“Overall the complete meal was a plus to the great performance and I would absolutely go back to 54 below to see more performances.”

“A cabaret below the iconic Studio 54, as you descend down the steps it's like entering another era.”

“The music at the live show was amazing, and – as another yelper wrote – you get to see Broadway names up close!”

  1. I have to say this was a pretty sweet place. Great atmosphere and great food. I got the steak and although I wish it was bigger, it tasted so good with the onion rings and thinly slided potatoes with brussel sprouts. It tasted quite healthy. I wasn't too fond of the cheesecake but my coworkers all loved it. That's probably because I don't like cheesecake to begin with. It was topped with apples and an apple crisp was embedded into the whipped cream. The appetizer was a squash soup which was delicious expecially paired with that awesome bread. Beautiful place and great waitstaff.

  2. My friends and I got tickets to see a musical comedy about "Murder, She Wrote." We bought the ringside seats which are right up against the stage. My only complaint is that I had to stare straight up to see the actors who were close to the edge of the stage. Otherwise, it was obvious that Feinstein's/54 Below has their thing down to a science.

    All our food came out quickly and everything was delicious. I'm not someone who thinks about food being pretty but in addition to tasting great, it also looked great. The performance was so much fun and when it was over, the check was already on our table. I didn't even see the waitress bring it. It was like magic!

    I would totally go see another show at Feinstein's/54 Below but knowing how cozy the space is, I doubt that I would need to get the seats right at the stage.

  3. Pretty cool spot that hosts tons of live shows and events.  I came here to see the preview of Comfort Women: A New Musical, and it was great!  It'll be coming out off-Broadway this July!

    And yes, you do have a $20 minimum food/drink order per person, and that food comes out fast!!  I had their bacon mac 'n cheese, yucca fries, plantains with guacamole…and our friends had their burgers.  They were all pretty decent!

  4. The seating has changed since my last visit.  There are still 2 long tables but quite a few tables that seat 4, the closest are called "ringside" which is where I sat. Some of the ringside are right up against the stage and I requested not to be in those seats.  They honored my requests (you can make a request when you book). You pay the seating price by area with no guarantee on which table and if you have less than 4 in your party you will likely be sharing it.  There are also some booths that are around the edges and some are elevated.  There is also bar seating.  Almost every seat has a pretty good view though.  We opted to have dinner there (there is a $25.00 minimum any way).  Prices are a bit high but the food was excellent.  They offer a prix fixe menu for $64.00 that has 3 courses.  The items on the prix fixe can also be ordered ala carte.  I had the scallops which were cooked just right and tasted great.  My salad and dessert were also very good.  They offer a discount on parking if you are driving.  My friend and I saw Lea Salonga who was wonderful.  It's an intimate setting with great talent and great food.  It is worth going back again and again.  If you go frequently you can become a member for $100.00 which will get you discounts and some other perks.

  5. Intimate, and classy place to watch some top rated performers sing. Manhattan's own supper club. I like this venue. Decorated with archival pictures from the 20's, it feels more like classic night club tucked away. Hence the name, 54 Below.

    I get the feeling when a singer performs here, it will catapult him/her into a larger spotlight. The setting feels a bit small, and some may say it feels a bit cramped. But it allows you to talk with others around you.

    The acoustics sound great. It allows the performer to interact directly with the audience. The food tasted good. I ordered the king salmon. It melted in my mouth! Loved the taste!

  6. Oh my goodness… Fabulous night spot! Such a wonderful experience! A speakeasy in NYC!  Every performance was delightful! Dinner was sooo tasty!

  7. I had a great experience going here. A cabaret below the iconic Studio 54, as you descend down the steps it's like entering another era. Ever detail from the wall paper to the molding to the art around the place takes me back in history to images of speakeasies and supper clubs I've only seen in movies. The room was well organized with a central stage and pretty good views all around.

    The performance obviously makes the show. We saw Carole Bufford's show Heart of Gold: A Portrait of the World's Oldest Profession. Amazing! The numbers she sung, arrangements transitions, the show featured songs over the last century regarding Women of the night, trial and tribulations, infatuation, etc.

    The food was great. I had an espresso marinated steak and my wife had grilled salmon. We didn't drink but the drinks looked good too. There's a
    Minimum charge with each performance that was $25 per person. Great place. Highly recommend. Check out my pics.

  8. Feels like you travelled to another era in here! Came to hear my friend sing. Really good acoustics. Staff is super nice.  Cute place for a date or a good place to take your mom, which is what I did.
