    Nachos for 2
    Amanda D.

    Came in for Happy Hour, to be honest probably wouldn't come back. The drink options are okay, the prices ($8 for a well) was why we picked it. They were strong but I couldn't drink more then one, not balanced at all. We ordered the nachos for two. On a positive note the pork carnitas was very good. If the rest of the nachos were as good, the rest of the nachos was just sad. It's like they think throwing on a fancy radish (watermelon radish) and some micro greens is going to impact the taste. When the cheese is siezed up the minute we get it and half the chips don't even have cheese, the rest of the nachos is just sad. In the photo I took, literally took jt when it came out, the cheese was already hard and sad. Should have ordered the carnitas tacos instead.

    So, I came back here with some of my former co-workers because it's still nearby my old work. The beer selection has definitely tried to go more local and I appreciate that, a lot more NY state and city beers. My last review mentioned how I hadn't tried the food here yet and this time I was both hungry and thirsty. I started out getting the Sunset Park sliders, and really liked the pickles in it. I was still hungry so I went with the kimchi dog and I was super prepared to hate it. I really hate the 'let's just put kimchi on everything' school of thought to upgrade pub food. I was pretty surprised at it, the kimchi was really good, and the chili sauce added a spicier kick that was balanced out well by the mayo. The upgraded beer list and after having tried the food out is an added star from me.

    Meet a friend here for drinks we got here just in time to grab a table right before the place got a bit crowded, late happy hour was our reason for stopping by. Drinks we started with w the Brooklyn lager pumpkin ale beer this was great, nice & cold. Next we gave the beer flight a try our choices were Kelso, Ommegang , Montauk brewery & the Brooklyneer ... they line them up from dark to light to begin the Kelso nut brown lager not bad decent taste, next the Ommegang not sure what rare vos is? But this one was great tasting my fav of the 4 the Montauk brewery was ok wasn't too crazy about the after taste & the Brooklyneer Cider tasted more like wine w bubbles. We gave the Cheddar pretzel a try good pretzel nice & warm, good dipping sauce liked the honey mustard dressing. Small place, interesting mixed crowd... good music playing. Service was good & prices were not bad we enjoyed our drinks.

    Spicy Kimchi Dog
    Auggie L.

    Went for Good Beer Passport Dinner Food - 4/5. The hot dog was pretty plain; no real crispiness to the skin or meaty texture. The toppings were great with the kimchi adding a refreshing umami flavor while the mayonnaise and dollops of hot sauce added creaminess and spice. Service - 5/5. The bartender was very friendly and explained to us every draft beer with great detail. He made recommendations with great patience and offered to have the hot dog cut. Great service! Value - 4/5. It's a pretty average hotdog but for $6, it's not bad. Great for a quick little bite. Parking - Street (Free)

    So originally my group of friends and I were going to hit the beer hall down the street. Unfortunately there was a private event. In a panic, we whipped out our phones to search Yelp, and this place, which was literally 100 ft away, had the highest reviews and topped the list. Went in, they had a great $20 pitcher special and I watched Tiger Woods Saturday session for the Master's. Would definitely go back here.

    Very chillll bar with possibly the best nachos I have ever had in my life - get it with the chicken you won't regret it .... the Love margarita they had on their menu was a little too sweet from the pineapple -- I highly suggest the rosemary greyhound instead and sub out the liquor for your choice . The veggie burger was also the best veggie burger I ever had in my life ??? I honestly couldn't believe how good it was . My friend even ordered one for himself after tasting it. The bar here gets really crowded so expect to wait to order a drink, I waited about 20 mins before the bartender took my order. They have a photo booth in the back so come with friends and take some pics ! Nice spot to just catch up

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

    Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with two mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

    The truffle monkey bread while a total carb and calorie bomb was delicious and left a lasting…read moreimpression. It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

