    Tuna Carpaccio
    Sarah L.

    Absolutely love The Dutch! I've visited here multiple times over the past few months and each time it has been just as great as the last. It's usually pretty busy, but thankfully they have a decent amount of seating both inside and out. My must orders here include the fries, calamari, and cookies! The roasted chicken is always cooked to perfection, and I also love their fried chicken. Whatever sauce is used on their tuna carpaccio is so good! Really can't go wrong here.

    Cornbread

    I had such a nice time at The Dutch this past weekend! I was so grateful they could accommodate our large party of seven on a Saturday night. We sat outside and it was lovely. The vibe out there is easy and relaxed but still feels nice. Our server was incredibly kind and knew the menu inside and out. He gave great recommendations and really took care of us. I tried the "Faux Daisy" mocktail to start with and really enjoyed it! Not too sweet, felt like a real cocktail, with a nice hit of orange bitters. My only tiny gripe is I wish there was a little more of it... the ice takes up half the glass, and it's gone in like three sips, but hey, maybe that's just how cocktails go. The cornbread (scallion/chipotle) was really good with amazing butter, though the chipotle flavor was very mild. Our server told us the place is known for their burgers, fried chicken, and hanger steak with house-made kimchi which I thought was so cool. It did take a while for our food to come out, but since we were a big group, I get it. When it arrived, everything came out hot and together, which I appreciate. The burger was good! It was a solid, classic good burger. Didn't blow my mind, but it was flavorful and solid. The hanger steak though? Phenomenal. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, balanced, with that kimchi, rice, and egg on top... I loved it! My boyfriend was kind enough to share some with me :). The hot honey fried chicken was another standout. Huge portion, totally sharable, and packed with flavor. The fries were like elevated McDonald's fries in that they were thin and crispy, but felt fancy too! I wasn't wild about all the sides being $14... though I know it's NYC. That felt a little steep for 3 pieces of broccolini, but everything we tried was great quality. The duck meatloaf was a fun surprise too. I don't eat duck, but the others said it was amazing and surprisingly mild in duck flavor, so if you're duck-averse, you might still like it. The service overall was just top-notch. You can tell everyone cares about the food and the experience. The ingredients feel high-quality and intentional. It's definitely more of a "nice night out" kind of meal (probably around $50 a person at a minimum). I'd absolutely come back for the vibes, chicken, and steak lol. Be prepared for/to... - Spend a little more than a casual dinner, but get high-quality food in return. - Be impressed by how knowledgeable and kind the staff are. - Get addicted to the fries (big portion and easy to share!!) - A streamlined, somewhat seafood-heavy menu

    Just a good spot for catching up with friends. Some people were in jeans and sneakers, others in sport coats and heels. It really is a place for everybody! The food was good, but only two things I had were memorable. The corn bread (SOOOOO good, wish I ordered more!) and the oysters. We ordered 3 of each option they were offering that day, and to be honest I usually can't taste too much of a difference in what bay the oyster was from. These tasted so fresh, the difference between each bay was night and day! Blindfolded I would be able to distinguish them which for me is a feat because I normally can't. The drinks were also really good, not too weak, not too strong, just right!

    Chinatown Calamari
    Sawako Y.

    We came to the Dutch last night and had a tasty, enjoyable dinner. It was lovely evening out, so we chose to dine outside. It's on the sidewalk with a lot of foot traffic, which was fine except for the occasional smell of smoke. Also, a bug flew into my rosé, but the server kindly replaced it and gave me a coaster to cover it. For food, we ordered the following for 2 to share: - The Prince Platter - Chinatown Calamari - Lemon Roasted Cod - Potato Purée The Prince Platter was nicely presented with oysters (4 kinds x3 each), jumbo shrimp (4 pieces) and lobster salad. I especially like the jumbo shrimp, which were fresh and very plump. The Chinatown Calamari was more like a calamari salad, with cucumbers, carrots and bean sprouts. The calamari was lightly breaded and perfectly fried, which I loved. We didn't try the famous fried chicken, but will have to next time. The Lemon Roasted Cod was a nice, colorful dish and the Potato Puree is a must try for any creamy mashed potato lovers. Our servers were attentive and it was a great meal overall. Inside looked cozy, too, especially for winter months or when it's too hot to dine outside.

