Seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in New York. From start to finish, everything was fabulous. I was seated quickly outside and was treated to a fun thunderstorm as I enjoyed the tasty dishes. All were brought within perfect timing of one another. The waiter was attentive and chill. His suggestions were perfect. You’ll have just enough without feeling overly stuffed. Portions were generous. An array of Mediterranean goodness awaits you. Their lamb/beef is so tender and favorable. The whipped feta and nut spread had a great sharp taste along w the harissa sauce. Fresh pita will be abundant for the duration of the meal, rest assured. I really liked the stuff Squash blossoms, very nice lemon flavored stuffing. The falafels ofc were the highlight, bright green, crispy and sauce was fire. Seriously a great end to a first day of my little vacation.

Good food. loved our server, very attentive. Loved the vibe we truly enjoyed the Moroccan mint tea, the fattoush salad, the zatar fries was so good. chicken kabab was flavorful the pistachio feta blend was so good w pita bread. Everything fresh. Reservation a must. it got crowded for a Monday night. Never thought of having an olive oil cake we tried it and loved it. We got to meet the executive chef Ayesha which was nice.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and so was the staff! The atmosphere really gives it an authentic cozy vibe! My party was able to sample a few dishes and they were all incredible Labne - Tarte and creamy Whipped Feta + Pistachio - Fav of the table. So flavorful Hummus & Fried Haloumi - I meannn come on Za'atar fries - seasoned to perfection Falafel - Had a great kick to it Shrimp + Lamb Merguez - Delicious grilled flavor As you can see from the plates in the photo, they were being wiped clean haha! We also got a yummy mascarpone ice cream for dessert that had a Baklava vibe that was really good. Not too sweet either :)

Shuka is, quite simply, excellent. Located along a quieter stretch of MacDougal Street, it feels like a place meant to be discovered rather than advertised, one whose reputation is built organically through the steady chorus of glowing reviews that, once visited, prove entirely justified. The space itself is modest in its decor yet warmly arranged, creating an atmosphere that invites lingering. There is an ease to the room, a sense of calm enjoyment that encourages conversation and unhurried dining. The menu is best approached in a spirit of sharing. Portions are thoughtfully sized, making it easy to sample a variety of dishes and appreciate the breadth of flavors on offer. Each plate reveals a careful balance—vibrant, satisfying, and clearly composed with intention. The wine list complements the kitchen well, offering selections that pair seamlessly with the cuisine. The staff is another strong point: attentive, warm, and genuinely friendly, adding to the overall sense of hospitality that defines the experience. Shuka is a place I would readily recommend, an inviting, flavor-driven restaurant that rewards both curiosity and return visits.

This wonderful Mediterranean place was discovered accidentally. Nice environment, super friendly and helpful staff, but the food is what makes it so special. Small or larger plates are all tasty, and perfectly prepared and presented. We sampled the baby beat salad and charred broccolini, as well as the beef and lamb patties, Grilled Artic Char, and a Lamb Kebab. Looking forward to our next visit.

Came for an early dinner on a Monday, so it wasn’t crowded. We were seated promptly, and our waiter came over within minutes. The drinks were good—I got a cucumber lemon drink (I forget the name), but it was refreshing. The carpaccio was delicious and well-balanced. The food came out promptly, the steak was perfectly cooked, and the fries were crisp and well-seasoned. The fried rice was good, just missing a little flavor in my opinion. Overall, it was a solid meal, I would definitely recommend

Food, drinks, and service were all around excellent. I highly recommend the beets with labneh. We were early for our reservation and had no problem finding a seat at the romantically lit bar while we waited. Run, don’t walk!

I’ll be honest when it comes to review this is one of those restaurants that was in my camera feed. I review all restaurants I go to in my camera feed and I totally forgot to review this meal because it wasn’t stand out shocking but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. I enjoyed this meal. The food looked and tasted good but again this is New York City and if it doesn’t stand out, it gets lost in the hundreds of thousands of restaurants in this city. There are a few ways that did stand out the burger, beautiful perfect shape, perfect hamburger size ratio, fries, overflowing, tall, beautiful as well and the drink they serve served this amazing looking bloody Mary in this glass fish, which I loved and they make it just the way I like it with double the alcohol however I asked for this it didn’t come this way, but everyone should do this, but even with the alcohol, it felt quite dark, which was strange The fried chicken, gorgeous delicious who doesn’t love fried chicken, the steak beautiful I mean everything was so well put together plated well made well with class in style the crispy potatoes so When did it blew me away though was the oysters I don’t know what oyster I had but it was like smooth butter. I wanted 100 more of those then I might come back for.

