It was our first time back to the T Bar since Tony Fortuna's passing. The space is pretty. The bar was surprisingly active on a Monday night. The crowd at the bar was, ahem, mature. There was a big flat screen TV in the back of the dining room. I hope it was just for the World Cup and not a permanent feature. Jim Kramer's manic shenanigans in the background did not add to the vibe. Our waiter was lovely. He made our experience a lot more fun. The T Bar has a great restaurant week deal. The cocktails were excellent. The rosemary and olive breads are a treat. We mostly stuck to the restaurant week offerings. My wife had the angel wings. They were tasty but teeny. The hamachi crispy sushi was really good. The meatballs are also a reliable starter. My wife and I both had branzino. It's among one of the best versions in NYC. The apple cobbler was good. The only bummer is that I didn't get the Banana Parfait Mille Feuilles. It's one of my absolute favorite desserts and I was sorry not to get it. It's too bad that it's become a large format dessert. This is a more than solid choice for the UES and steak is really the least of it here. read more

Visited T bar for a work-related dinner and was pleasantly surprised with the food. It wasn't too busy so we pretty much got the entire second floor to ourselves. My party of 6 got a bunch of appetizers and desserts with individual entrees. The mushroom rice balls were nicely fried with a gooey cheese center that went well with their creamy sauce. I feel like I didn't need the rice to be crispy in the sushi pieces and the fish slices didn't look the most fresh. The burrata was pretty solid with their olive based bread. For mains, the branzino was grilled nicely and plated on a bed of well-seasoned roasted fennel. The fish was tender and juicy. For desserts, the banana parfait featured a tasty coconut mille feuilles, but it was kinda harder to cut/break through to serve. It wasn't as banana-forward which I liked, especially to allow the coconut taste to come through. The apple crisp was solid and of course came with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream. The ginger margarita featured a sweet, ginger-y salt which went well with the. honey and ginger-forward drink. Staff were very nice and polite. Food did take a while to come, but not sure if that was related to our specific programing or another logistical issue. The dim lighting and dark-colored decor give it a vibey, intimate environment. Music fortunately wasn't too loud so we could still converse. There was several floors to this restaurant, including a private dining room upstairs. read more

We stopped by on a rainy day craving burgers and drinks. We fou d this place randomly and I'm glad we did. We both have burgers and i loved them. The bun was nice and toasted and my burger tasty and cooked to perfection. The drinks were strong and service friendly. The prices were on the upper side, we aid 100 bucks for everything + tip. read more

3.5 stars I came to T Bar to try their $45 three-course lunch menu since it's been on my list for a while. The hostess was really welcoming, which was a nice start. The food was okay overall. The roasted beets were good, fresh, and nicely done. I got the chicken Milanese (without tomatoes), which was a good portion and nicely breaded, but honestly pretty flavorless. The apple tart for dessert was probably the highlight and pretty good. I didn't stay for happy hour, but I did get a small tonic water that was about $6, which felt a bit pricey for the size. It's a convenient spot if you're hungry and nearby, but I'm not in a rush to go back unless someone else wanted to try it. Also, it took forever to get my check, so if you're on a time crunch, definitely give your server a heads up. read more

T Bar was great! The service was prompt and friendly, the ambiance was chill, but vibrant, and the food was delicious! The branzino was seasoned really well and my husband said his chicken was too. The burrata was creamy and tasty as well. We definitely plan to return! read more

I miss the old T bar. It was the best people watching in all of Manhattan, with the occasional RHONY siting. When we walked past its new location, we knew we had to check it out. The space is beautiful, and sophisticated without being too trendy. The staff was pleasant if a bit abrupt. We had: - Truffle Rice Balls - delicious, the dipping sauce was great. - Burrata - tasty, nothing too special. - Crispy Sushi - very good. - Seared Tuna - it was good but it was on a bed of seaweed salad. A lot of seaweed salad. Not a great texture experience. Plus putting a pile of ginger in the middle didn't make sense. Typically you eat ginger in between trying different types of sushi - a palate cleanser. Why do you need a palate cleanser when eating one dish? Anyhow, I digress.... - Cauliflower Side- very spicy. - Pavlova Dessert - very good. We were in and out in one hour, not exactly how we envisioned our Saturday night and we did have a reservation. Overall we had a very decent meal but if I want fast food, I'll go to McDonald's. read more

We ate here twice during our 4 days in NYC -- once for brunch and once for lunch -- and honestly, we wish we'd had time to come back for dinner! For brunch, I had the Cobb Salad and we shared the Smoked Salmon and Potato Latkes -- absolutely delicious. The bacon on the Cobb Salad was exceptional (and let's be honest, bacon makes everything better). For lunch, I had the Turkey Club -- and yes, the bacon was just as amazing the second time around! Great spot, real deal, fantastic vibe. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant when you're in the city. read more

