Our favourite bar during our entire stay. We visited every day after our first visit was so great, and it became our local! The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Special shout out to Darren the legend. He made us feel so welcome every visit, especially with how busy this bar is and he remembered us and our drinks order and even the football team my parter supported so the bar felt very homely. Would 10/10 recommend. Get yourselves to Connolly’s guys. Will be back next year

After finding a pizza place that we wanted to go to closed we decided to check out Connolly's. Upon entering we were told to go upstairs for quicker service, so we did and we're immediately seated. A server grabbed us waters and I eventually ordered a downeast cider from MA. The cider was super refreshing and had hints of sweetness without being too overpowering. With my stomach not being too happy I ordered a baked potato and my mom the fish and chips substituting the fries for onion rings. Well the onion rings, to put it as nice as possible, had seen better days. They were way over cooked and hard as bricks--we did not need to even bite into one to notice this! Thankfully the server understood and swapped out the rings for another piece of fish. And speaking of the fish it was amazing! Lightly fried and a little crispy around the edges it made every bite so good--no tartar sauce needed! Also, the meal came with coleslaw, which was nice surprise. It was cool and creamy and delicious as well. One of the servers recommended that next time we should get vinegar with the fish as it makes it even better. Great service and good food.

This was an absolutely wonderful dining experience. The booth seating was awesome. A nice and quiet atmosphere. This is the best Fish & Chips I’ve had in NYC. I’ve tried several places but Connolly’s got it right. I did make a reservation but it’s not needed. I recommend Connolly’s highly and cannot wait to return.

Is Irish pub and restaurant is a fine choice for dinner before or after your show just off Broadway. We had the bangers and mash and the lamb burger both of which were delicious. Their Guinness is poured right from a tap and their establishment is clean and well-staffed.

Make sure you have a reservation! We did and were able to get seated faster ... but 30 minutes later than the reservation time. It was a Saturday night in early December and therefore busy. The crowds from Rockefeller Center Spilled Out for blocks in all directions. So getting to the restaurant was a challenge. The food was just okay. It came out very fast, the staff was very attentive and friendly. They're all doing the best they can. A very busy restaurant this Saturday night. They have to say it again, make sure you have a reservation! Pictures is Lance stew and fish and chips. Also other entrees are bangers and mash, potato leek soup, and then pump food.

We had just made it to town, were hungry, and didn't want to shop around for food. My wife and I dined here the last time we were in town and loved our meal. So, dining hear again was a no brainer.. Del Frisco's it is. Our second time didn't disappoint either We ordered steaks, cocktails, appetizers and wine. For the cocktails, she had the Passion Fruit Margarita, and I had the Whistle Pig Barrel Aged Manhattan. The cocktails were on point. Additionally, we both had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon with our meal. For the appetizer we went with the Thick-Cut Nueske’s Bacon and the Charred Octopus. The Bacon was excellent, smokey and delicious. The Octopus was disappointing. It was overcooked and chewy, so we had to send that one back. For our main courses, my wife ordered the Braised Angus Short Rib and was later informed that it was sold out, so she settled for the Filet Mignon, and I had the Bone-In Prime Ribeye. For our sides we had fries, broccolini and the Classic Caesar. Oh, and not to mention, that wonderful warm bread for the table. All of the meats were cooked to perfection, the sides were great, but on a side note... the side of fries was way more then we expected. I would say was enough for 5 people. The steak house itself has a nice sexy ambiance, but still chill enough for the fellas to grab a meal or hang at the bar. The service was great, our waiter M.D. was very professional and attentive. He was very apologetic for the mess up on the Short Rib order and the over cooked Octopus. Even the Supervisor, (Kristin), came over and checked on us to make sure we were good and chatted with us about the New York food scene. Thank you both for a good time.

