Emily Wilson: Get here early to avoid long waits. At 6:30pm on a Friday the place was mostly empty. All great: spicy cheese dip, horiatiki, octopus, mama's roast chicken. The best? Fries w/ feta and mustard sauce.
Jose Pablo Mangeri: Get here early to avoid long waits. At 5:30pm on a Monday the place was mostly empty. All great: spicy cheese dip, horiatiki, octopus, mama's roast chicken. The best? Fries w/ feta and mustard sauce.
Escape Cardona: This place is a gem. Dim lighting, the decor and music sets an awesome lively vibe that makes you forget you're in NYC. Try the zuccini chips, greek salad, the spanakopita , grilled octopus . So good.

Jessica Wickham: A midtown institution with traditional service and fantastic food. Loved that the bread basket also came with blue cheese dip and vegetable crudités
Ricky Sherrill: Everthing here is top notch. Starting at the bar where they have a nice selection of bourbons. At the table you can't go wrong with any of the steaks. I recommend getting a mutton chop for the table.

Liam: Boneless buffalo wings not very spicy nor was portion big but still hit the spot. Blue cheese dip good. Good snack for under $10. Service was fine sitting at the bar.
Ms Helene: West Side Bar with street view is quieter than adjoining restaurant across Marriott lobby. Guac & chips and onion rings best. Sliders and artichoke cheese dip bland. Pimms Cup cocktail $13
Lucille Fisher: The restaurant at downtown Marriott. After a long flight w/ late night arrival, it's great to find friendly smiles & comfort food-burgers & sweet potato fries, grilled Brussels sprouts were spot on.
