    Roasted Bone marrow

    Overall great experience from service to seating to apps, dinner, dessert and wine. All enjoyable. The branzino was the star for me. Highly rec. The crispy rice could have been more flavorful but maybe it's because I'm a fan of spice . The Brussels amazing and so was the beef. They have a great wine collection and highly capable Sommeliers to assist you find the perfect one.

    The place is simply decorated. It gives off big but it's a decent space. The tables are pretty close to each other. Appetizers: beef quesadillas were not good. They weren't terrible or anything just a heavy salty mess with no other flavor to them. The corn tempura was delicious. I highly recommend. How they got those kernels of corn in a ball and fried it like that is genius. They had great flavor. The crispy rice with tuna was enjoyable. Light flavor and satisfying. The bao buns were dry and so was the meat in them. Avoid. The Peppers were nice. Our steak was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed it. I don't recommend the fries, they're very skinny and you don't get the satisfaction of a meaty fry. We also ordered mashed potatoes and they were very creamy. We were happy with them. Dessert: carrot cake and a chocolate individual cake. Neither was good honestly. It's avoid Dessert here. The mococktails are good.

    Excellent! Great vibe. Very popular. Was here for a small get together with a good friend who has been here before. This place is popular and the service is as is expected for a restaurant of this type. Wait at the bar and fight for an opportunity to have a drink. I feel bad for those who eat at the bar as people are constantly coming up behind them and getting drinks through them. Food was delicious. See pics. Standouts were: Beef Wellington Wagyu bolongese Quesadillas Seabass crudo Great place and cool vibe. Will be back!

    Very cute and classy restaurant. Aesthetically pleasing but food is a lot more on the pricey side and would only recommend you go for special occasions. If you want a fine dining experience it was spot on. Staff was great from the moment you walk into the restaurant, to when you leave. Food was good but not great lack of flavor for some of the entrees. The appetizers were better.

    Beefbar has a large space in the heart of Tribeca, with bouncers standing outside. It's a bit of a scene, but has the flexibility to cater to different types of patrons. There is bar seating, lounge seating, as well as a main dining room. Our group last minute requested to add 2 people to our reservation, and they were able to accommodate that. Food wise, the menu has a lot of options at various price points. They offer complimentary spiced crackers to begin. My party did not order anything from the pricier steak offerings. We stuck to the street food page and ordered many for the table to share. We got the croque sando, bao bun, Japanese milk bread, rock corn, crispy rice, and seasonal heirloom tomatoes dish. Also tried the truffle fries and jalapeño mash. Standouts for me were the croque sando, rock corn, truffle fries, and Japanese milk bread. The rock corn is prepared similarly to shrimp tempura, which was a fun take. Overall, it was a nice evening with good dishes.

    My friends have been to Beefbar a few times and took me while I'm visiting. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous - great vibes, music, and interior decor. Our waitress was super pleasant and checked in on us often. Food, on the other hand, was just average at best. There wasn't a specific dish or cocktail (color of money) that blew my mind for the price. Believe it or not, I thought the best tasting ones were the strawberry cheesecake, truffle fries with pieces of truffles, and the spinach salad. My least favorite were the croque sando and the bao buns. The croque sando sauce was a bit overpowering and the beef inside tasted like tender beef jerky. It was interesting. As for bao buns, the presentation was cool with the smoke but the filling tasted like shredded beef drenched in sweet hoisin sauce for lack of better description. Wagyu burger and Wagyu bolognese were just okay.

    Outstanding ambiance and service! The restaurant is beautiful, spacious, and clean. I stopped in the bar area and ,while it was quite busy, I immediately got service. The staff were polite and attentive.

    The food and drinks were good. They hand stuff the olives for dirty martinis. So good! Opted for a number of appetizers and then splitting the bolognese and cheesecake - next time I would definitely opt for steak. I was a little confused by how nutty they were about the dress code leading up considering some of the people we saw there. Most people were dressed to the nines but a girl at the table next to us was in an adidas track suit and we saw a whole group of guys in denim and T shirts.

