My employer rented out the bar and restaurant for our annual holiday party, and it did not disappoint. First, the entrance is right across from Zucotti Park, which was lit most beautifully for the holidays. The entrance can be. Bit ticky to find but is about mid way down on Cedar by the park. The decor is definitely unusual, with large bank vault doors, a lot of dark woodwork, gleaming fixtures, and low lighting. We have a fixed menu that was spectacular. Unfortunately I don't know if the menu was comprised of fare that they normally serve or not but if our options were comparable to other offerings on the normal menu, then you'll definitely have a.spectacular meal waiting for you. Also, given that my employer was paying, I have no idea of the overall costs, but given the quality of the food, bar, and service, I would think that the prices would reflect that.

Came here spontaneously for dinner, the night before our flight home to UK. Seated quickly, despite no reservation. Team were friendly. Food was delicious, we especially liked the scallops & steak fillet. Pleased to find a brulee on the dessert menu. Atmosphere was lovely, busy initially but not overcrowded. Felt very cosy, interesting surroundings being in an old vault. Lovely find, wish we'd found it sooner! Would absolutely recommend

Great FiDi location with excellent food, friendly staff and terrific atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant. It can be hard to find reasonably priced fine dining in Manhattan. Trinity Place achieves an elevated dining experience without breaking the bank (pun intended)! We ordered the onion tart, filet medallions and Wagyu cheeseburger. Everything was delicious and prepared as ordered.

We dined at Trinity Place, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The highlight was the Bank vault door that was truly UNIQUE place to dine. The ambience was perfect—elegantly designed with a warm, inviting atmosphere that made us feel immediately at ease. The food was nothing short of outstanding; each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's talent and attention to detail. Service was top-notch as well; the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. I highly recommend Trinity Place for anyone looking for a memorable meal in a fantastic setting. The desserts were truly exceptional. Each treat was a masterpiece, both in flavor and presentation. These desserts were a perfect ending to an already fantastic meal, showcasing the chef’s creativity and skill.

My partner took me for Valentine’s Day. The location is beautiful but small. We got seated in a tiny nook with a couple on each side of us, and both were close enough that getting in I knocked into their table a bit. The service from the waiters was wonderful, we were greeted and they offered to take our coats and check them in. The artwork is beautiful. The food was mid. I got the waygu burger with home fries and a salad. The salad was bitter, the burger was tasteless, and the home fries were not crunchy. My partner got the beer braised lamb shank which is the second most expensive item on the menu. It was delicious. They served it with mashed potatoes carrots and sautéed brussles, I ate off his plate the whole night. My partner can’t eat pork and they took out the bacon which was very accommodating. We then opted for a New York cheese cake because I was worried at this point I wouldn’t like the other stuff they served. The cheesecake was also mid. For some reason I got what texturally felt like coconut flakes in it, which i absolutely hate. Lastly we got alcoholic beverages, they give u a menu but you can request cocktails not on the menu, I got a dark and stormy and it was also delicious.

👍👍👍The experience was genuinely remarkable! The steak boasts a tender and rich flavor that I find incredibly satisfying. I favor it cooked medium-rare, and this restaurant nails it perfectly. It practically melts in my mouth! The selection of appetizers is also quite impressive. The vibe of the restaurant is fantastic, and the service is top-notch. I will certainly return!🫶🏻

What says "I love you" more than going to a steakhouse with your person? I figured that this would be quickly booked for Valentine's Day so I booked a month or so in advance. We were seated in a lovely secluded booth and the service was amazing! Loved the atmosphere, ambiance and it wasn't noisy. For starters we ordered the Tuna Tartar with avocado, mango, and sriracha, which was phenomenal! It really set the bar up there. It was the best tuna tartar I've ever had! For the entree's we had the Porcini-Rubbed bone in Ribeye with the 15 year aged Balsamic, and the Double cut Lamb Rib Chops with mint Gremolata and honey crusted, served with a white wine and shallots jus. We also enjoyed the Au Gratin potatoes and the Creamed Spinach. We also enjoyed the Mango Royale for the drink! It was lovely! The Ribeye was great, I've never had a steak with a 15 year aged Balsamic, so we were curious ... A little over priced for my taste but, it's all about location. The Lamb was a little overdone for me personally, but otherwise I enjoyed the flavor. We loved the creamed spinach and the Au Gratin... Amazing! We finished off our meal with the Creme Brulee, including raspberries, black berries and blueberries. Our servers really made us feel welcomed, took pictures of us and were very accommodating. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. I would love to try them in a different location! I will definitely be back!