Five-Star Review for Del Frisco’s – Manhattan Del Frisco’s in Manhattan delivers an experience that reminds you why New York City is known for world-class dining. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels elevated and full of energy. The staff greets you warmly and treats you like a valued guest throughout the entire meal. The service is smooth, attentive, and thoughtful without ever feeling rushed. Everyone working there seems to take real pride in what they do, which sets the tone for the rest of the evening. The steaks truly deserve the reputation they have. Each cut is cooked exactly the way you ask, with a perfect sear on the outside and a tender, flavorful center. You can tell the kitchen uses high-quality ingredients and takes care in every step. The sides are just as impressive. The lobster macaroni and cheese, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes are rich and satisfying. They complement the main dishes rather than overpowering them. Even the bread service is memorable, which says a lot about the overall attention to detail. The seafood options are another highlight. The crab cakes are packed with lump crab meat and seasoned well. The shrimp cocktail is fresh and chilled correctly. Everything arrives beautifully presented, and the flavors match the presentation. For drinks, the wine list is extensive and curated with care. The staff is knowledgeable and ready to help you pair the right bottle or cocktail with your meal. Dessert is worth saving room for. The butter cake is one of the best ways to end a dinner, warm and soft with a balance of sweetness that makes you want to order another. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just want a great night out, Del Frisco’s knows how to make the evening feel important. Overall, Del Frisco’s in Manhattan stands out because it combines outstanding food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Every part of the dining experience feels intentional. It is easy to see why so many people consider it a must-visit steakhouse in the city. If you want a meal that is consistently exceptional from start to finish, this is the place to go. This is a well-deserved five-star experience.

This is my goto place when I have family and friends visiting from overseas. They haven’t disappointed me so far! The steak — cooked perfectly to your liking 😋The lobster Mac and cheese has good chunks of Lobster, creamy sauce and aldente pasta. We also had the octopus appetizer and it’s soooo good. Flavorful, right chewiness and good portion size. The other thing I look forward to is their honey bread and the best part — it’s complementary. 😉
Rosalie Reyes - a month ago

If you enjoy steak, this is the place for you. It delivers a classic upscale experience right in the heart of Manhattan. The steaks are expertly prepared—rich, tender, and cooked exactly as ordered—while the sides are indulgent and generously portioned. The atmosphere is polished yet comfortable, making it a great choice for celebrations, business dinners, or a fun night out with family and friends. With attentive service and a strong wine and cocktail program, Del Frisco’s lives up to its reputation as a reliable go-to for high-quality steak and elevated dining in NYC

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse – Times Square, NYC Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in Times Square delivered a great overall dining experience. The atmosphere is upscale, lively, and exactly what you’d expect from a high-end steakhouse in the heart of NYC. The service was attentive and professional, and the staff made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. The food was very good — the steaks were cooked well and had great flavor, and the sides were solid. It’s definitely a place where you can enjoy a quality dinner in a nice setting. While a few dishes could have used just a little more seasoning to reach that “wow” factor, everything was still prepared with care and presented beautifully. This is a great spot for a nice night out in Times Square. Strong service, a classy vibe, and good food make it a solid choice. I’d come back again.

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and everything was wonderful from start to finish. We were welcomed at the table with decorative touches that made the evening feel extra special. The appetizers were delicious, the cocktails were excellent, and the steak was cooked perfectly—we loved it. A special thank you to Edgar, who went above and beyond to make our night memorable. We truly appreciate his help and kindness. Highly recommended!

Looked around places in NYC for a burger and drink at a bar. The Capital Grill really delivered. Service is so much better, staff friendly & helpful. Bathrooms were really clean and multiple team member asking if we need anything else. Wagyu & Wine was a great deal and glad I stopped by!

We came as walk-ins and were very grateful that we were seated right away. Our server, Maria, was very sweet; however, overall the wait staff was not at the level expected of a fine dining establishment. Their English was quite poor. The service itself was excellent, and thanks to Maria for her food recommendations. One thing I would point out is that the hostesses do not seem to have a proper dress code for a place like this—it’s really not appropriate to see a hostess wearing UGG boots and a gray T-shirt.

Started with fresh oysters. Best steak I’ve ever had. Highly recommend the bone in ribeye accompanied Sam’s mashed potatoes and the grilled asparagus and the service was impeccable. Delaney and the rest of the staff elevated the whole experience. Will definitely come back again and tell my friends to come if they ever have the chance
Brandon Hickey - 3 months ago

We visited this place because it’s known for its steaks. The three of us shared two different cuts, and while the meat itself seemed to be of good quality, the seasoning was far too strong and salty—we couldn't eat much and ended up leaving most of it. Compared to many great steakhouses in Manhattan, it was a bit of a letdown. That said, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Visited Friday night for happy hour. Our wait to get a table was 50 minutes. Instead we went to the bar and were lucky that guest left and we had availability for 2 seats. Our server Israel made our transition smoothly and quick. We order various appetizers and drinks. Beer Pacifico and Blue moon .Drinks passion fruit mojito with fresh sugar cane and mint. The band was there tuning their sound for a while but once they got it together they played a set of various song not limited to Cuban music. Overall it was good atmosphere and food. I liked the green sauce instead of f the mayo sauce drizzle all over out appetizers. I've been to the LI Havana central which i visited various times and they also ha e live bands and delicious food.

