    Froze
    Leenzie B.

    I went here a few weeks ago with my friends for dinner. We had the Froze, Passion Fruit Margarita, Buffalo Wings, Beef Sliders, World Cup Jollof Rice & Chicken. The food was great, the survive was cool, and the ambiance was fancy but laid back

    The goat soup was sooooo spicy but very good if you like your mouth on fire. The peri peri chicken was not my favorite. A bit dry and the lemon pepper flavor wasn't really coming thru. Service was good. No complaints. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The noise level wasn't too bad considering it's right by Times Square.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Didn't like sitting next to people smoking hookah though. They should have separate smoking and non smoking sections.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I'm went to Lagos TSQ on a recommendation from a friend and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was beautiful, the music was good, and the food was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I sat at the bar and ordered a drink along with jollof rice with chicken and my meal didn't disappoint. The restaurant is right by Times Square and easy to get to which is a plus. There was also security at the door which made the establishment feel secure. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for something good and different to eat while sightseeing in NYC!

    The food is full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I love that they use lots of spices to enhance their dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was very loud and made it difficult to have conversations due to loud music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would visit this restaurant again for the good food, but perhaps at a different time of the day, hoping the music will not give nightclub vibes.

    I came here to celebrate the union of my two friends. We were part of a private dinner party. I was not thrilled by the service - felt they could've had more servers to assist but instead it was one lady managing a crowd. The drinks were good but everything was slow. Even a glass of water. I was also disappointed in the Lagos pasta... the meat was a chicken thigh. Just plopped on top and not much pasta sauce. The lamb was tasty though.

    I went to Lagos last night. I made reservations although they do accept walkins. This restaurant exceeded my expectations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This spot was stunning. It has two levels.I love the decor, it was so luxurious and charming. I love the soft cushion chairs with gold trimming and the gold silverware was stunning[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. It had one of the biggest bars with 5 to 6 large tvs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lighting set the mood capturing the beauty and essence of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The serve was amazing. From the time I walked in the hosts were warm and friendly. My friend and I choose to sit downstairs. As I sat I was at awe and blown away by the beauty of the restaurant. Our waitress Rawan was fantastic. She was sweet, friendly and really knew the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We ordered two Lychee Martinis from the happy hour menu. The Lychee Martini had house vodka, lychee puree, cream of coconut and elder flower liqueur. In addition to the drinks, I also ordered the beef sliders from the happy hour menu too. The beef sliders came with american cheese, sauteed onions and spicy mayo. The sliders were so delicious. From the caramelized onions and the perfectly cooked burger on a sweet roll and the cheese was just another touch added to the burger. Who doesn't like a slider with cheese. Some of the best beef sliders I have ever had. The first bit was amazing that I wanted to savor every bit. My friend ordered another Lychee Martini while I ordered Lekki Margarita with Coconut flavor. Rawan our waitress, recommended this drink and I see why. It was a decadent, rich and balanced Martini with Tamarind on the rim. So good I ordered another one and my friend joined me too. We were in love with the drinks. We did ordered more food. I ordered Mac and cheese with crab meat and BBQ wings. The Mac and cheese came in a cast iron pan. That Mac and cheese was cheesy and flavorful. It was cooked perfectly. The wings were good too. My friend ordered Jollof Rice, slow cooked one-pot rice, tomatoes, red bell pepper, scotch bonnet and ginger with Goat meat. The Goat meat was nice and tender. The Jollof Rice was full of bold, spicy, tasteful flavor. She also ordered Calamari which came with red stew aioli, spicy mayo. This restaurant hands down capture the Caribbean but most of all the African favors and spices. I was very impressed with the presentation and execution of the dishes. The managers checked in to make sure how everything was. Overall, the staff was terrific. This restaurant by far has some of the best African food I ever had. I will definitely be back.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience: 10/10. Music was on point. They had a live DJ who played all the right songs. Very entertaining with the oldies and new songs as well. A lot of places to take pictures. Cute flowery walls and great lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: was good. At first we were waiting for a server but eventually we got one, Anthony, who was really attentive. Food: Food was okay. I wish It had more of an authentic taste but it got the job done nonetheless. I definitely didnt leave hungry so kudos to them!

    The photog was basically a backpack on my co-worker's back  no apologies either.

