Steak Frites. $24. Spice rubbed black angus, hand cut fries, chimichurri. Excellent. A bit spicy oddly for a chimi but really tasty
Glenn C.

Short review/rant- If you're going to be slow refilling water which isn't cold to begin with as there's no ice, I expect the drinks to be at least be decent. Excellent steak frites though. Anyway, have you ever gone to a restaurant where you liked or loved the food but everything else dampened the experience so much that you would likely never go back? That was my group's experience at this funky little place a week ago or so. Our group of four stopped in here to try their steak frites as it's $24 which sounded like a steal and it is. We had a reservation and we were originally sat in a tiny corner that probably had enough space for three at the most with probably enough room for two plates but luckily, another table opened. We asked our waitress to move over and they checked with the manager and thankfully, we were moved over. We brought over our waters and when the last person arrived, she asked for water and it took a good 20 minutes and asking other staff to get it along with her utensils. I don't expect the best service from a dive bar but there's the bare minimum and this was beyond that. Eventually someone else who I think was managing or at least running at least part of the restaurant became our waiter and it went a lot better. To drink, I had ordered with the original waitress a Watermelon Margarita which was $12 which is reasonable...in theory. She didn't ask about the rim which is odd as it lists with either spicy/salt or both but it arrived eventually in a Bud Light beer glass. I find this odd as every other person's margarita I've seen in all the photos and also on other tables was in a different type of glass but whatever. I tried it and it was horrible and honestly probably the worst margarita I've ever had in my life. I tasted mostly tequila and some type of terrible mix along with a faint sweetness from the watermelon. I would have complained but it was hot and at least it was refreshing once I dumped some water in it to dilute the terrible taste. Our group of four each ordered the FMN Steak Frites $24 with spice rubbed black angus steak, hand cut fries, and chimichurri with three of us ordering medium rare and one person ordering I think medium well. My plate arrived fine along with the other person who ordered it medium well while the other two people's steaks were cooked to well done. They sent it back and it became a bit awkward eating said steaks while waiting for their steaks to be done but eventually, theirs came out properly thankfully. All serving and kitchen issues aside, the steak was great. I am 90% sure it's skirt steak (though it could be hanger) and the portion size was very decent being I believe 10 oz or so and it came with a generous amount of fries. The steak had a bit of chew but not too much with the quality of the meat being nice. The fries were decent as well with the only potential complaint being that they could have been a bit more crispy but that was very likely from the varying degrees of thickness so there really isn't any complaints for them with the slight lack of saltiness fixed by the chimichurri. Said chimichurri was a little bit different than normal being a bit spicier along with the usual heavy garlic flavor along with olive oil and the rest but this was appreciated. All and all, it was excellent. If there were no service/kitchen issues and if I didn't order the margarita, I would have given this place 5 stars easily as the steak frites were well flavored, seasoned, cooked nicely, and it was very reasonable for the price point. However, it would be hard to persuade me to come back here even though I definitely would want to try the steak sandwich or order said steak again. 3

Travis bowl
Shelley L.

This place is always popping whenever I pass by. They were one of the few open early and on Christmas so we decided to check it out. Definitely a dive bar feel. Dim and dark. Not sure how the kids would feel but they had fun. The food was surprisingly good! Travis bowl - what a great healthy option. The blend of cous cous, arugula, egg and topped with grilled chicken ($$ extra) made it a really worthy meal. I liked that it came with dressing and hummus Avocado toast, chips and guac, and tuna salad - both dishes were happily wolfed down. Great portion and reasonable prices. Everything was great and service was friendly and kind. Great spot for brunch!

Niko's Cheese Cake

Such a cool vibe in here. Upon walking in, you would immediately assume average bar food, but don't be mistaken this place is miles ahead of that. People who work there are awesome, people eating in there are trendy and super cool. This place definitely attracts a great crowd. I ordered the steak sandwich, and it might've been the best steak sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. Everything about it was delicious. Got the cheesecake for dessert. Wonderful. Need to go back.

Travis Bowl (takeout)

Owned by the same group behind the nearby Kiki's (which I love), Forgtmenot has been on my list for a while. Though I haven't actually gotten to dine in here yet, I did recently order a Travis bowl for takeout. I forgot to specify a dip when ordering, so I didn't get any of the jalapeño yogurt, but definitely will next time. I dressed it at home with some vinaigrette and it was still really good!

Goose island IPA

Great service from a friendly bartender named Angelie. This is my second time here and the vibe is just as good as my last visit!! Surf bar feel to this place; I feel like I'm in Florida with the decor and hospitality. I will be here soon to try the food. Gianni, the Greek Mf'r is the MAN!!!! Tell them Chris aka Dave and Ben from across the street sent ya!!!

I forgot to take a photo until the end...

The place seems like a dive bar with intimate seating for food as well. Dress is definitely casual. Service for a moderately filled place is relatively quick. Despite the price ($), the quality of food continues to impress. The steak in the steak with fries was cooked to the intended degree. Also, the waiter's recommendation to have the chorizo tacos either chipotle mayo sauce was on point. Will be returning to this neighborhood place for some good affordable food and drinks!

Came in on a Sunday morning and got some drinks lol. It's a cute grunge bar and a local favorite. Lots of Europeans were coming in to watch the soccer game, and it was the perfect spot. It felt homey, it was indoor-outdoor; it even had seating out back. Drinks were reasonably priced! Staff was super friendly. I'd return and recommend!

We met up for happy hour at Grove Street Social with friends--one who has lived in the West Village…read morefor over a decade and another visiting from Pennsylvania. It ended up being a nice spot for a casual catch-up, though with a few mixed impressions. The space itself is cute and very much feels like a neighborhood bar. One of the things we liked most was that they have games available--we ended up playing Scrabble while waiting for our friend to arrive, which made the time go by quickly and added to the relaxed vibe. 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.

There are some pros and cons about this place, but it was pretty neat overall!…read more Came here with friends (group of 4) on a Saturday night, so we paid the $10 cover. Which is fine in my opinion because they have live jazz and I love that. I also love a bar with an activity outside of just drinking. Some pros: so many games and pool tables and live jazz and decent beer Some cons: not many seats, long waits for the pool/ping pong/foosball tables on a weekend, loud (not a place to get to know someone I'd say) Overall it's definitely ~cool~. The crowd looked to be a lot of NYU students/20somethjngs in tech or whatever living their best city life. Not the vibe for all, but definitely the vibe for some.

Pretty cool and genuinely unique spot, different from most places in the city. The whole concept is…read morebuilt around keeping your hands busy: pool tables, ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, chess, checkers, even some old-school arcade cabinets scattered through a sprawling underground space. It's actually a legacy spot in disguise. This basement used to house Fat Cat, a longtime West Village institution that shut down right before the pandemic, and before that the room itself was a bowling alley, tucked into a 1932 Art Deco building a few steps from Stonewall. Drink selection isn't the draw here, don't come expecting a deep cocktail list. Crowd skews heavily undergrad, and the place is loud, so it's not the spot for an intimate one-on-one or a real group conversation. It's built for a different kind of hang: elbow your way to a table, keep your hands busy, let the noise do the rest. There's also live jazz most nights, which adds a nice layer if you catch it at the right time. Neat place, just know what you're walking into.

As for food, there were some true hits but most of the food was good but basic. The highlights for me were the wild mushrooms & rice cakes as well as the Caesar salad - loved the use of nori in the salad and would definitely come back for the mushrooms. The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.
