Absolutely loved it here! We’ve wanted to try this spot for awhile; I’m so glad we were able to come for dinner. We didn’t have reservations, showed up at 4:40 and they told us to come back at 5:00 pm, because that’s when they begin seating for dinner. I ordered an iced tea, steak frites, mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Everything was delicious and very fresh. There was plenty to share and the sides we ordered were for the table. I’ll definitely be back again soon to order the steak again. It was the best steak I’ve gotten in the city; it was juicy and hot. I loved it. We want to come back for brunch too; their breakfast options looked great too. There is also a pastry shop next door where you can order drinks and snacks. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I’ll definitely be back again soon.

Delicious food and good service. What more could you want? Got the mac & cheese and the steak frites, both were excellent. Portions were quite big for us, and we were stuffed. Needless to say, no dessert. The restaurant is also a bakery, which has very tasty bread. Overall a great experience!

This place is a great restaurant. The atmosphere really reflects a parisian Bistro. The food is very good. I gave a neutral stars rating for the service, not because it was bad, but because the waiters were very busy so they were kinda in a hurry to take our order and it took them a while to check on us to see if we needed anything else, on and off the menu. Anyways, I really recommend to have lunch or dinner there, preferably not at the peak hours and you'll probably a 5 star experience

One of my friend meet me there, was full outside and inside but u can just go in and sit at the bar. Very classy bar, lot of options to drink and eat. I just took the onion soup but maybe was the best that I tried in many years.

✨ A little slice of Paris in the heart of New York! We walked into Balthazar on a rainy day without a reservation — and somehow got lucky with a table outside. The drizzle only added to the charm and made the experience unforgettable. The portions are generous, the flavors divine. Every dish felt carefully prepared, fresh, and satisfying. The atmosphere was buzzing, yet cozy — and the service was fast, warm, and attentive. Perfect spot for a delicious lunch with that unmistakable French touch. Highly recommend booking in advance — we were lucky, but this place fills up for a reason.

Old-school charm, coal-fired crust, and a slice of NYC history. Lombardi’s doesn’t mess around. This place is literally America’s first pizzeria (since 1905), and honestly, you can taste the legacy. I went with the rustic double pepperoni pizza, and it was spot on: crispy, slightly charred crust, bright tomato sauce, they use special pepperoni , gooey mozzarella, and fresh basil. No gimmicks—just really good pizza done right. The rigatoni and meatballs is also a must. The place is Cozy, busy, and buzzing with tourists and locals alike. You’ll probably wait a bit, but it moves fast and the staff keeps things running smoothly. Prices are a little higher than your corner slice joint, but this isn’t dollar pizza—it’s legendary pizza. You’ll love it!

Super fast service, iconic food. We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday and we were seated before 6pm. Expect a wait, it's a popular place. We got the pepperoni pizza and an order of meatballs and both were delicious. The meatballs came in an ample amount of sauce which we scooped up with the crust of the pizza to make sure none of it went to waste. It's cash only, so make sure you bring cash or are prepared to use the ATM. I also really enjoyed the classic feel of the decor and the celebration of heroes on the walls.

We went to check out this iconic pizzeria last thanksgiving and the experience was great. Classic and cozy vibe, nice and fast service with good food. We love the pizzas and other dishes we ordered. It’s a must try for tourists since it’s first pizzeria in New York. Also if I live in the area I would come back often.
Krystal Liu - 2 months ago

I been here in the past and don't recall the sauce being this tangy. Once you walk in and get your table the first thing they tell you is “cash only”. The crust was crunchy, fresh basil and slabs of mozzarella. I was a bit disappointed with the overall taste. Our waiter asked where we were going after and clearly didn’t care. We got no response from him after we answered his question. I say if you don’t care then don’t ask. Don’t make it awkward. Overall still an honor to eat at the first pizzeria in America.

While visiting New York, we really wanted to taste New York pizza. We went to Lombardi's and loved the food! We shared two pizzas (pepperoni and margarita), eggplant with rigatoni, a wedge salad, and Alfredo. We loved every bite!

stumbled upon La Esquina Brasserie entirely by accident, walking along Lafayette Street in New York, but what a find it turned out to be! A tour guide had mentioned it, but discovering it on my own made it feel like a hidden gem. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. You head down the steps, and it’s like stepping into a secret speakeasy. The lighting was just right, creating a warm and inviting vibe. The barmen were fantastic—friendly, professional, and really added to the experience. The food was another highlight. Their tacos and other dishes were delicious, and the drinks paired perfectly. What surprised me most was how reasonably priced everything was; it felt like a luxury experience without breaking the bank. The crowd there was equally wonderful—friendly, relaxed, and lovely to chat with. It added to the charm of the place. I’d recommend La Esquina Brasserie to anyone looking for a unique and memorable spot in New York. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience you won’t forget.

