Had lunch here with a business partner. Nice place to eat AND talk. He even got me to try the Roasted Snails with bone marrow + garlic butter. That is NOT something I would have ever ordered on my own and I was surprised by the texture of the experience. It was more Mussel like than I would have ever imagined and the preparation was superb — but alas, I have nothing to compare them to…
The Maple Bacon + Avocado Sandwich with roasted tomatoes + rye bread was excellent and adding the Kingside labeled brew to the meal made for an overall wonderful combination.
I made an early reservation on Memorial Day thinking I was going to get the brunch menu and was disappointed to find out they were doing lunch, at 11:00 am. Their lunch menu is nothing special but I was already seated so decided to stay. I ordered a Kingside IPA to start and that was definitely the hi-light of the meal. My bf ordered a Bloody Mary which had a nice kick and the kingside burger which didn't. The burger has some funky relish on it that has an overpowering olive taste and the bun is way too big for the size of the burger. I ordered the tuna club which was a scant amount of tuna salad, 1 strip of bacon and 3 slices of white bread, all that goodness for only $17!! Add a side of fries for $10, the only other redeeming thing we tried, and you have a $100 sub-par lunch!!
Good place for a business lunch. The decor gives me a British action movie vibe.
Service – The waitress taking our order was super friendly, as was the waiter clearing our table and refilling our water.
Hay-Aged Pecorino Toast – Four pieces per plate. Light crunch on the surface, and soft on the inside. The ricotta and truffle honey spread were a wonderful combination. Just the right touch of sweetness for an appetizer.
Beet Hummus – First time seeing red hummus. I was a little hesitant to try it, but it exceeded my expectations. I'm not big on beets, but I must say I do like beet hummus.
Chitarra- Spaghetti with three lamb meatballs (at least for me). The mint garnish really lightened up the dish.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts – Black garlic and honey. Do try at home folks.
Salt and Pepper Fries – Five Guys still wins.
working in midtown, you really appreciate a spot that isnt overrun with suits at 6:30pm and isnt a white table cloth style steak house. im not sure i ever was a fan of those sorta places but i digress. kingside is located in the ever so swanky viceroy hotel and has quite the cocktail list as well as accessible aka not too wild taste-wise apps. pro tip: use your corporate amex bc this place aint cheap.
Wine and food were great at Kingside, service was meh (forgot a few things and didn't know details on menu items). I ordered their vinho verde, which was pretty light and slightly effervescent (a plus for me). For appetizers, we ordered the parmesan truffle toast and fried baby artichokes – both were very, very good. And I ordered the brussel sprouts salad for my meal, which was also good. My fiancé said his burger was great (although he ordered his meat medium and it came out pretty rare), and our friends enjoyed their chicken for two.
Why three stars? I guess I expected more from the service given the hefty price tag to the meal.
Merp. New York, you just take all of my money.
Met a friend here for a reunion breakfast. I was a little wary of the prices on the menu online, but hoped for the best. I got a bagel and coffee here because to be real, at $5 for coffee and $4 for a bagel, that was about all I wanted to spend.
Bagel was ok. Coffee was meh. At $5 and for being in New York, I had higher hopes.
Bottom line: I didn't pick it, and I probably won't be back.
Stopped in here solely to warm up from the cold. Stopped in for a drink; while the service was good, the drinks were sub-par. The food we saw didn't look all that great either. Overall – just seems "meh"…will not be back.
Maybe I came at a bad time. We sat at the bar and just had a bad vibe from the bartender. First her uniform looked like she just dug it out of her trunk underneath the spare tire. Was very wrinkled. There where plates and glasses all over the bar from previous customers. She seemed tired or hungover or just annoyed with having to be to work that day. I even caught a lil sarcastic catfight between her and another server. Also I got the feeling that she assumes that as 3pm rolls around most people that come in are just wasting time so they can go to the rooftop that opens at 3pm and whats the point. The problem with that assumptions is although it was true for us, we also where actually staying at the hotel and just checked in. Although we were wasting time thats no reason for "I don't care cause they wont get much" service, and it made us not go back the following day.
