Best dinner I have had in NYC. I made a reservation in advance and was promptly seated within 5-6min after checking in. We proceeded to order our drinks and food and enjoy the design of Carmines. It is not a quiet place and fairly loud with the amount of people inside. Food came out steaming hot and a large sharable portion. Drinks and food were absolutely delicious and waiter was very accommodating. Definitely visit!! They will see me again when I am back in the city. Paid $85 for our food and multiple drinks, A BARGAIN for a place of this stature.

We had a really good dinner at Carmine's. Our waitress Ashley was amazing. She was friendly and attentive and very helpful with everything. We got the baked clams for our appetizer, and they were cooked to perfection. For our main, we shared the mixed seafood plate with angel hair pasta in the red sauce it was cooked wonderfully. We also had the chocolate cannoli with pistachios. I would definitely come back on our next trip to New York.

This place came highly recommended. We made reservations for 6 pm. Crowds were waiting outside. Once we got in we were told they were running behind. We didn't get seated until 6:30. Unfortunately we got seated at a busy spot and all evening long I kept getting my seat bumped. Our waiter brought over a basket of bread plus two glasses of prosecco for our anniversary dinner. Our waiter was very helpful in advising us on what to order. He recommended chicken marsala over spaghetti, just one order to split. It turned out the plate could have fed four people. It was good. The portion size makes up for the expensive dish since it is huge. It was hard to hear but it was a lively atmosphere.

Fantastic experience. Food was delicious and massive portions. Each dish could feed a family of 5 it felt like. The vibe was awesome, really good jazz and old Christmas music and a really enjoyable atmosphere. A must visit in NYC.

carmines is a great place to dine for family or friend events. The portion was huge & the waiters are friendly, they kept checking up on us & our food. price was steep but worth the price if you split among your friends/relatives.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Seafood and Atmosphere!
My friend and I visited the Red Lobster at Times Square while on a trip from Montreal, and it was amazing! The location is perfect, right in the heart of NYC, which gave us an exciting vibe as soon as we walked in. The seafood was fresh and delicious—especially the lobster and shrimp dishes!
Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits were a highlight, and we kept asking for more. It was a fun and memorable experience, and we both felt it was the perfect spot for a seafood feast while exploring the city.
Highly recommend for anyone visiting Times Square who wants great seafood and a lively atmosphere

This is a really big location with an elevator and stairs to the second floor dining area. Ate here while visiting NYC. Server was pretty goood and food was decent. Manager was very friendly and even gave our table a complimentary dessert. The restaurant was clean as well.

We experienced a great meal with tasty lobster with nice staff. No rush with a bill on the table directly after you swallowed your last bite of food. Food was great and the drinks were very nice. My hands were very sticky so I asked if I could use the shower to clean myself, staff have never heard this before and laughed out loud. I can recommend this restaurant if you visit New York!

Lobster 🦞 was supper delicious and perfectly cooked. Cocktails were quite better than before. The best part was boiled shrimps with garlic and biscuits. Service was fast and Pratik helped us a lot. We are %100 satisfied. Everything was great 😊 so it can't be a coincidence. They do their best to provide the best service👍🏼🔥

Decided to buy some of their famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits to go. The hostess/ greeter is very nice and works quickly. She had to call someone to take my order. It took about 10 minutes for the other person to come down to take the order. After taking the order, it was another 25 minutes for the order to come out. I only ordered biscuits (no seafood). There was only one chair (that wasn't in the first floor sitting area) while waiting. You have to walk around toward the back to pay for the order. They don't accept tap to pay for payment. This includes: Apple Pay / Google Pay. You MUST have the physical card or cash to pay. They did not warn me before. There is a sign by the register in thr back. For those that were dining in and were sent to the second floor, the elevator wasn't working so they had to go up maybe 1.5/2 flights of stairs.

