We only had appetizers and drinks at the bar. Bar tender was really nice but the only one serving so we had to wait a bit to get a drink. Took advantage of the yelp free nachos if you check in. Food came out quickly once we ordered. The nachos are not what most of us are use to so know these are an Italian version. Just preparing your taste buds as I didn't realize and the first bite was the taste of basil. My first reaction was something is wrong, but no it isn't. Yes very unusual and worth the try but not a favorite so Im glad it was free….LOL. We had beer from a bottle so to us the drinks were fine.
Came here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago on a Sunday evening. Very large restaurant. Front has more high top bar tables and in the back has more traditional dining tables.
Menu offered some interesting signature drinks and homemade craft beers but unfortunately none that really appealed to my taste. Can't remember which cocktail I ordered (helpful, I know!) but was not a fan.
Menu options are typical American casual food. I ordered the Mahi Mahi with rice. And to be honest , it seemed a little sad in comparison to everyone else's meals portion wise. It was cooked well but not quite as satisfying as everyone else's meals.
Not my favorite restaurant. Probably wouldn't come back. But not a bad restaurant, just not as unique
We happened to stumble upon this place looking for food, as this area has many food options. This is a must visit location. The ambiance is amazing and they are very welcoming. You can sit at the bar area on the first level, or the second bar/restaurant area up the stairs. The beers are really good and they have a lot of selections. The food, amazing! Great taste and fairly priced for the area.
We will be back here on the next NY visit. Also, make sure to check in as they have YELP offers.
What was I thinking? My only excuse was I was starving after seeing Beautiful- the Carol King Story.
Plain and simple, the thought was there but this is a stab at TGI Friday's bar food.
Service was horrendous, over priced beer even for NYC,
I seriously can't think of anything positive to say except the play was exceptional!
31/2 stars and better than I thought it would be. Yes,I knew this place was a tourist trap. But my 11 year old aspiring chef is obsessed with Guy. We walked by during our last NYC trip and 11 year old has wanted to come here ever since. So in need of a restaurant in the theater district before Hamilton….
We had reservations but the place was pretty empty when we arrived at 5. By the time we left after 6 it was packed. This restaurant is huge, encompassing three levels. In between the ground and 1st floor levels, you can peek into the open kitchen. The night we went, the ground floor was being set up for a huge private event. We sat on the second floor, in "the Studio", which had an interesting rock & roll decor.
Husband and I started with some cocktails ($13.50 each). My Guy's House Margarita was perfect. It went well with the Guy-Italian Nachos. Not a dish I would normally order, it was free with Yelp check in. This is an Italian twist on nachos with Italian sausage, salami, pepperoni, piquante peppers, ricotta crema. Definitely over the top, but will surely fulfill any junk food craving! For an appetizer we also had Bourbon Brown Sugar Wings-sweet, ooey gooey. Not the best wings have ever had, but pretty good!
For my main I had the Sashimi Tacos: Four crispy wontons stuffed with ahi tuna, mango jicama salsa, wasabi, and sweet soy. Each was a refreshing delicious morsel. This dish is is an appetizer and on the lighter side, but perfect after the other heavy apps. Definitely recommend them!
11 year old ordered the Bacon Wrapped BBQ Shrimp. The shrimp was way over cooked and somewhat dry. 11 year old still loved the flavor but I thought the flavor of the BBQ sauce was somewhat pedestrian.
12 year old ordered the Bacon & Chicken Mac & Cheese: Very cheesy Mac & Cheese with diced rotisserie chicken, crumbled bacon, Parmesan cheese, & cheese crackers (yes, Goldfish!) Can you say rich? There was not a lot of chicken in this dish and it was a bit dry, but the Mac & Cheese was good. Just tasting it I felt like I was eating a million calories.
Keeping with the same theme, Husband had the Bacon Mac & Cheese Burger. For me there was too much "stuff" on this burger. Maybe all of it was to hide that the burger itself did not have much flavor.
Our server was perky and friendly although she seemed a bit green. To her credit, if she did not know something she went to ask. The food came out at a nice pace…with plenty of time to get to the main event, Hamilton!!!
Oh. My. Goodness. I had the steak diane filet & the bf got guy's cajun chicken alfredo. It was amazing! We both were very pleased. The drinks we got were so good too! Strong, just like we like it. He got crazy cab driver and I got the lady liberty cosmo. The bartender was really nice. We stopped by at first for a drink at the bar…looked at the menu and just knew we had to go back for dinner later on that night.
My entree…….the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. The potatoes were creamy. The gravy was the icing on the cake for me. I love smothering everything in gravy so I was so happy when my food came out. The cajun chicken alfredo is the best my bf ever had! Def recommend this place!
So it went like this. Apparently my cousin had a good experience here when she came last and wanted me to try the restaurant. BIG MISTAKE! I was quite surprised given that this restaurant was in Times Square and we all know what tourist trap most touristy restaurants are. Well, this one turned out just as I expected – maybe my cousin got lucky because looking at the other reviews it seems like our experience was quite similar to most other diners…
We got seated and ordered fries for my cousin's baby. A big bowl of a day old fries come before us. We taste them and return. Unfortunately the baby didn't quite agree with our decision and started crying. Babies, ya know. So we asked them if they can make the fries fresh and if they can come in a kid's size. The waitress tells us that is the only size they have and yes they could make it fresh. The fries come out much hotter next time but still taste the same…hmmm. Guess they fail at making fries which makes me doubtful of the rest of the stuff. I mean how hard is it to get potatoes right? Yup, moving on to the food. We order volcano chicken and Alfredo chicken pasta. The waitress brings the volcano chicken (for moi) first and it's quite average tasting. Chicken is decent, so are the mashed potatoes but nothing blows me away or even makes me want to order it again ($22 down the drain). Anyhow my cousin's entree comes and it's not the dish we ordered. The noodles are whole wheat and just like my entree, don't taste great. We decided to be smart and cancel our order instead of getting the Alfredo chicken pasta. We also got a plateful of nachos with a Yelp check-in and although we don't care much about nachos, we were excited about these cuz of the various pictures and cuz we always welcome free food. The nachos were skimping on everything except for the nacho chips itself. Tiny amount of sour cream, cheese and turkey…I mean we get they are free but at least you can make em taste good. What a disappointment! Guy Fieri either doesn't care cuz he's making bank anyways or this restaurant is just another tourist trap giving American food a bad name – and GF for that matter too.
Gluten Free Review
+Gf Patrons look elsewhere unless you love guy
No gluten free menu to start the day off with that at a chef who boasts about the American people but doesn't really accommodate patrons with allergies in his own restaurant is a complete let down. They also were out of the gluten-free beer they so provide and get this it was "gluten-reduced" I mean who the heck drinks gluten reduced beer? It has to be gluten free guy, hello.
Anyways got some truffle fries, a super dry chicken that had little to no flavor, and a waiter who was decent and got most of the job done but had to check 3 or 4 times with the chef to know what was gluten free. The atmosphere and service and truffle fries were for the 1 star.
Not having a gluten-free/allergen menu in NYC is appalling and I'm quite ashamed this high level of a host/restaurant owner screws us. Will def spread the word to my gluten-free patrons.
Get with the program.
