    Turkey Meatballs and Lemon Ricotta bowl.
    Gigi S.

    Friendly staff, food was good and place looks clean. I placed an online order thinking the place would be packed at noon. I was the only one there picking up my food.

    Slow-roasted pork & shaved Brussels sprouts. The meal comes with arugula, faro, and shaved parmesan. I added a meatball and an organic soft-boiled egg. I thought the pork was very juicy and flavorful. The Brussels sprouts were also really tasty! I never had it shaved and it makes the brussels sprouts more enjoyable. The meatball was just okay, for a 2.25 extra charge I expected something more juicy and flavorful. The soft-boiled egg was pretty jammy. Overall I think it's a nicely constructed bowl. It might be too expensive for everyday lunch.

    A bit on the pricey side of lunch, but absolutely worth a visit every once in a while (even by a cheapo like me). For as long as I have worked in the FiDi, I never realized Blue Park even existed! Honestly, it's hard to find them randomly unless you take a stroll on Pine Street, or find them on Yelp ... and, even then, they blend right into the building that they are situated in. Like most of the FiDi restaurants now, they are the usual assembly-line type of takeout spot, but the ingredients are so good. There are your Signature Bowls, which are bowls with pre-determined ingredients or you can Build Your Own. Luckily, if you're on the "adventurous" side, building your own bowl isn't all that challenging, but it can feel a little overwhelming your 1st time around. My word of advice - study the menu beforehand, but sometimes you just can't resist changing it up when you show up and see the ingredients in person. Simply put, the build your own bowl consist of first selecting grains and greens, then a sauce, a dip, 2 vegetables, 1 protein and 2 toppings. And, best of all, they actually have small instructional cards on the front of the sneeze glass so you actually know what you're looking at! One caveat though is that adding a protein does add to the cost as each bowl does not include the price of a protein - womp, womp. As for the bowls, even though a bit pricey with the addition of a protein, they are PACKED and very filling. After devouring most of the food, my jaw was literally fatigued from all of the chewing because there was so much food in the bowl. As for my ingredient faves? I'm a huge couscous fan, so I'd absolutely start with that and the grilled kale. For the sauces, I've only tried a few, but, honestly, all of them are probably tasty. For the dip, go with the avocado smash, if you love avocado, which I absolutely do. For veggies, this is a tricky one because I absolutely am a fan of most of them, but I could never resist the mixed mushrooms and charred broccolini. Lastly, the toppings, not sure why the corn salsa is listed here instead of veggies, but that's a fave of mine. For a little crunch, also add the toasted chickpeas. Lastly, protein, I would say the salmon, but it's the priciest of the proteins at a whopping $4.50, but it's really delicious. If it's too steep for your wallet, go with the blackened chicken breast. Seriously, Blue Park Kitchen has always come through every time I've been. Never have I had a bad bowl. Yes, they are on the pricier side, even by FiDi standards. I'm pretty cautious on my spending for lunch (aka I'm cheap) and tend to try to keep the cost on the lower end, but they are soooo good that they definitely warrant a visit every few weeks from me.

    I'm not that familiar with the fidi district, so finding a lunch spot was tough. Blue Park Kitchen looked great, could've been great but unfortunately fell short. I got the Salmon and Charred Broccoli bowl - $14 was a little steep but expected for the area. The salmon was well made and tasty, broccoli had a nice char to it too, but both the chickpeas and farro tasted raw and undercooked (a few of my chickpeas had the texture of stone). Given this was the majority of my bowl it was a bit of a let down. All things considered, I think there are better options in the neighborhood.

    The food was delicious. Got myself a chicken bowl for dinner on a weeknight. The service was quick. Interior was nice, seems like a fast casual restaurant with plenty of people ordering takeout/delivery.

    This is one of my favorite lunch spots in downtown! Incredibly tasty and filling but doesn't leave me feeling gross or needing a nap after! The white bean hummus is particularly delicious.

    This is the single piece of potato patty that warrants 12.75$
    Meghna S.