We booked for Thanksgiving dinner, not wanting to struggle to find a table.
It was really busy, but we were seated prior to our reservation time.
They had a Thanksgiving menu along with the normal menu.
It was a little expensive for what we got.
The food was beautiful and traditional as we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia. we appreciated the meal.
We shared the pumpkin pie, and it was good.
Haven't tried this before. The pastry was perfect, and the filling smooth and overly sweet

Awesome place; but they are so used
To have many visitors that they don’t bother to please the clients. I had a bad experience with the manager REX; I made my reservation to enjoy the time at the restaurant; we had a good meal but
When I was starting to drink my last beer;
The manager called us to leave the table
As they had another reservation; come on; we were finishing and I was not the entire night at the table; not more than 1.5hours (maybe less; I’m being conservative here). Note: the bill was more than $250 dollars.
In resume; they have so many tourists at the restaurant that they don’t care to treat
You well.
The place is amazing; but I will never return due to the bad service; I don’t wanna be in a place they don’t care for the client.

We had an amazing time at Hard Rock Cafe! We ordered off the “Summer Special” menu, which was a great deal—an appetizer, main dish, and dessert for just $45. The food was fantastic! We started with the nachos, which were loaded with toppings and perfect for sharing. For the main course, the 1/2 rack of ribs was tender, flavorful, and fell right off the bone. And to top it all off, the NY cheesecake was creamy and delicious—a must-try for dessert lovers.
The staff was friendly, the service was prompt, and the rock-themed ambiance made it a fun dining experience. Highly recommend stopping by for the Summer Special deal!

The Hard Rock Cafe in Time Square is much larger than you would expect from the outside and you can typically get seated relatively quickly. We came here for a dinner while visiting New York as we try to go to each one in a city we are visiting.
The food was good overall, and the menu has a good amount of choices ranging from burgers, bbq items and salads. We started with an onion ring tower and the they were really good, the batter is the crispy bread crumb type, not a beer batter. We also shared a plate of nachos which are very good and is a large serving.
I got the steak Cobb salad which was ok, I would have like a bit more tastier salad dressing but overall it was good. My son got the Diablo burger which he said was ok but not the greatest and did not have enough spiciness as the description made it out to be.
The service was ok, not the fastest but met expectations. The restaurant is super loud with music (which is expected) but don't expect to have a great conversation without speaking loudly to others. Not necessarily a place I would run to go back to but also wouldn't turn it down either.

Pretty disappointing overall. Firstly the service, which was really poor. Although the gentleman was a nice guy we waited 30 mins for our drinks, then we ordered our starters 45 mins in expecting to order our entrées separately (as he didn’t ask if we were having any), finally our starters arrived and we asked if we should order our entrees, at which point he said, “I thought you weren’t having anything else” 🤦🏻♂️. Another wait ensued. Then they got our order wrong so one person had to wait while we all had our food.
The food was generally OK, but nothing special. I appreciate it is a tourist trap and I wasn’t expecting phenomenal food, but the burgers were unseasoned, bland and small and there are so many better places to have a good burger in the city (which is disappointing as this place promotes its “legendary burgers”). The burgers and fries were slung on the plates and looked unappetizing, the nachos cold with cheese congealing, but the wings were nice.
Obviously the rock memorabilia is awesome and really interesting, I just wish I’d taken a sneaky walk around the place rather than wasted 2 hours and $$$!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dave & Buster's, and I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful our experience was, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by the manager, Travis.
From the moment we walked in, Travis greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. He was not only welcoming but also incredibly attentive, taking the time to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. His enthusiasm for providing excellent customer service truly stood out, and it made our visit all the more enjoyable.
Travis went above and beyond to recommend some of the best games to try in the arcade and even suggested delicious menu items that we couldn’t resist. His knowledge of the offerings was impressive, and his passion for creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere was contagious.

This Dave n Busters actually IDs people with kids 1st one I've been to that did that. Otherwise it was a great experience. They have a big dinning area as well as a private party room. They have game machines that actually work. It's located in the heart of times square you'll love it!!! My family came down from Colorado and we had a blast.

