    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Shilpa M.

    I've come here for brunch and lunch. They were able to seat a group of 25 of us at the door without a reservation. This time I went for my birthday dinner with 9 of us. It was a last minute reservation. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves on a Friday night at 8pm prime time, when people are lining up or cramped at other restaurants. The music was soft enough that we had a great time talking and catching up. I wasn't sure what to expect from the dinner menu, and was expecting your typical hotel fare - not terrible, not great. But everything was delicious! For apps: small portions to share. Beets salad, chicken, hummus. Pita had good flavoring. Entrees: Salmon & Branzino were amazing. Cute they served Farro with faroe island salmon. Branzino was a bit spicy. Beans were delicious. Shrimp tacos & burgers were good. Then they provided a whole cake for my birthday, that my sister negotiated down 50% off. All entrees were $17-$35. Pretty reasonable. Cocktails are $16. Wines are $15. Beers $10. Staff was very nice and didn't rush us to order or leave. Let us hang out as long as we wanted. Next time I'll have to book a party or something.

    Came on a Wednesday at noon with a reservation for four people. The restaurant is very spacious and great for large groups. However, service was slow when the place wasn't too busy, it took about 25 minutes for three burgers and a fish dish. I got the branzino which included pancetta, cannellini beans, baby spinach, and salsa verde. Everything was flavorful and the fish was cooked perfectly crispy skin/flaky meat. The lemon added a hint of acidity and gave the dish a fresh/light taste.

    Anyone for a gelatinous cube of cream cheese?

    After the second time the kitchen got the order wrong, I didn't bother sending it back again. Globalists should have a better option, but that's Hyatt these days.

    Steak frites, chimichurri on the side (I understand it normally comes *on* the steak.)

    I had a ticket to see a 9:00 p.m. showing of Titanique at the Daryl Roth Theatre, so I scouted out restaurants nearby. I had no idea Bowery Road was "a hotel restaurant" until I came here to leave a review and read the other reviews! My meal was excellent, and my server (Chelsea) was attentive and professional. I had looked up the menu before visiting and decided to start with the salmon crispy rice and then figure it out from there. Chelsea was gracious and flexible to accommodate my vague plan for my meal. The salmon crispy rice was delicious -- the simple ingredients were fresh and delicate and high-quality and expertly prepared, and I loved every bite. Once I finished up the salmon appetizer, it was time to figure out next steps, and the steak frites called to me. And I'm so glad it did! The steak was cooked to a perfect (for me) medium rare, and it was just outstanding! The fries could have used a little something (a little extra salt or other seasoning), so I dipped them in the chimichurri. (Before ordering, I had asked Chelsea if the chimichurri is served on the steak and learned that it was, so I asked for it on the side, but I lovelovelove chimichurri so I ordered *extra* but on the side, haha.) Anyway, the steak was so good, I told friends that I didn't want to swallow each bite because that meant I would stop tasting the deliciousness! A word on the ambiance: This place felt like it was designed specifically for me. It was lively but quiet, super comfortable and laidback, with friendly staff and a music playlist that I wouldn't have thought to put together but was cool and low-key. I sat facing the window to 4th Avenue, and the door to the restaurant's outdoor seating was open, so I had easy access for watching people and their dogs who walked by. I'm from Indianapolis, so I won't be back all that frequently, but if I have tickets to a show downtown or am downtown for any other reason, Bowery Road will 100% be on my list of places to return to.

    Make reservations! This place gets busy during rush hour. The atmosphere was perfect--dim lighting, relaxed, soft background music, classy décor, spacious seating arrangements. A huge bar. This restaurant is great for any occasion--date, family/friends outing, business meal, solo indulgence. The service was lacking. Our server was polite, yet he clearly couldn't have cared less. When asked for menu recommendations, he did not seem knowledgeable of the dishes, and just said "everything on the menu is good, everything is popular". Obviously! Why would we ask for your expert opinion? Had to wait who knows how long for him to take our order, while he was idly chatting at the bar, a few steps away from our table, not even glancing in our direction to check up on how were doing. Did not check in with us throughout our meal. And the restaurant was empty, so it's not like the staff were overwhelmed with work! The food menu is small and changes seasonally. $16 tuna tartare appetizer was a major disappointment. The chips were stale. There was barely any tuna on the plate, and it tasted tough and old. Definitely skip this "popular seller" on the menu. $20 burger was the saving grace of our meal. Get your meat done medium, so it's still juicy. Thoroughly enjoyed our burgers, which were well seasoned and tasty. Big portion too. The side of fries were crispy, yet delicate on the inside, and most importantly, not greasy. The only downside of the burger and fries was that they were on the salty side. Prepare to feel dehydrated and drink tons of water after your meal. Was surprised how unclean the bathroom stalls were. This restaurant is located in a hotel and the hotel's fitness studio is located right next to the restrooms, on the ground floor, below the main restaurant level, so you would expect the hotel staff to take care of their facilities. Also, the restroom is unisex, so anyone can use the stalls in the shared space, which might seem a bit unorthodox for some visitors.

    I stopped in here on a whim from one spot to another. This is a hotel restaurant with a simple menu, but most everything I had was good. It was brunch, so I had the grass-fed skirt steak and eggs, which also came with breakfast potatoes. The steak, which I ordered medium, was seared just right and perfect inside. Salsa verde added flavor. Plenty of seasoning. The eggs were easy over and a wonderful, runny compliment to the rest of the dish. And the potatoes were crispy and also seasoned--nothing bland here! Expect the Bloody Mary. It was terrible and thin and a bummer of a drink. But the citrus margarita was refreshing and I had two of those. This menu has some basic salads, sandwiches, and a elementary wine list. Without tip, my big entree and three drinks were about 75 dollars. Everyone was pretty attentive and seemed to work together, and it wasn't crowded. Nice Sunday morning on the lower east side.

