Came for an early dinner on a Monday, so it wasn’t crowded. We were seated promptly, and our waiter came over within minutes. The drinks were good—I got a cucumber lemon drink (I forget the name), but it was refreshing. The carpaccio was delicious and well-balanced. The food came out promptly, the steak was perfectly cooked, and the fries were crisp and well-seasoned. The fried rice was good, just missing a little flavor in my opinion. Overall, it was a solid meal, I would definitely recommend

Service was good, but kitchen needs love. I’ve been here a few years ago, I really don’t know what happened. Roasted chicken was salty, to call it a 1/2 chicken is laughable, fries were meh and lukewarm. Shrimp cocktail was good, that’s not hard to mess up. I should’ve known something was up when the dining room wasn’t full — it was a beautiful Sunday evening. Not worth the $$, felt like robbery.

Food, drinks, and service were all around excellent. I highly recommend the beets with labneh. We were early for our reservation and had no problem finding a seat at the romantically lit bar while we waited. Run, don’t walk!

I was a little let down by my experience here after looking forward to having brunch with friends. The food was a bit of a mixed bag, I really liked the coconut chia pudding as a starter but the breakfast sandwich was a huge let down especially for $26 (dry, flavorless, and small but I only ate about 75%). My friends enjoyed the eggs benedict and flapjacks but felt the avocado toast and the famous fried chicken also fell a bit flat. The decor and layout of the space is really cool and cozy, though we were all a bit confused why it was so dark inside.

Made a reservation for a birthday dinner for four people. Great service. Over-delivered with a great sparkler and scoop of ice cream for the birthday girl. Oysters tasted of the sea. Fried chicken was on point. Beet salad - could not be beat.

This was a phenomenal 5-star dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolute perfection, earning a full 5 stars. Both the service and atmosphere were also high quality, each earning 4 stars, making it a well-rounded and highly professional destination for a great meal.

I’ll be honest when it comes to review this is one of those restaurants that was in my camera feed. I review all restaurants I go to in my camera feed and I totally forgot to review this meal because it wasn’t stand out shocking but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. I enjoyed this meal. The food looked and tasted good but again this is New York City and if it doesn’t stand out, it gets lost in the hundreds of thousands of restaurants in this city.<br><br>There are a few ways that did stand out the burger, beautiful perfect shape, perfect hamburger size ratio, fries, overflowing, tall, beautiful as well and the drink they serve served this amazing looking bloody Mary in this glass fish, which I loved and they make it just the way I like it with double the alcohol however I asked for this it didn’t come this way, but everyone should do this, but even with the alcohol, it felt quite dark, which was strange<br><br>The fried chicken, gorgeous delicious who doesn’t love fried chicken, the steak beautiful I mean everything was so well put together plated well made well with class in style the crispy potatoes so<br><br>When did it blew me away though was the oysters I don’t know what oyster I had but it was like smooth butter. I wanted 100 more of those then I might come back for.

The food was good. Service was Ok, the staff at the front desk however wasnt willing to accommodate our request to have our party and another sit close together, they were giving us a hard time take into consideration that there plenty of available tables.<br>Also I find the menu to be limited.<br>This was the first dining at this restaurant and I wasn't impressed.

The food was great. The service - at the bar, at our table, including the sommelier, was spectacular. Such a great experience all round. Congratulations to EVERYONE that works here. We’re coming back real soon!

We went in a large group and the restaurant was very accommodating in hosting us inside on a busy and cold Saturday night. The food, service and ambiance were all excellent!! The burger was the best I had in a long time. The oysters brilliant and the steak perfectly cooked and seasoned. Definitely recommend this place.

Had lunch with my family here in late summer and decided to come based on reviews. Very charming atmosphere and decor. Was seated immediately by staff altough they were a bit too casual in their attitude, almost like they didn't care we were there but it was just a faint feeling nothing deterring.<br><br>The server was attentive as well. I had a very nice coffee but unfortunately it was served cold. I was desperate for coffee so didn't complain. we got the fried chicken with biscuits and that was yummy. The goat cheese with beets salad was phenominal. the deviled eggs were also good but a bit too strong flavoring. But beautiful presentation all around. I would definitely return here next time Im in town.<br><br>The food was good. To be honest, it was the decor and ambiance that really made the experienc top notch for me. And also free matches which you never see in restaurants anymore.

A neighborhood vibe with fantastic service and great food. Carmellini has put together a menu with something for everyone even if you are looking for a suprise. Great bar scene, perfect for people watching and reliably the place we go to with our grown children or out of town guests. Chicken was delicious, pasta was fantastic. Desserts were new to us and the chocolate pudding (it might be something else but its pudding at its best) and the real winner was the apple dessert. Go figure.

Wow! I love this place. The atmosphere was charming, the energy was electric, and the staff was warm and welcoming. The food was out of this world. We got the duck meatloaf, and some of the best fried chicken. I absolutely loved the elevated, modern twist. They took on classic food. To top it all off, the dirty martini was one of the best I’ve ever had.

Really excellent place to come!<br>Notable mentions:<br>- the coffee was surprisingly good, a 7.8 flat white served up!<br>- the Key Line Donut 🍩 was the best dish we had, great softness and flavour to sweetness ratio!<br><br>The other dishes were good but not great.<br>- Fried Chicken crust was too crunchy and fell off the meat easily<br>- the deviled eggs were perfectly average<br>- the frittata was good but had too much cheese and not enough crusting
