentions, as does the soft pretzel with beer cheese. No one's mistaking this for a fine dining establishment, but for a beer hall built in the bones of a turn-of-the-century garage, the kitchen holds its own. Service is brisk and friendly—occasional chaos, but that’s par for the course when you’re dealing with large tables with non-homogeneous diners and pitchers of pale ale. The acoustics, courtesy of that soaring ceiling, can turn raucous quickly, so if you're looking for a quiet conversation, go early or aim for a weekday. Or definitely a weekday later in the evening, it seems to quiet down pretty quickly. In sum: Houston Hall is a celebration of old bones and new brews. A place where the past hasn’t been erased—it’s been repurposed, revitalized, and handed a flight of beer. One could raise a glass and say, in both reverence and delight: make it malty.

Although the service was good, I was quite disappointed by the food at Houston Hall. We weren't really hungry so we ordered the mushroom pizza to share. The pizza is sub-par and a big mistake knowing that Song 'E Napule is a few blocks east. The beer selection is very generic and the menu didn't specify where the beers come from so I assume they're local beer. Although they have Maß at the hall, I couldn't find any German beer on the menu. We were there on Wednesday after work and did not know that a flood of people from the running meetup usually go there after their run. I'd avoid this place for these reasons.

Incredible bar with great food. Went here for Super Bowl 59 and what an amazing experience. Been there twice now and will certainly be revisiting and hopefully soon!

I recently visited Houston Hall for happy hour, and it was a fantastic experience! The manager Ivan is fantastic - he is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is amazing, with a massive beer hall and brew pub vibe located in New York City's historic West Village. I ordered my go-to classic, a Moscow Mule, which was perfectly crafted. The highlight of my visit, though, was the Big Plate Nachos. They came loaded with three-bean chili, grilled mixed veggies, a secret spice combo, and melted Jack & cheddar. The tortillas were fried in-house, making the nachos super delicious. Although the vegan chili was super yummy, I opted for meat on mine, and it did not disappoint. Houston Hall's happy hour runs from Tuesday to Friday, 4 pm to 8 pm, and all day Sunday. With an exclusive selection of craft beers, specialty cocktails, and homemade tavern fare, it's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some great food and drinks. Highly recommend!

I went to Houston Hall for a company annual function. It's a great space to hold a lot of people in a fun, rustic atmosphere. We had a setup with chairs for watching the program, and then the chairs were removed for a mingling hour. It worked both ways. The food was good, and drinks were as well.

Great brunch spot by day and wine bar by night! Popped in to try the new brunch menu and every dish was amazing. The Viennese pancakes were very soft and fluffy, and the Wagyu sliders were incredible as well. Elevated brunch classics. Highly recommend!

Had a great time at Lela Bar! Stayed for the wine pairing with the most delicious charcuterie board. Their olive oil was incredible—so fresh, it tasted like it was squeezed straight from the olive. The vibes were super chill and airy, the staff was really friendly, and they had great recommendations. Definitely coming back!

I eat here almost every day and the place is great. The wraps are amazing and the pasta station is top notch. The service is quick and accurate. If your in the neighborhood, for either breakfast or lunch then I absolutely recommend you give them a try. My recommendation is the California Wrap!

I can't praise them enough. In almost four years , they have been consistently great with me . Delivery staff is friendly and prompt. The staff at the restaurant is amazing! Chef is amazing. Food always has great taste and flavor and they have lots of healthy options. They are family and I am grateful for them . Keep it up .

Love the juice bar. Soup is decent. Breakfast may be better than lunch. Best home fried Ive had. All the food is pretty good. But the wait time and price are both a little higher/longer than ideal. Nonetheless, I come often for the quality and location.
Diana D - 7 years ago

The sandwiches and wraps are great. Always fresh and tasty. Hot cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner options served daily. Their salad bar offers variety and customization. And they even have a juice/smoothie bar. The only bad thing about this place is that it's not open on weekends.
Joshua Montalvo - 5 years ago

Great spot if you're looking for a sandwich shop with a whole lot of options (paninis and pastas) but it's more functional than fresh and healthy. Their juices are very reasonably priced, just the overall vibe isn't my cup of tea. They have a few super food options and it's a large space stocked with lots of quick bites to chose from, but personally I appreciate very fresh options (& more gluten free friendly).

We had a great dining experience at Hudson Clearwater on our trip to NYC. The service and food were both amazing, and the restaurant was in a great location. I had a latte and a fried egg and cheese sandwich, and very much enjoyed every bit. We were very happy with our brunch experience, and would recommend a visit to anyone in the area!

Amazing experience! Nathan behind the bar was awesome! From recommending food to the recommendations on drinks, everything was phenomenal! Thanks to Nate, this will be my new brunch spot on thursdays, because there's many more things to try! I had the grapefruit brulee and the duck confit hash! Both were great, but now I can't wait to try the new options!

Great setting and service, outdoor is A+ catch up spot in warmer weather. Food is executed to a high standard, not a fan of all the dishes but from the searing of the steak to the grilling of the eggplant it is done with care.
