We had high hopes! Came for dinner last night for our 8:30 reservation. Grabbed a drink prior at…read morethe bar. The bartender was less than warm and welcoming. Zero personality. As we had our cocktails we discussed going somewhere else as the vibe was flat. But my husband convinced me to stay as it's already 8:30. We head upstairs to our table, only to be greeted by another less enthusiastic server. He never told us his name or offered up any menu highlights. I was excited to have bone marrow and escargot. Both failed epically. The bone marrow was inedible as it was like cold custard. Escargot had zero flavor and a real lack of garlic and good butter. Tasted more like vegetable oil than good butter. We shared the lobster pasta entree. Tasted more like Mexican goulash. No Italian flavors to be found in the sauce. Never once did the nameless waiter stop and inquire about our meal. Just all around a poor experience and a disappointing Friday night. There are far better places that appreciate your patronage. We will not be coming back. Not worth it.

Our experience with the hostess was positive as our group of eight was looking for a place to eat and drink after the Knicks Championship parade.

As we stood outside Googling other places close by she came out and said they could move some table groups around to seat us all, but they tables would no be next to each other. We politely declined, but were appreciative of the courtesy and looking out for us. I'll definitely check out this bar for football season because of that.

My friends were in town from Hawaii and decided they wanted to try this midtown establishment for…read moredinner last weekend. I have seen it before and it always looks like an enjoyable experience. I was quite surprised by my personal experience as it fell short of what I hoped for. Ambiance and decor were typical for a Saturday evening dinner: dark and loud, however, it was very dim due to it being a railroad set up with no windows except for the very front of the space. The decor is dark as well and gave a cave vibe. The restaurant was EXTREMELY hot. We asked the waiter about the A/C and his response was "they are working on it". The restaurant remained uncomfortably hot for our entire meal. No windows, no air flow, no A/C is a combination for misery. The bar was almost the entire length of the restaurant and was the only well-lit area of the restaurant. It was not separate from the seated areas. Our table was cocktail size and definitely too small for 3 guests. Service was mediocre. I asked our waiter about a drink and he did not know. I asked the same waiter about the A/C and received a lame answer. He was not knowledgeable nor timely. We had to ask for plates when the food arrived because we ordered finger foods to share. The food took a long time to be served (over 20 minutes). The place is small so I guess my expectation of faster service was too much to hope for. The food was touch and go. My friend's husband ordered a cheeseburger and fries. He seemed to enjoy it and as you can see from the picture it was a basic plate of food. I shared a salad, fried olives and charcuterie board with my friend. The olives were edible. They had a breaded coating that can be found on frozen breaded foods from your local grocery. The dipping sauce saved them. The rest of the items were plain. Nothing to praise and nothing to complain about. I was disappointed in our lemon bar dessert. It was horrible. The flavor was a dull lemon like one drop of flavoring was incorporated in it. The plate had no whipped cream or mint leaves for presentation. I was very unimpressed. Again, service was slow as the waiter said it would be right out. 10 minutes passed and we had to ask another waiter for it. Not good at all. The table next to us received 2 huge sundaes with sparklers on top. They looked so fun! The bathroom was the tinier than an airplane lavatory. Should an obese person need to use it they will not be able to fit inside. Dark and almost unusable due to it's small size and no ventilation. Could not see if the bathroom was clean but it did not smell. I give this place a 2.5 out of 5. If you are looking for a great culinary experience this is not the place for you. There is alot of room for improvement and I probably will not go back.

Our waiter was funny, personable and regularly checked on us. Moreover, they let us stay late because they had to do a big cleanup anyway. We were able to get another cocktail in.

Both were refreshing, fruity, and the perfect way to kick off the night. For appetizers, we had the Grilled Halloumi, and with this being my first time trying it, I'm incredibly upset I didn't have it sooner lol. It had the perfect grilled exterior with a salty, cheesy bite that paired amazing with the fresh cut tomatos and green salad. For entrees, we had to order the Grilled Octopus, which was cooked perfectly and served over an eggplant purée, adding a really unique flavor profile to the dish. The Lobster Pasta was rich and creamy while the grilled lobster tail added a smoky flavor that elevated the entire dish. The Baby Lamb Chops Rack were tender, flavorful, and right up my alley. We also did a side of Mashed Potatoes because honestly, they're a classic for a reason and pair really well with the Lamb Chops. To finish everything off, we had the popular Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Skillet. It was warm, gooey, and packed with flavor, but what really surprised me were the subtle hints of orange and a touch of mint that made each bite feel a little more elevated than a typical cookie skillet. If you're looking for a spot with flavorful Mediterranean-inspired dishes, plenty of grilled favorites, and desserts worth saving room for, White Olive is definitely one to add to your list

Originally opened in the 1980s in the Garment District, this is a tasty Italian spot specializing…read morein Venetian fare that has an old-school flair, even though it only opened a year ago. From the decor to the slower but very friendly service, it definitely felt more like a spot from years back. I was here with one of the many food groups I'm in, with this one not splitting dishes. We had a bit of time to kill as a few of them were late, so I perused the drink menu. I got a glass of white wine for around $18, though I'm unsure of the exact variant, outside of it being a grape I had never had before. Of what I remember, it was a light body with mild fruits and some minerality. A few others had glasses of wine otherwise. They gave us some good-quality focaccia with olive oil to begin with. I started with the Tortellini in Brodo for $16 with ricotta cheese tortellini in a capone broth. The slightly dark but clear broth was nicely flavored and felt comforting with some mild saltiness. The pasta inside had a slight pleasant chew, and paired with the broth. This was simple Italian comfort food, but tasty. Others had a daily special salad, and another person had the $22 Barbietola, a roasted beet salad which seemed large and worth the price. My main dish was from the Tradizionale Di Venezia section. This was the $38 Fegato a la Venezia, with sauteed calf liver, caramelized onions, and polenta. I have had this dish from a handful of spots, as I love calves' liver, and this was excellent, as it was perfectly cooked. The preparation was more rustic compared to the most recent version I had at Noodle Pudding in Brooklyn Heights, with the liver served in two large pieces and covered in onions. The caramelized onions added some sweetness, while the sauce, presumably made with red wine and herbs, was slightly rich. The polenta, compared to some other photos online, was served on a large side plate and was also cooked properly, lacking any grittiness, being thick and smooth. This was excellent. Another person, along with the aforementioned beet salad, enjoyed the Venetian specialties, the $22 Baccala Mantecato with cod fish and crostini. From the portion size, it looked like it could be split as an appetizer, and she enjoyed it. Another person got the $34 Tagliatelle Bolognese, two people loved the $36 Linguine Vongole, and another person got a half portion of the Cacio e Pepe to go, which was presumably $16. I was very full from my meal, so I didn't bother with dessert. Another person ordered, I believe, the Chocolate Gelato with there also being other gelato, along with sorbets. As we were a large group, and presumably since we were the first diners, the very kind staff offered us a shot of liqueur, which was very friendly. I got some Sambuca, and I believe others got Frangelico with Amaretto and something else being the other options. They also gave us some Almond Biscotti, or rather Cantucci, which was a kind gesture. If you don't mind having a longer meal, I would recommend this place. The portions were good, the food was cooked perfectly, and the service was very friendly. I hope they do well, though the crowd in the local area should help this place stay in business, even if I think they probably do better a bit further north on the UWS/UWS.
