Harding’s

“Everything on the menu looked appetizing, and I ended up choosing the Fig Toast, Atlantic Branzini, and Sorbets + Ice Cream.”

“Split two entrees – the short ribs and the meatballs, both of which were delicious.”

“Harding's is the perfect locale for a after work drink, special occasion dinner or private party (I've done all three!)”

  1. Cool spot if you fancy a night out that's a little less romantic and more laid back , perfect for  small or larger groups .

    Staff are extremely attentive and make you feel very welcome .

    Food is solid.  I would suggest the Short Rib as the winner .

    What happened to the beef wellington ? I want to try this dish !

  2. I was looking for a nice cozy not overly pretentious cool place to wine and dine (hold the wine) my man muffin. Perfect for a business lunch, everyone lunching looked like they came out of one of the nearby business offices.

    The menu has a good variety, salads, sandwiches, etc, and not crazy expensive (can get out without paying more than $20).

    The restaurant has tables in the back, a nice bar in the middle and a lounge type seating in the front with these fancy cushy seats, which of course is what we opted for.

    I ordered the Santa Cruz salad and it was really good, light and lots of fresh veggies and my bf ordered the short rib sandwich, which I tried, and was very good and a generous portion.

    Would like to come back at night for the bar scene!

    Good place for catching up with a small group of friends (2-4) and a perfect spot for an intimate date. High ceiling + old fashion decor, if classic is what you are looking for then this place is for you. Soft lighting and relaxing mood will keep you and your buddies talking and perhaps exposing one too many secrets … but the good kind 🙂

  4. Love this place! Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, friendly service! General manager Jared was super nice and helpful. Check it out, you won't be sorry!

  5. This is a decent place that really pushes having their atmosphere & mixed drinks. Its okay, but nothing really fantastic.

  6. I walked by this place during a lunch break, promising myself to come back for brunch. I've also read another Yelp comment claiming to have found the "best burger in Manhattan", and since I can settle for second, or third best, why not.
    Well, I wouldn't include that burger in any ranking. There's nothing off about this place, I actually like the atmosphere, but there's a reason if it's not crowded during Sunday brunch. At the same time, there's nothing really outstanding to write home about, the brunch felt like just another meal, not an occasion.
    My friends raved about the omelet (unless they were being overly polite, since I chose the venue), the French Toast was utterly disappointing, the burger, well, forget about it.

  7. Chose this spot as a central meeting point to meet up with some 15 or so  friends.  We started off in the bar area where my friends were happy to learn that one of the bartenders was ranked as one of the top 10 mixologists in the city!  

    We had plans to go elsewhere for dinner however it was raining pretty heavily on that day and asked the host if there was any way possible we could stay for dinner as well.  Luckily for us there was a cancellation and they graciously placed us not in the main dining room.. but one of their private rooms!

    This really was perfect for us because we had our own space to walk around; we could even hook up our phones to play our own music! The waiters/waitresses were so friendly and patient with us; even offering to split our bill at the end which is UNHEARD of in NYC and even more rare for a group of 15 plus people.  

    Not only was the service exceptional, but the food was great too.  Everyone was happy with what they ordered.  

    The standouts out of what we ordered were the Fig Toast (would absolutely order this again), the Farm Raised Chicken (artichoke was the perfect complement to the well seasoned chicken), and our friend wouldn't stop raving about the Atlantic Branzini.

    Will definitely be back!

  8. Pretty big bar for NY standard. Place does get super crowded after work, so get here early to grab those covenant bar seats.  Really loved the Harding's sour, which is an egg white drink and you get a choice of liquor that you want to add. Got a little hungry, so we got some pretzels. No frills pretzel bites, but they came out hot and fresh. Would definitely come back here again for the Harding's sour.