The food was actually very delicious! We got the wings and they were fresh and tasty! Our server was very attentive and friendly. The only thing was the food did take a while to come out but not a big deal. We also played some games but some of the games were out of service or the credits needed to play were just a bit high. We went through $20 in like ten mins. But other than that it was a good experience!

Wanted a nice fancy meal before a Broadway show and found lambs club. The service was fantastic, as well as the drinks. The food was tasty but not amazing and for the price a bit disappointing. The steak was good but the sauce lacked, and the potato was quite small, being smaller than the onion! The desert was quite in my taste with a berry jelly.

The service was incredible and the waiters were so nice. It is a really cool chill area with a fire. The buns are delicious but I don't recommend the steak tartare. The halibut and duck are so good and the desert is amazing

Arrived early for breakfast- no one in the place yet. But took 35 minutes to take our order. The place was soon packed. No coffee refills, no salt/pepper on the table, forgot our bread order, took forever to get it. Great atmosphere. Knowledge about dietary restrictions. Food was very good. Need to work on service.

This is a very nice upscale restaurant on Times Square. I had a girls dinner with my friend. We had a really nice warm welcome and pleasant experience. The staff made sure we are comfortable and attentive. They came to greet us by our name to ensure our services are taken care. Indeed, knowledgeable and would recommend us options that cater to our taste buds. Every staff were highly professional. We will definitely come back again and let people know that the food are amazing as well!

This place was superior, had brunch with a friend here recently and it blew my sticks off. The decor was splendid and modern with a huge fireplace making it feel as if I was home in my mansion eating in the living room space. This also may have been the best burger I’ve ever had and well worth the price. Drinks come just as good as they look and strong. The staff was so professional I forgot I was eating in the heart of NYC. Totally recommend this place for This wanting not only a fine dining experience but good quality, elegance and supreme taste!

Awesome little Irish pub. We visited a couple times due to close proximity to our hotel. Drinks on the 4th floor roof was kind of fun just to be outside and look down the street. We ate here as well and enjoyed the food. Great menu. Fun place.

My wife and I were recently in New York from Scotland and Connolly's was my favourite place for a beer!
They have so many beers on tap, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and chilled.
The patrons were also more knowledgeable about football (soccer) than they were in some other establishments that I watched the Euros in!

First official day in New York and we got to go inside this restaurant. Personally, I never watched the movie but the atmosphere was just like a 19s seaside restaurant! Tye crab rolls were the best for me but the shrimp was really flavourful, and the sauce was excellent too. The waiters even pointed out on the best dishes that hey recommended us to try, everyone should give this place a shot

Came here on. A Sunday evening. It was not crowded and was seated quickly. The appetizers range from 12-17 dollars with shrimp entree priced around 24-30$$. Te space is nice with windows all around so you can see Times Square with all the lights the can chowder is ok and the fried shrimp pretty good. The food took a while to come.

Delightfully surprised to find this cute restaurant and gift shop.
Everything was relevant to the film and so well put together. The atmosphere was perfect, with people from all over, marvelling and reminiscing about the film. One area was even decorated like mama's house! Posters, quotes and merch at every turn - a really fun experience with good food and located within easy reach of Time Square.
They did only offer one vegetarian main dish and a couple of sides - but the one dish they served was delicious!
Gorgeous New York cheesecake for dessert 👌
They had a limited offer of a free etched glass with every beer or cocktail, which would be a lovely keepsake.

Pretty overhyped in my opinion - we came with great expectations after a recommendation from a friend, but thought the food was relatively flat.
Food: Garlic prawns were nice, although the prawn shells were sticky and hard to peel, which could be due to freshness.
Service: Service was good throughout, fast and decent service.
Atmosphere: Very old school, interesting decor like a NY-style diner.
Overall, I think there are much better options in NY, but your mileage may vary!