Apparently, we were on a hunt for the best steak in the city and I think we accomplished it. T Bar was just a short walk from our hotel and looked rather swanky so we decided to give it a go for our last meal on the city. We ordered a strip, fries and green beans to share. The steak was brilliantly cooked and the sides accompanied the steak perfectly. Overall, it was a great way to end our NYC adventure! read more

**Tony once knew exactly what it took to run a great restaurant, but lately the experience feels slow, chaotic, and unfocused. The dishes lack presentation, the food looks messy, and the servers come across as sloppy and inattentive. The overall coordination of ambiance and cuisine feels mediocre compared to what it used to be. And one note on dress code -- when guests arrive dressed elegantly, tennis shoes shouldn't be part of the dining floor. A bit more attention to standards and manners would elevate the entire experience. read more

Ambiance (5/5): The inside is a split level and opens into the back mezzanine and also has an upstairs. The decorations are ornate. It was a bit dark but cozy and not too loud that you can hear each other. Service (5/5): The service is wonderful; coat checks in the front. Kind and attentive staff. Timing of dishes were great. Water glasses were refilled often. Took a little time getting the bill paid but overall, great service. Food (4/5): We came here for restaurant week ($60 3-course meal) and asked to order everything as family style. By doing so, the staff was kind enough to provide us each plates and we helped ourselves when the dishes came. Table bread: They were soft and filled with olives but was super olive-forward Crispy Sushi (5/5): This was my favorite of the 3 appetizers. The spicy tuna was nicely seasoned and texture of the crispy rice was a unique bite. Tartare (4/5): The tuna was very fresh and lightly seasoned with soy and sesame. My only qualm was that it came with 2 pieces of bread. Angel Wings (4/5): This was such a unique presentation to your typical wings. The meat was tender but I felt that the tamarind glaze a bit too forward. Nevertheless, still good. Filet Mignon (+$25) (4/5): It was cooked perfectly to our requested medium-rare. They also kindly provided each of the 3 sauces (béarnaise being my favorite). I had wished that they seasoned the filet some more as it was pretty bland without the sauces. The mashed potatoes were smooth and had a slight butter taste. Chicken Milanese (4/5): While the exterior breading was done to a perfect crunch, the breading lacked flavor besides the butter it was fried in. Perhaps, the salad atop the chicken could have been dressed with something to balance out the tastes. Burger (4/5): The burger was beautifully seasoned and cooked to a medium as requested. The fries were cooked well done also as requested! The crunch was lovely but it lacked some flavor. The pickle was hardly pickled and more like a cucumber with some salt. The added cheese gave the burger a more savory finish. Banana Parfait (5/5): This was the star amongst the desserts (and probably of all the dishes!) Caramelized bananas are atop a bed of vanilla ice cream and caramel crust. The warmed bite was a welcomed balance to all the flavors. Strawberry Sundae (4/5): This was not overly sweet and the strawberry ice cream and flavors came through. The soft cream and cake was lovely. Molten Chocolate Cake (3/5): The cake was almost too bitter and not very sweet but was very rich. Perhaps the lack of flour compromised the texture. read more

With a lot of wedding planning underway (and some snags occurring), we decided to grab lunch here while waiting to discuss an alteration issue at Bloomingdale's. I digress... In comes this lovely restaurant/bar and it immediately put us in a good mood for brunch. Good eats (steak and eggs) and good beverages (mimosas). It was quiet and cozy for a lovely December Sunday. read more

