    This is my second review of this spot because it's honestly just so so good! It's so cozy and feels like you're on the Orient Express , transported into the dreamiest location. Pure perfection. Even though it feels so exclusive, the staff make you feel like you are part of their family. So helpful, from the second you step inside. The Olive Oil Old Fashioned was still my favorite drink even though the Last Word was spectacular as well. Our friends agreed that the Dirty Martini was the best they've had. We fasted all day just to be able to eat a little bite of most of the menu items. I've been dreaming about the corn and the steak and it was just as good as I remembered. 100/10 for every aspect of this experience. Kudos to Claude our server.....just amazing.

The ambiance is like no other in the city there's so much history and the waiters are very very knowledgeable and explain everything to you! It was truly an amazing experience.

    So where do I begin?! I thought that The Eighty Six was going to be one and done for me (been there, done that), but I was so wrong. The Eighty Six is almost perfect. The room is beautiful, the cocktails are great and food is amazingly delicious. The truly defining aspect of The Eighty Six is the incredible service. It was a wonderful experience and we will be back.

    Absolutely INCREDIBLE!! I don't think there is a better restaurant in the city. From the green door opening to stepping inside the swanky yet chic decor was fabulous. The whole place is a vibe with an excellent crowd. The history behind the establishment alone was pretty wild. The service was Beyond and we thank Leigh so much for everything, she is such a delight. The martinis were flowing through the night and I recommend all of them. The pickles In the beginning are a great digestive. We are still thinking about the shrimp as well as the lobster pasta. The caviar churros are a must order. Honestly the entire menu is a must order. This brand simply understands the perfection execution of hospitality.

There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

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.

    I Ordered the Lobster Roll Twice. No Regrets…read more The Corner Store at Houston and West Broadway has been on my list forever, and it did not disappoint. The hype is real and then some. Let's start with the Lobster and Caviar Roll. Maine lobster, brioche, caviar. It is genuinely one of the best bites I have had in this city, and I say that as someone who eats out constantly. I ordered a second one. Zero shame. Truly an all-timer. The crudo was equally impressive: delicate, pristine, and light in a way that made you want to slow down and actually taste it. The kind of dish that quietly earns its place on the table. Now, the everything bagel Caesar. I cannot overstate this. Everything bagel croutons, warm crispy cream cheese bites tucked in, piles of parmesan. It sounds like a gimmick and it absolutely is not. It is one of the most creative and satisfying salads I have had in recent memory. Ordered it, demolished it, thought about it on the way home. The five cheese pizza rolls round out the meal perfectly. Flaky, cheesy, indulgent without being heavy. Comfort food that actually has a point of view. The room is beautiful, the velvet booths and marble floors deliver that old New York energy without trying too hard, and the service keeps pace with the food. Get the reservation. Get two lobster rolls. Thank me later.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

We were immediately put on a waitlist that the host said would take about 25 min. I personally didn't want to wait but my boyfriend suggested we did. We actually only ending up waiting around 15 min and got seated at a nice table by the windows, the other tables looked a bit too close for my liking but I guess that adds to the ambiance of it all. I knew coming into this meal knowing I wanted the burger, mozzarella sticks and Ceasar salad. The dirty martini was so delicious and got me excited for the rest of the food. Mozz sticks were so perfectly crispy, and had a beautiful cheese pull to it. 10/10 Cesar salad was nice and light, enjoyed that they used breadcrumbs instead of chunky croutons. 8/10 (only cuz I think it gets overshadowed by the rest) The cheeseburger...best cheeseburger of my life. I so appreciated that it was simple, no tomatoes or lettuce distracting you. Even having the classic cheese on there reminded me of Kraft grilled cheeses from when I was a kid. I wish I could eat this burger a 100x more, will be recommending to everyone in the near future. Sooooo worth the hype

I was going to try the Tuna Melt but my wife says they are known for their cheese burgers. So when in Rome.. The burgers were terrific highly recommend. The fries are enough for 2 as we shared and enjoyed them as well. It is a cool place where NYC use to have many of. This is one of them. The service was good. If we can get lucky and make a reservation, we will be back. A must and maybe I'll try the Tuna although the burgers are a home run.

From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless -- warm, incredibly attentive, and perfectly paced. The refreshments were so great for a celebration. The Cocktails: Expertly crafted and sophisticated. It was refreshing to have drinks that were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The coffee was served alongside dessert, it was rich and the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful meal. While the Filet Mignon was a popular and well loved choice among our group, and the Meatballs were universally raved about for being truly excellent, the real showstopper for me was the Chicken Parmesan. I don't typically order steak, so I was delighted by this choice. The cutlet was impressively sized yet elegantly thin, showcasing the high quality of the chicken. It was served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, which was such a comforting and delicious pairing. It did remind me of visiting Germany believe it or not like a schnitzel style cutlet but still very italian if that makes any sense. If you visit, you simply cannot miss the fried eggplant appetizer with burrata. It is divine! This dish alone would be the perfect excuse to drop by for a casual dinner date or a "girls' night out" centered around appetizers, wine, and to try a dessert. I would absolutely return!

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear
