EaterJanuary 23, 2013Chef Harold Moore serves terrific fresh pastas, a monster pork chop, and one of New York's very best chickens for two. The space here has a cool old-school vibe. [Eater 38 Member]
David SteinbergerJune 27, 2015Great place for a quiet brunch. If you have a drinking sweet tooth, their sidecar is for you. Biscuits & gravy was terrific today. Brunch-mates reported Cuban sandwich & omelette were also delicious
MarkOctober 4, 2013The Colorado lamb chop, deviled eggs, and short rib raviolis are amazing. Wash it down with an East Side. Cannelloni is great, even the Ragu is great. Don't think you can go wrong here...
D BJanuary 11, 2015The food is so good here! And that butter...sheesh...dangerously delicious. The staff is also super friendly. For desert try the birthday cake.
Claire J SongJune 1, 2015Cheeseburger, $17 Every detail is spot on, housemade sesame-seed bun, and house-brined bread-and-butter pickles. Weekend brunch and lunch Fridays and Saturdays only.- Brad GaroonApril 23, 2015I couldn’t be happier that I made a trip specifically for this burger. It is one of the most exquisite burgers you could eat in New York City. Read more
julia tNovember 23, 2014It's a good go-to. Can often get a last minute res, delicious bread basket, love the Israeli worker's breakfast. Fun cocktails and ambiance at dinner. Reasonably kid-friendly.
Food NetworkMarch 15, 2013The entrée options under "Things to Share" are the perfect date-night choice: Try the whole roasted chicken with seasonal vegetables or the juicy Porterhouse. Via CityEats.com Read more
Sean StenstromFebruary 21, 2014The space here has a cool old-school vibe, and the bar is a fun place to grab a drink at the beginning or end of the night. Commerce is a great date night restaurant.
- Pei Lu ShenMarch 29, 2013The BEST pork chop I've ever had. Succulent and full of flavor. The addition of rice cake and kimchi apple slaw makes this an all around winner!
Tatiana DorochinaJuly 19, 2014Himachi a bit overdressed. Hanger steak melted in your mouth. Rabbit pate fairly good. Really really good French Pinot Noir. The food is solid, prepared well. But not inventive. Place loud, cramped.
Harvey WeissmanApril 8, 2015Tortellini appetizer is sensational! Duck was excellent and Steak Diane was wonderfully flavored! Other dishes were also delicately flavored and quite enjoyable!
Mike McBryanOctober 30, 2014Reliably great food (get the Ragu of Odd Things). Perfect for a business dinner on the expense account. Always crowded with good looking people in suits.
Allan BeaufourNovember 8, 2014Get the sweet potato tortellini and the pork chop, and then enjoy the fantastic bread basket. Finish with the coconut cake that is the size of a house
Oliver BreuerApril 25, 2015Nice place, great service (thanks, Joel!), and delicious food. Oh, and I think I know now why the coconut cake is set in a significantly larger font size…
Sumeet ShahSeptember 9, 2013One of those warm, intimate places in NYC where everything just works. Brunch, dinner, late night cocktails, it's one of the old reliables in the city.
Julien LuxJune 15, 2014Another brilliant location we found thanks to foursquare. Come here and enjoy a typical old New York location with excellent food and notable service!
Jane DongAugust 11, 2014Korean style pork chop was one of the best I've ever had. So tender and flavorful! Birthday cake a bit overrated - would pass on that one.
Steve SchulerOctober 19, 2014Just sayin', the calves liver app may be one of the best things I've tasted in a long time. I didn't even wait for the entree to write this tip it was so good.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 2, 2011All foodies agree that this could quite possibly be the best brunch in NYC! We recommend the Gently Smoked Bacon, Egg and Cheese on an English Muffin. Cash only!
AlexisNovember 24, 2013It's all about the consommé with marrow ravioli, brussel sprout salad and the pork!! Love the erotic frescos lining the walls of the dining room
alex AugustinosMarch 29, 2014Crispy skate was a tasty little app. Shortrib ravioli were stellar. And yes, the bread basket was top-notch as far as bread baskets go.
Kirk CheyfitzDecember 13, 2014Really good food in one of Manhattan's most offbeat streets. Comfortable. Warm. And the walk there is a highlight of any evening.
Jen BergFebruary 3, 2014Really amazing food. It's true what they say about the bread basket - the chicken for two was taking a while so we ended up having two. No shame in that!
Amanda PerringJune 8, 2013Great restaurant on one of the cutest blocks in the West Village. The deviled eggs & bacon, coconut cake and East Side cocktail are amaze.
Erin LaneDecember 15, 2011Roast chicken for two is one of the richest and most delicious dishes I've had in NYC. Pasta starters are great, too. Come prepared to roll home.
HOBNOB MagazineFebruary 21, 2011fresh goods baked on the premises, noisy, but fab space, hamachi ceviche, snapper, sweet potato tortelloni, see photos here:
Elie KardousNovember 29, 2011Sits on my favorite block in the west village, very quiet and cozy street.. New American cuisine.their roasted chicken is to die for. great wine selection, friendly servers.
MeganJanuary 11, 2015The roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon vinaigrette paired with the duck was one of the best meals I've had in NYC.
Megan JohnsonJuly 19, 2014So yummy: himachi!! Seriously. Fried oysters. Summer corn side. Short rib pasta. Broccoli side w/garlic butter. 20 herb salad.
Serious EatsSeptember 23, 2013A restaurant with many things to recommend, but above all may be the stellar bread basket.
Dan ChenAugust 3, 2014The Cinnamon rolls and the Croque Madame are stellar. Great neighborhood brunch gem. No cash, cards only.- The Corcoran GroupSeptember 19, 2011We really enjoy the art deco atmosphere and the lively crowd. But they even pale in comparison to the 20 herb salad – you’ll be licking the plate.
Traci LevyMay 26, 2013Nice vibe. Great cocktail menu. 20 herb salad is delightful. Fettuccini with red sauce and ricotta is 100x better than it sounds.
Scott BerkaAugust 7, 2014The snapper was quite good. Also, everyone at the table really loved the butter. An odd tip, I realize.
The Steak Diane is perfection (cooked sous vide). Be sure to try a Last Word cocktail.
Thomas TaylorFebruary 13, 2011Amazing food while not being overly pretentious. The desserts are massive so beware of over ordering. Every day is a birthday, if you so wish you can eat birthday cake any night you want.
TrevorJuly 14, 2014Neither food, interior, nor service live up to the beautiful exterior on a postcard-perfect West Village block. Normal food with a haughty attitude ("please allow $5 for reasonable subsitutions").
Michael DempseyOctober 29, 2013Best restaurant in the west village. Go on a weeknight otherwise it can get a bit too loud.
Wesley BlissAugust 23, 2014A city staple. Excellent... everything. Sit at the bar if you're feeling noncommittal.
Neha KulkarniAugust 21, 2013You must get the birthday cake! Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side if you're feeling frisky.
Great food. Remember to bring a date that you don't need to talk with. The restaurant is so noisy that you can't talk.
Village VoiceDecember 12, 2013Go for the angel biscuits; they are light and feathery, simply delicious!
John-MarcusApril 12, 2013Scallops are the size of a fist and oh so juicy! Porter House for two is a no brainier if you are feeling carnivorous...