Really great service especially by the bartenders who were so accommodating. Cocktails were excellent. The beef quesadilla was also really yummy.
Marion - 2 months ago

Really cool place - if you didn’t know about it, you’d probably walk straight past it. The front looks like a very small ‘hole in the wall’ eatery but once you’re in, they direct you downstairs, through the kitchen, into the restaurant. Nice bar area, nice ambiance. A bit dark inside and loud music, tables quite close together, but good food and great service. Definitely worth a visit.
Sunil Raja - 8 months ago

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the underground speakeasy restaurant La Esquina. Reservation is required to access this one via a guarded door leading to the underground scene with cramped but very lively bar, restaurant and dj scene! Food is generally very good but nothing that particularly stands out as deserving five stars.
Eric D - 10 months ago

You have to try this place! you walk up to a very unassuming deli-like restaurant and note that you have a reservation for La Esquina - the place was empty - no tables, nothing. The host radios to somebody else that hes sending a party of 2 down. Then a hidden door in the wall opens and we are led to the basement of this building which is likely 100 years old - Very cool! - food was great and service was great too! Neat place!

Rubirosa was an amazing dining experience from start to finish! The place has a warm, authentic vibe, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We started with the fried mozzarella—perfectly crisp on the outside, fresh inside, and served with a marinara sauce that had just the right spicy kick. The tie-dye pizza was outstanding—thin, crispy crust, flavorful sauce, gooey cheese, and tasty pepperoni that all came together beautifully. To top it off, the cheesecake was incredible—light, creamy, and perfectly complemented by a sweet strawberry sauce. Truly a match made in heaven. Highly recommend Rubirosa if you’re looking for delicious food and a great atmosphere in the city!
Jonathan Sanchez - 3 months ago

I don't think this place is worth the hype or cost but it's fine. Their tie-dye pizza with pesto, vodka, and tomato sauces is worth a try, but it's not winning any awards. The pizza was solid, but the pasta was disappointing. The Lumache with Vodka sauce was lacking any real standout flavor, and vodka sauce amount was fairly meager. The pasta itself was unremarkable.

Update: Julio, thanks for taking the time to write me back. I now appreciate the complexity that goes into running a restaurant with fantastic food, great value, huge demand, and limited seating. I have revised my review to 5 stars. Thank you Good spot in the heart of downtown. Wish they weren't so crazy about the reservation system. It seems the only way to get a table is to show up and get on the list, then wait 30 mins. The irony of it all is that there are always a ton of tables empty inside. Such is the allure, seems they are just trying to make people wait to increase anticipation. They also wouldn't switch our table as we were right under the AC - they claimed they had "another reservation" but I thought they don't take reservations? Strange. That all said, the food is excellent. Pizza is perfect. Very well priced.

Located on Nolita, Rubirosa has developed into a much loved Italian restaurant known for their pizza. Wafer thin crusts make it tasty to eat. Beverly and I had lunch here recently for yet another birthday celebration. We had one pizza. One half was the Arugula with tomato sauce, red onion, parmigiana and balsamic and the other half was the “Tie Dye” with a topping of vodka, tomatoes, mozzarella and pesto. We shared a arugula salad anointed with a refredhing lemon vinaigrette that was quite large. The arrival of the pizza was heralded with joy! We ate well and the one slice left I took home. Star, our server, gave me a cookie lit with a candle as we skipped dessert being too full. One can get a reservation on Resy for Rubirosa but as it has become so popular it is at times difficult to snag a reservation. I have been having pizza here for decades and in those days walking in to eat was easy. Aurpita and Michelle, the two charming hostesses, made us feel welcome and gave me hope that I would be able to enjoy lunch here once again.

Tried this place out based on a recommendation.. elote was delicious. The sandwiches were really good, and the garlic dip for tostones was sooooo good 🤤. Ended up ordering food to take for lunch the next day! The seating is a little tight, but atmosphere is cute. Outdoor dining gives you the most space.

