    NY strip Milanese
    Anne S.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The food here is really good, especially the steak. The restaurant has a few floors, but is generally very small. They were a bit short staffed when I went, but the servers are friendly. I might go again solo if sitting at the bar.

    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.

    The food was good. We had been eyeing the restaurant for quite some time and decided to finally try it. The food for me needed a little more salt but other than that it was good.

    Went for restaurant week pre Broadway show. Food was great, staff friendly and attentive, space small but cozy. Would definitely come again.

    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!

    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 )

    Tinto de verano
    Juana G.

    Food was delicious and savory. Service is kind. They do not split the bill even though we asked before we ordered. Cute place in an old house. Good music. I was disappointed they did not let us pay what we ordered instead the bill was split in three.

    Sabastian is an amazing bartender !
    Malie B.

    This place has everything. So many great choices on the menu. I ordered the skirt steak and a side of asparagus. It was wonderful. I also ordered a cocktail called Tito which is sort of like a sangria spritz. Loved it. Great place to come before or after an comedy show at The Stand one block over.

Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. 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. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

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.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. 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.
