Palermo was absolutely incredible. I was intrigued the moment I looked at the menu, and it exceeded every expectation. We ordered the octopus, tuna tartare, skirt steak, and chicken, along with a margarita and the Palermo Mezcal cocktail. Every single item was exceptional. Even the complimentary bread that came out at the beginning was a 10/10. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we loved being able to watch the kitchen prepare our food from our table. It's a small kitchen, which makes it even more impressive that they're consistently turning out such thoughtful and delicious dishes. I noticed some reviews mentioning slow service, but I honestly think those people missed the entire point of the experience. Palermo isn't meant to be rushed. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and feels like you're sitting in someone's living room enjoying a meal they've carefully prepared just for you. We never felt pressured to order quickly or rushed through our meal, which made the experience even better. Every dish was meticulously prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can tell that everything is made with care and attention to detail. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, Palermo created an experience that felt warm, intentional, and memorable. If you're looking for a spot that makes you feel like you've been transported to Argentina, where you're welcomed to slow down, enjoy great company, and savor your meal at your own pace, this is the place for you. Palermo delivers more than just incredible food--it creates an experience. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and authentic, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. read more

Palermo NYC Argentinian Bistro - Argentine Near Me - New York, New York

We were seated upstairs where it was very cold and had no ambience. Service was just ok. Appetizer came fast but our main course took forever to arrive. Empanadas were ok. Rib eye was over cooked and nothing special and it was expensive! Prices are high especially when you consider the below average food, service and atmosphere. Based on this, we won't be returning. read more

I decided to give Palermo's a shot since it had been open for a while and I hadn't had the chance to go. The first floor sitting space is very small, I realized quickly that there are only two seating options on the main floor, either inside or out on the street. I was also given the option of sitting upstairs. I walked up a long flight of steps [no elevator] and on the first landing I was ushered into a room which looked like an abandoned storeroom but was outfitted with tables. I was seated at one table and water was provided. I looked over the menu and after a quick explanation from the waiter as to what the offerings were, I opted for the Palermo burger.medium well. The room I was sitting had no ambience whatsoever, no pictures on the walls, no music playing, only a series of tables and a small bar in one corner. Since I was not ordering a great deal of food and not from the grill menu, I was largely ignored for most of my visit. My food did arrive and the burger was of a substantial size, cooked well with small vats of ketchup and a spicy mayo since this came with a cup of shoestring fries. One caveat, the burger is messy to eat and you almost need a third hand or cut it into quarters not to make a mess. After my food arrived, I was on my own. No one came to check to see if my food was OK, to fill my water glass, etc. They brought me a basket of hard rolls which, of the two I tasted, were not even worth the trouble. This basket came as I was finishing my meal. This came with a small vat of red pepper dip. The most egregious thing was the service which was truly lacking, either due to not enough help or coddling people who were ordering more to eat and/or drink The waiter covering the room that day was very attentive to a large group of tourists. I have no complaints about what I ordered but the lack of ambience and poor service would make one pause before another visit. When the time came to pay the bill, the waiter came by with a hand held machine to show me what I owed and I told him I needed a receipt. He stood there waiting for me to get my money out-at this point, suddenly I had his attention. The steps leading back down to the main floor are steep and even when you get to the bottom, there is another small step with no railing which If you are not careful, you could break your hip. Take your chances with this place, if you decide to go, sit inside on the first floor. read more

I happened upon this place on my way to see "Death Becomes Her" at the Lunt-Fontanne theater. I'm so glad I did. I usually go to my favorite places in NY, but this time I thought I'd try some new places. And this did NOT disappoint. The dining room is small, and there is also outside seating (when the weather is nice, of course). The server was very nice and gave good recommendations. I had the NY strip Milanese which was VERY good. It's a steak that's pounded, and breaded. Served with a side salad, and a side of mashed potatoes. The bread they served was warm and came with a sauce. DEEEEEEEELISH!! It paired perfectly with my glass of Malbec. I'd love to come back next time I'm in NY for more!! read more

The Milanesa was just okay - tough and chewy, not what As expected though the beef empanadas were really good. Service was slow enough that I skipped ordering a 2nd glass of wine, and they seemed to struggle turning tables at payment time, bringing the tablet back and forth and running cards multiple times while other guests were clearly getting annoyed by the same thing. When I asked why this was happening, the waiter couldn't explain in English. The restaurant itself is cute, small and cozy, and the staff friendly, but overall it just didn't live up to what I was expecting. read more

It's a very cozy restaurant and the staff is friendly. The beef empanadas were good and the lamb croquettes were excellent. The lamb croquettes were very rich. Roasted beets were ok. My friend and I shared the short ribs and we didn't expect the way they were cooked. I'm sure for those who love a very fatty piece of meat would enjoy it. This was not something we liked too much. The one thing that I noticed was when we were getting the check, they auto selected 20% tip instead of allowing the patron to decide what they want to give. Although I understand this is a hot topic, we didn't appreciate that. read more

