    Roasted Cauliflower Steak
    Aditya S.

    This upscale pub lounge in Midtown East is a refined sports viewing destination owned by The Stout NYC Hospitality Group. On a busy Monday night during a pivotal game 3 of the Knicks in the NBA Finals, the servers seemed a bit overwhelmed. As soon as I tried to place another order, the waiter turned his back to attend to another table. The Hot Buttered Rum was a well balanced spiced cocktail with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. The Funny Bird was a standout cocktail with Appleton rum and Goslings ginger beer. The crab cake was plated well but the taste was not memorable. The Buffalo chicken wings were small and overpriced. The roasted cauliflower steak was prepared well on a bed of toasted almonds soaked in balsamic and paprika oil. Despite the urbane appearance, the bar still had a fun and raucous energy to view the game.

    Brussel sprouts and calamari

    This place is a normal pricy for midtown and actually worth it. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and mouth watering. The calamari with the pretzel dust was so good, and the cocktails were as wells.

    This was my first visit at The Splendid it was definitely worth stopping in. I was warmly greeted by the host as I entered the restaurant. I was attracted by the menu posted outside which offered a hot toddy cocktail on an absolute frigid afternoon in the city. Upon entering the restaurant I was pleasantly surprised by the vibe and ambiance. The hostess recommended that I try the hot toddy which confirmed my initial interest. The cocktail lived up to everything that I imagined it would be. The bar staff was friendly and attentive. The bartender promptly served me an amazing cocktail. After reviewing the menu I decided to add the clam chowder. It did not disappoint. Flavorful and delicious from the first spoon to the last. I will definitely be returning for another experience. I would encourage others to visit as well I don't believe you'll be disappointed.

    Awesome venue- classy but warm and friendly. Loved the steam and bake potato. Great service

    Clam chowder

    Food was pretty good. Late Sunday night so wasn't super busy. Service was a bit slow towards the end. Wanted to order dessert but they never gave us menu. I'd go back again

    Espresso martini

    Really enjoyed our combination brunch/early dinner at the bar! The service was great, especially from Xavier, who was super friendly and knowledgeable. Nice cocktail and wine list. Loved the calamari, pistachio burrata and the burger. The ambiance was really cool and quite different from most large midtown NYC spaces. Seems perfect for both large groups or date night. Will definitely return!

    Step into the new 3 Monkeys, a tri-level playground of grit and glamour -- exposed brick that looks…read morelike it survived Prohibition, tin and copper ceiling tiles that wink under amber mood lighting, and a wooden bar polished by a thousand high-fives. Surrounding TVs keep every play, fight and miracle replayed in glorious surround-sass while wooden tables beg for pitchers, pretzels and conspiracy theories about the ref. Whether you're upstairs for the 3rd floor vibe, mid-level for the perfect sightline, or down in the cozy den with the best acoustics, this is New York sports bar energy: loud, a little brazen, impossibly welcoming. One particular bartender, Delaney not only brings an awesome level of energy to the bar, she saunters in like a halftime show -- a grin that's equal parts mischief and welcome. She's all quick elbows and quicker comebacks, the kind of bartender who remembers your name, your drink, and that one ridiculous story you told months ago. Her laugh is loud, her wink is devious, and she has a way of making first-timers feel like regulars by the second round. Behind the wooden bar she's choreography: expert pours, theatrical muddles, and a flourish that makes every order feel curated. Delaney's drinks are personality-packed, with her behind the bar, the place doesn't just serve drinks -- it gets its personality back. It's a place off 8th ave where fitness meets fun, and every corner feels like home--complete with friendly staff who know your name (or at least your size) and are always ready to offer a witty comeback or a perfect recommendation. Cheers!

Taking off a star because I had a weird experience with the people at the front. I'm currently recovering from an injury and I'm in a pretty obvious neck brace. I was visiting with two people who were on their way and would be arriving in about 10-15 minutes and the people at the front told me I couldn't be seated until they arrived. I understand that this is normal protocol, but I pointed out my neck brace and asked if an exception could be made because it's significantly more comfortable for me to sit down (and there was no room at the bar). They said that their manager wouldn't let them do that, and that they couldn't seat me until the rest of my party was there. There were tons of table tables available the entire time and when my friend arrived about 12 minutes later, they seated us, I totally could've sat the whole time and it wouldn't have been a problem. Not the end of the world and I probably could've pushed it harder, but it definitely was a little awkward!

We reserved for a quick bite at Redeye Grill before catching Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, but as soon as we walked up, some bouncer told us they were closed for a private wedding reception. We were dazed and confused because how was I able to reserve online? But the real plot twist was that it ended up being the best thing that happened. We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich.

The shepherd's pie is insanely salty and it's very off-putting. It was inedible. I was looking forward to having it but I would not in good faith recommend this to anyone. 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.

The food came quickly, and was great. Nothing that changed our lives, but hot, quick, and delicious. I can see this becoming a regular spot for when we can't decide on where to go and just want somewhere dependable and consistent. Inside is like a typical Irish pub: long bar, wood everywhere, comfy high tops and booth seating along the wall. Keep in mind that it is a sports bar with TVs everywhere, so they will be playing the major sport of the season. The volume isn't too loud though, enough to hear, but don't need to cover your ears. The bottomless option on the weekend is great, 2-3 drinks and you get your money's worth. The bloody's are good quality, with a good bite of Tabasco and horseradish (I prefer that!) and the mimosas are bubbly forward (they're not skimping you with mostly OJ). The food prices for brunch aren't crazy either. Selection is a bit limited, but seeing as this is a pub/tavern, I think they have a pretty good mix. Overall, would absolutely recommend. If you have a big group, have some common sense and book a reservation, but likely able to do walk-ins for small groups, couples, or singles easily. This is a great option for laid back vibes in HK.
