    Just like my liver is in health ruin, this spot is in financial ruin literally. You're having cocktails in a former bank vault folks. There's nothing more relaxing and romantic than having a cocktail amongst iron bars. It's giving... jail! I'm kidding. A very cool concept. I continue to go back. At night, the vault lights up and it's a vibe in there. We had about 30 minutes to chug down an old-fashioned given the dread of New York traffic so the service is great.

    I recently visited this old haunt when I met with friends for pre-dinner drinks. An old bank vault, I've been to this hot spot numerous times especially when I worked in the area. From bar food to lunch and dinner, I've tried a lot. It's a cozy spot that can get crowded especially towards the end of the week. At least I'm assuming it still might be. I'm sure the regulars still drop by for that after work drink or two. Recommend.

    The food was fine. The drinks weren't bad, but they weren't overly creative or mind-blowing. But the staff and management was AMAZING! So how did we get here? I made a last minute reservation on OpenTable on a Thursday night. I got there and the host tells me this was a mistake; that the app allowed me to reserve a table that was not available. He calls the manager, who tells me the back room has been prepared for an event, and somehow I was mistakenly able to reserve a table in this space. They were absolutely packed, so also keep that in mind when you make the decision to come here as well . . . it's in FiDi, so a lot of business people clogging the bar area for after-work drinks. Anyway . . . the manager went out of her way to make a place for me. I ended up sitting in a back corner in the event space (it didn't start until an hour and a half after my reservation). She actually apologized over and over about my "child in solitary" dining situation, but I think it worked out great! I was away from the crowd and the noise, and service was still really attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. I had the petite filet medallions served with broccolini and gruyere potato gratin. The medallions were cooked appropriately, medium as I asked, and weren't bad. Maybe a little more seasoning? The broccolini was charred perfectly and had just the right amount of crunch. The potatoes were pretty bland though. I had the New York cheesecake with Nilla wafer crust. It was pretty good! They also have cavatelli, ricotta ravioli, duck leg confit risotto, ahi tuna, scallops, blackened salmon, a wagyu burger. They have apps like charcuterie and cheese boards, pate, salads, tartare. They have a bar menu as well. Prices are moderate for New York. I had a few cocktails. Sweater Weather (dark rum, apple, maple, walnut, ginger)--a fall selection. I had the pearfect pearl (grey goose, pear, rosemary, ginger, lime). This was probably the cleanest and most refreshing. And then the people's margarita (blanco, lime, pineapple, agave). They also didn't rush me as people started to arrive (I was still out before the event started, but they didn't even ask me to leave). The decor here is pretty cool too. It's in an old bank vault. Would definitely return when I'm downtown. Thank you so much to the awesome staff who went out of their way to not let a faulty reservation ruin my plans!

    After a long walk at an exhibition, my daughter and I decided to have dinner at this cozy place. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the service is amazing. Our server was so patient with our questions about the menu. The drinks and dishes were delicious, too. It was nice to have a nice mother/daughter night out. We'll be back for more.

    The ambiance was so cool. A restaurant in a bank vault is a unique concept! The food came out fast and was very delicious! Service was very attentive and friendly! Highly would recommend anybody who wants to have an intimate dinner or a fun outing with a group of friends!

    I stopped in for happy hour. The bar area was fairly busy with the after work crowd. Service was great! The HH rose' wine was surprisingly good. It's not a large HH menu so I ordered food from the bar menu. The tuna tostadas were delicious. A decent amount of tuna for the price but a small portion. The tuna was very fresh. I couldn't get enough of the chipotle mayo. Perfect compliment to the dish. For an appetizer, the flavors were perfectly balanced. I will definitely be back. Not sure how I haven't found this place before. Walked by it a million times.... The old bank vault is really cool.

    I had booked a reservation here for dinner with my mom and stepdad as they are visiting New York City for the first time. I wanted to take them to a place where they could get a decent steak or burger and that wasn't too awfully pricey. I had done some research and it seemed this place fit the bill and also had a unique I'll beyond being in a bank vault. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and we were seated in the bar area, it didn't look like the back dining room was open yet. Next time I would probably wait for a later reservation as trying to sit in the bar area and have a dinner was not a good idea. It was so obnoxiously loud in there with all of the after work crowd that we could not hear each other. My mother ended up super frustrated that we could not speak during our meal. The food was just OK, they said the fillet was very nice. The coq au vin really lacked flavor and my mahi was just OK. I really like seafood and I liked the variety of veggies in the broth, but it was just somewhat bland. the pricing wasn't too bad, my husband and my bill totaled about $100 before tip. I had one glass of wine and my husband had two beers. The service was really good. Food came out promptly so all of that was great.