    I've been stressed lately. Going through it. In the blender. Just a lot going on, personally and professionally. One of the main stressors being this big deal at work I've legit been chasing for a year. It's been a journey. This client is so hot and heavy one day, then just ghosts me for months. The team knew I was stressing and down bad, as the client said he was going to sign last week and then went radio silent, so they took me to lunch here at the Dutch to take my mind off it. Everyone got a round of drinks, I just stuck with water because alcohol at this point may have sent me past the event horizon. A random thunderstorm began to pour down outside as if to match my mood. As I was sitting there in the beautiful interior of the Dutch feeling sorry for myself, I got a text from the client that read "Did you get the signed contract back?" My heart sank into my chest. I showed my work bestie and we silently walked outside while looking at each other like "oh my god... is this about to finally happen?" I called him in the hallway, as I didn't have anything in my email. I stayed on the phone with him as he re-sent it, and when it came through, me and my homie SPRINTED into the pouring rain chest bumping and hugging. I love that mf. If I saw a movie where this happened, I would have thought it was beyond corny. "That would never happen..." We came back inside drenched in rainwater, and ordered champagne and a round of tequila shots for everyone. We proceeded to get LOADED at 2pm on a Thursday. It was beautiful. Sales SUCKS a lot of the time so you gotta celebrate the wins, and boy did we. Our server, Celeste, was so confused about the vibe shift but just rolled with it like a champ. Big shoutout to Celeste. She's the good luck. I demolished this 8oz dry aged burger and fries, washing it down with tequila on the rocks. I also had half of my big homies AC fried chicken, which was delectable. Full transparency though, anything would have tasted good at this point. If my 20s taught me anything, it's to never tie my self worth to a 9-5 job, but this one felt good I can't even lie. If you ever need to switch the vibe up, roll through to the Dutch. It's much more effective than burning some sage... IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

    Terrible service- tons of ppl standing around; a few rushing around NOT answering your questions/needs; have to ask for things multiple times (and still not get them); plates sitting there empty then ages later someone finally comes around and asks if they can clear an empty plate; upon ordering new food there is no utensil and THEN they ask you "do you need a fork"? This is simply ridiculous, and exhausting. OH additionally the place is hot and stuffy. Really uncomfortable. And unnecessary crowding-- they seated a LOUD party right next to us (in a sparse restaurant) and thus could no longer hear anything. Whyyyyy. Update- thank you for your messages, April- my friend still really loves this restaurant, so hopefully this will be better!

    Lobster Tagliolini
    Jaida F.

    Caught up with my long time friends at the Dutch last night (and yes we did go Dutch at the Dutch ‍)! One of the besties is married to one of their chefs, so when the staff saw that we were coming the made sure to make our night super special Everything was DELICIOUS, we spilt some appetizers (oysters, broccolini, tuna carpaccio, wagyu beef tartare, whipped fava dip) and not a single one disappointed. The tuna was definitely my favorite out of all the stuff we shared, The calamari and slaw that it came with was also out of this world! For my entree, I got the lobster tagliolini and everything about it was perfect. I usually like to add black pepper or crushed red pepper to my pasta but this didn't event need it and the lobster was so tender we finished off dinner with some lovely dessert options including their infamous chocolate chip cookies! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to catch up over good food, good drinks with some of your favorite people and look good while doing it

    Chamomile Highball
    Carina H.

    The Chamomile Highball surprisingly tasted like a cocktail rather than a mocktail. I wouldn't say that it reminded me of chamomile as much as I'd say it tasted like it used healthy ingredients. As an appetizer, the Tuna Carpaccio and Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail -- while good -- didn't stand out amongst the appetizers compared to the calamari. The Chinatown Calamari was the best calamari I'd ever had, mostly because of the unique mix of vegetables that gave the calamari a less heavy and oily taste. The Citrus Glazed Salmon was flavorful, although it was cooked just a bit less than I like it. I was disappointed by the meat to salad ratio, but the plate was filling. The staff frequently checked in on our table. The dining space was comfortable, spaced out from the other tables.

    Walked by this place & decided to come here for brunch. We got the fried chicken, black hanger steak and cornmeal flapjacks. All the food tasted decent, flapjacks were a little dry but the blueberry syrup made it better. We really enjoyed the fried chicken with their homemade hot sauce & honey butter biscuits as well as the hanger steak with kimchi fried rice- both dishes were cooked perfectly. Prices were definitely on the higher end, service was excellent- our server, Jennifer was very friendly & attentive, and overall, it was worth trying.

    Harrison C.

    Wow! I love this place. The atmosphere was charming, the energy was electric, and the staff was warm and welcoming. The food was out of this world. We got the duck meatloaf, and some of the best fried chicken. I absolutely loved the elevated, modern twist. They took on classic food. To top it all off, the dirty martini was one of the best I've ever had.

    AC's Hot Fried Chicken
    Kensie E.

    Definitely gets a little busy around dinner time, it was a tight squeeze with 3 people. The chicken and fries are a must order, you can pass on the butternut squash hummus and calamari.

    Grapefruit Brûlée, Crab Deviled Eggs
    Jabari B.

    I would return, but today was mid. Made a Resy for brunch on a Sunday for 2 PM for 2 guests and was seated immediately. A/C wasn't working well so it was a bit stuffy. Excellent service. Pleasant, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. We ordered the grapefruit vanilla brûlée, crab deviled eggs, flapjacks, and lobster frittata. I enjoyed all of these things but would run back to none of them. And they were all made well enough that I'd be interested to know how they execute other things on the menu (like the famous chicken or the steak). Cocktails were solid. My friend loved the Jitney Julep and my favorite was the Oaxacan Sunset (both of which were spirit forward). A busy spot with great service and solid food! If you have a group be sure to make a reservation. I would definitely come back.

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.

