I came here for weekend brunch, and it was packed--definitely make a reservation! I had the smoked cheeseburger with a single patty, and it was fantastic--juicy and cooked perfectly medium. I loved every bite! I also ordered a side of Buffalo tater tots, but they were just okay--I'd say you could probably skip them. read more

Very good variety of food. Burgers, pizza, tacos, comfort food (Shepherds pie, mac & cheese). All was tasty. We were stuck back in a corner and somewhat forgotten. Service not great. And, the music was way too loud. I liked the music, but very hard to have a conversation. Club music. read more

This was probably the best spot I visited while in New York. The music was on point, the ambiance had just the right dim lighting and a fun vibe, and the food was absolutely superb. The service was friendly and welcoming. And for brunch--the bottomless mimosas were straight fire! read more

My friends and I came on a Friday night and the bar had a DJ and plenty of seating. The cocktail in the tea pot was so cute! It easily serves two, but is also not too much for one. The cocktail itself tasted like juice. read more

We came for the brunch and it didn't disappoint. The music is on point here. Their prohibition vibe is overt but not gimmicky. The wait staff was on top of our every need. For me, I usually don't like super thick pancakes. These were thick but I cannot even describe to you how freaking delicious they were. You must get your hands on a stack. The drinks were great as well. Coming back for brunch again. read more

Stopped in for a drink and a bite before a show. Sat at the bar. Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was wonderful. Our bartender was super impressive and super friendly. We asked all kinds of questions about what he was making and he answered without being annoyed We split a truffle Mac and cheese and boy was it probably the best I've ever eaten. Will definitely be back next time we are in NYC. read more

Still a great spot to meet up. This was the first bar I went to when I first moved to New York and I remembered balking at the prices. I was like, the cost of these drinks would've been two meals in the Bay. Now, 9ish years later, I was pleased to see how affordable this spot was! My tastes have also changed. Its no longer the best old fashioned I've ever had. That title belongs to the Cote Fashioned now. That said, this was my first espresso Boulevardier and it hit the spot like no other. Don't miss their buffalo tater tots and their light and airy fries. The Mocktail I had was mostly ice so I guzzled it in one sip. Good thing it had zero alcohol in it. read more

They make a really good southside here! That's the first thing i need to include in this review. There's the main floor then a downstairs bar, by where the bathrooms are. The downstairs one closes before upstairs. I didnt get to check out downstairs, just poked around while i was waiting for the bathroom. Upstairs is very loud and it was crowded around midnight. I initially sat at the bar but was absolutely yelling into the ear of the friend i went with. As people left we went to a table at the back and it was much quieter. The bar itself has decor, dimly lit with warm cozy lighting. The people are friendly and bartender is nice. I would return! read more

My wife and I went in for dinner after a Broadway show. On the way in the door, the door guy said he saw my wife stumble and she couldn't come in because he was worried she was drunk??? We literally just went to a Broadway show and haven't been drinking.? But yet he felt she was so intoxicated and did not let her in even though they had drunk people struggling the front door. read more

Happy birthday to meeee!!! Came to Tanner Smiths on a whim looking for a great bottomless brunch for my birthday and I am so happy we stumbled on this spot it will now be on rotation!! Brona was an amazing attentive server who kept the drinks flowing to keep my buzz and belly happy! I was a little skeptical about trying the Reali-tea Check cocktail but she gave her scouts honor that I would enjoy it and let me tell you it ended up being my favorite drink!!! (Also served in a cute little teacup helps a lot) For our entrees I couldn't decide between the Huevos Rancheros or the Crispy Potato, bacon & cheddar skillet and Brona suggested the crispy potato skillet as it would keep me fuller for longer and man was she right again!! The potato skins were a bit too crispy for my liking but it was delicious nonetheless. My bestie ended up getting the Brussel Sprouts Hash but it was very lackluster. It was basically just shredded Brussel sprouts with a fried egg on top. Delicious cuz we love Brussel sprouts but nothing more to it. We also decided to share the Pancakes as that was one of their top sellers and boy oh boy I can see why. That was the star of the show for this meal!! The pancakes were so fluffy but had this crisp edge so it was a textural delight!!! And the soft whipped butter and delicious topping was just chefs kiss! By the end of the meal the 90 min bottomless brunch was looking dim because I was wayyy too full but I decided to "break the seal" and the bathroom experience was a pleasant surprise. The wallpaper in the ladies bathroom was adorable and the flowers on the ceiling were so cute ! The "you can't be half a gangster" quote left me curious as I saw It a few times in the restaurant so my curiosity enticed me to ask and the story of Tanner Smiths was revealed. I'll keep it short and sweet. Basically Tanner Smith was a gangster back in the old days and ended up getting arrested for one of his crimes. While doing time he decided he wanted to leave his life of crime and switch his life around. When he got out of prison he opened up his own orphanage and tried to stay low. On one fateful night he was enjoying a cocktail at a speakeasy and was shot in the back by an unknown assailant which we could only assume was old gang rivals getting their revenge. Sooo you really can't be half a gangster....... read more