Delicious food, friendly staff, and great prices! Plenty of options for me that were gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. A bit loud for my taste but it was a great experience. Thrilled by the guava smoothie. The staff that greeted us were warm. Luiza, our server, was nice and attentive. The people that came to our table with waters, our orders, and to pick up dishes were so friendly too. And did I mention the delicious food?! Thanks to entire team - from the front end to the kitchen and everyone in between. Definitely recommend! 👏

The night I went to Havana Central was my first time in New York City and he made my experience even greater. The food was absolutely excellent. I live in California and I've tried a few Cuban places and this one was one of the best. The young man who served me was outstanding super Pleasant and very attentive I forget his name I wish I could remember it all I know is that he is very young thin half Mexican half Salvadorian but he made my experience a Havana Central the more pleasant. I love the atmosphere the decorations the happiness of the people celebrating and even though they were super busy everyone seem to be having a great time. If you ever go to New York City you must try Havana Central.

GREAT CUBAN FOOD! We have been twice this week and might go back before going home! It can be loud, but you are a block from the heart of Broadway! Delicious food each night! Will be back on future trips!

The food was scrumptious!! I went for the first time after seeing the broadway play Buena Vista Social Club. We ordered the corn and empanadas for starters…let me just say we cleared the plates. It could have stopped there and I would have been pleased but no it kept getting better. I had steak with the shrimp in butter garlic sauce, my cousin had the snapper. Service was friendly and fast. Drinks were strong and the price was compatible plus totally worth it. Portions were large, I had take home enough for a second meal. Sorry for my pictures in advance lol Listen…I’ll be back

It was a wonderful fine-dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, offering unique and memorable flavors. The service quality was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The location is also excellent and very convenient. The atmosphere was elegant, comfortable, and truly enjoyable. Highly recommended for a special dining experience. The only downside was that the interior is quite large, so it was a bit noisy.

I chose this restaurant For my mother‘s birthday dinner, we had reservations at 6 PM, but our show ended pretty early. we were still able to be seated earlier, which was amazing. The atmosphere and ambience was really nice spacious and clean. Everyone was polite and friendly. Plenty of space at our table. The food was absolutely amazing. The drinks were delicious. The waiters were very attentive 10 out of 10. This was my First time in Dining in Manhattan and I will be back. Worth the price. The scallops came with four I ate one very quickly because I’m greedy, but it was so good. Perfection.

What’s not to love about Oceana? A modern, elegant seafood restaurant with a thoughtfully designed space. Now it's beautifully decorated for the holiday season, creating a special, warm and welcoming feel. The food was delicious. Everything we tried was perfect. We’ll be happy to return!

Hands-down the BEST fancy seafood restaurant in town. Great ambience, super fresh & seafoods and very very good service! ❤️ Bartenders were amazing. The “liquid dessert“ cocktail he made for me was EXCELLENT! It’s a bit pricy but totally worth the money! I will be back.

Oceana: A True Culinary Gem in New York ​Dining at Oceana was an unforgettable experience that elevated a simple lunch into a superior event. From the moment we walked in, the environment felt refined and elegant—truly top-tier. It's safe to say this spot is a gem in the block. ​The food was outstanding, starting with the beautiful presentation of every plate. The star of the evening was the black cod, which was prepared to perfection—flaky, buttery, and incredibly flavorful. The accompanying sides, especially the rich and comforting creamy spinach and the expertly cooked potatoes, were the ideal complements to the main course. We also thoroughly enjoyed the fresh bread service. ​To finish, the cheesecake for dessert was sophisticated and satisfying, providing a perfect ending to the meal. It was creamy and didn't feel heavy at all! ​Beyond the excellent cuisine, the service deserves the highest praise. Our server was top-notch and genuinely friendly, making us feel welcomed and perfectly cared for throughout the entire evening. If you are looking for a superior dining experience in New York, Oceana is an absolute must-visit.

