    French toast
    Fiona O.

    Servers were nice, and I loved the vibes of the space. We sat outside, and it reminded me of a French cafe. The toast was disappointing though. It was soggy, and I didn't love how strong the lemon flavor was. The service was good initially, but we had to hunt a server down to get our check. Not sure I'd come back, but it's a cute spot.

    Shrimp cocktail

    Ever since its opening in the Upper East Side, Nightly's has been packed morning, noon, and night. I came here on two occasions, once for an impromptu dinner, on which, in a stroke of luck, we were quickly seated. In another, I came for brunch on the day of the famed New York blizzard (the first of its kind since 2016) with a reservation for two. I had enjoyed my time at Nightly's on both occasions. For dinner, my husband and I ordered the steak au poivre with a side of greens. The steak was delicious, cooked to a perfect medium rare, and although the meat itself was a marvel, what really struck me was how delicious the sauce was. It was the best steak sauce I've ever had! The dish did come with fries, which were wonderfully cooked as well: crispy, with that soft, potatoey interior that I just love. I wasn't too fond of the greens. They were too lightly seasoned and the texture was not appealing. Although, this is not the fault of the establishment. It was not up to my particular tastes - I simply ordered wrong. For brunch I came with a friend and ordered the pancakes with a side of sausages while she ordered the huevos rancheros. The pancakes were soft and fluffy, the berries sweet and tart, and the sausages so satisfyingly meaty on the inside, crispy on the outside. The huevos rancheros was a standout as well. I vowed to order that next time.

    Garden Omelet
    Andrew K.

    Came for brunch and found it ok, not bad, not great. Seating is a bit cramped and not easy to converse given the noise level. Service was quite good and the fish tacos and the garden omelet were tasty. Plenty of goat cheese! Strangely one had to ask for salt and pepper. Perhaps because the tables are small? But the sourdough toast was not buttered, but again, butter provided upon request. Good macchiato. A popular spot. Why?

    Fun dinner spot! It's crowded, fun and lively - the perfect way to start (or end) your night. Service was quick and attentive and they were super sweet and put a candle on my martini for my birthday bc I'm not a dessert person! The misfit martini is delicious and so is all of the food. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a fun dinner.

    We had the BEST Sunday brunch at Nightly's on the Upper East Side!!! We had walked past it a few times throughout the weekend and it was always packed with people, so we had a feeling it must be good -- and the brunch absolutely did not disappoint. They seated us in an adorable alcove in the back with velvet curtains and cute art all over the walls, and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food wise, our group had the cacio e pepe soft scramble (what a unique dish -- served over crusty sourdough and a flavorful tomato jam, topped with Parmesan cheese and accompanied by a light arugula salad), two omelets (the hero and the garden -- I don't think I've ever tasted such a fluffy, perfectly cooked omelette), the huevos rancheros (flavorful and delicious), the challah French toast (SO glad we got one of these for the table -- the blueberry mascarpone topping was a standout!) and a side of thick-cut, crispy bacon. We absolutely loved every bite and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quintessential weekend brunch on the UES!

    BLACK TIE BURGER and SAGE GNOCCHI
    Rochelle N.

    I was more excited to try this place and I really wanted to like it but it was just alright. We got to our reservation right on time and were told it would only be a few minutes only for us to get seated 30+ minutes later. We were able to sit at the bar in that time but we just wanted to eat. We ordered the fig carpaccio as our appetizer and this was our favorite dish. The bread was really soft and the figs with the balsamic were so flavorful. For mains we got the gnocchi and the black tie burger. The gnocchi was a bit too salty after a couple bites, so don't anticipate it being sweeter because of the pumpkin. The burger was super hyped up but to me it was just a solid burger nothing super special. It maybe needed a little more seasoning on the patty but the fries were fine. The servers were great though and super timely with the food. The place was also super packed on a Thursday night, we caught a cancelled reservation after turning Resy notifications on. The ambiance was great. I feel if I was to return it would be to try more appetizers and have a drink rather than the entrees.

    Steak Au Poivre, Moules, Roasted Brussels, Mashed Potatoes
    Jennica S.

    I went to Nightly's with two of my girlfriends when I visited NY and we had a 10/10 experience. We made a reservation since my friend who lives in NY said it is always busy, and I'm glad we did! At first, we were seated at this high top table, but it was definitely not enough room for the three of us. Luckily, there was another dining room table to sit at. All of the food that we ordered was amazing, as well as the drinks! Out of the octopus, mussels and steak au poivre, the steak au poivre was definitely my (our) favorite. The steak was cooked to perfection and the peppercorn sauce was delicious. I wish I had a whole bottle of it. The mashed potatoes were some of the fluffiest I've had, and so, so tasty. The food took a little while to come to the table, but that was to be expected, and we were having such a great time that we didn't realize. I can't remember our waiter's name since this was back in August, but I remember him telling us he was Argentinian. He was amazing! He was attentive and very personable. There was another waiter (with glasses) and he would help us out too, and he was also great. He even put his iPhone flashlight on me when I was taking selfies. Safe to say that the staff were friendly and the vibe was right. I do wish the creme brûlée cheesecake was more creme brûlée-y, but still a treat.