I've been here once for a book signing that was happening upstairs. It's a cool loft-like upper floor that overlooks the rest of the bar downstairs. Can't speak to the service or drinks since I was there for a private event, but the place is very large & well laid out. Dark wood, pubby type of place. read more

Small amount of GF items. All GF items were clearly labeled. The meals are hot and fresh. Sundays, one must have a reservation due to the bottomless cocktails Staff was very attentive . The ambiance was rustic. The 4/5 stars is only in reference for Gluten free dinners read more

Nice chilled place to grab drinks or a bite. Ambiance is lively, rowdy, happening. The service was good. I sis find my meatballs to be salty though. Easily could have mainly been the bacon it was wrapped into because that stood out. Overall, I liked the experience, it's my second time popping in. read more

Tooker Ally was buzzing on a Friday night. You have to go to the basement level of the restaurant for the speakeasy/prohibition vibe. Great mood lighting (not the best for selfies), interesting dangling crochet chandeliers and a few neon words thrown in the mix. And they're serving cocktails in teapots. Honestly, I couldn't put my finger on the vibe, but I liked it. Bartenders were dressed pretty spiffy and quick to take orders. I would say that despite the teapot being something different, I didn't really fancy the cocktail so much. Nothing really special- not strong/special effects or flavors. So I felt like I could drink it all by myself but they have the oversized ice cube that takes up 90% of the teacup. You'll really have a tea party because you have to constantly pour your pot. But, those are first world problems. Flatbread was pretty good, but I'll recommend to go early. My friend came around 6:30pm and couldn't get her fries order before our museum date. It took over 30 minutes and still didn't arrive. Besides that, I'll be back to try something else. Service/presentation was good prior So definitely sit at the bar. read more

A fine after show spot. Easy to get in. Fine bar food. We've stopped in a few times with varying levels of service read more

Great experience here. I ordered the dry aged burger and husband got the smoked cheese burger. Both were good, his was better. Deviled eggs were amazing. The star of the night though were the drinks. You MUST order the mezcal inferno! Service was subpar as our waiter never came back to see us. I wound up getting one of the other servers to get us another round of drinks and some ketchup. But I'd still go back for the drinks. FYI: this place plays very loud music so don't expect to be able to have a conversation. read more

We sat at the bar on a Sunday as we popped in for Lunch. Service was just okay-we werent told we could put our names on a list when that was an option -eventually we squeezed in at the bar. I ordered a cucumber cocktail which I didn't enjoy bc the lime flavor was overwhelming. I got a grilled chicken sandwich which was really a bread sandwich since the chicken only filled up half the bread. I did enjoy the hummus that it was paired with. My dining partner had the chicken and waffles and liked it a lot. The bathroom Decor was super beautifully done but didn't match rest of the restaurant which was giving Irish bad vibes. All in all I would pick another place for brunch personally. read more

The food is surprisingly great Ahi tuna salad so so good Loved the vibe and great sandwiches too Service was fast no wait Loved everything about this place read more

Themed around being a speak easy this place has a great ambiance. For drinks I ordered the Winona and my wife had the Gutshot. For dinner I had the grilled chicken sandwich and my wife had the shrimp tacos. I thought it was good but once I saw my bill I wondered if it was worth the price. read more

It had a turn-of-the-20th-century ambiance, dark wood everywhere, very crowded and noisy. We were seated immediately at 6 PM on a Friday night with no reservation. The waitress was excellent and able to get me a lightning connector for my phone which I had forgotten. Food was good, my friend had the grilled chicken sandwich and I had Mezze and salad. The Mezze were hummus with fried chickpeas in it , delicious, along with babaganoush and a beet dip that I liked slightly less. It came with mounds of vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, radish and pita bread. The side salad was fresh baby greens with tasty oil and vinegar dressing. We did not drink this evening but the cocktail choices were epic. Unfortunately this restaurant/bar is completely inaccessible. There are only high tables in the front, the low tables are up a flight of about five stairs and the bathroom is down a steep flight of stairs. Ordinarily I wouldn't go here because of that, but I went to the bathroom elsewhere beforehand, and I can just make five steps if I have to. read more