The food was good. Service was Ok, the staff at the front desk however wasnt willing to accommodate our request to have our party and another sit close together, they were giving us a hard time take into consideration that there plenty of available tables. Also I find the menu to be limited. This was the first dining at this restaurant and I wasn't impressed.

Had lunch with my family here in late summer and decided to come based on reviews. Very charming atmosphere and decor. Was seated immediately by staff altough they were a bit too casual in their attitude, almost like they didn't care we were there but it was just a faint feeling nothing deterring. The server was attentive as well. I had a very nice coffee but unfortunately it was served cold. I was desperate for coffee so didn't complain. we got the fried chicken with biscuits and that was yummy. The goat cheese with beets salad was phenominal. the deviled eggs were also good but a bit too strong flavoring. But beautiful presentation all around. I would definitely return here next time Im in town. The food was good. To be honest, it was the decor and ambiance that really made the experienc top notch for me. And also free matches which you never see in restaurants anymore.

We stumbled upon Aria’s Wine Bar while exploring the area and looking for a place to eat without a reservation. To our luck, they were able to seat us outside right away. It didn’t seem like there was any issue getting outdoor seating—perhaps because it was late October and a bit chilly—but we didn’t mind at all. The staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive to every table. Our waiter (I wish I could remember his name!) was especially wonderful. He was friendly, helpful, and full of great recommendations. We told him we wanted to enjoy some drinks and small plates, and he guided us perfectly. We ended up ordering all of his suggestions, and every dish was fantastic. The fried calamari was crisp, perfectly seasoned, and had great texture. The prosciutto with burrata drizzled in truffle oil was rich and flavorful. And to finish, the tiramisu was heavenly—soft, creamy, and exactly what I was hoping for. For drinks, my wife enjoyed a glass of wine, and I had a refreshing mojito—both were excellent complements to our meal. Overall, we had such a lovely experience and can’t wait to return to try the main dishes next time. Thank you, Aria’s Wine Bar, for a delicious and memorable evening!

Super old world, exposed brick, genuine west village place where staff has Italian accent. Host is a no-nonsense bald Italian guy who treats you like family. Chocolate souffle was fantastic and very dark chocolate-y. Also, every single customer in there was super attractive if that matters to you.

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.)

Here’s a polished review you can post: Aria West Village Had a wonderful experience at Aria West Village. Angel was an exceptional bartender—warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, which immediately set the tone for the night. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. A perfect spot for great service, great drinks, and a fantastic overall dining experience. Highly recommend.

My associate and I were there for a business meeting. The service was very good and quick, we got some appetizers to share for the whole table and then a full main course for each one of us. The filet mignon was very good and also the porterhouse pork chop. Very generous plates. Located in a wonderful neighborhood. Easy to walk.

Great spot with big windows and awesome people watching. The location is perfect and the service was fast without feeling rushed. The burger was amazing. The bacon was perfectly crispy and the fries were well seasoned and super satisfying. We started with the banana bread which was such a nice way to kick things off. My partner ordered the pancakes with the cheesecake filling and absolutely loved them. Overall a really great meal in a great location. Would definitely come back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Market Table has been on Carmine Street since 2007 and there is a reason this place has never needed to reinvent itself — it just gets it right, every single time. From the moment you walk in, the room does something to you. Window seats overlooking the West Village, terracotta pots, candlelight even at lunch, a neighborhood buzzing outside the glass. It feels like New York the way New York is supposed to feel. We ordered through the all-day menu and every single dish came out more impressive than the last. The heirloom tomato salad with cucumber, olives and a green herb dressing sounds simple and looks like art. The nori dish is quietly one of the most elegant things I’ve eaten in this city. The fish over summer corn was perfectly executed — charred skin, sweet vegetables, clean and confident. Then came the chicken. Get the chicken. Crispy skin that shatters, pea risotto underneath, a rich jus pooling around it — this is Chef Mike Price doing what he does best, letting the season speak and not overcomplicating a single thing. It is the kind of dish that makes you put your phone down. Two desserts to finish by candlelight. Both necessary. No regrets. The service is warm without being performative. The cocktail list is considered. The wine list has real personality. And the all-day format means there is genuinely no wrong time to come. If you have been walking past this place for years without going in, stop doing that. Market Table is the real thing.