    We celebrated a birthday at BeefBar, and overall it turned into a wonderful night with incredible food and great service. We started with two appetizers, the Croque Sando made with dry-aged beef ribeye ham, mozzarella, and La Sauce, and the Wagyu Quesadillas filled with braised Wagyu beef, Oaxaca cheese, and black truffle. Both dishes were rich, unique, and absolutely delicious. A perfect start. For dinner, we ordered the 10oz American Wagyu filet with sides of bacon and shishito peppers, and the Wagyu Bolognese, homemade pappardelle with a Wagyu beef ragu and Parmesan. Every bite was incredible. The flavors were bold, the textures were perfect, and both dishes were cooked beautifully. Dessert was an unexpected highlight. They were out of the one dessert we wanted since my boyfriend has a nut allergy and couldn't have most of the desserts, but our waiter surprised us with two complimentary desserts in honor of the birthday celebration, such a thoughtful gesture. The only downside was our arrival. The hostess was noticeably snooty, which definitely put a damper on the excitement we had walking in, hard to imagine that still happening in 2025. Thankfully, our waiter, the ambiance, and the food turned the night around completely. In the end, it was a great birthday dinner and a well spent $500 for two.

    Went here for my girlfriend birthday. First things first the location is gorgeous it's the old Nobu. I think the lounge is best to dine in on weekends for the live DJ & vibes if you're young. Now let's get to the food. They are best for small bites order from the street food section and you won't be disappointed. I think because they are a Monaco themed restaurant it's tricky to nail Italian and French at the same time but I think their Japanese and Mexican selection work well lol. I love the milk bread and wagyu quesadillas. I should have ordered double quesadillas instead of the wagyu pasta. I heard to stay away from the steak ironically so I guess it was slow stakes getting the pasta lol. Annie was a great help she was very knowledgeable and treated my girl to champagne and crème brûlée at the end of the night. I'd definitely come back to catch a vibe

    Excellent Service. Beautiful space - would recommend dining in the Lounge bc of the live dj. Would recommend ordering a bunch of items of the "street food menu" - everything is so good.

    Ribeye and sides
    Alex R.

    The space is really nice , has that Vegas vibe with a bit of member club feel. We got seated promptly. The menu is eclectic to say the least. The cocktails read better than the food with prices to match. Speaking of, everything is $25+ going upwards of $500 for wagyu ribeye . We opted for wagyu sando (skip) and quesadillas (repeat) which were more like mini tacos . We also split a ribeye and 2 sides. The beef was excellent and well medium rare prepared as ordered. The truffle mash and Brussels were good. The sprouts were more memorable than truffle mash. They were well charred with a nice citrus finish. I could have eaten a whole side by myself but of course shared :) . Total damage was $280 for 2, tip included . Hardly bargain but not ultimately not memorable for me to come back on repeat

Seriously, there has to be something wrong with you. My sister is one of the pickiest eaters that I know. Always has been and always will be. She just started eating raw onions several years ago and still doesn't like cooked onions. Even she was able to find something at Jacob's Pickles and it delicious. With regards to the rest of what we ordered, we ordered the Hog In A Blanket as our appetizer and both my daughter and sister ordered the Grilled Salmon Salad. I ordered the Turkey Leg braised in white wine and served with whipped potatoes, Rosemary Biscuit Stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce and gravy. The Hogs in a Blanket were their version of Pigs In a Blanket. The major difference being that Jacob's Pickles are served in puff pastry and with their own house made pickles. Yummy! The salmon salad was served with baby greens, sliced oranges, red onion, cilantro and a light orange vinaigrette. Everything and I do mean everything was delicious. It was a gut-buster of a meal and everything was perfectly prepared. The salmon was expertly cooked and the turkey literally fell away from the bone and tendons of the turkey leg. Just plain old good food in an attractive homey setting wins out all of the time! It's a must go!