    $17 garden salad. $12 more if you want chicken. Whhhhhhhaaaaaaaa!

    Meh. Went for lunch, and was underwhelmed. First off if you're gonna charge $20 or more for a main plate it better be better than the $6 Gyro on 8th street and 3rd. BTW that's a high bar as far as I'm concerned as I am a big fan of street meat. Anyway, it wasn't. The presentation meh. The food meh. The service meh. The prices waaaaaaaayyyyy to high for what you get, and the atmosphere meh. So meh meh mehhy meh. It wasn't bad; it just wasn't worth it. Not going back, but will go to the gyro guy on St. Marks and 3rd.

    I came on a Friday afternoon around 12pm with 1 friend and we didn't have reservations, but there was no wait. The restaurant is quite spacious and has a rustic charm - I love the aesthetics inside. They also have outdoor seating, which would be very nice when it's warmer, but we sat inside. Price point here is pretty affordable compared to some other brunch spots in the area and they have a selection of items on their menu with ability to adjust for dietary reasons. The staff were very attentive and provided amazing service for us. Special shoutout to Mayte, Oscar, Shely and Chef Fransico who made our experience here unforgettable! I will definitely be returning and spreading the word. Their next door bar is also a great place for drinks and has amazing vibes.

    Brioche French Toast and Grass Fed Skirt Steak
    Christian P.

    We came here for brunch and it was amazing! We got the steak and eggs and the brioche French toast. Both items far exceeded our expectations. The steak was juicy and tender, the potatoes were surprisingly good, and the French toast had the perfect sweetness and texture. Service was also very good, everyone was very accommodating and quick. The vibe is very upscale but casual at the same time. 10/10!

    A good meal if you're in the area. The room is spacious, located on first floor of a hotel. The cocktails were surprisingly good. The entrees were tasty and the service was attentive. We might return if we're in the area, but nothing stood out.

    We came at a down time around midday for the restaurant week deal. The ambiance was really nice and neat with an attractive theme to the restaurant. I loved the wood and metal theme with warm lighting. The food was good but nothing spectacular, it seemed that a few things were not top of the line for a place that is 3 $$$ on google so thankfully the restaurant week deal made it seem more appropriate. The crispy chicken for example wasn't crispy as with the side fries, the tortilla for the tacos also seemed mediocre. Service was solid. If I were to ever go back it would be for the atmosphere.

    Avocado mash, crackers, chicken breast and kale salad
    Kristie C.

    Delicious food, restaurant is attached to Hyatt Union square. Ordered both takeaway dinner and breakfast, a little on the pricier side but relatively standard - kale salad w/chicken (yay): would recommend! Baby kale, fresh vinaigrette and chicken breast add on was tender, moist and flavorful - avocado appetizer (ok): lemony avocado mash, served with thick crackers that weren't very crunch. Nothing super special - Bfast DIY omelette: served with salad, egg whites with oyster mushrooms and super chewy bread Super friendly service, would recommend!

    I wanted to like Bowery Road. I really did, especially with its glowing reviews. But I found myself feeling like it was an overwhelmingly average experience and not worth the price tag. Here is what you need to know about Bowery Road: 1. It's attached to a hotel and in a super convenient location. The vibes are typical dark and trendy with New American fare. 2. The menu may be on the expansive side but the food is overwhelmingly boring. I tried to see out any strong flavor yet found myself bored. The pasta was okay and the burger was significantly less flavorful and delicious than I expected. Especially for the price. 3. Bowery Road is on the more expensive side of casual restaurants so be prepared. 4. The staff is nice and service is fairly consistent. I wouldn't recommend Bowery Road to anyone seeking a standout experience, particularly for the price point. If you're paying this much, you may as well head to a higher end restaurant for a better food experience.

Happy hour prices are solid, and the fried pickles we shared were decent. I also had a watermelon cocktail that was refreshing and perfectly fine, if not particularly memorable. Service was a bit inconsistent. The bartender wasn't very warm or welcoming to us initially, though that changed once our friend--who is a regular--arrived. Overall, it's a comfortable spot to meet friends and hang out for a few hours, especially on a weekday like Thursday. That said, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, but I can see why it works well as a local neighborhood hang.

Not too crowded, the wait for a pool table was about 30 minutes, enough for a quick round of shuffleboarding. The games are relatively cheap, and there's so much variety, ping pong and board games. The live jazz is really what sets this place apart from the other pool halls, starting around 7 pm with what seems like maybe the house band and I think they have guests later in the night.

Started upstairs at Guzzle, where the vibe feels like an old-school NYC saloon got a Japanese upgrade. First up: the Mochi French Fry--crispy outside, chewy and dense inside, basically a giant luxury cheese puff that had me questioning why regular fries even exist. Then came the heavyweight champion: the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Sando. Thick-cut Wagyu, toasted milk bread, 2-year aged cheddar, katsu sauce, and house-made pickles. Rich, buttery, decadent and literally melting in my mouth. The tart pickles were working overtime like the defensive line trying to stop all that Wagyu fat. Washed it down with the refreshing Yuzu Mugirita--shochu, yuzu, shiso and plum salt--and finished upstairs with their insanely thick and creamy Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve. Listen... this isn't ice cream. This is dairy operating at a higher level. Then it was time to head downstairs to Sip, a dark, intimate lounge inspired by a Japanese naval ship where the cocktails get seriously creative. Ordered the legendary Electric Chicken--extra-crispy, heavily seasoned fried chicken served with rubber gloves and scissors. Yes, gloves AND scissors. Apparently eating chicken normally was too easy.

Based on the quality, the prices are high, even for the neighborhood.