We always have great time at The Capital Grille, and this time it wasn't any different. Very classy and elegant resturant, good for dates. The Kona-crusted NY steak was salty, and not the best I had at The Capital Grille, so I suggest you choose other steaks, their steaks are almost always great, juicy and tasty. The Salmon was delicious, although farmed and not a wild caught, and the portions are huge, providing good value for money. The fried calamari dish was gigantic, enough for 4 people as an appetizer. The staff were great as well, particularly Riya (I hope I got it right). The only thing negative I have is the lack of non-alcoholic drinks variety and mocktails.

Great service & delicious dishes. I’m giving it a 9 out of 10 because the complementary bread was not fresh at all. “Lobster & Crab Cakes” are one of the best crab cakes I have ever had. “Seared Tenderloin with Butter Poached Lobster Tails” is a small portion but both tenderloin and lobster were unexpectedly perfect, tender and almost melts in my mouth. What a great experience❤️

My recent visit to Capital Grille was an unexpected delight. While renowned for its prime cuts, I discovered a haven for seafood lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. The star of my meal was an exquisitely prepared tuna dish. Seared to perfection, it boasted a crisp exterior giving way to a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth center. The chef's expert touch was evident in the balanced flavors and thoughtful accompaniments, proving that Capital Grille's expertise extends well beyond beef. However, the true highlight of the evening was the bar experience, courtesy of the talented Nicole. Her cocktails were nothing short of extraordinary - each sip a harmonious blend of flavors, showcasing both creativity and precision. From classic mixes to innovative concoctions, Nicole's drinks elevated the entire dining experience to new heights. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between upscale and inviting, ideal for both special occasions and refined casual dining. Attentive service rounded out an impressive evening. Capital Grille has successfully broadened its appeal, offering a diverse, high-quality experience that caters to various palates. Whether you're craving a perfectly cooked steak, exploring seafood options, or seeking top-tier cocktails, this restaurant delivers with finesse Definitely check this place out

The restaurant is small, but the staff is friendly and the food tastes great! During my visit, we had the Carne Asada and the Chicken Enchilada. This is a ground floor establishment with no stairs at the entrance, making it wheel chair friendly. There are vegetarian options on the menu, and the staff is accommodating. Their Pina Colada also tasted great.

Very calm atmosphere. Friendly service and delicious food. I had huevos rancheros, a cappuccino, a michelada, a mojito and a Cadillac margarita! And the owner gave us a complimentary home made appetizer(pictured). All delicious.

I’m so glad I came back to Tajin after a few years. We don’t have a lot of good Mexican food in my neighborhood. I love good homemade Mexican. Not many options. Was happy with the staple —black beans and yellow rice. I had the mole. It was good. I will definitely return. Just wish they would add certain things to their menu.

Lovely little spot with plenty of character! We stopped in for brunch and left very satisfied. Fair prices and the workers made me feel welcomed from the minute I stepped in. The girlfriend is vegan which can be a nightmare when eating out. However, they are very accommodating with the menu and she was able to eat. The meal was worth every dollar. Ivan, our server, was wonderful and very helpful. Do yourself a favor and stop by if you're in the area!

Five stars. But why do you close so early? It’s 8:30 PM on a Saturday night in “the city that never sleeps.” It’s waaaaay too early to deny us your delicious food. Your neighbors are just starting to think about dinner as you guys are closing up shop!

We had breakfast here on most of the days we were in NYC as it was a great spot, serving honest simple food which tasted great and set us up for busy days of sightseeing. Classic American refill drip coffee was plentiful and good quality. Even when it was busy the service was efficient, warm and friendly, remembering our drinks orders and offering helpful advice! Definitely a spot to visit for breakfast/brunch.

I visited George's several times during my recent trips to NYC, and honestly, it never disappointed. It's a great little spot, perfect for breakfast or lunch—simple, consistent, and exactly what you'd want from a place you're happy to keep returning to. Staff were friendly, the food was always good, and I genuinely looked forward to going back each time. Definitely recommend George's if you're in the area.
D Tailor - 3 weeks ago

this has exceeded my expectations especially in terms of what diners are. normally dingers are a little dingy and food is scrumptious and delicious but you just take it as it is- George’s is homey and warm, it makes you comfortable and is just absolutely delightful. Never in my life have I had a pancake served to me where my syrup was warmed with thought and care like? I was ??? Oh?? And the pancakes actually were made with strawberries and not just strawberries on top? I feel safe and cared for- the staff, who were mainly middle aged to elderly were absolutely the sweetest too? 10/10 would recommend, maybe even 100/10 LMAO. but a note- just stick to diner menu cause that’s their specialty honestly

Not recommended for people who want to have tastes 🫠✨ The food is perfectly without any taste 🙃 The gluten free pancake is only the dry pancake, I thought I can choose something on it. Yeah, for the price of anyother pancake 🙃🤪 In the end my boyfriend went to pay and they offered if 15, 18 or 22% tip. He could not say non of them 🙃 Expensive, bad food, but they brought the food and drinks fast 🙃

Cozy spot with good food and a very nice waitstaff. Great place for breakfast/brunch and coffee (good coffee!). Had the Eggs Benedict with crab cakes. Very good! Two levels of dining with nice 70s music playing.