We came here for a holiday meal and we had a lovely dinner at the T Bar. There are two floors at the restaurant which is an upgrade from their old location which was just one floor. It was a lively evening as there were many other families at the spot and the bar on the first floor was full. They have a good selection of appetizers. We got the pizza flatbread which we were able to choose between zucchini and margarita (we got a pizza with half and half). We also got a chicken soup and octopus as appetizers. The chicken soup my sister commented was delightful and the octopus was nice and tender. There also was olive bread and olive oil instead of normal bread and butter which we enjoyed with our appetizers before our entrees. For entrees, we all got a seafood dish. Even though T Bar is known to be a steakhouse, the fish we got was very good. We got two black sesame crusted tunas, branzino, and Chilean sea bass. I really enjoyed the Chilean sea bass and the branzino as they were warm and hearty dishes. The meaty branzino came with endives and capers and was very flavorful. The Chilean sea bass was laid on top of a bed of nicely cooked and seasoned bok choy. The tuna came on top of a bed of seaweed and was garnished with ginger. We also got three side dishes which were creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The creamed spinach and Mac and cheese were my favorite as they were both very rich. The mashed potatoes were also very good and creamy. Desserts were heavenly! (And I'm not usually a dessert girly) We got the banana parfait millefeuille with coconut and caramel sauce, a strawberry sundae shortcake with meringue, brandy and cream and a warm apple crisp that came with caramel drizzle and vanilla ice cream. The banana parfait was sooo amazing. The mille-feuille was delicious and crispy with nutty coconut flavors. There was vanilla ice cream in between the layers of crisp coconut cookie. And the caramelized bananas were delightful. The strawberry short cake was super moist and came with delicious strawberry ice cream and wonderfully sweet strawberries. There was also a crispy crunchy element with the meringue and there was also a big dollop of yummy whipped cream on top. The apple crisp was nice and warm but I would definitely rank the banana parfait and strawberry shortcake above the apple crisp. Overall we had a delicious meal with delightful desserts and the vibes were amazing for the evening. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food came out all at reasonable times. read more

Great spot for happy hour They have good deals on excellent drinks and food. The espresso martini is excellent. Tommy's Margarita is AMAZING! Tastes like the drink you would be having in your dreams at a beach side bar somewhere in the Caribbean. Whoever Tommy is, thank you very much for your Margarita recipe. The service here is excellent and the food is fabulous. Amazing atmosphere. A perfect date spot. Highly recommended. read more

Ah, T Bar, your old location was my favorite place to go with friends. We could always count on running into more friends, since pretty much everyone lived i the neighborhood, including my parents. I was crushed when you closed, and then thrilled to hear about your new location on 60th Street. Lisa and I met there, and obtained seats at the bar after a short wait for a second chair. The bartender who served us, a lovely young woman, was an absolute rock star. Wow. I had the Mezcal Mule to start. I usually just had a martini or V &T at the "old" T Bar, but the craft cocktails were SO tempting! Lisa had wine. We later shared the tuna tartare appetizer, which is TDF. SO yummy. And beautifully presented. We stayed for a while and imbibed a bit more. We didn't see anyone we knew, but the vibe is reminiscent of the old T Bar. Men in khakis and blazers, women in black leather pants. It's an elegant space. The bar has quite an impressive selection of tequila. I could easily try everything on the cocktail menu! There's seating in the bar area, and another dining area in the back. It's not open, like the old one. You go up a short flight. Very fun evening, and I look forward to returning. read more

So, the food here is good. When I go out to eat I like to have a combo of both ambience and food. This place checks both of those boxes. The inside feels modern. There a bar area with stools and booth, then other dining levels. There's steps involved to go anywhere other than the bar, so just keep that in mind on case anyone in your party has issues with stairs. Looks like there's private dining rooms upstairs too. It seems there's only 2 bathrooms in the entire place, and they are single use. I guess privacy is nice, but also can be annoying to have to wait. Due to the location, the clientele seems to be 30's, 40's+. I would say the demo seems to skew older. Not a good or bad thing, but just a good-to-know. Drink prices are ok. Not the cheapest thing, but around $20 a drink. Personally, if I went here again I think it would be to get a drink or two with a friend and order an appetizer, rather than the place to go on a Saturday night. But, overall I left this place with a neutral feeling. Not amazing, not horrible. read more

Everything starting with the proprietor He is insulting and an embarrassment to his own establishment as well as his bar staff who happen to to be fabulous They are to good for this establishment My husband & myself were neighborhood regulars but no longer Bye bye read more

Last night some friends and I ended up here for dinner. My friends had the sushi and fish.. I had watermelon/feta salad, which let me tell you was delicious! I had as a main chicken Milanese. It was a big portion! Took half home for left overs. I had a Moscow mule and it was a bit on the strong side and I have never seen it come in a tall glass. Usually they come in copper mugs. The atmosphere of this restaurant was nice. The only downside is that there are only two restrooms one upstairs and one on the main floor. read more

Had a great experience going to T Bar. My daughter is 6 turning 7 and has 11 food allergies that cause her to have anaphylactic reactions so up until this week she had never been able to eat out at a restaurant. I emailed 10 places to see if they could accommodate us as we were traveling to Manhattan to see Aladdin for her birthday from out of state. Only 1 responded at all and they said yes all within an hour of email contacting them. When I got there I discreetly gave a note to the waiter who discussed with the chef and were ready to help when we ordered. I didnt want my daughter to worry and not eat. Dinner and sides came and I ordered the same for myself and my daughter and everything was great. Much better than Daddy's steak at home I was told. I write this story to say thank you to TBar but also for anyone else who is in our situation. They made a little girl feel special and included when often I have to tell her she can't have something. read more