    This is a pretty relaxing place inside a Vault. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had the Barrata . It was beautifully presented . The dish had an interesting variety of ingredients. I was freezing out so Hit Toddies were perfect.

    Cool for the photo opportunity, but I would say they need a charge in some way. Stopped here for a pre-dinner drink while in the area. Granted, we did stop on a Wednesday, they weren't very busy at all. I had a reservation but it wasn't really needed whatsoever. It is billed as a place where you dine in a vault - but it seemed like it was just a vault door out front and the vault had walls blown out and opened way up for a regular restaurant. Had a drink and some guac and chips. Can't speak to regular food but overall good.

    Duck Leg Confit Risotto

    Solid new American food spot. Restaurant is in a bank vault which is pretty cool and definitely gives FiDi vibes! Not much good food in FiDi, so this place feels like a godsend. Service left a little to be desired, but we had a big party so don't imagine it's the norm. Definitely go for the duck leg!

    I decided to try this place on my first ever trip to NYC. It was very good. They are housed inside of an old bank building and they keep a lot of the feel from that. They have an old bank vault when you walk in that lights up different colors. For my meal I had the cheeseburger. I didn't see anything else I really liked on the menu so I decided to play it safe. The burger was good and I'm glad I got it well done. My colleague had the burger but she has it medium well and it ended up being undercooked. I had a Hot Toddy to go with my meal.

    What a great find in the Financial District! I actually just Googled places near WTC and came upon this historic and iconic restaurant. Set in an old vault with so much character and romance, this is a great spot for a company affair or just catching up for drinks. The food is really good with good portions. I had the traditional burger which was juicy and just right. The waitress was very accommodating and kept refilling our drinks. Definitely recommend this spot for a quiet place to get a good dinner.

    This is a beautiful space and such a cool ambience! Set inside an old bank vault, it's a cool spot for pictures. The food and drinks were phenomenal and the service was fantastic. An easy walk to Wall Street or close by the subway, so its super easy to navigate to it.

    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.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.

The expansion into the building next door tripled the Taproom, and the crowds tripled with it. Here's the thing though. The Irish Coffee is still the best in America. Served warm, not scalding, cream whipped to order and floated so it sits like a lid. Three tables around me ordered rounds at 2pm and nobody was wrong. The Parlor upstairs is where the actual bar still lives. Sixteen cocktails you can't get downstairs, table service, relative quiet. Downstairs, skip the fried chicken (it's tenders, whatever the menu says) and get the fish and chips, which are honest. Service was fast and a little impersonal, which is what happens when your ground floor is 60 percent tourists photographing the dollar bills on the ceiling. The 1828 building still does a lot of work, low ceilings and all. Is it the world's best bar anymore? No, and half the old bar team has scattered to open their own spots around town, Limo in the East Village being the latest. But a Guinness and an Irish Coffee here on a weekday afternoon is still one of the better hours you can spend below Chambers. Book the Parlor, treat the Taproom as the warmup.

The bread was fluffy and not dry, which I had seen previous reviews say before. Paired with the creamy truffle butter, it had a luxurious mouthfeel. My favorite was the pork chop (cognac, sweet prunes, bacon, rosemary) -- the sweet and soft texture of the prune was melted in my mouth like fat, and the pork was tender, with the rosemary also coming through. The vodka rigatoni was a skip, somewhat bland and one-note, we ended up putting some of the truffle butter and garlic aioli from the fries to make it more flavorful. This was especially in contrast with the spicy shrimp pasta which was much tastier. Also got the strawberry vacherin (strawberry ice cream, meringue, vanilla whipped cream), it was my first time having this dessert. The tartness of the strawberry was great with the fluffy meringue and the sweet ice cream. Service was extremely attentive, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated with moody lighting.