Worst place to go! The serving person will ignore all what you are trying to say and just be in their own world to pack you for the bill. They are like interns in office space with no experience. Attitude was at a different level. Start the serve and leave the customer in the middle of serving and ignore. They packed my bowl with rice as if I had asked for more. No cream no salsa. Dumbo!! I wish I had got my money back as we get in California. —————— Update. ———- Went back and they replaced it.

For as long as this place has been here. You would think that they finally know how to manage the traffic during lunch time. NOPE! They are always out of something. They can only take cards. The place is filthy. Your food is sloppily made. Today was no different. Only taking credit, not a problem but the entire restaurant was a pigs sty - tables were dirty, trash cans were overflowed. Even the register was dirty. The cashier was busy texting between checking ppl out when she could have at least wiped the counter where she was working so it didn’t look so gross which takes a matter of seconds. Literally food all over the front of the counter where the register was. I mentioned to her checking out and she seemed not to care and carried on. There was enough staff who were idle for one person to man the floor. Also was not pleased how my food was prepared today. They weren’t out of anything (food wise) which was surprising however, my lettuce was completely welted. In other words, not fresh and they drowned my tacos in sour cream rushing. Fast service isn’t always good service and these workers aren’t experienced enough to be efficient when working at such fast paces. So Slow Down!!! a bit and do it right to result in happier customers. Cleanliness is a huge thing and easily changes one’s mind from wanting to eat there. This is a usual case at this Chipotle. I recommend paying a little more for an experienced manager to properly run this location. It will change everything as it will literally only take better managerial decisions like properly allocating your staff for this location to improve. This is a lucrative location so it must be a priority for the company but it doesn’t seem that way. This is a fed up post. I’ve been here a couple times since I’ve started working here and it’s the same thing Every Time.

Best Mexican restaurant in USA , quantity and service differs from store to store, but food taste and quality doesn’t change occurs the country. 10/10 recommended.

Can't relate to the negative reviews as I had phenomenal service. The moment I came in I was greeted with a smile. They worked in unisys to get my family and I down the line. There were about 8 of us and they didn't mind explaining the menu to us. Chipotle Honey Chicken burrito with guac was extremely good. 10/10 recommend with a blackberryizzy

I stopped by Pret a Manager at 5:00 pm, which apparently is equivalent to arriving at a party after the music has stopped and the snacks are gone. I mean, I've seen more extensive menus on a fridge magnet. But hey, I wasn't entirely unlucky! I scored a delicious yogurt without sugar - because, let's be real, who needs sugar when you're already feeling bitter about the limited options? In all seriousness, I'm sure Pret a Manager is a great spot...in the morning. Maybe I'll try my luck then. Until next time, I'll just have to pretend I'm on a sugar-free, option-less diet. P.S. If you're a morning bird, go for it! If you're a afternoon snacker like me...well, may the odds be ever in your favor.

I love their balsamic chicken and mozerella sandwhich. You can taste the freshness of their baguettes in every bite. Their caesar dressing with their chicken salad taste very good as well. I LOVE their caesar dressing, I can honestly drink that stuff! Their lemonade is good as well.

Coffee is not what it used to be. Prices on food options have almost doubled. For the price you would hope it was organic. Still its great option to grab and go a wrap, soup or Sandwich. I wish they had gluten fee. No options last time I checked. Place is clean and the service is fast.

Good clean grab and go type food establishment. Lots of variety along with canned and bottled beverages. Don't expect the coffee machine to pump out very good coffee.

Went in for lunch. I had the lunch special burger & fries that came with a drink I had a beer cider ! Lovely. The burger was okay and the fries were good. I got chicken tenders for my daughter wasn’t the best. The waffle fries were cool. The space is cute, I can definitely see this as a kick back or a night for drinks.

Overall, an amazing place. This is my first time going to the one in Midtown, but I’ve been to the one in the financial district many times. I like the one in Midtown more. I think the service is better. It’s a larger building and the food is better. We got the nachos and chicken sandwiches, and the nachos were amazing. They had tons of delicious toppings. Amazing beer selection.

