    Masa fries
    Anna L.

    Upscale Mexican restaurant with a nice date night vibe. They get busy so be sure to make a reservation. The restaurant has two levels and a bar. There is a mandatory free coat check. Food was ok. The gucamole was delicious as was the complimentary chips and salsa. Wasn't a fan of the masa fries nor the pina colada. I the had the duck carnitas. The duck is a bone in leg. The leg was soft and tender but I expected more flavor. It's a dish for two. It was just ok. It comes with tortillas and a side of rice with corn. The fresh corn was my favorite.

    Steak tacos

    Came here with my coworkers for a holiday lunch, and the décor was on point--it definitely put us in the holiday spirit. The drinks were delicious and refreshing. Service, however, was slow considering the restaurant wasn't crowded. The real standout was the chips and salsa with guacamole. Easily some of the best guacamole I've ever had, and the salsa had a perfect kick--they should honestly bottle it. I filled up on chips and salsa, so I wasn't super hungry and went with the steak tacos. Unfortunately, they were pretty lackluster and came with a side salad with no substitutions allowed. My coworkers enjoyed their entrées, but for me? I'll just come back for the chips, salsa, and guac.

    Per ushhhhhh

    Been wanting to come here since I love Valerie next door. Similar vibes decor wise with a twist. A little smaller. Service was good. My friend had many allergies and they were good at accommodating. The stand out for me was the guac , chips and salsa ( it had like a smoked taste and the guac was fresh! I had the avocado toast. Good but for me personally a little too goopy. I would come back to sit at bar and have a drink with guac and chips.

    Lolita has a great vibe and pretty nice drinks. Also has an extensive tequila menu. Upscale Mexican food with music and great atmosphere. As someone who struggles with Mexican food in the city, this unfortunately did not help the case. They had an amazing queso that was the best thing I had. Also ordered the birria tacos and battered fish tacos. The queso took the day. Service is pretty good but nothing special on the two tacos I tried.

    Pretty tight ambiance when comparing it to the Boston location but friendly staff. Drinks and Food were just ok to my liking.

    Burrito w/guac on side.

    Stopped in for lunch during a visit. Ambience 10/10 its beautiful, plush, vibrant. So cute. Drinks were good, food just okay. Chicken flautas 3/5 (no cheese, crema on side, due to friends dairy intolerance)- nice crunch, good amount of filling. Lacked flavor. Birria tacos 3.5 lacked flavor, I'm missing the boldness of the peppers/ spice. The consumne was just like a light generic beef broth. Cooked well and good amount of filling, they don't skimp on meat. Rice & beans - 2/5- rice or nice and fluffy + enjoyed the addition of corn. But overall lacked flavor. Brisket burrito -4.5 Drinks - like that they make syrups in house Lolita marg -5/5 don't let the carcao fool you its not the blue syrupy stuff You get in bars. Lolita salt rim is sooo good and brings it together and made it a five star rating. Paloma- 3/5 Ky/Kai provided great service. Very knowledgeable of the menu, helpful with suggestions and accommodating options that didn't include dairy. Recommend stopping for a happy hour if That's a thing. Food is not worth paying full price which is really tough to say because they service, ambiance/music made me want to love it so bad. Personally I'd only return for drinks and maybe chips/dip.

    We came here on a Friday night after seeing a show. The hostess was friendly, and the atmosphere was chill. We were sat in the corner of the restaurant, with little ventilation so it did get a little hot. The food tasted good, but just like every other nyc restaurant, a little over priced. Overall, we enjoyed our time here.

    First & foremost, the bartender Chris was great & very patient with my one too many questions about the extensive drinks menu. I decided to try something new & opted for the pico de gallo vesper. I actually loved it despite it being quite different from my usual go-to's for drinks. It is definitely a slow slip though ie very strong. I also shared the pollo tinga tacos with my friend which were quite good. This place is pricey but it is gorgeous & is in a super touristy area as well. I'd 100% go back- maybe for their weekend brunch!

    Came here during the week night. My friend suggested to meet at this place. It's an upscale trendy Mexican restaurant. Sat at the bar, got a couple cocktails, golden hue ($19) and spicy margarita ($19), very tasty. Started off with guacamole which was solid ($18). And for the main, got taco Al pastor ($22), which came in 3. Pretty pricey but it's NYC so yea.. still tasty. I would recommend this place for a nice date spot.

    Decent dinner here. Took my mom with me. First time eating here. Space is nice and lots of seating available. Menu was small but had a little of everything. Little over priced imo. Drink was average. Staff could improve with being nicer. I called the server over to ask a question and they seemed very annoyed - although the restaurant was empty at 4PM. Overall decent meal - but I'd go elsewhere where next time for a more welcoming environment

    Chips and guac/salsa: $18  Suadero (brisket) Tacos: arbol salsa, onion, cilantro   Ahi Tuna Tostada: guac, cherry tomato, salsa macha $24

    My sister and I sat upstairs at the bar -- we were there for a quick happy hour and bites before a 7pm show. This is owned by the same folks who own Valerie (next door) and Madame George (two doors down). The layout/vibe is the same and if you like the cocktails in one, you'll like the cocktails in all :) The cocktails were SO interesting, i really couldn't decide which one to get but ended up deciding on "Las Mineras" - it was like a smoky (from the mezcal) salty corn water. Amazing. It had: mal bien white tape mezcal, fino sherry, elote liqueur, clarified enchilada water Then we shared chips and guac, ahi tuna tostadas, and the suadero (brisket) tacos. Everything was fantastic. Service was great. Beautiful decor!

    Came for a late dinner around 8:30pm on a Saturday night. Place was fairly busy. I made a reservation ahead of time and they were pretty quick to get us in. I liked the decor and style of the place. To drink I got the Lolita margarita. It was a very good margarita. Good ratio and taste. I definitely would've ordered another but planned on going to another bar afterwards. To start we got the guacamole and salsa. Guac was pretty good, salsa had a smoke flavor to it. For my meal I got the birria tacos. I was a bit underwhelmed. There was a lot of cheese and the tortilla was very thick. The cheese and tortilla over powered the flavor of the meat and for whatever reason it was very heavy where I wound up just eating the meat. The beef was nice and tender but could've used a bit more flavor. I also ordered a side of the rice and beans. I was disappointed. Neither had flavor and a bowl of flavorless rice and beans should not cost $12. The person I was with enjoyed her meal. She got the carne asada and it was cooked to her liking. Took a little while for the server to come at the beginning. I wouldn't mind coming back here, I think you just have to know what to order.

    Lolita is from the same team behind Verlaine and Madame George. We stopped in for HH and tried the $12 margaritas. They're more sweet than strong, nothing special. We ordered the guac and salsa to share. I have to say, the avocado was really fresh but it was bland... and the salsa was mild but good. I went with the birria tacos, which were just OK. Honestly, $17 for two tacos felt overpriced for what it was. The service was really slow, even though it wasn't busy at all. Would I come back? Probably not. Nothing really wowed me.

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.

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.

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!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

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.