Well I have mixed feelings and I would really like to give a five star rating , but just can't. First the positives. The interior is very warm, inviting and attractive. Low lights and cozy feeling. A nice bar and various sections to eat at tables. Has a nice menu with many vegetarian options. I appreciate putting a bottle of water on the table as well. I had probably the best vegiburger I have ever had. They make it " in house" and I really enjoyed it! The vegiburger was $20 and it would have been nice to have like a little salad or fries come with it. Next the negative: we were having lunch before a 2 pm play and so we needed the food to be delivered in timely manner. Three of the meals came in reasonable time and so, since we had a play to make and figured the fourth dish would arrive soon, we began to eat. We all finished our meal and still NO fourth meal. We asked repeatedly for the meal and what was happening? Staff was very pleasant, and said repeatedly, that it will come as soon as ready. We never really got an explanation as to the delay. Keep in mind that the restaurant was relatively empty at this time, really not busy. Finally our 4 th person, said, just cancel the order and give me a roll to eat, so we can leave. They finally brought the salad, 40 minutes after ordering. The manager came over, did apologize and took it off the bill, which was reasonable. But this whole thing definitely ruined our dining experience. Waiting and having to keep asking for the meal to be delivered. So, due to the slow service, which we were never given an explanation, I don't think I would return. ( although I have to say, I really LOVED that vegiburger!). Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures due to being in a hurry. read more

Came here for a snack after a matinee show. Had drinks & bar food. Order the chicken nuggets & the egg rolls. The chicken nuggets were a little too hard & overcook. The egg roll was good.

Stumbled in here after visiting Central Park looking for a delicious drink in the warmth and dang did we get lucky. We sat at the bar where they were doing happy hour ,$35 for 3 hours of all you can drink of various types of drinks. I opted for old reliable, an old fashioned, and i wasn't disappointed at all. The food they offer is very good as well and i had the chicken wings fried hard. It's not a loud place and offers a variety of tables to sit at whether it be a date or a group of friends meeting up. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed one of my favorite brunch hotspots in NYC! We just Loooooove Tanner Smiths! We've been coming here since before the pandemic, having lucked upon it with a quick yelp search. The Gatsby era speakeasy vibe is perfectly done. It's wonderful fun. Come when they have live music for even more ambience. I've had brunch as well as evening drinks and it's a different experience at night. Today, we came for Sunday brunch again. It never disappoints! The cocktails are finely crafted, some with a cool spin on presentation. The brunch items are served up with great care in plating and substance. WOE factor abounds and the crowd is eclectic and friendly. All the deco and architecture add to the mystique. Even the gaslight style restrooms downstairs are cool (& clean). Don't miss it next time you are in town. At Tanner Smith, a real gangster-it's all good! read more

Stumbled upon this place while doing some shopping , we were starving and Tanner got the job done . Staff was welcoming and polite , service was just a little too slow tho. For food we ordered shrimp toast sliders which were very good. The bread was so soft. Vietnamese crab chips were very good too , love the touch of jalapeño on it . Last be bbq brisket nachos. So very good. Everything was fresh and we were def full. The menu changes, not sure how often but it does. Always some cool items on the menu. read more

Came here for brunch. I love the ambiance at this place! It's dark and cozy with exposed brick and cool decor. I loved the big screen tv displaying a lit fireplace. And the downstairs bathroom is beautiful! It has all flowers covering the ceiling, I love the (I assume) hand painted art on the walls. And it smelled amazing. The waitress was super nice, patient, and attentive. She came around to check on us the right amount- not too little and not too much. I'd say the food is overpriced. I got the hot chicken sandwich with tater tots, NOT realizing it would cost a whopping $27. The sandwich was ok, but not worth $27- it was nothing amazing or spectacular. My friend ordered the tuna nicoise salad ($21) but didnt enjoy it at all. She didnt like the tuna and said the egg was cold and slimy. My cocktails were $18 each, and small, but very tasty. I got the Café Society and I definitely recommend if you wanna shell out $18 per drink. It tasted like coffee ice cream! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but it was worth a try and overall a good experience. read more

Solid spot for drinks with friends or colleagues. I liked how large the space was and it didn't seem that busy although it was. Cocktails were okay and food was good but expensive. I loved the space but the issue is the service. Just too slow to get a drink and to get your food. I would recommend and come back but consider the slow service. read more