    Rip off for vegetarians and vegans . They serve generous amount of meat protein depending on what u order; salmon, chicken, turkey meat balls for $13-$14 however when you order a vegeterian bowl, which is basically potato patties and mushrooms they significantly reduce the size of your serving. Bowl with quinoa, greens and one lame piece of potato patty and few mushrooms..Like one single piece?? Like seriously how much does one piece of mashed potato cost u guys over 3 pieces of turkey meat balls or one filet of salmon?? I ordered an extra potato patty n landed up paying $15.50 for a single bowl.. don't get me even started on the taste... the patties were bland and undercooked, you get taste of half cooked potatoes with every bite. The guy preparing my bowl was least interested in what add ons I wanted. He was itching to get done with me asap to attend the next meat eating customers. I'm saying this with conviction coz I have ordered meat bowls from this place before and have had good experiences. It's like they are intolerant to vegeterianism. What a downfall from being one of my favorite lunch places in fidi to me never wanting to visit it again.

    Rubberband in my food means they don't clean their produce properly
    Elizabeth C.

    I have ordered from this place everyday and I always knew there was an issue with cleaning their produce. I just always find branches from ingredients etc. Especially in their turkey meatballs, there are always branches in the mix. Today. I choked on a rubberband that was left next to my broccolini. I am never ordering from this place again. They don't clean their produce. They are cutting corners. This is dangerous.

    Blackened Chicken Brown Rice Carrots Cauliflower etc
    Kern C.

    Blue Park is similar to Dig inn . You pick your base , protein and veggies but there are also preselected combos available as well at a slightly better value versus a la carte. I prefer using the latter means as I'm complicated like that . Ended up with brown rice, blackened chicken, carrots some curries flavored cauliflower and various sauces that I can't remember . My meal was not bad at all . I would say though that they did too much with their seasonings . The rice for example was very saturated with what seemed like lemon juice . The sauces were good but would have preferred them on the side as a dip . The meats were cooked very well (tried the chicken and steak) but was a smaller portion than I'm used to in similar restaurants . The veggies were also good except for their kale but got lost in the complexity and non complimentary flavors of the food . I'd surmise that this restaurant is good . Figuring out the various combos and what works with what is too much work for me though versus a spot like dig inn that has simpler and less bold offerings that usually satisfies the palette . At a lower price mind you...

    BUILD YOUR OWN - veggie bowl
    Chris D.

    This is like an elevated, more expensive digg inn. My friend and I both enjoyed our meals and there was certainly plenty of choice (even for someone who doesn't eat meat, like me) to go back and have different options. All the food tasted fresh and had lots of flavor.

    Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with 2 mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but the idea of returning feels less like reclaiming an old life than dipping a toe into a world I no longer need to inhabit. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a handsome room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was polished, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

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.

    Went to Zou Zou's for a little bday celebration with gfs and had a great time. Not to mention,…read morethere was such a sweet little bday care when we got to the table. So thoughtful, and such a great touch to start the evening for us. We decided to order the family style menu and we enjoyed the whole dinner. All of the dishes on the menu were really good and great price for $74pp. I wish we had a 4th in our party so we couldve had the duck, but we'll definitely be returning to do so. The dips were so good and so fresh! I think all of the dishes were perfectly seasoned. I get sad when dishes are overly seasoned or overly salty. Oh, and im not much of a sweet tooth, but their dessert was marvelous and the sweetness was balanced so nicely.

    Came back here for dinner largely to get the cheesecake. It's certainly unique and huge - both this…read moreand the caramelized pineapple could feed 4 people each. The cheese is on the lighter side and the textural combination is nice, sort of like a baklava cheesecake but crispier and lighter. I like heavier cheesecakes though. Drinks: golden negroni was spot on, but didn't like the sangria. They had a medjool cocktail that went off the menu to my disappointment. Appetizers: the octopus carpaccio was the best and I'd order again. The tuna tartare was a little too heavy on the sauce flavor, and the golden beets were unmemorable. The yellowtail was good I think, but didn't stand out either. Mains: the duck borek has more of a sausage like meat texture. I thought it was decent but the meat being duck didn't do much and I've had better boreks in Astoria. It comes with a vegetable side that is a nice offset. I tried a friend's lamb chops and this was really good with the cooked cherries.
