One of my new favorite haunts. I had been here once before (last summer) and they had the most delicious sliders I'd tried so far in NYC. Since then, they still hold that title. I ended up eating 2 orders that first visit.
The interior was originally what drew me in. It has the type of elegant-yet-relaxed decor that I look for in a bar/restaurant.
I've always received great service here. It became extremely busy the first time I was in, but my server remained attentive for the most part, and compensated with a free round when she realized I had been waiting about ten minutes for a drink. I appreciated her doing that, because although I noticed it had been a bit of a wait, I understand what it's like to work in a busy restaurant.
The subsequent times I've come in here, I've been attended to by Sammy at the bar. She's a great bartender with an upbeat personality and is quick. Part of the reason my boyfriend and I go there is because of how welcome we feel (the other part is the sliders).
They have an ample selection of wines, beers, and a full bar. My go-to wine is the Chardonnay from New Zealand – perfect for those who prefer whites on the drier side.
I'm in the neighborhood at least 3 times a week, so I'll definitely be back, but it's safe to say I would return even if I wasn't nearby on a regular basis.
The brunch gang reassembled here on a Sunday afternoon. I was a bit late, and from the outside, it just looks like a regular tavern. It doesn't look like a brunch spot, but once inside, there are tables and booths; old English style tavern. Everyone got; an egg white omelette, lobster Benedict, eggs Benedict, and French toast. I opted for a tortilla soup instead because it was a special. We also shared a basket of fries that came with spicy mayo and hollandaise sauce. The food was pretty good, my soup wasn't too salty, had chicken and avocado pieces in it. The prices are moderate; but $12 for an Irish coffee? A bit steep, and I paid $7 for a shallow bowl of soup. All the brunch plates came in nicely portioned sizes, with fruit on the side. And they have free refills on coffee- which is only around $2.50. Overall a good spot for brunch or a drink with friends.
Came here to watch a football game and wow was the place on fire! With the storm and everything, lots of people inside, all cheering and yelling. The atmosphere was great for a football game night!
I had a huge Radeberger which was great and hubby has a stout! Lots of beers to choose from, there's something for everyone.
It's a great place to have a beer or two while watching sports!
I was in the neighborhood & we decided to stop by for drinks.
This place used to be this fun Mexican restaurant, Señor swankies it had cheesy funny pics on the wall & pretty decent Mexican food coming into the bar now it looks & is totally different.
Since it was a nice night we were able to sit outside.
Once seated we got some drinks I had the Summer fling & my company had a beer.
Summer fling was not bad , good tasting drink.
Beer was good as well.
As for the place itself not bad nice set up , service was good & prices are decent no food this time around the place was decent enough for drinks.
I came here since my coworker keeps raving about it and since I was in the area I stopped by. My friend wasn't there yet so I took a sit at the bar and ordered some wine while I waited. I really liked the décor and the bartender was attentive enough. Once my friend arrived we ordered some dinner, I went with the roasted chicken with mash potatoes. The food was good but it was a bit bland for my taste. My friend enjoyed the lamb chops.
I feel for the price the food could have more seasoning.
If you're looking for a spot to have a well-crafted cocktail, come to GMT Tavern. Yes they have about 20 beers on tap and a beautiful setting, but the drinks are really a work of art. I tried the "Maple & Sprig" while my friend had the "Bobby Burns" ($13 and $14 respectively). These are the types of drinks that really turn bartending into a craft or an art. Yes – they were that good.
It's called a tavern, but please don't envision a dark hole of a place. With its vaulted ceilings, dark wood, red and gold decor, exposed brick, and library accents (yes I mean books), you feel a little swanky when you walk in (though not as far as pretentious). The space is warm and inviting with plenty of seating along the bar, 2-person high top tables, and a large communal counter table down the center of the room.
If you're looking for somewhere to sit and grab a great cocktail with a friend, kill time before a show or dinner, or are meeting someone for a first time, this is a great place to try.
Came here for drinks only. Decor is nice, classic English pub. Drinks were reasonably priced, $9 for a glass of wine.
Service was not so great. We were greeted by the doorman/security and we asked if we could sit outside. He said the hostess would be back in a minute to seat us… Over 10 minutes later she arrived to seat us (after 2 waitresses walked past us & ignored we were waiting!).
Once seated we had a bit of a wait before we ordered and then another wait for our drinks. Staff were friendly when they did approach us, it just could have been a bit more quickly.
I have been using our receipt as a bookmark, I have eaten out tons in the past few months but due to technical difficulties have not been yelping and I have receipts all over. (btw reading "people of the book" – quite an interesting read). so anyhow, I just pulled out the book and irritated, decided to write the review.
Our evening was fine, the hostess was a bit unfriendly, but it is NYC, the waitress seemed warm and humorous, but then neglected to bring us food or check on us for enormously long stretches of time. So it turned out to be one of those nights where everyone enjoys the company but is exhausted at how long it takes to get anything.
The mango soup special was like drinking a bowl of salsa. Both of us who ordered it gave it away to the people next to us. perhaps that is why we were erroneously charged for three? The salmon salad was lackluster, salmon dinner a bit better. we ended up with lobster sliders on our bill, but never ordered them, and I just noticed the mistake. fish tacos were nice, beef sliders a hit. cocktails adequate but Old Fashioned a bitter end. Birthday slices were charged quite a bit with no mention of that, or several different items would have been chosen. Bill was wrong and fluffed but we did not catch it until home. All said, we would not go back to eat there as food was just, boring. Might have a drink or two and triple check my check.