Title: Café Habana: A Cozy Nolita Spot with Standout Grilled Corn Review: After a demanding workday, I recently dined at Café Habana, a quaint Cuban-Mexican eatery nestled in Nolita. From the exterior, the establishment appeared closed, but a quick peek through the windows revealed its doors were open. The interior is compact, exuding more of a bar or tavern ambiance than a traditional restaurant. This cozy setting contributes to its unique New York City charm. The service, while not particularly swift, was satisfactory; however, I noticed that staff didn't check in during the meal, a touch often appreciated in dining experiences. For my meal, I chose the grilled chicken cutlet plate accompanied by rice and black beans. The dish was enjoyable, aligning with standard offerings at similar Cuban establishments. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the grilled corn—a delightful combination of mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chili powder, and fresh lime—that lived up to its acclaim. It's no surprise that many patrons rave about this signature item. One aspect that stood out was the absence of dessert options, which was unexpected. Additionally, the music selection leaned towards hip-hop and other genres, differing from the Latin rhythms I had anticipated. While it didn't detract from the experience, it was a notable deviation from the traditional ambiance one might expect. In summary, Café Habana offers a cozy atmosphere with standout dishes like their renowned grilled corn. While some elements, such as music choice and dessert availability, differ from traditional expectations, it's a spot worth revisiting to explore more of their menu offerings.

I’ve been to this restaurant four times now, and every visit has been outstanding. The seafood is incredibly fresh, the staff is always warm, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. On top of that, the décor is beautiful; the space is designed to look like the inside of a boat, which adds to the whole dining experience. This has become one of my favorite spots in SoHo.

Sunday brunch idea- skip the typical cafes and come here! I love when I can get a lobster roll and sushi. My friends and I got brunch here and what I loved is that Lure offers breakfast foods like omelettes but also sushi, lobster rolls and main dishes. Our waiter was so cute and sweet bringing us crab rolls as compliments from the chef. So far this is one of my top seafood and sushi spots for taste, options, and service. I’ll be back & thanks Lure!
Lina Stef - 4 months ago

In the Summer I came here with my Family expecting another average Fish Place. But this Restaurant’s ambition for the best service and uniqueness made this place a truly special Restaurant in the Summer that I’ll never forget. Perfect seasoning on everything like the Glazed Salmon and a cozy interior of the Restaurant making you feel like you’re inside a boat. Excellent food like the Tuna Tacos, Lobster Roll, the Hellfire Roll and more!

Lure has been my go-to spot for years…There is always an upbeat sophisticated vibe, a menu with so many options and a superb staff..The team went above and beyond to make sure our anniversary dinner was 4 ⭐…We were pleasantly surprised when two glasses of champagne and a beautiful appetizer arrived quickly after we were seated…Our waitress Alicia was fantastic, as was the manager Razaki who made sure our experience was fabulous…Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the tuna tacos, spicy tuna rice, and crab cakes. Thank you for another special evening :)

I decided to explore all the legendary desserts in New York — after all, I have a sweet tooth, and where better to indulge than NYC? Eileen’s Cheesecake shows up on every list — you simply can’t ignore it if you’re researching the city’s best cheesecakes. It’s a small spot with a charming blue-and-white facade. Inside, it smells a bit like cleaning supplies (they do keep it very clean), with one mirrored wall and another covered in awards and articles. Even though it was closing in less than 30 minutes, the display case was still almost full. Their cheesecakes come in perfectly round shapes, with a flavor for every mood. We tried two: the Original and the Salted Caramel. I was worried about the overly sweet American flavors — but that wasn’t the case here at all! The flavors were well-balanced, and that made the experience even more delightful.
Kristina Zhegunova - 2 weeks ago

This was some of the best cheesecake's I've had. Super light and fluffy, sweet but not too sweet, and a great variety of flavors. Their raspberry one in particular is an absolute 10/10. I could eat 5 of those everyday(I won't, because I won't live very long if I do). An absolute must visit if you're ever in NYC.

I got the Oreo & Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. The oreo was really good. Original cheesecake with Oreo crumble. The Chocolate Mousse was a little strong for me. Im assuming dark chocolate which my tastebuds arent ready for yet lol Small little spot. Happy i was in the area!

Heard a lot of positive reviews about this place had to give it a try, especially for my daughter who has an elephant sized sweet tooth😉. This place does live up to the hype. It’s a very small shop, friendly service, no place to sit, however there is a standing bar table where you can stand and savor your cheese cakes. I tried the coconut and pineapple both were awesome. Will I go out of the way to try them - No ! I will give them a try if I am in the area and would like to have a bite size dessert.
Sachin Sawant - 3 months ago

I guess I had set my expectations too high. I was a little disappointed. The cheese taste was nice and fresh. The portion was enough. However, it was too sweet. The sauce used on top of the strawberry one tasted artificial. It was ruining the integrity. The parts without the sauce were better. In general, I found both of them to be sugary.

it was nice. super cute. got french toast and yes a few parts were undercooked but other than that it was good. nice thick bread and crispy on the outside. the maple butter tasted a little freezer burnt and was a tiny amount. the berry sauce was mostly just a thin sugar syrup with barely any berry. the mint was just a garnish. so yeah it was good but probably won't be back just because it was just good, not great.