In our case, a friend who is six years sober. After 30 minutes the wine still wasn't at the table. Our server said Nate the wine director was working on it. 30 is too long with no communication and I don't think Nate exists. Never saw them. The wine, clearly forgotten, just showed up finally. The Food: Stuffed garlic flatbread was excellent. Lasagna for two was great. Lobster for two was out (disappointing but understandable). Subbed the chicken and gnocchi instead. Chicken was good, gnocchi was a miss. The broccolini was a no show. Ordered, asked about it and it finally arrived. Like the wine, no apology just an excuse. Someone else's fault. Overall, high expectations left with disappointment. I'm trying to be fair here as many misses were no one's fault but the controllable ones shouldn't have happened. Especially with Michelin recognition. I'm sorry Don Angie.

My wife had the fried chicken sliders, which unfortunately were pretty unmemorable. The chicken really could have benefited from more seasoning. Service was average, not bad by any means, but nothing that stood out either. Overall I'd give it 3.5 stars, I'm glad I finally tried Au Cheval and the burger was definitely good, but considering all the hype, I was a little let down by the overall experience. I'll have to try the original Chicago location at some point for comparison!

The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good. It came with a little side of rustic chips. I would not come back for the food but I would possibly go back to try a drink if I was in the area. The drink menu looked pretty good.

    Don't always believe Yelp reviews--especially coming from a Yelp Elite--so let's set the record…read morestraight! First off, just a quick note for anyone looking: this restaurant is not halal. Aside from that, we had a fantastic experience here at Friedmans Herald Square near Penn Station. They were playing Hilary Duff music, which was such a fun touch since they often match the vibe of whatever is happening at MSG! They even had special Hilary Duff mocktails. The atmosphere is super sweet and cozy. The restaurant was empty when we first walked in, but the second we sat down, it completely packed up! The waiter was very friendly, and even though they weren't able to split the check at the table, they did provide an itemized receipt to make figuring it out easy. The food was great overall--the Mac & Cheese bites and the corn were especially good! We also tried the cheesecake and molten cake. Plus, the neighbors sitting next to us were so sweet. A wonderful spot with a fun vibe!

    Came on a busy Thursday morning at nine am. Got a decaf iced vanilla latte and a nova Benny and the…read moreMac and cheese. And lemme just say the food came out sooo quick. The Benedict was so delicious. I've never had it on a crispy hash brown type before. It was good and a massive portion. Mac and cheese was alright, though I would probably opt out of it next time. I was so full I totally forgot to drink my latte but the latte was good too. Ambiance was nice clean and very busy.

    Busy spot near Hudson Yards with delicious food - glad we had a reservation. The weather cooperated…read moreand we were able to enjoy their large outdoor patio. 10/10 recommend starting with the dip tower; the whipped ricotta and kabocha squash dips were my favorite, and I loved that they offered pita and veggies for dipping. We shared a few other things, but be warned (in a good way) that the Moroccan Fried Chicken for Two serves WAY more than two! Service was attentive and we didn't feel rushed. Although it was a little pricey, I'd definitely go back.

    5/5 Stars -- An absolute gem in Manhattan West!…read more If you are looking for an incredible spot to bring a group of friends, Zou Zou is it. The ambiance is vibrant and chic, the crowd is great, and the overall vibe is just unmatched. Highlights: The Food: Exceptional across the board. We ordered the brussels sprouts (which were out of this world and cooked to perfection), the branzino fish, and crafted drinks. The flavors are phenomenal. The Service: The staff went above and beyond. A special shout-out to the incredible waitstaff and the attentive water service person who constantly kept our glasses filled--such a thoughtful touch. Our waiter was also exceptionally kind and welcoming. The Ambiance: Gorgeous decor with a warm, upscale energy that makes for a fantastic night out. Tips for future diners: Reservations are a must: Make sure to book ahead, especially if you are eyeing the gorgeous booths (note that the booths are designed to comfortably seat groups of up to 8 people). Family-style dining: While we didn't order it this time, they do offer a leg of the lamb that feeds 8, making it a stellar option for larger gatherings. I'll definitely be returning with more friends. Highly recommended!
