I've been to the Andaz Hotel a few times just to eat at The Shop. I think the food is excellent and I've been for both brunch and weekday lunch. I particularly adore the burger with is a perfectly cooked meat patty topped with shredded short rib and pickles. So unbelievably delicious and it is giant. Truly ginormous. I can typically easily crush a burger but this one really made me work for it. The egg dishes are also always great.
Main downside is the prices! They are insane. But I guess that's to be expected at a hotel restaurant in midtown Manhattan. Don't come here if you are looking for cheap or even reasonable! Pricey pricey pricey $$$
Overpriced breakfast, but lovely ambiance and a nice place to spend your morning eating decent food. We ordered the mushroom and asparagus omelet and a sesame bagel with gravlax. The bagel and lox was quite tasty, but the omelet was a little overcooked and pretty unexciting.
I am obsessed with the shop… I'm here daily (many times a day) and love the staff and the vibe.
"For brunch on 5th, great spot without the tourist nonsense"
Nice and simple menu. Good selection of breakfast/lunch items. Very nice atmosphere. Connected to a great building for the bathrooms, which in the context of a review for a restaurant is odd, but trust me, if you have to use the thing, you're going up to a gallery and a museum and its good if you're finish with brunch.
The menu featured lots of fresh ingredients including a grassfed beef burger which I had, and lots of eggs, sausage, bacon, and other options. Pricing is a little high at $20 per dish, but for 5th avenue, New York city, I wouldn't expect it to be a lot less. Not bad at all.
We had just checked into our hotel at the Andaz and decided to pop in downstairs for a quick bite before heading out on the town.
I like the look of this place; like the hotel, its chic. Does not look like a Hyatt hotel or restaurant. But, some of the tables are close together.
Upon arrrival, we were greeted and seated immediately without reservations.
Server recommended a bottle of the Ascheri 2011 Barbera D'Alba. Very good.
We started with the chef's selection cheese and charcuterie board. This took a bit long to come out, but at least we got our wine right away. I'd say the cheese and charcuterie selection was average.
For an entree I ordered the Hudson Valley Duck Confit Salad w/blood orange, goat cheese & mustard dressing. I thought it was very good.
My husband ordered the seared beef strip & braised short rib & creamed Kale. He enjoyed the short ribs; however, the seared beef strip had way too much fat. In fact, it was mostly fat. My husband left the table for a bit and I showed the server. She took it to the manager. They apologized and offered my husband a free dessert. He chose a creamsicle butter cake. He enjoyed it.
Great meal and only reason I did not give it 5 starts is because it took someone 10 minutes to greet us (despite having a reservation) and check us in. Once we were seated, everything was great. Solid service & delicious food. I ordered the shop wedge steak salad, pancetta, avocado, berkshire blue cheese and red wine vinaigrette with a side of brussel sprouts, slab bacon, apple cider, smoked sea salt. Very healthy options & great spot!
Don't know what experience other people have had at this place but mine was superb. We originally made a res at the bar downstairs but upon learning that the menu posted online and the menu at the restaurant was different, and due to diet restrictions, we decided to head upstairs to The Shop.
We were seated immediately and were presented with a far better menu than the bar downstairs. We started with a bottle of wine. Then ordered apps. Started with the baby gem salad and butternut squash soup. We were brought some insane bread and really nice olive oil. The salad was pretty good. Had a nice bleu cheese dressing which was nice and light. The butternut squash soup was also quite well done, poured at the table, beautiful presentation.
Our table then did a mixture of entrees. Two had the duck with wild rice pilaf, which they raved about. We also did another bottle of wine which was just as good as the first. My girlfriend and I decided to do a big mixture of small plates.
Veal Meatballs – very tender with a nice hearty tomato sauce and slices of toasted baguette.
Fig and Goat Cheese Flat Bread – goat cheese and a balsamic reduction. Sooooo good. Perfectly crispy crust. Damn well done.
Roasted Beat Salad – goat cheese, mixed greens. Loved it.
Baked Brussels and Sweet Potatoes – perfectly broiled, nice and crispy, little butter, yum.
Service was awesome. Loved the atmosphere. Ultimately this place provided a great meal and great overall experience. Would definitely return!
We came here for a last minute brunch which was delish. Expensive but good. Avocado toast was to die for and the bolgonese pasta was so good!