Called in on off chance of getting a table for 4 on a Saturday morning, totally expecting it to be fully booked as it looked like a really cool place and right in the heart of Soho, but they got us in. The food was amazing. The brunch menu just mouth watering, SO many options. I opted for fried chicken and pancakes with whipped lemony ricotta, my son and husband both had a full breakfast with bacon and eggs and pancakes and avocado, daughter had the French toast. We loved it so much we booked to go back tmrw for our last day before heading to JFK. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Been to other The Grey Dog locations, first time at this one and did not disappoint! It was so good, we ordered our food and within 12 min everything was at the table. Loved it! The sweet potato fries were so delish. Orange juice is always fresh and tasty.
Patricia Doña - 4 months ago

If brunch were a religion, Grey Dog in SoHo would be the cathedral — and I’d be showing up early in my Sunday best. We sat at the bar (as always, the only way to do it) and were immediately welcomed like long-lost friends by the kind of staff that actually wants to be there — and it shows. Let’s talk drinks: I started with an espresso martini that could quite literally raise the dead — smooth, strong, and dangerously sippable. Followed it up with their spicy Bloody Mary, which slapped me awake in the best possible way. Spicy, tangy, and perfectly balanced. A+ cocktail game. Food? Don’t even get me started… okay, too late: I had the avocado toast, but switched the poached egg for scrambled (because I’m a rebel like that) and added a side of bacon that deserves its own award. Thick, crispy, salty — bacon dreams are made of this. Every bite was a love letter to my taste buds. My girl went with the breakfast croissant sandwich with eggs and bacon, and I swear I saw her soul leave her body in bliss. Flaky, buttery croissant + perfectly cooked eggs + that same legendary bacon = chef’s kiss. The vibe? Cool without trying too hard. Laid back but buzzing. It’s the kind of spot where creatives sip lattes next to hungover legends chasing redemption with brunch. The soundtrack, the service, the ambiance — everything was just right. Grey Dog, you’ve done it again. Don’t ever change.

From the moment we walked in, the staff at Parm made us feel genuinely welcome. Their warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism elevated the entire dining experience. Every course was spot-on — fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The chicken parm lived up to its reputation, and the sides and desserts were equally memorable. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both hospitality and food quality this well. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a consistently excellent meal in a vibrant, comfortable setting.

Had a great experience at Parm in SoHo. The service was excellent. Our waiter was super helpful and accommodating. We mentioned we were in a bit of a rush, and she made sure the food came out quickly without compromising quality. We ended up with a copious amount of food, all of it delicious. A solid spot for Italian in the Soho.

I happened into this place by chance as I was out walking around the city and I am so glad I did. Diego is not only an exceptional bartender, he's also brilliant, kind and engaging. My visit, as it turns out, wasn't so much about the food or beverages as it was about...something else. I needed to hear what Diego had to say even though I didn't know it at the time. I look forward to enjoying more beverages (and a meal) on my next visit to the city. Thank you, Diego, for being at the bar that afternoon. Much appreciated.

You kinda pay for the vibes. The staff is amazing and unbelievably kind (maybe that’s just a Latino thing). Food was mid tho? And overpriced, but it’s soho, so MY BAD for wanting affordable food lol! My family is Latino and maybe we just don’t like this type of food but like, there was tinyyyy portions. Latte was fire 🥹🥲 and I forgot to take a pic of the food!

Visited to try fondue with my French friend. First time trying fondue for me. Even though I’m not really a cheese person, I really enjoyed the cheese of their classic fondue cause it had that slightly bitter and sour taste in it, which allowed me to not feel too greasy with having the cheese over and over again. In other words, the taste balance of the cheese itself was pretty amazing. However, the bread that came along was so dry and lacked any texture into it, so dipping it into the cheese didn’t necessarily made any synergy, so too bad. They also provided fruits like apple/pear/grape and those sweet flavors went very ugly and weird when dipped into the cheese. My friend said he never saw fruits coming in as part of fondue during his entire life, so I guess it’s not a usual thing?