The Thick Cut Bacon (8.5/10) was sweet, crunchy, and cooked perfectly. The Wagyu Cheeseburger (7.5/10) tasted good, but the bun was too dry, dense, and oversized for the burger. The King Crab Rangoon (8/10) was packed with crab, almost too much for my taste, but the sweet chili and hot mustard sauces balanced it out nicely. The Espresso Martini (6/10) was a pretty standard espresso martini. The Long Island Cold Brew (3/10) tasted like cold brew mixed with vodka, which just wasn't for me. Service was fine overall (7/10). The highlight was the complimentary sorbet they brought out for my friend's birthday. The vibes were classic Hogsalt with dim lighting, old-school jazz, and a cozy atmosphere (7/10).

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

    Figured it's been a year so I'd update my review. Overall the Corner Store is still hard to get…read moreinto and still worth the hype, although portions have definitely shrunk. Did an earlier dinner on a Saturday with a friend at the bar. We got some similar items, some different. The thing I kept the same was my martinis and all three (sour cream and onion, tomato, and espresso) were just as amazing as ever. Food-wise, I stuck mainly to the classics with one new dish: - Pizza rolls: Very good but 3 pizza rolls for $20 felt small to me. I feel like I remember seeing others served more when I've gone in the past, but not completely sure. They're nostalgic and fun, nothing to die for. - Fries: Great as ever, we opted for just one of the sauces (avocado dill). - French Dip: This used to be cut in 3 pieces and now it's 2. Works well with a duo but I do think it's actually a little smaller now than before when I compare photos. - Samoa sundae: Still amazing, still so so worth. It was fun going with a friend who hadn't been before and seeing the joy upon trying the dish! Bar service is friendly as always and they do a decent job moving you along to ensure the necessary turnover without feeling too rushed.

    Finally made it. Took the advice of others and arrived a little before 3pm. They start taking names…read morefor the cancellation line at 4:30. We were texted at 5:15 a spot at the bar was available. We were thrilled! Started with the sour cream & onion martini which i enjoyed and comes with a small side of chips. The musts: The caesar salad is outstanding. Tons of cheese. The fried cream cheese croquettes. The everything bagel croutons! The five cheese pizza rolls -yes! Wagyu French Dip served with au jous - outstanding Lobster & Caviar Roll Sour cream & onion martini Ok: French fries are fine. A little salty. Saoma sundae - lots of coconut Skip: Spinach & Artichoke Dip - meh. Had better at Applebees. The sauce trio for the fries - all were too salty. The service is outstanding. Everything was on point even though we sat at the bar. The attention to detail is great. Our course were staggered and we never felt rushed. Now is it worth showing up 2+ hour in advance hoping to get in. I don't think so. Once they hype dies down and you can book a reservation check it out.

    Had reservations for 2 on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. We got there about three…read moreminutes late, but they seated us within 5 minutes in a booth. It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

    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.

    Went to Zou Zou's for a little bday celebration with gfs and had a great time. Not to mention,…read morethere was such a sweet little bday care when we got to the table. So thoughtful, and such a great touch to start the evening for us. We decided to order the family style menu and we enjoyed the whole dinner. All of the dishes on the menu were really good and great price for $74pp. I wish we had a 4th in our party so we couldve had the duck, but we'll definitely be returning to do so. The dips were so good and so fresh! I think all of the dishes were perfectly seasoned. I get sad when dishes are overly seasoned or overly salty. Oh, and im not much of a sweet tooth, but their dessert was marvelous and the sweetness was balanced so nicely.

    Came back here for dinner largely to get the cheesecake. It's certainly unique and huge - both this…read moreand the caramelized pineapple could feed 4 people each. The cheese is on the lighter side and the textural combination is nice, sort of like a baklava cheesecake but crispier and lighter. I like heavier cheesecakes though. Drinks: golden negroni was spot on, but didn't like the sangria. They had a medjool cocktail that went off the menu to my disappointment. Appetizers: the octopus carpaccio was the best and I'd order again. The tuna tartare was a little too heavy on the sauce flavor, and the golden beets were unmemorable. The yellowtail was good I think, but didn't stand out either. Mains: the duck borek has more of a sausage like meat texture. I thought it was decent but the meat being duck didn't do much and I've had better boreks in Astoria. It comes with a vegetable side that is a nice offset. I tried a friend's lamb chops and this was really good with the cooked cherries.

The moment you step inside, you're transported to the Victorian era, with ornate details and charming décor that make the entire space feel like an experience in itself. We stopped in before a show without a reservation and, while the dining room was full, we were able to grab seats at the bar. Honestly, I think it worked out for the best--the bar felt more spacious than the table seating and had a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere for a Wednesday afternoon. The mocktails were as creative as they were delicious, and the cocktail menu offered plenty of tempting options as well. The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and impressively efficient, striking that perfect balance of great service without constantly interrupting your conversation. We shared the sliders and the summer salad, and both were generously portioned and perfect for splitting. Between the beautiful setting, excellent drinks, and seamless service, this is definitely a place I'll be returning to.