The new location is a bit more out of the neighborhood but its much larger and very nice. There are 2 floors with more seating and basically same menu as before. Service is very slow as you can tell they are getting the hang of things. Takes about an hr to get food. Some of the same staff is there which was nice to see. I hope they work on the service. The hostesses are lost and unprofessional. They made us wait 20 minutes even though there were plenty of tables and we had a reservation. They need to work on the turnover. I gave 4 stars because I am happy they are back. Food was good and so were the drinks. read more

Definitely recommend for happy hour cocktails. Beautiful bar, easy environment, you will wait for a restroom (there's one unisex bathroom on the main floor, which feels like strange placement for a nice place, but I digress), the staff is nice (though you can tell they're still training new bartenders, which adds to your wait time). Bar snack (guac and chips, sashimi) have SUPER small portions, so just keep that in mind. They were good, perfectly ok, tho not really shareable. read more

The food and service is great here. For apps I suggest the shrimp cocktail, burrata, and meatballs. For t-bone is great to share.

Great NYC atmosphere, food was excellent, drinks good, staff very pleasant highly recommend

Let me start by saying its a beautiful restaurant. The bar area is spacious and nice. The main dining area is stunning, but a bit small. Although I was satisfied with my meal, my date wasnt happy with the chicken wings and we had to send back his filet mignon to be properly seasoned (way too salty). The dessert was the highlight of my meal. The drinks were well made with a lovely presentation. My biggest qualm would be the service, we had to send someone to find our server on 3 occasions. There was at least 30 minutes of waiting time between each course which we only had 3. Also there is only 1 unisex bathroom on the main level and its in a very awkward place to have to wait for it to free up. If I were to return it would like just be for drinks at the bar. read more

A beautifully designed restaurant space which relocated from the upper east side. As you walk in, there is a bar on the right with spacious booths to the left and stairs in the back leading to the second level dining area. There is also a third level with a gorgeous cozy space. That's where we sat. We were given a corner table, which was very comfortable. We were there for Thanksgiving. I chose this place because unlike most New York restaurants on Thanksgiving, they offered food beyond what was on their prefix menu. I often find prefix menus very limiting. We were able to supplement our Thanksgiving meal from the prefix menu with mushroom risotto balls and mac & cheese from the regular menu. Both additions were excellent. The turkey from the prefix menu was exceptional - moist and flavorful. They served the turkey with delicious stuffing, cranberry and sweet potato. I would be remiss if I did not mention the incredible crabcake they served as an appetizer which was gigantic, perfectly crispy and expertly prepared. I ordered the pumpkin cheesecake which I was hesitant to do because I had never had it before. It was unbelievably delicious. My husband's apple tart was also incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant . Their wonderful food is matched by their gorgeous decor and excellent service. read more

T Bar - Lounge in the back. Perfect for a private dinner party. - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

Pretty (but a bit dark, windowless) restaurant in a midtown location I hadn't been to (used to like the 3rd Ave spot). Ordered a burger. Medium. Came totally overcooked and well done. They were nice and offered a replacement. But when you pay those prices you don't want your lunch partner to sit and eat alone while I wait for them to make another burger. So I ate half and left the rest. They should have comped me. The waiter who served us disappeared mid- service. It was a disappointment. I hear the owner died recently so maybe the quality has slipped I don't know. But I t's not on par with other restaurants of that level, and I probably won't be going back. read more

Good food and very accommodating. Had a very nice and pleasant evening with dear old friends

As a stay at home mom sometimes I go to places to find someone to talk to and relax. The hostess was so welcoming and helped me with Everything!

Great food, quality, & service. Highly recommend. Looking forward to our return visit.

Poor service, an unclean glass, a missing napkin, a coin toss as to receiving bread, dirty plates sitting on the table, steak not cooked as ordered, a poor selection (and volume) of background music...Yep, good help-- servers, bartenders, hosts, and chefs--is hard to find... The space is lovely, and the menu is well-structured. The food, when properly cooked and served, is fine. It is very early on, and Tony, as always, will eventually get it right. It could be great. Finger crossed... Outlook for Android read more

Tasty cocktail single shot doesn't fill the glass(2 for $55) before dinner. Caesar salad was tasty. The sea bass was a tad strong. The $30 burger is much better at del frescos. A couple glasses of Sancerre and you have a $200 dinner not including cocktails at the bar. The place is pretty and well decorated. The downstairs bar is a tad tight. $300 night out for too. Money well spent that's up to you. For me rather have amazing food and less of a scene but that's just me. read more

Perfect evening as always . Service and food is always excellent . A must to visit when your in NYC