I just love how cozy and authentic this place is. The staff took such good care of us and we even got to listen to a mariachi type performance even though we sat outside. It's rare that restaurants give outdoor diners the same experience as indoors. I really appreciated this. It goes without saying that all the food here is fantastic. We shared the beef empanadas, the octopus, the tuna tartar and the ribeye with mashed potatoes. I also had the dolce de leche flan. Just a great meal all around with the cutest Argentinian family making the experience next level. Wheelchair access details: they saved a perfect table accessibility wise for me outdoors. There is a step-free entrance to go inside on the main level and some of the tables do look accessible but I've never been inside. The place is quite small. There is a second floor dining room that would not be accessible I believe. I am not sure about the restroom. read more

Stopped here after a show, with a fairly large group of 8. And as we approached we were confused at how small the place was, only to learn that there are upstairs seating, with a full bar. My in laws are of argentinian decent, so when I say that this place delivered, you can be assured that it passed the seal of approval by 3 argentians (my wife being the third, obv). We had the beef empanadas (after getting a lecture from my inlaws that corn the foods food HAHA), and argentinian chorizo's (on the menu the sell these as mixed with blood suaseges that we didn't want, but they accomodated and just brought chorizo) - these were great, and and an excelant start to the meal. At the table, we have def a high concerntration of milaneza (breaded beef), both napolitana style, and regular, as well as some steaks, I had a wonderful NY strip, and can attest that the skirt stead was also wonderful! We ordered a few salads, which was the only confusing part of the meal, and think that the staff (which was super friendly and knowledgable) should have hinted that we over did it - apparently some of the entree's come with a side salad, while others do not, we thought none of them do, so we ordered additional salads, that ended up just being a waste. Also the salads were nothing to write home about. I will say that our server picked on this, asked what happened, and comped us one of the salads, which was very nice of him to do. All in all, this was a great meal, far from cheap, but overall we all left satisfied and full - and have since recommended the place to visiting friends as an excelant place to eat before/after a show. We did go to see Buena Vista Club, and some of the cast came after to this place, so had the opertunity to raise a glass with them as well! read more

I loved this place so much! The food was amazing and the service was impeccable! Our server, Carlos, went above and beyond to take care of us on a beautiful sunday night (seated outside). The atmosphere is great with some music and gorgeous decor. We would definitely recommend the steak. The complimentary bread starter was also to die for. read more

SO! they add 20% gratuity ( just for one person) then have prompts on the machine for an extra 3,5 or 7 precent and don't tell you till the check is brought. They asked for reviews before they send the check. AND! even tho they messed up my entree the offered thing but neglected to take a percentage off of the item they messed up.

As you can see by the six pics I've posted, I've come here a few times! Why? Because this is a great spot consistently offering a lovely experience each and every time. Whether pre- or post-theater dining, catching up with a friend, birthday dinner or other occasion, Palermo has always been the perfect pick. The converted town house feel makes for a wonderful escape from midtown while still being in the heart of it all. Service is always welcoming and accommodating (thanks, Juan, and the owner for continuing that tradition with tonight's dinner!). The food and drinks always make me and my dining companions happy. And they have some gems I haven't found elsewhere. On a block saturated with dining options ranging from sub par to excellent, Palermo is firmly placed on the excellent side of that spectrum. Take it from me. If you're turning onto 46th St from 8th Ave and checking out menu boards, keep walking toward 9th Ave and pop into this gem near the end of the block. You're welcome. read more

#solosobersista I think this place used to be a Broadway haunt (can't remember the name but I think it was called Glass House (not Tavern)). To start, I've ALWAYS loved this place. It just feels like your sitting in somebodies pre-war NYC apartment (because essentially YOU ARE). I decided to get the skirt steak with humita (traditional corn side dish). The starter bread was charred, which initially threw me off because I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be, but when I tore it away, it was the perfect texture and because I happen to enjoy smoky flavor, I tried and decided I liked it pretty good charred. The bread with cheese (can't remember the name, but I have typically had it at Brazilian restaurants, was also charred and delicious (devoured). Humita, at last I've found you, a bowl of corn better than grits. Fresh mashed corn and squash with cheese melted in. It took me about 6 bites to even look at the skirt steak, which was in fact delicious! Damn. No way I could finish the creamy humita but that steak didn't stand a chance. The two sauces were perfect. My server was very kind, and for the most part prompt and attentive. One suggestion if I may: for the price point, this is definitely in the fine dining category, and as such, there are certain things, like refilling empty glasses and bringing a steak knife, that waiters typically do. All in all, I really enjoyed this experience, even when a group of very young, very boisterous young men, came to drink at the bar and entirely shifted the air with their scent and gym maxing. read more