Decent size inside, huge outside! Many rows of tables for groups small and large. Benches and plastic couches for groups. Large format games like chess and corn hole. 20 beers on tap! Heard the burger was great, need to come on an empty stomach.

This place is a huge must to visit on a date, hangout or just to have fun with a group. We came here for restaurant week and the food is amazing, the waiters are super nice and they have games for you to play while you eat and wait! They have a swings area, and huge games outside of the restaurant, while inside the restaurant you can play board games and card games they have for you! Definitely a huge must for this place. Their food was also huge in portions and we got full really fast.
Allen Fang - a year ago

We absolutely adored this bar, super fun lots of fun games to play inside and outside the bar. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this bar if your looking for something different as this is fantastic. Even if you don’t drink your allowed to come here and play games for free which is amazing!

We had a wonderful birthday dinner for our daughter at Reserve Cut Broad St recently. The food was delicious, as always, and we really enjoyed the evening. Thank you for making it special!
Oscar Berger - in the last week

This place is big, and basically gives off a fancy, classic steakhouse vibe. The service was overall pretty good, except I felt like the servers could be trained to be more friendly and professional. One server came by to give what turned out to be an incomplete list of the special menu items. Another server overall seemed like he didn't want to be there. The food was good, but the temperature was medium on the ribeye when we asked for medium rare. Not a huge deal; I actually think ribeye should be at medium, given its high fat content, but still a technical error from the kitchen staff. The sides we got, fries and broccolini, were excellent. Overall, we enjoyed the meal. Would come back!

This place is an amazing kosher steakhouse along with great appetizers. I wasn’t expecting chopsticks, so that’s a star already. We had a private event in a room and the atmosphere, food and service was amazing. I definitely recommend coming here if you need to find a kosher restaurant.

Wagyu steak was delicious… Mushroom soup was definitely full of flavor. We had our Valentine’s day dinner here. We were so full, couldn’t even think about dessert 😅

Food and atmosphere are excellent, but value is questionable. $226 for the olive wagyu NY strip that's basically a Denver steak? Not worth it.

From the moment I walked in, the customer service at Bill Burger was top-tier—courteous, prompt, and genuinely welcoming. The burgers? Absolutely delicious. Juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s rare to find a place that nails both hospitality and food quality, but Bill Burger does just that. In short: I came for a meal and left in a committed relationship—with the burger. 10/10, would dine again

We went during a very busy time, so there was a wait. There is a very large waiting area once we were seated it took a bit for our server to help us because it was so packed. It was two of us. We did not order any drinks they did not have any festive holiday drinks, which is what we were looking for between both of us. We ordered a chicken burger, an American burger, a side salad, and a side of fries. The burgers were great. The salad was great. The fries were a large serving of shoestring fries, but were very cold. I suggest sitting towards the inside or closer to the middle area of the bar because the draft is very cold and it is uncomfortable to sit closer to the door. Our server was great and very attentive. Prices are decent for the portions and there is something for everybody at this restaurant.

Bill's Bar and Burger, West Street. New York City. I found the atmosphere cozy and inviting, with a classic New York feel. The bar staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making you feel right at home. The drink menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of cocktails, beers, and wines. I tried a few different cocktails, and each one was expertly crafted and delicious. The bartenders clearly take pride in their work. The food is also excellent. I had the burgers, and they were juicy and flavorful. The fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable for New York City. If you're looking for a great place to relax and enjoy a drink or a meal in New York City, I highly recommend Bill's Bar. It's a truly special place that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service.

Cozy, warm, and effortlessly stylish—this coffee shop is a total standout. The coffee is rich and smooth, clearly made with care, and the pastries are just as impressive. Perfect spot to relax, get some work done, or catch up with a friend. Great vibes, great quality, and super friendly staff.

The best coffee in New York. Please stop by and try one of Sydney’s drinks. I originally got a small Machiatto. I took one sip and knew i should have gotten a larger size. After i drunk it, literally had to turn around and order another one but a larger size. Great customer service from everyone. My only feedback is more diversity on the team.

Worth visit if u r a coffee lover. They have a lot of interesting beans from rare areas. Interesting menu with pour over selection. Nice space to stay and chill. ☕️✨❤️‍🔥Pour over options were so nice. The one from Hawaii was gorgeous. ☕️🥛⭕️Cappuccino I got the other day was outstanding too. It was gentle, smooth, and creamy. Honey latte is for sweet drink lovers. My friend had it with oat milk and she loved it.
