We had reservations, but when we went there was no host and you basically just sat yourself. The food was fine and drinks were fine, just not quite what we were expecting. So, a quiet place to grab a cocktail it is not, but it's an ok neighborhood bar.

I've been wanting to visit this hidden piano bar in NYC for the longest time, and I'm so happy I…read morefinally did. Between the live pianist, dimly lit space, and cozy atmosphere, it's a nice little escape from the busy streets of NYC. We started with their Tiny TINI Hour, ordering the Espresso Martini and the Keys & Blossoms cocktail alongside the K-POP Fries. The Espresso Martini easily made its way into my Top 5 Fav Espresso Martinis, while the Keys & Blossoms was light, slightly sweet, and incredibly refreshing. The K-pop Fries were truly an experience with the fresh cut kimchi, chili mayo, cheese, cilantro, and scallions, every bite making you crave more. For dinner, we both ordered the Bar Steak served with crispy potatoes and an incredible Argentinian chimichurri that tied the whole dish together. I love any form of potatoes but there's just something about whole potatoes and steak that hit differently for me. Of course, I couldn't leave without trying the Bodega Cat cocktail, served in an iconic New York blue coffee cup. It reminded me of a coconut espresso drink and was such a fun touch for the night. We also had the Whole 'Nother Sonata, which was just as delicious. We were way too full for dessert, but I love a perfect excuse to come back. Whether it's date night, girls' night, or you're just looking for a cozy cocktail spot with live music, So & So's deserves a spot on your list.

They play a mix of classics and personal works and throw in some latino compositions. For food, we got the prix fix menu of a starter, main and dessert for $60. Beyond worth it! They also have a robust cocktail and mocktail menu. Something for everyone. I ordered mini lobster rolls, sesame tuna and boozy bread pudding. Lobster rolls were petite but mighty good, shiso leaf in the cucumber salad was a nice touch and the bread pudding was to die for. I could barely finish the food altogether the portions were very generous. My friend had steak and I definitely took a few pieces as well. Overall it's super modern inside, comfy and with great food to accompany beautiful music. Top of the list for piano bars!

We had dinner reservations nearby and wanted to grab a drink beforehand. We were with a local who…read moreknew about Bar Centrale -- otherwise we never would have found it. There are no signs, and you walk up a set of steps and through a thick curtain to get inside. It's tucked into an old brownstone and very easy to miss. We went right around 7pm, and it was completely empty. That actually makes sense since Broadway shows start around then, so it's a great time to hit a bar or restaurant in the area. We sat at the bar. Service was a bit mixed. The bartender we had wasn't very friendly, but we did get our drinks without issue. We ordered a couple of Mexican mules and a martini. The martini was fabulous -- definitely the standout. Unfortunately, the mules were not great. I was also hoping for some specialty or holiday cocktails, but there weren't any. That said, the space itself is beautiful and has a cool, hidden-gem feel. The other staff we interacted with were very nice -- we just happened to get the grumpy bartender. Would I go back? Probably not, but only because there are so many other places in NYC I'd want to try. Still, it's a cool spot (if you can find it).

We originally came to Hotel Iroquois hoping to eat at Da Toscano, but since we didn't have a…read morereservation, getting to dine here was impossible. They said the wait would be 30 minutes and we were starving so couldn't wait until that time. The staff was helpful and suggested we check out Lanterns Keep instead, mentioned that they have the same chef. Aftertaking a look at the menu, we decided to give it a try. This place has an intimate feeling about it. Just a bit too cold since the AC was on full blast. The drinks were well-made and the food was a pleasant surprise. We started with the tomato, mozzarella arancini ballsand they were delicious. They were crispy on the outside, creamy flavorful on the inside all great as an appetizer. Fritto Misto, which came with cornmeal crusted cod, shrimp, calamari, zucchini, and lemon caper aioli. This dish wasn't my favorite. For dessert, we shared the Apple Olive Oil Cake which the server recommended. It was a great way to end the meal. The cake was moist and tasted more like carrot cake and the milk jam with cinnamon Chantilly complemented it perfectly. Overall, what started as a backup turned into a really good dinner. Don't overlook this place, you'll get to enjoy food from the same kitchen as the restaurant in the same hotel in a cocktail bar setting.

The interior is very aesthetic with dark wood, lots of dim lighting and a beautiful deep green paint color. The service was excellent and the bartender was so personable. They have a thoughtful food and drink menu, and we enjoyed everything we ordered. For food we ordered the bruschetta which was very good. As for drinks, we ordered the Old Daisy, Next Stop and the Equator and everyone enjoyed their drinks. It's a really nice spot to come for an after work drink or before or after a show. I'd definitely come back again.

Take my advice, order the nachos. I tried some of his and they were good. Only reason I'm giving this place three stars. The sandwich was terrible. It tasted like one of those pulled pork meats that you get from a tub at the supermarket. Google Lloyds BBQ pulled pork if you're not sure what I'm talking about. I'm confident my meal wasn't made from scratch and was reheated store bought food. Needless to say it wasn't good but at least it wasn't terrible. I was able to finish the sandwich but barely touched the fries. I'm willing to come back just for the nacho. They looked cheap but at least tasted good.