I had such a great experience at Market Table! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was as beautiful as it was delicious. I started with a cocktail called Call Me By Your Name, made with Neversink gin, Lillet Blanc, peach, lemon, and jasmine florets. It was light, floral, and perfectly balanced — a refreshing drink that set the tone for the meal. For food, the Gulf Shrimp Tacos were a standout — juicy shrimp with creamy coleslaw, avocado crema, and just the right kick from the Holland chili. The Buttermilk Pancakes with cheesecake filling and blueberry compote were pure comfort — rich, fluffy, and indulgent in the best way. I also tried the Market Breakfast, which came with two eggs, sausage links, home fries, a little salad, and a flaky buttermilk biscuit. Everything was well-seasoned and cooked just right. Overall, Market Table nails both flavor and presentation. It’s the kind of place that works for brunch with friends or a relaxed solo meal. I’ll definitely be back!

Of the Westville branches we've been to this is probably the one we've visited the most. I like that this is in a quiet area and has lots of outdoor seating. As with the other locations the food is consistently good and reasonably priced. It was also the first time we went here for dinner, rather than brunch. The mac and cheese is very decadent and quite a lot of food for an appetizer, so I'd only order it if you're hungry! I think the Butter Chick rice bowl could have done with more sauce for the rice and a little more items. The chicken eggroll wrap was very tasty though.

I came here by accident, and after I saw they had a a maple bacon bourbon old fashioned I stayed to relish inside. The decor is clean chic, and open . The white plays well with the menu and from the outside I thought it was a fru fru vegan spot. It has some healthy options but I stuck with hotdogs with truffle fries ( An extra cost of a dollar ) and a stiff drink or two. It's intimate on the other side of restaurant for a party of 2 or 4. Great place to relax, and enjoy the vibe.

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.

We made a reservation because we read the reviews on Google Maps, and we were not disappointed. The service was very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The Bloody Mary was delicious and they also have a good bar. To start, we ordered a dozen oysters, which were very fresh, and a good size. We ordered small portions of clam chowder, which was very good. I ordered the mac & cheese with lobster, which, despite not being considered a main course, was more than enough for an adult. My husband ordered the fish and chips, which was also very tasty. And to finish, they gave us dessert on the house. I recommend it.

Came during happy hour on a Sunday and didn’t have a reservation. Was seated quickly and got our food quickly as well. Oysters, clam and salmon tartare all tasted very fresh! Would love to come back and try the rest of their menu.

This is a great spot for watching world cup or other sports matches. The screens are huge but not the clearest, but you get great game sound and sometimes a DJ or good music during commercial breaks. Happy Hour deals are amazing and the food is reallly reallly good for bar type food. Recommend coming with your full party and getting in early because most the benches are first come first serve. We encounters no lines for a match and then really long ones for knockouts so plan accordingly. Servers are great and attentive. Bathroom situation is fine for guys but ladies expect a wait since there are only a few stalls.

I was here for an Adobe event. The place is nice and gives a cozy and relaxed vibe. The food was ok, unfortunately the menu was not not very GF and dairy free friendly (problems of middle age people 😞) but what I tried was good 👍

I went to this bar for the first time this week and enjoyed it immensely. The atmosphere and drinks while watching the basketball finals was electric. But the evening would not have been complete without the amazing service throughout the night by our server, Leo. He treated us like we were a guest in his home. It is a refreshing change to experience a server genuinely wanting to please and treat our group like people and not a number. I am looking forward to going back and having him give us the same " welcome to my home" experience. My compliments to the entire staff. Keep up the great work

Sitting in the original NY city FBI headquarters was pretty cool. Some interesting history to think about. I liked the long tables and benches that accommodates a big group. Had a very unique room upstairs for private parties.
Richard Thompson - 5 months ago

Great bar for watching games - spacious, cool, designed for big groups to be comfortable at large tables. And the service is surprisingly good for a place so huge and packed. Really fun for World Cup watching and would recommend (though can be a very white, fratty crowd) but I do have to say that the nachos are quite terrible. And you really can’t expect much of bar food, I know, but I beg of this place to focus less on overdone mounds of toppings (and chickpeas ????) and more on having actual cheese melted on chips. Barely edible. But overall great place for the very specific vibe I mentioned!

