Ryan Platner: WOW! Oysters on the half shell, streamed mussels, and chicken pot pie! I said "DAMN"!!!!!
Jessica Stark: Shareable snacks/apps for a slightly larger group: Hot Potato Chips & Beer Battered String Beans. Dinner: Chicken Pot Pie. Was amazing but LARGE--be prepared to share or take some home!
Sarah Tierney: Eggs Benedict for breakfast is amazing and the pork chop, chicken pot pie, and gnocchi is pretty great for dinner.
James John (Jay) Cudney IV: Chicken Pot Pie is so hot, you can't taste or eat it! Took 15 min to cool down and all the crusty bread turned to mush. Taste was ok but otherwise a miss.
Mark Heyert: Excellent tater tots, crab cakes, beet salad, and the bartenders are sweet and funny.
Michael Witbrock: Cocktails, old fashioned wedge salad, steak
pai: where else can you find a lobster pot pie!? the bar room much nicer with more vibe than the dining area
Rel: If you haven't tried the lobster pot pie, you're losing. Period.
Ramp Creative: One of our favorite places in NYC, not just for the historic atmosphere, innovative food or the classic drinks; but also for the great branding done by Michael Beirut and Pentagram. Nice details. Read more.

The Corcoran Group: While the burgers are amazing here, don't overlook the chicken pot pie. Be sure to get yourself a side of the hash brown potatoes, they're amazing!
JenKudu: One of the the best Tom Collins I've ever had! The burger is really good, but not the best in NYC. Fried Mac and cheese is tasty.
Esquire: Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Now fight your way to the bar and get yourself a Guinness and a cheeseburger.