Stopped in for dinner after a show, hoping for a cozy little spot for a date night. What I got instead was a tiny restaurant with big chain energy and some of the weirdest vibes I've encountered. Let's start with the chairs. They are so overly cushioned and flimsy I thought I might fall off. The tables had paper covers over tablecloths, which felt like a metaphor for the whole place: trying to be upscale but giving up halfway. The staff wore branded shirts and headsets giving off Texas Roadhouse energy in a space that could barely fit a food truck. Drinks? Solid. No complaints there. But the steak was aggressively oversalted. And the corn empanada? Somehow the hottest thing I've ever been served and still cold in spots. A true paradox. And this is just a personal pet peeve, I kept catching occasional whiffs of Fabuloso. Not overpowering, but enough to get my attention. In retrospect, I should have taken the hint from the 47 signs outside indicating a tourist trap and kept walking. read more

This place is a hidden gem! My husband and I visited before a Broadway show, and everything was amazing. The freshly baked bread with a flavorful red sauce was a great start, and our cocktails--margarita and mezcalrita--were so fresh and delicious. For appetizers, the tuna tartare was super fresh and my husband's favorite. The corn empanadas had the lightest, freshest dough I've ever had. We shared the skirt steak with asparagus and fries--tender meat, perfectly paired with chimichurri. The roasted red pepper was a great touch. It was a great size for two, and the Malbec wine was the perfect match. Dessert: a latte and alfajores to finish the meal--just perfect! Can't wait to return next time I'm in the theater district! read more

Food and presentation were good. My daughter and I had a complete meals - appetizers, entrees, and drinks, and while she was paying the bill (expensive) for my Mother's Day, she ordered another round for each of us. They brought out and charged for two additional drinks each. Wtf. We immediately notified them that we only ordered one round but they refused to take it off the bill. We left the untouched round on the table. Totally unacceptable, but especially after spending a lot of money there! I worked in multiple restaurants as a young adult and this is not good customer service!! read more

We went to try this Argentinian restaurant recently and unfortunately we were a bit disappointed with the quality of the food. We had beef empanada, chorizo & morcilla, skirt steak with side of salad and fries. The food (three of them) was very oily/greasy, on top of being very greasy, the skirt steak portion was small, very salty and it wasn't cooked the way I requested ( request was medium rare and arrived medium). I found it very pricey as well. Total bill was almost $200 for the above food and 2 glasses of red wine and - dessert (flan - this was the only one that ) read more

Palermo NYC Argentinian Bistro - Sabastian is an amazing bartender ! - Argentine Near Me - New York, New York

I had a great experience here the food was good and the service was great. We had a reservation at 5 and we got there at 4:45 and were seated right away on the second floor. The service was great, the food took a little longer than expected to arrive but that was ok we weren't in a rush today and we had some great mezcal margaritas to pass the time. Only gripe was the music was too low I could hear the conversations from all the other guests. Small thing which was really nbd. Garlic shrimp was fantastic but they forgot any salt, adding a touch of salt took this from bland to great. I would 100% recommend this. I got the steak milanese which was so big half way through I wondered if I'd finish but of course I did, I'm paying for it. The short ribs were also good again lacked salt but thankfully we already had a salt shaker at the table. Overall I had a great experience and would return again. Cheers! read more

The octopus was really good very tender I enjoyed the saffron aioli. The skirt steak was good but average. The ny strip was a bit under from the mid rare that I requested. The pisco sour was good as well as the mule beverage. The empanadas were average, filling was not impressive. The service was lacking seemed like they were short staffed and generally just not very amicable. The restaurant is pretty inside. Pretty penny for mediocre food/experience in my opinion. read more

Loved this restaurant. Went for the first time last week. The service and food were impeccable. The best Branzino I've EVER had and I'm Greek! So, I've tried a lot of Branzino.

Writing this review breaks my heart. The food here was phenomenal, but the customer service and regard for the patrons was completely lacking. Because of an unknown mix-up, one of our party's entrees arrived 30 minutes later than the rest (and was cooked completely wrong). It ruined the whole experience for our party. And, they seemed unconcerned with their errors and never tried to make it right. This place needs to take a knee for a few weeks to rethink their model. Unless or until they do, the food is not worth the hassle. read more

Food was good. The family member who waited on us didn't speak much English. I couldn't get her to understand Pittsburg or Charred rare. We had the boratta appetizer with a pistachio pesto. Awesome. The grilled bread they served right away was very soft and grilled perfectly. 2 NY Strips. Mine cooked perfectly. My wife's was not a great cut although flavorful. Side of mashed potatoes as warm. Beats were excellent. Overall food was very good. Serve was okay. At this location the tables are very close to the open kitchen. The two cooks were not wearing gloves and prepping food with their bare hands. I think that is a law in NYS. read more

The best part of Palermo is the hospitality and the unique dishes. The cocktail menu is standard classics, including a French 75, which I always like to see on a menu. You'll be warmly welcomed at the front. I suggest you immediately order the sangria. It's delicious blend that is complex and avoids a sugar rush. Follow that with the corn empanadas. They are a delicacy of north Argentina and hard to find at most Argentinian steak restaurants I've gone to. We ordered the NY Strip and it was plenty to share. The medium rare was perfection and the accompanying sauces are delightful. By far though the best uniques there are The sangria The corn empanadas The romesco sauce read more