I went on a Thursday night, and the place was absolutely packed. The front feels more like a bar/casual area, while the dining room is tucked toward the back. My reservation was at 10:15 PM, so I actually had a light dinner beforehand and ordered a little lighter than I normally would. I got: - Truffle Monkey Bread ($34.99) - Prime Rib French Dip ($39.99) - Pommes Frites ($13.99) - Banana Split Sundae ($24.99) I thought the prices were definitely on the higher end when I first sat down, but the Truffle Monkey Bread is divine! Honestly, it's probably in my top 3 bread experiences of my life. If you love truffle, butter, cheese, and basically everything good in life, please get this. It comes out slightly warm and is just incredible. I will probably dream about this bread. The French Dip was good, although it was a little too salty for me. If I get the chance to come back, I'd probably try one of their actual steaks instead. The pommes frites were super crispy, basically McDonald's fries but elevated. The Banana Split Sundae was so pretty. I loved how they placed all the little treats around the crevices/imprints of the dish (not sure how else to describe it ). It's huge, though, so definitely don't expect to finish it yourself. I'd recommend sharing it with 3+ people. I was also celebrating an anniversary, and they brought out a strawberry scoop for us. It tasted homemade and really fresh. I could actually see pieces of strawberry in it, which I loved. The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, and getting a dinner reservation can be a struggle, but I'd absolutely go again if I got the chance. The decor is cozy and upscale, the food was excellent, and the whole place has a really nice atmosphere. My only real complaint was that our waitress kept pushing us to order more, which got a little annoying, especially since we had already ordered quite a bit. Overall: expensive + difficult reservation, but absolutely worth trying. And please get the truffle monkey bread.

Sitting at the bar was a highlight--the bartenders were fantastic, clearly proud of their craft, and they even humorously indulged my game of trying to guess the ingredients of each drink they mixed. The cocktail lineup is phenomenal. A few absolute highlights: the Purple Rain with its purple ice and peppercorn, the flambéed Dirty Dancing, a brilliant espresso martini riff called Flick The Bean, and Pure Temptation--which has glassware you just have to see for yourself. Don't miss this place if you're in NYC!

    The Woo Woo is loud and touristy--and honestly, that kind of sums it up…read more They market it as a speakeasy, which... technically yes. You need a password (easy to find online), and you go through a hidden door down a staircase. But it feels more like a novelty than anything else. NYC has way more iconic speakeasies, so this isn't somewhere I'd go out of my way for more than once. Nothing wrong with the vibe--it's Times Square, so you already know what you're getting--but it's definitely a one-and-done kind of spot. The drinks are good and super fun, but they're very extra (smoke, presentation, all that), so between that and how packed it gets, it can take a while just to get one cocktail. Didn't try the food. Overall, go for the pics and TikToks--it's perfect for that. I'd recommend checking it out once, but I don't really see it being a repeat spot.

    I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn to watch movies but I got an invitation to a Soirée…read morehere for the movie, Wicked. I didn't know what to expect but I loved the Broadway show and I'm always down for immersive events. So I arrived at the Press Room and saw that there was a bar with a couple of tables surrounding it. It seems to be where the kitchen is for all the wonderful food that Alamo provides during the in-dining movie experience. I had to approach the bartender to find out where exactly this party was and he instructed me to look beyond the large curtain to the side just as if I were searching for the Wizard of Oz. As I tugged myself behind the curtain, I walked into a decent-sized room and with balloons and the words, "Welcome to Emerald City" in the front of the room with a DJ playing today's hits and of course, songs from the Wizard Broadway show. At first, I thought this was going to be a dance party but soon realized that it was going to be a craft party instead. There was a station for making your own broom, one to make a friendship bracelet, and another one for letter writing along with sealed wax to use on the envelope with different stamps. I sipped away an Old-Fashioned in my souvenir Wicked cup while singing along to the Wicked soundtrack and making a friendship bracelet for my daughter. This experience was relaxing and joyful so now I know my type of party consists of a craft night. Close to the end of the night, I participated in a Wicked costume contest. I lost but nevertheless, I had a good time. Ended the night with an order of burger before heading home to show off my creations. I can't wait to check out their other events and come here again!

    It's an enjoyable bar. It's slightly hidden away inside of an office building two flights down via…read morethe escalator next to the Alamo Drafthouse. Nice selection of alcohol, friendly bartenders and attentive service. Since it was tucked away it wasn't as crowded and I was able to spend an hour catching up with my friend and it wasn't overly crowded or loud.

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!
