Emily Wilson: Mozz sticks, wedge salad, vinegar chicken. Yas.
W. Carson Gordon: Wedge salad... get it!
Cole Kennedy: I am in love with this restaurant and bar, after which every casual restaurant and bar chain in America is modeled. Get the mozzarella sticks. And beer in frosted mugs.
Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: Begin with shrimp cocktail or a wedge salad, then Porterhouse with French fries & creamed spinach, then cheesecake. – Green Guide Editor
Karen Dugan: Order the bacon, wedge salad, creamed spinach, steak for 4, etc. eat everything and be charmed by the waiters who have incredible attitudes.
Benjamin W.: For lunch: Burger, bacon, the best creamed spinach of all time, housemade dark beer. Call it a day.

Time Out New York: Sit at the wood-topped bar to watch co-owner Regina Christiansen mix drinks like the classic Blood & Sand, or abscond to one of the smaller tables along the wall for a quiet conversation. Read more.
Derek Tumolo: As my friend John said, this place is classy as shit.
Florentina Hanisch: Loooove the duck and waffle! Great view, great service!
Kelsey✨: Really big space with an eclectic menu that’s inspired by cuisines around the world. All of the sushi rolls are really good, as well as the sweet corn.
Christina Chin: Went on fri for lunch, pretty empty. Bacon wrapped dates were excellent, duck fried rice was tasty, not sure worth the price, crunchy tuna also good. Service was friendly. Outdoor seating by the water

Time Out New York: This nautical dive has some of the city’s best bar food, including a knockout cheeseburger with mayo and sliced half-sour pickles tucked beneath an amply salted LaFrieda patty. Read more.
nymag: Black Betty's been reborn into this kitschy, nautical spot with four-star bar food. Per the Underground Gourmet, try the fried chicken - "among the best in town" - and the "adult cheese" sandwich. Read more.