Went for Thanksgiving dinner. It was fine. Plate could've been larger for the cost, but the cuisine was pretty standard. Ambiance was nice. I was seated in a quieter corner, which I appreciated. Server was also fine, though I waited 10-15 minutes to pay once I had the check. Nothing remarkable in the positive or negative.

I went to Del Frisco’s for my husband’s birthday. I requested a table with a view for the special occasion while booking and they came through! We got an amazing table! Our server Austin was 10/10 excellent, so kind, helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. The ambiance was beautiful, and if you think it can’t possibly get better, it does! The drinks, and food were incredible. Apps, entrees, dessert, all perfection. We are obsessed and plan to go back as much as possible!

Recommend coming for the "IT Girl Dinner", easy after work option seated at the bar. Definitely looks like a marketing attempt to bring more women into the venue, as it is very suit heavy. But cannot complain about that, service was friendly and attentive, the food was easy and tasty. A bit salty, but that's the US generally. Portions are very generous !

Went for an early dinner for daughters' college graduation celebration. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the service was outstanding. The Brisket, Burratta, and the shaved steak sandwich were phenomenal, but do not recommend the spare ribs dish. A little pricey but can't beat the location. I will go back...

I worked in midtown for 10 years and never made it to Del Frisco’s Grille and after last night’s cocktails and dinner, have major regrets I didn’t get there sooner. It’s such a convenient location, big bar, great service and delicious bites. I came for the “it girl dinner” offer and still can’t believe how good of a deal it was. A full size cocktail and more than enough food that I couldn’t even eat all the pasta for $25 (yes, $25). We also started with the grilled artichoke app which really was the star of the show. If you’re looking to catch up and tap with your bestie, this is the vibe (and best yet you don’t need to scream to hear each other). Already planning my next visit back!

The mojo pork with moro rice was delicious, and I highly recommend it. I also ordered a guava and cheese empanada and got a beef one in my order instead. It was fine, but it wasn't what I really wanted. Word to the wise: pass on the tres leches. It's a flavorless cake with the wrong texture swimming in a pool of evaporated milk. The taste is wrong, the texture is wrong, and two of the three milks are missing.

I have been going to Sophie’s for years and the food never disappoints!! I got the shredded beef stew this time and it was just as good as always, especially with the green sauce, which is a little bit spicy (not too hot though). I will definitely come again.

The food at Sophie's midtown was great. On a muggy day, tired and drained from work, Sophie's was the move. We had the chicken and rice, and the ropa and moro. Wow! Can't wait to try the pork chops with extra onions. Great experience, great staff.

I dined at utsav Restaurant in times square , and it was an unforgettable experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, but it was the food that truly stole the show. The butter chicken, bunna gosht, and chicken biryani were absolutely divine - the flavors were so rich and authentic, I couldn't get enough! The portions were generous too. The lady at the front desk - anchal was extremely courteous; she made us feel so comfortable and frequently checked if everything was fine. Highly recommend this place for authentic Indian cuisine.

This was my first time dining in at this location. I’ve tried their chicken fried rice several times as takeout and always enjoyed it, so I went in with high expectations. However, the dine-in experience was disappointing. There was a private party happening, and while the noise wasn’t an issue at first, the loud music and the crowd at the entrance made the entire space feel congested and chaotic. It felt like we were seated inside the party, and no one acknowledged or apologized for the inconvenience. The tables were extremely close together, to the point where it felt like I was sharing a side table with another group. As for the food, the flavors were good, but my chili garlic noodles (ordered vegetarian) had no vegetables at all, which was unexpected. I wouldn’t call it a bad experience, but it definitely fell short. At the very least, the staff should have informed us about the private party and potential disturbances before seating us. I’ll likely continue ordering takeout because the food is reliable, but I wouldn’t choose to dine in again, it simply wasn’t worth the time or discomfort.

