Filippa Edberg-Manuel: Fantastic tartare whether the french steak or the japanese tuna version
heather pink: This is the most underated restarant in the city. The steak tartare is probably the best in the country. I've never had a bad meal here. Also, I've never had an issue with the servers being rude.
Gansevoort Hotel Group: The BEST Steak Tartare in town!

Pub · Yorkville · 66 tips and reviews
Jared H: Basketball, darts, pool, jukebox, friendly staff and occasionally a comedy show on the second floor. Perfect local spot.
New York Habitat: Not quite a dive bar but certainly not an upscale joint, just a good local spot. They've got pool, darts, and even a basketball game to pass the time. Plus who can argue with free potato chips?
Teresa W: Mick and Jimmy: my favorite bartenders in all of NYC.

Marcela Camacho: Crimini stuffed ravioli with truffle sauce...OMG!!!! And the gamberetto starter too much for words. Very romantic and authentic italian, loved it

David Solimano: Great breakfast and diner staples. Solid coffee shop atmosphere, with two person booths and a very busy counter to sit at. Bring cash and enjoy a gyro.
Liz Marshall: NO PUBLIC BATHROOM! but if you whine enough like i did they'll take you around the corner, down the storm door, and into the scary basement to use the surprisingly clean employee restroom.
Herlambang Edmaditya: love ur eggs, so special for my breakfast.

Bravo: We go to Serendipity for the desserts only. They have the best Frozen Hot Chocolate. For real! -Jill Zarin, Real Housewives of New York City
Matthew Hurst: Bring a date here for Frozen Hot Chocolate. Ask for an extra straw so you can split it!