    Sticky Toffee Pudding
    Johnny G.

    I didn't know what to think about this place but it warmed up to me afterwhile. It was charming yet vibrant and the food/drinks were up to par. We got there way before our reservations so sat at the bar for one drink. I had the Misfit Martini (i love the moment Martinis are having with everyone doing a slight variation.) It had a shishito pepper and tasted tangy, clean and a hint of sweetness. Very good. The food was extremely good- we started with the Cucumber Salad that touched ever food palate- crunch with nuts, freshness from the cucumber, earthness from the dill, and a bit creamy from the cheese and dressing. Very good! The spinach dip was equally a star for the night. I wanted to eat healthy so I went with the Salmon dish ($34 ) was wonderful. Wished there were some carbs but I guess thats why they have sides. Most people around me were ordering the burger and the steak dishes. Ended the night with the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Man it was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Make reservations, seating seems to be getting crazy.

    Caramelized Carrots
    Jessica Y.

    We had a reservation for 9pm on a Saturday and the place was packed. The hostess told us our table would be ready in a few minutes and it wasn't until 30 mins later that we were seated. When we asked the status of our table, the hostess told us that the people seated at our table have paid and were waiting to use the restroom (for 30 minutes). We were quite annoyed that the staff didn't make any additional attempts to clear the table when clearly they were finished. When finally seated, we ordered the il florista and dovetail cocktails which were good. For food, we ordered the burger and caramelized carrots. The burger was one of the best I've had and the caramelized carrots balanced it out nicely with sweet compared to the salty fries. I would've liked to have ordered an appetizer but by the time we sat down, we wanted to just eat and get out of there. All in all, I was very excited to try this place but disappointed with the service. At one point in the meal, my friend finished both her cocktail and water and nobody came to refill her beverage or ask us how our meal was. The food was delicious but the lower rating is truly due to their service.

    Mezcal. Ugh.
    Heather W.

    Ugh. This is the third time I've been here- the server asked about drinks, and I asked about a drink, and passing on it due to it having mezcal. She insisted it was "well balanced" and NOT mezcal-tasting. Well, of course it was-- she ignored out table for the next hour, THEN noticed I barely had a sip, THEN asked 'oh, is it too Mezcal-y'? "YES.". Nothing. (WTH kind of service is this?!) Ugh. I'm really loathe to ever return, as this has been my experience all 3 times.

    Seared Gnocchi
    Alexa T.

    My friend made a reservation for us at 6 pm on a Friday and thank god she did! The entire place was packed. We were seated inside but they have a ton of outdoor seating. There's 2 single stall bathrooms in the back. It's by the kitchen and kind of a tight spot. Service was great! They continuously filled our waters up through out the night. We ordered: - pillow talk cocktail: I enjoyed this because it was refreshing and you can't taste the alcohol. - fish tacos - burger: I got it medium and it hit the spot. Fries weren't the best I've ever had but they were crispy enough. I liked the sautéed onions the burger came with. - gnocchi I would come back again for the service and vibes. I fee like food was fine and nothing really good out.

    Dubai chocolate crepe
    Luiza A.

    Was finally able to get a reservation quite easily for a Wednesday night and everything was absolutely incredible! Lots of gluten free options. We sat in a booth in the back that is beautifully decorated with artwork and a bit quieter than the very lively main area. The service was great and everything we ate was amazing! We started with the chargrilled caesar which was delicious and perfectly crunchy. The corn and parmigiano were delicious and not too overpowering. For entrees we got the burger and fish tacos. The burger is absolutely incredible and perfectly juicy. The fries are also delicious and cooked perfectly. Definitely a must get! The fish tacos were also delicious and the slaw on top compliments the fish so nicely. For sides, we tried the caramelized carrots and patatas bravas. Both are amazing! The potatoes are not smashed which we were not expecting but still so delicious and the sauce on top is perfect. The carrots are also cooked perfectly and so delicious. For dessert, we got the dubai chocolate crepes and they were unreal. Not too sweet, has a nice crunch and an incredible way to end the meal. There was not a single dish I didn't enjoy! Would absolutely come back and try the brunch.

    The lot
    Spencer S.

    Great neighborhood spot. Very nice staff and beautiful interior. Resy is hard to come by during prime hours, so would recommend just walking in to the extent you can. The car and like 4 high top tables are always first come first serve. We sat at the bar We ordered the summer risotto and the burger. Both were very good but not blow your socks off. Would definitely order both again very happily. Lots of flavor Martinis looked good and ice cold. I didn't order one but will be sure to next time Will be back as a local!

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.