I went here with very high hopes, especially after looking at the Bengali menu. But I was utterly disappointed. I finally found fish fry made from Bhetki in NYC, but the layering was so thick that fish was almost non-existent. The taste was just okay. Next, the nolen gurer ice cream tasted good (nolen gur or date jaggery flavor was authentic) but it was filled with vegetable fat (dalda). Not expected in nolen gurer sondesh/icecream. So, food is super mediocre at best. Service was fine, no complaints.

Amazing authentic food Staff are very friendly and attentive. We ordered Saag paneer , garlic naan , veg fried rice and veg Manchurian along with chaas and mango lassi. Every item was delicious. Little on the expensive side but worth one time visit for sure.

Utsav hosted my baby shower in the private dining room for my family and friends. It was a joyous moment that I will forever remember. They kindly let us decorate the back room to celebrate as seen in the picture. The food was amazing! SOOO good. We ordered family style for all the guests and everyone enjoyed their time. The wait staff were PHENOMENAL! THANK YOU GUATAM AND APOLINA! They were lifesavers as this was my first time organizing such an event and they made everything go smoothly. Utsav is where we'll be having our future new borns first baby birthday. I can not recomend it more. You can tell by my wife's bright smile that she enjoyed the moment and the restraurant. Thank you once again Utsav for the memories!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Dining Experience at Olive Garden – 2 Times Square, New York! I recently visited the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant located at 2 Times Square, and I have to say—it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. The service was truly excellent—attentive, warm, and perfectly paced. Every team member I interacted with went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, all while maintaining a friendly and professional attitude. And the food… wow. Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully prepared, and incredibly satisfying. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich and fresh, and even the classic breadsticks were warm and irresistible. You can really taste the care that goes into each plate. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Times Square, this Olive Garden is a fantastic choice for a relaxing and delicious Italian meal in the middle of the city’s excitement. I left completely happy and definitely planning to return soon. Highly recommend! 🍝✨

Olive Garden used to be one of my favorite restaurants—great food, great ambiance—but it’s definitely going downhill, or maybe it was just this specific location (Downtown Manhattan). The place is huge, clearly designed to handle large crowds since it’s in the heart of a major tourist area. Although the restaurant was full, we were seated immediately, which was impressive. We ordered the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, which was surprisingly bland—no flavor, not even salt. The lasagna tasted like a store-bought frozen meal: dry on the inside and drowned in a thick sauce that didn’t complement it well. The main course came with a large shared salad and some breadsticks, both at no extra cost. When we asked for olive oil and butter, the staff brought them right away, again free of charge—which was appreciated. I also ordered a beer and a margarita; my friend found the margarita overly sweet and hard to enjoy. The highlight of the visit was definitely the service. Our waiter Anthony was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. All the other staff were pleasant and professional too. ⸻ Overall: Great service, but unfortunately, the food didn’t meet expectations. Hoping it was just an off day for this location.

First and last time at Olive Garden. The food was pretty good, but the service needs serious work. When we arrived up the escalator we didn’t immediately realise the hostess desk was a sharp left and left again, and the attitude of this particular staff member appeared to be annoyance based on her facial expression, rather than understanding of the confusion. This set the tone for the entire meal. Our waiter was friendly but not attentive, he delivered our starters but we had no cutlery, and it took five minutes to get anyone’s attention to resolve the matter. It could have been solved quicker if staff were not continuously on their phones or chatting to each other. One staff member was on their phone 50 minutes out of the hour, they were in my line of sight and it was hard to ignore the unprofessionalism. Then, when our food did arrive, one of the orders was incorrect, but it was resolved quickly. Finally, when our bill came, I was asked directly what % tip I would be giving, when I said 20%, the particular staff member rolled his eyes, as I assume he wanted more. This place needs a serious management and staff overhaul, it should be the flagship store and be setting that standard. Service charge should be for good service, not whatever this was.

We had an amazing experience at Olive Garden NY thanks to our waitress, Jual. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was even better. Jual was incredibly attentive to detail, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. He checked in at just the right times and made us feel truly taken care of. This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had—thank you, Jual, for such excellent service!

This was a really cool Irish Bar, situated right in the middle of downtown Manhattan. We sat on the rooftop, which despite not having a great view, was very interesting! The food was great, the drinks were good enough, and the staff was alright. This restaurant took me back in time a little bit, which I mean in the best way possible. If they can get the service part down a little bit better, it'd be a can't miss place! Would recommend.