Cute little date spot with some delicious food options to pair with their extensive global wine list. The food menu blew us away, we loved everything we tried — highly recommend the Polenta, the Octopus with potato salad, Iberico selection, pan de queso with honey butter and the beignets with toasted fennel
Adam Giladi - 6 months ago

I was telling my wine friend that he needs to come here because out of all of the "wine bars" I've come across in the city, Lelabar has the most unique and interesting set of wines I've personally seen. And that's just by the glass. Apparently there's a whole other bottle list I'll have to come back to try. It's busy and lively, so prepare to be crammed into the small space, but don't expect to be disappointed. The charcuteries are next level.
Joe (MrSchnydes) - 2 months ago

The best wine bar in the West Village, a true neighborhood gem with an impeccably curated wine list and every bottle somehow feels like the perfect choice. The team is warm, knowledgeable, and led by real wine expertise without a hint of pretension. Come for a glass, stay for a bottle, and enjoy delicious food too. So grateful to have a place this special in the neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Place was cute and we enjoyed our drinks, but the guys working behind the bar were extremely rude. We told our server that one of the guys working there was a bit aggressive - making a snappy comment and kicking a stool- and our server was quite dismissive about it and seemed irritated. It didn’t feel at all that they cared about the customer experience which was really disappointing as we enjoyed the place up until that point.

A lovely experience. Even on a weekday lunch, the place was more than half full. The service really stood out. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was good, though a bit salty for my taste. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday, and the staff kindly brought out a pastry with a candle, which was a very thoughtful touch. I would definitely come back.

I chose Hudson Clearwater because they have a few vegan offerings on their menu. My vegan friend had the vegan lasagna and the rest of us had the sea bass. For dessert they had a vegan apple tart with coconut ice cream. The food and service was good but the portions were quite small. Reservations are a must; by the time we left there was not an empty table in the house.

we ordered the huevos rancheros, berry smoothie and ricotta pancakes. the eggs could’ve had more flavor to be honest but it was good. the fries were soft/not crunchy, overall it was an okay experience. for its price point i expected better.

I recommend sitting outside when it's sunny -- drinks (or a bottle) with a few apps? Sign me up. There's a beautiful outdoor area in the back of the restaurant (and of course their street seating), but don't let that distract you from the great vibes inside! Lit candles replace the mini vases filled with wildflowers for a warm ambience. Brunch is served until 4:30. Bar snacks from 4:30-5 and dinner from 5 onwards. I made a day-of reservation Sunday for 4PM and there were a ton of reservations left. I tried walking in on a sunny Saturday another time and it was only a 15 minute wait -- you can just put your number down and mosey around the area.

A quintessential brunch spot with good food and lovely atmosphere. Delicious arugula salad, phenomenal duck hash, and a dark chocolate bread pudding that smoulders in its tastiness. You definitely should visit.

Came here with a small group then with a very large group and both times the food and service was top notch. The pizza was thin, crispy and delicious. Had a savory sauce just how I like it and the coal fire oven brought it over the top. I also had their pasta which was excellent! This may be my new favorite NYC pizza/restaurant spot!!
Taste Bud - 5 months ago

A notably fun spot for a large group. We celebrated my friend’s birthday here with a 20 person reservation and had a blast. The staff were friendly and helpful but SLOW. Understand it’s a big group but we didn’t get our food until 1.5 hours in. Still would give 5 stars because their pizza is phenomenal! Perfect ratios of sauce to cheese to toppings with thin fluffy dough. Lastly, we did BYOB wine but they charge a $20 corking fee or require purchase of their prefix menu which we were not made aware of prior.
