I usually stay at the Arlo when I'm in Manhattan. One of my quick bites is @ Lindens. My go to is the Hamachi Crudo! (Great pairing with the Pita Bread). The staff at all the three drinking/eating establishments within the Hotel are wonderful.

Shoestring French Fries

The food here was surprisingly REALLY good! My fave was the Honeynut Squash Ravioli, the flavors really ooze out of the ravioli and the butter ties it all together. It's a nice spot, kind of dark, but good for a girls night or date night. Our server was super friendly and even offered us a free pear creme brulee since our cookies were taking longer than expected! Would def come back for the pasta again.

Had a really great experience at Lindens in the Arlo SoHo during happy hour. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and made really good recommendations. The happy hour oysters were only $1.50 each and super fresh easily one of the best deals I've found in the area. The space itself has a really nice atmosphere and feels like a great spot to relax after work or meet friends for drinks and a few bites. Between the service, the quality of the food, and the value during happy hour, I'd definitely come back again.

Decided to come to Lindens after some research and great pulsed deal. This was place is pretty far in the west side and has two entrances based off of you go through the hotel or their actual entrance. The place has a few tables busy but nothing over whelming at the time. Was able to sit promptly and was serviced attentively throughout the entire meal. The food and drinks were good, nothing out the norm but did the job on for a Saturday brunch.

Herb Salad
Hayden S.

This place was surprisingly good!! Was looking for a spot to meet friends after work and we came here for happy hour but loved all the food. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Staff was so fun and friendly!

Anna S.

Overall, the food was decent, but nothing particularly impressive. That said, the steak main course wasn't my favourite, as neither the steak nor the side dishes were seasoned quite right. All the other dishes were probably far better than this main course. The non-alcoholic cocktails were alright, but nothing to write home about.

Bacon egg and cheese
Jessica G.

Pricy but worth it. The size of the sandwiches are hugeee. The service was nice and attentive.

Emily F.

Really yummy food and good service for my 3rd time here! The margarita was good too, it honestly could have been even spicier.

I have been to the restaurant. About four different times now. Each time has only been a great experience. The staff is incredibly helpful with recommendations about items on the menu and well versed on them. The restaurant can be either a bit quiet or loud. Depending on the crowd. That's there. But there's always kind of relaxing music in the background. The food is absolutely delicious. I would call it mostly American with a twist. I would definitely recommend for anyone's to check this place out.

Thyme Parker House Rolls, Shoestring French Fries, peach
Rose H.

The best rolls I've ever had in my life. I still think about these bread rolls. The food was amazing (although burgers took a while to come out) and the staff is really accommodating. I didn't like one of my drinks so they returned it and gave me a new one without hesitation. It felt like everyone catered to us which was very sweet and the place is just so open and spacious. Great vibes all around!

Summer carrot ravioli & freshly baked loaf with herb butter
Dana S.

I had such an incredible experience at Lindens! Fran, the bartender/mixologist, was absolutely amazing -- so patient and thoughtful in helping me choose a drink. I went with the Shishito Julep, and it was perfect. The food was out of this world. The sausage breakfast sandwich, citrus salad, and summer carrot ravioli were all phenomenal -- the ravioli especially was the perfect balance of savory, herby, buttery, silken goodness with that touch of pancetta. And you must try the fresh-baked bread loaf with herb butter... it's heavenly. The vibe here is just as great as the food: farm-to-table freshness, a warm atmosphere, and staff that feel friendly in a way that's almost familiar, like you've known them forever. Can't wait to come back.

Teresa S.

The guy who greeted us wasn't sure when we would be able to get seated. So we checked out the drink menu in the waiting area. Then he comes back and says he will seat us right away. That was fantastic of him! We had some good drinks....I believe mine was the strawberry old fashioned. I normally don't like strawberry drinks but this was so delicious! The hangar steak was also wonderful! The place was lovely. I wish it had not been raining because the outside patio looked so inviting! Would definitely eat here again if in NYC!

Carmine B.

We normally do not frequent hotel restaurants as the menu is either limited or not of top quality. This is NOT the case for Lindens. A must go for atmosphere, service, and quality. Whether a date, a business meeting or a large group fun-time out, this place is recommended. It's not on a main street and out of the way from other business....hidden on a side street.

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 two 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 a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, 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.

The truffle monkey bread while a total carb and calorie bomb was delicious and left a lasting…read moreimpression. 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.

It can be hard to get a reservation here, but it opens 7 days ahead of time on OpenTable at 9am so definitely plan ahead if you want a reservation. For apps, we tried the Amberjack Crudo, the stuffed garlic flatbread, and the chrysanthemum salad. All three were delicious and I'd highly recommend trying them all. The flatbread had a cheesy texture while being super crispy similar to a Chinese scallion pancake. The chrysanthemum salad had a nice texture and was super refreshing. For entrees, we had the buffalo milk caramelle, gnocchi, sourdough pasta, steak Al Limone, and the lasagna. The caramelle portion was small but it had a nice sweet taste to it. The lasagna is the star as it comes with 6 large pinwheels and is served with garlic bread on the side! The sourdough pasta was also tasty along with the lemon sauce steak. For sides, I recommend getting the Japanese sweet potato's. They are super sweet and crunchy and was definitely the unexpected star of the food we tried! For dessert, the tiramisu is delicious but our group really loved the mochi!

Definitely suggest taking it home and then reheating it for the next day. It is a lot of food and the tomato sauce was nice and tangy. Only Wish there was more tomato sauce and for the lasagna to be served hotter. It came out warm but i wanted it like lava Bread was good just needed to be seasoned

We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich. I have no clue when we'll be back in Midtown, but one thing's for sure- we're sitting with Josiah again.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables.

I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor.

The yellowtail was good I think, but didn't stand out either. Mains: the duck borek has more of a sausage like meat texture.
