Keeping It Real!! I…read morewent with my sister to one of her favorite spots to celebrate my birthday. We've been here plenty of times, but this visit was... a mixed bag. The Drink: I decided to try their signature Frozé, which sounded like a dream on paper: Hampton Water Rosé, Grey Goose Vodka, Lillet Rosé, and Elderflower. Fancy, floral, and promising. The presentation was Instagram-worthy--garnished with a freeze-dried lemon wedge and a tiny flower. But watching the bartender handle those garnishes with bare hands? Not exactly confidence-inspiring. Taste-wise, it was sweet. Like, "I've hit my sugar quota for the day" sweet. At $18, it's standard NYC pricing, but I couldn't tell if I was tipsy or just riding a glucose high. A second round? My blood sugar said absolutely not. ‍ The Vibe: The place was nearly empty, and the maître d' gave off serious "why are you here?" energy. We asked about sitting outside and got a reaction like we'd requested a private yacht. Not the warmest welcome. The Letdowns besides the way too sweet drink...No happy hour pricing on the signature drink? Oof. That stung a little! Good thing I couldn't have another drink. Le District has its charm, and I've had better experiences here in the past. But this visit didn't quite hit the mark. Pretty drinks, meh service, and a sugar overload--not exactly the trifecta I was hoping for...

My cousin and I had a very nice brunch at Temple Court. We walked in for a late meal during a…read moreSunday snowstorm and had no trouble getting a table. The jazz brunch menu was being served until 3pm. The atmosphere was wonderful, featuring live music for part of our stay, a vintage elegant ambiance, and impressive architecture. However, the restaurant was incredibly cold. While the snowstorm may have played a part, I noticed one other reviewer mentioning the freezing temperature as well. For my meal, I ordered the smoked salmon toast and a side of chicken apple sausage. The toast, which cost $23, came with cream cheese, pickled red onions, and caper berries. I was pleasantly surprised by the very generous portion of high-quality, buttery salmon and the substantial size of the dish. While the menu didn't list the type of bread, it seemed to be a multigrain with the right thickness and a nice crunch, though the outer edges were a bit too hard. The tang from the onions and the unique caper berries were nice touches, and I would definitely order this again. The side of chicken apple sausage was good and reportedly house-made, but it was fairly standard. I also enjoyed a genmaicha tea that was served at my ideal temperature and in a teapot, which provided several servings. My cousin ordered the country omelette, which he enjoyed, though he felt it wasn't quite worth the price. He also had a cappuccino that he found disappointing, noting an unpleasant aftertaste and a texture that suggested the beans weren't properly ground. Overall, it was a good experience, though I likely wouldn't return unless I were invited by someone else.

I was really excited to come try out breakfast at one of the coolest hotels in NYC. The Beekman…read moreHotel is a well known place here. It has alot of history to it. I came here on a holiday weekend. The like lounge part area/bar is a cool area to sit in depending on where you sit as there is a part of the area where if you look up the balconies just make a cool view. Anyways, they sat me in another area where I was seated in a booth area by the window. Location of the table was fine but wow the couch that they have for the booth is so very u comfortable. I don't know if it was just my side but it was low to the ground and like very worn in. I was like sinking into the couch. It actually made my back hurt more than it does regularly. I ordered the Beekman breakfast I think it was called. It was scrambled eggs with asparagus and bacon, and mushrooms. I asked for no mushrooms. So the dish comes out and it looks good. I take a bite and the eggs seemed like not to be fresh they tasted like they were microwaved or something and the bacon were more like bacon bit pieces which I thought they were going to be like actual bacon pieces. The food was pretty salty and just not that good. The service was pretty slow and my waitress never came over to check on how I was doing or if I needed anything. I had to get another person attention when I wanted the check and then like another person brought me the check. It was all just soo odd. The meal came with a choice of juice so I got orange juice. I also got an iced latte. Would I come back here for brunch and try out something else... nope I am all set especially with the prices that the food is. I would come back and try out some drinks at the bar area though.

Fun dinner/drinks spot! The food was good but you really come here for the atmosphere…read more I met two friends here on a Thursday night for dinner. We luckily had a reservation (highly recommend making one). I wasn't drinking that night but the cocktails looked delicious! For food, I ordered whatever fish entrée they had on the menu and the cauliflower side. The fish was just okay but the cauliflower was to die for. The next time I go back I might just order the cauliflower and some cocktails lol. Service was attentive but not overly interruptive. It was rather rowdy when we were there so I wouldn't really call this a good place if you are looking for a calm, quiet meal. Great place for a dinner with friends!

Loved seeing the place open up in the back! It's like a speakeasy surprise! The drinks were tasty. I had a mocktail and it wasn't too sweet. My friend got the steak tartar small plate and I got the veggie pastry large plate. Though everything was meant to share we were both hungry and just ate our meals. She loved her tartar and I loved my decadent puff pastry meal. The ambiance and staff here are a big highlight and that's saying a lot since I tend to focus on food. It was a perfect spot for two friends to catch up after almost a year.

They have specials daily that are incredible, but their fixed menu is a can't miss. The kitchen is so quick too, you have fresh bread and hot food out in no time. The drinks are always fresh and you have water at all times. And they have an unbeatable happy hour!! The ambience and vibes are immaculate! It's so welcoming and cozy. Above all, the staff is what really makes this place shine. They are attentive, kind and genuinely care about making sure you have a great experience. Daniel is an incredible server/bartender. His drinks are always perfectly made and right on time. He is knowledgeable about the menu and knows all the specials by heart. He is kind, always has a smile on and really makes your experience so comfortable and fun. Edwin always makes sure your table is appropriately bussed and that you have fresh bread hot from the kitchen.

The restaurant was stunning with its adobe style walls and tasteful decor; it looked like something out of an interior design magazine. It had a bar area in the front with sturdy, comfortable bar stools and a bright, sprawling dining room in the back. The very friendly hostess greeted us upon our arrival and ushered us to two seats at the bar. The bartender was also delightful and let us know that it was their weekend afternoon happy hour, which reduced their pricy cocktails to $14. I went with their Carajillo with espresso and Licor 43, a drink that I only discovered recently and now prefer to an espresso martini. It seemed like the cocktail was only on their happy hour menu, so I would need to go back during those hours to enjoy it again, as it was the best rendition I had ever had! It offered the perfect balance of rich boldness and vanilla sweetness. The Carajillo was served in a huge snifter glass with a thick layer of foam and some coffee beans along the top. It was heavenly! While we were there, I glanced at the brunch menu, which offered a vast list of tacos, Mexican egg dishes, ceviche, and more. Everything sounded terrific, and I definitely plan to go back to at least one of their locations.

I introduced my now husband to this place when we were dating and now it's one of his favorite places in the city as well. We more often than not strike up conversations with numerous patrons at the bar when we're there. It's such a pleasant and bright atmosphere that it's hard not to be sociable when there. I absolutely love the cocktails and vino selection here, and the food does not disappoint. I've tried most things on the menu and I can say I've not disliked anything. Bruce and Mikey are the best! They make killer cocktails. I will continue to support and enjoy this place.
