JR -January 4, 2015One of my favourite restaurants in NYC. Amazing flavours in every dish! Try the duck confit risotto, scallops with pork shank and BEER PANCAKES. Get the beer too! Exceptional service as well!
Amy KirbyFebruary 20, 2014The food choices are unique & beautifully plated. The pilsner 4 ways is fun to sample. Portions are small and prices are high. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. Was still hungry after 3 courses.
Village VoiceJune 3, 2013This Czech-influenced gastropub has a tasteful menu of small plates. The fried egg bread, crusty and warm with sliced ham, or the local duck breast flecked with huckleberries are solid choices.
Jean-Charles HodouinOctober 23, 2013Good stuff try the big apple they treat us with tasty delight mise en bouche...luv the ambiance and decor. Personnel is so sweet and relaxing. Chef rene has been there still july 2013.
MatthewJuly 1, 2013Everything about this place is 5 star. Beer flight is great for those looking to try some fun brews from Pilsner Urquell. Happy hour 4-7! Half price beers. Great ambience.
Bucky B.May 27, 2012The beers are great. But, for you foodies out there... Wow! That's all I can say. Everything is unique and absolutely delicious. A bit pricey, but an enjoyable experience.
- Village VoiceJanuary 18, 2013This place may look like a hole in the wall on the outside but, like our mothers told us,” don’t judge a book by its cover.” Try the authentic Czech pilsner and duck breast, for a pallet testing meal.
Gabbie ChamorroNovember 23, 2013VERY disappointing portions. There's too much legit food in UES for this to be in my top 10. With that said, GREAT beer selection and good, attentive service. Go with the duck.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the exceptional beef tongue. The meat is poached until meltingly tender, gently smoked then sliced into supple batons. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
SizzleMelMarch 25, 2012Cute place, great food, friendly service. Go here for dinner and/or excellent Czech beer on tap.
Brew YorkAugust 9, 2011They only serve one type of beer (Pilsner Urquell), served four different ways. Not convinced? Try the Creme Urquell, and you'll never think about Czech Pilsners the same way again.
Rumana SiddikyFebruary 13, 2013Beef tartare isn't something I generally love. It is now. The truffle essence is just right.
Emily HuntFebruary 9, 2012Great food + service... love the fact provided complimentary soup tasting + beer... beer sampler great
Julie ZuckerNovember 3, 2012Try the Halibut - The smoked tomato sauce was finger licking, literally!!! With DZ, jenmen, g-money, Molly
Marcelo SoaresJune 24, 2011Spectacular Pilsner Urquell tasting. Perfect service. Smoked beef tongue is wonderful.