    I went to this place for a birthday celebration and/or it was SUPER busy. So many birthdays and other events happening simultaneously. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is beautiful, the décor the high ceilings and even the open French doors in to Times Square, great for ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I saw different platters coming out in folk's food. Looking more American than African, so I've decided to go with an appetizer and azobel. The Zobo was absolutely delicious. Tropically fruity, heavily gingered and very much so Naija style. The fries were warm & basic with the little suya seasoning. My friend had a burger with an oddly pale bun that he said tasted like a sweet dinner roll. Maybe it's a special type. Meh... solid 3. Service is where things get a wonky. 20% gratuity is automatically added to your bill, so it seems there is no incentive for personable or prompt service. Waiting 35 minutes for water, an additional 30 for non-alcoholic bevs and 35 more minutes on top of that for... a burger, fries, and plantains is wild. The contradicting statements, menus & prices were off putting, resulting in half our party canceling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be prepared to yell the entire time with the music blasting on the top floor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ended up at the bar to continue our celebration in a less intense setting. Thankfully it was less of a nightclub sound system.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was nursing a headache the next day.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A vibe and they allowed us to order happy hour at the very last minute[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] on the other hand our server was a little odd. The food was so delicious 10/10 pricey but that's New York for you! :)

    The food and drinks here are fantastic! The African beer and the froze were wonderful and was great on a hot day. We ordered the red snapper with peri peri sauce and the jollof rice with fish. We also ordered the snails. The snails were very unique and delicious, they were amazing. The jollof rice was excellent and paired wonderfully with the accompanying sauce and fried fish. The red snapper with peri peri was incredible and is enough for two people if you order an appetizer. Overall 10/10 incredible food!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went to the website and saw that this place had a strict dress code, no sports wear or sneakers, etc only to find people dressed veryyy casual here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would have gladly swapped my heels for my Jordans, especially with how long we had to wait standing by the bar before we were seated upstairs. I didn't have much to eat here and didn't get a drink. I will say that I enjoyed the calamari, and the wings. The platter offered a bunch of diff wing flavors- the jerk was my fav. The fries were cool too. Although the Jollof rice seemed to be a hit, l personally wasn't a fan. The Smokey flavor didn't hit right for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you are looking for a club type of vibe with loud music, hookah and decent food this is your spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can't say whether or not l'll come back. If I was invited, sure... but I don't think it's a place I'm highly anticipating coming back too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Personally, not quite my scene anymore when I'm looking to have dinner. A party...maybe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I came here for an early dinner with a party of 4 on a Saturday. I was put off by the amount of security at the front door; ID checks I get. But why is there facial recognition technology being used, and without warning? Not exactly a "warm" welcome. We ended up having to wait for the 4th person before we were seated, so keep that in mind when you're making plans with that friend who's always late! We ordered the Asun and Suya to start. Both were very good but the Asun was my favorite; such a tasty dish and the spices were perfect. For the main, I shared the Roasted Red Snapper and Lagos Salad with someone, and also had the Yam Fries and plantains on the side. Everything was very good. I especially liked the stew that came with the yam. I tasted the Lagos Fried rice and that was also very good. The spice level is perfect for anyone who likes spicy food; enough for you to feel it but not too much where you can't enjoy it. A word about the atmosphere: this is definitely a turn-up/party spot. They had 2 djs spinning and even had dancers and photographers coming around. They also offered us hookah. It was too loud for our tastes, but we are older and were really looking forward to catching up with each other. We ended up shouting the whole time. Once we had a drink it didn't bother us too much, though lol. This would be a great spot to enjoy a celebration or to grab food before going out to a party/club. It's on the pricier side (the cocktail I ordered was $22!),but that is to be expected in Tims Square. The service was decent. All in all, I had a good time and the food is excellent. I just wouldn't come here for a romantic dinner or to catchup with an old friend.

    This was our first time trying Nigerian food. The drinks were strong & the food was so delicious. Babbyy they left no spices behind. So goodt! The music & decor truly elevated our dining experience. The photographer did a great job capturing the moment. Lagos was a Good Friday night vibe. I was also blown away by the exceptional service provided by our server, Princess. From the moment we were seated, Princess greeted us with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience.

    Walked in on a Wednesday night around 8pm and my friend and I were seated almost immediately. We…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the new Aegean menu, which featured drinks inspired by countries by the Mediterranean Sea. It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

    I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. It's my favorite speakeasy in the city by far…read more The drinks are absolutely phenomenal. They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

    I stopped by Clemente Bar with a friend who was staying at a nearby hotel. I had never been to…read moreEleven Madison Park before and wanted to check it out, not realizing at first that Clemente Bar is a separate concept from the restaurant. We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
