Patrick SvenssonAugust 23, 2014The New York strip is amazing! And big too. If you're looking for a european coffee, their organic drip coffee is decent and way better than the regular american crap coffee you find everywhere else.
Kanari K.September 30, 2016Great service, very friendly staff. Orders: Tuscan Kale, Chicken & Rhubarb salad + Lobster Chowder + Wayfarer Burger + Asparagus & Shiitake Fettuccini. No room for dessert this time 👌🏻😊
Lauren DJanuary 31, 2017Came for a quick lunch. The decor was nice. The staff seated me immediately and were very accommodating. Very quick with the food too! (As was my request). & tasty!!
MuratNovember 7, 2018Asian-American fusion. Food is exceptionally delicious. Wine/liquors/cocktails are very good. Spacious, good for groups. Bar is very lively. Staff is so kind. Prices are above average. Very chic.- Lauren DJanuary 31, 2017The goat cheese appetizer was delicious. The chicken pot pie was a bit cold-though I did rush them w/ a 30 min time constraint. The toffee dessert with caramel & pomegranates was wonderful!
Trae FMarch 10, 2019Midtown tourist prices but the seafood tower is a good deal at $29/person. Good old fashioneds too. We had a great server but I’ll leave this place to the tourists.
Chelsea RenaudNovember 12, 2015If you wind up around The Wayfarer, head to the second floor. There’s a comfortable bar/lounge up there with plenty of couches and a view of the street below
Tara DîanaMarch 6, 2016Great sushi - the rainbow roll is great - the caviar on it is delicious, and the shiso leaf switches it up
Dana MarieSeptember 22, 2016Never disappoints. All of the sushi is great and the Poke was fantastic. Great lunch spot.
Tara DeVincenzoJuly 22, 2015definitely earned its rep for great seafood but don't sleep on the melt-in-your-mouth pork tenderloin.
Nathan WrightDecember 24, 2014Cozy atmosphere and great seafood. Try a "New Pal" cocktail - a unique twist on the Old Pal.
Jumana IApril 14, 2014One of the best breakfast I ever had in Manhattan, loved the Belgium waffles with roasted banana
Russell HirschornApril 17, 2016SUPER expensive, at these prices plan ahead and go to Sarabeths. French toast was soaked in VERY sweet sauce and they gave syrup! Omlette was fine, potatoes were suspicious. Bacon was not great.
Jackie MucilliMarch 30, 2015Lots of great cocktails. Small menu, but good. Get the chicken sandwich!
Shamael Al-SharikhJuly 10, 2016The restaurant's location is perfect, but food was not something you'd write home about. The ginger crusted salmon was lukewarm and the short rib steak was overcooked.
Joris BramsJanuary 5, 2019Got The burger and asked a side salade. Got food poisening because of the unfresh salat. On 01/04/19 and had to fly to Europe that evening. Absolute dump and total discrase. Sack The chef. Still sick
Tony EverettJanuary 25, 2014Great food,drinks and waitstaff!!! Try the "Man about town" Cocktail! #Blokeapproved!
Megan MastersFebruary 5, 2019Ran into Eric Trump tonight at the really hot restaurant. His SS were eyeing us all as we walked in.
Carmen AugstineMay 19, 2015I wish I had only ordered a plate of fries. I think they are twice fried. Very meaty. Reminiscent of Pommes Frites (RIP).
Mariya DubininaMay 21, 2016Ousters was awful. Nor enough clean and the taste was strange. Steaks are good and tuna fish tar tar was fine too.
Aline KCDecember 28, 2015The salmon bagel it's good but when I go to a restaurant I expect this prepared food, don't have to prepared it by myself 👎🏼
Evgeny MandrikDecember 27, 2014Very slow. You'll spend an hour waiting for a glass of wine and americano. Literally.
Matthew FergusonMarch 4, 2018The atmosphere has a fun 70’s vibe but the food is mediocre and bland. The namesake cocktail tasted like a glass of celery water.
Adam GoldenbergAugust 30, 2014For a seafood restaurant, the steaks are amazing and I love the marrow bone they serve with them. Also have to try the walrus omelet at breakfast or brunch...so good.