We ordered the fried pickles appetizer, which were pretty good. I ordered the smash burgers and the ratio of bun to meat was laughable. The bun was 3" thick and all I tasted was bread. I have no idea how the meat was because I was eating mostly bun. The fries were nothing special, just whatever they order in frozen. My friend ordered the Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich. It came with burned bacon and over-fried green tomatoes that I tried, but were so chewy they were inedible. She said the chicken was also over-fried and dry. She said the cole slaw was spicy and flavorful and so moist that it made the dry chicken edible. Our third friend ordered a salad (I forget which - some kind of wedge) and she said it was pretty OK.

It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

The Thick Cut Bacon (8.5/10) was sweet, crunchy, and cooked perfectly. The Wagyu Cheeseburger (7.5/10) tasted good, but the bun was too dry, dense, and oversized for the burger. The King Crab Rangoon (8/10) was packed with crab, almost too much for my taste, but the sweet chili and hot mustard sauces balanced it out nicely. The Espresso Martini (6/10) was a pretty standard espresso martini. The Long Island Cold Brew (3/10) tasted like cold brew mixed with vodka, which just wasn't for me. Service was fine overall (7/10). The highlight was the complimentary sorbet they brought out for my friend's birthday. The vibes were classic Hogsalt with dim lighting, old-school jazz, and a cozy atmosphere (7/10).

Special shoutout to the Reuben-flavored ravioli and Chicken & Dumpling flavored Gnocchi Third Course: Nashville Fried Chicken, and Catfish Everything tasted so so so good and original - I've quite literally never had anything like any of the pastas we tried. The one tiny critique I have is that I don't think a slice of white bread under the fried chicken was necessary. I know it's tradition but I didn't need it with all of the other amazing amazing food we had. All of the desserts sounded absolutely amazing but unfortunately we were all so full and had a show to run to, but I will 100% be back hopefully multiple times and will know for the next time to save some room. Overall 10/10. Definitely recommend getting a reservation as the entire space is maybe 15 seats total!

    Damn. Almost perfect…read more Stopped by with my daughter this morning. I wanted smothered chicken but it wasn't available. No problem. My hongry self had a Plan B, fried chicken. So, I ordered the fried chicken, greens, yams, extra side of 'tato salad, AND a sweet potato pie. The girl working there was great! Had a great time talking to her and was happy to tip. Ordering food or at a sit-down restaurant, of course I'ma tip. When it's just ordering at a counter... Sometimes, yes, but most of the time, nah. Then again, it depends on the service. But, this sister was great, helpful and an absolute pleasure to talk to. Two meals came to about $60 and I tipped $10. We got our orders to go cos my child had to catch a train to Connecticut. Weather was gorgeous so I walked around for a bit. Was thisclose to walking to Junior's for a b/w cookie but didn't because I'd gotten dessert with my order, the sweet potato pie. Or so I thought. Didn't even think to check my bag cos the sister even repeated our orders as she gave us our bags. I get home, started emptying my bag... No pie. I reached out to my daughter n' said, I hope you have two pies (she also ordered one), cos there's no pie in my bag! Nope, she only got one pie. Maaaan the disappointment that I am feeling...! So, the food... Fried chicken pieces were big and delicious. Greens... I'd had an acting job that was catered by Melba's, so I'd had and loved their greens before and it's the reason I wanted to pay them a visit. I LOVE Melba's greens!! And, today, they did not disappoint! I don't know how they season them. but *chef's kiss* Yams are good. Not what I'm used to. For years, I've been the designated maker of the candied yams for holiday meals. I use a very simple recipe. Keyshawn's Mom's Candied Yams. Flawless. Always come out delicious. These yams are...different. Delicious. Just...different. Large blocks of yams. 'Tato salad is good, too. Not my mama's which is my standard. But, still delicious. I will definitely go back. I'll just make sure everything I pay for is in the bag. So, yeah, this woulda/coulda/damn sure shoulda easily have been a 5-star visit. But the missing pie... DEDUCTION!!

    Melba's must have received the memo: return the chicken sandwich to the original size. The chicken…read morebreast now out sizes the bun once again and everyone should be happy. I like it with everything: cole slaw and pickles, with hot sauce and chipotle mayo. For just under ten bucks, the chicken sandwich is the best thing you can buy in the basement of Grand Central. It's almost a complete meal in a sandwich and I often buy two at a time. 4.2 stars!
