Devon DarrowMarch 11, 2017Incredible food and an incredible, intimate experience. From the cocktails to the main entrees, this was one of the best meals I've had in NYC. I suggest this for a special occasion like a birthday.
EMarch 18, 2015Hidden gem. One of my favorite cocktail bars in West Village. Delicious seasonal french plates available. Cozy, intimate, chic. Recommend for dates or catching up with a friend.
Rafi SyedJune 23, 2014Xavier is a gem. Ask him for a cocktail reco and you can't go wrong. Do the prix fixe and you'll be stuffed. Don't miss the barley risotto, which is much lighter than a normal risotto. Sit outside.
Nick AndlingerFebruary 24, 2016Been here multiple times and the food is consistently on point. Plus, they have some of the best bar tending in the west village.
Elizabeth BursteinDecember 30, 2017super cute small cocktail place. i had the Shush and it was so spicy/good with chipotle! the shore leave is another amazing cocktail brady and i got with adelyn + oliver. comes in tiki jar!
The Sho Sho (made with carrots, ginger, sherry) and the Tete de Mule (gin, ginger syrup, carbonated mint-and-green-tea water) are light but divine cocktails. Xavier is a phenomenal bartender!
Margarita KrupJanuary 11, 2015So happy to find this gem! The cocktails are perfectly balanced. Ask the bartender to surprise you with an off the menu drink. Have to come back for the food.
Honghui YuOctober 31, 2017Tiny, intimate space with good cocktails and wines by the glass. I love that it's not very busy even on weekend nights, probably due to the fact that it's tucked away from the main drag.
Mike McBryanDecember 11, 2014Small spot with an even tinier kitchen. Make reservations for dinner or hope to get lucky for one of the four seats at the bar. Get the New Fashioned cocktail (includes maple syrup).- Elizabeth BursteinFebruary 19, 2018Incredible restaurant and cocktail spot !! The burger and oysters are the bomb! The spice dessert w ice cream and beet cocktail are ok. Would definitely go back!
Ray LopesNovember 19, 2017Fantastic NYC dinner: Long Island Duck, Negroni Bianco and Banana Bread. Tiny place (make a reservation) and worth every cent.
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015The Bitches say: B+. Wallflower is a little gem in the West Village, with charming brunch offerings, courteous staff, and an idyllic atmosphere that will draw you back for a second meal. Read more
Caroline SchulweisApril 28, 2014If you're having dinner, the lobster dish is great. Get a chèvre course to start and a taste from the raw bar. The waiters had good recs so I'd recommend enlisting their help too.
Winson WongFebruary 2, 2015Really amazing cocktails. Love the cozy space, great for dates. Food options were limited, tasty but not amazing. Disappointed with the bouillabaisse (see photo). Service was attentive.
John ColglazierFebruary 11, 2018The SHUSH cocktail was great! Very small venue, but I like the drinks. Plan to come back for food...
John EFebruary 13, 2018An intimate West Village gem. Don’t miss the tuna tartare or Cornelia cocktail if you’re a mezcal fan.
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanSeptember 15, 2015New brunch menu. Lobster & grits 👌. Savory morning bun. Good drinks to boot. It's a neighborhood gem for good reason.
Victoria NatenzonMay 3, 2014Tapas. The mixologist made me one of the best drinks EVER here. I have no idea what it was, but it was spicy and incredible. Small spot, will be more difficult with large groups.
Andrew ChoiAugust 9, 2014Quaint French location perfect for an intimate or romantic cocktail. Get the Adam & Eve, served like this with a paper straw!
Nathalie NareauApril 16, 2014Cute cocktail bar, I would make a reservation unless you prefer to sit at the bar. They make a really great smokey cocktail that is a must try for the whiskey lover.
Arielle SilvermanMarch 15, 2015Came for my boyfriend's bday, one of my favorite meals in the city. Splurge for the tasting menu, so worth it! Favorites include snapper crudo and the cod.
Alexandra LeiteJune 3, 2015Get your girl or boy, start with a cocktail, advance to a bottle of wine and be happy... You're in one of these little spots that made you be in love with the village.
Jeff SolomonSeptember 30, 2017Love the atmosphere at this tiny cocktail bar. If you come before 7pm on a weekday, they have excellent happy hour specials
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014This cozy restaurant offers an excellent selection of cocktails from the former head bartender at Daniel, all paired with a concise and well-executed food menu.- Valentin GuerinJanuary 19, 2015This place is a hidden gem! The restaurant has a really menu, with a French inspiration. You can also have great cocktails at bar.
Cagla IcacanJune 17, 2017It's a cozy hidden gem.🍹: Shush / Look, No Hands *** 🍽️: Deviled eggs & gnocchi *** 🍰: Key Lime Pavlova
- Elizabeth BursteinMarch 26, 2018Love coming here on a slow early evening - monday 7:30 and have the window seat and my tiki drank :) perfection.
Jessica AbellMarch 5, 2014Great little hidden gem! Perfect for really good cocktails, and they have a small dining room as well. Love this place.
SunainaJanuary 11, 2015Cute lil hole in the wall place. Great cocktails... Perfect for a date spot... Love the lighting and the tin ceiling.
ArdvaarkMay 1, 2016If it's after 8, and you like creamy, minty drinks, the After Eight is right up your alley.
AmateurConciergeJuly 28, 2015For spicy cocktails, Shush >> Cornelia. Scallops are excellent and I don't even like scallops. Skip the tuna tartare: too much sesame oil.
Nate SMay 26, 2017Perfect date spot - sit at the small booth in the window and sip cocktails together.- Valentin GuerinSeptember 28, 2015Always great, everything is good and the place is so cozy. Your date will love it!
Emi KMay 28, 2015The Stockholm syndrome cocktail is amazing - citrusy, not sweet, kind of savory. The waitress called it funky lemonade
Rachel LynchJune 8, 2017really great crab toast and soup! Risotto is amazing, and order a few cocktails!
diana🐇December 11, 2016$7 punch of the day during happy hour! + really tasty food and drinks + cozy warm space
miles lennonMarch 6, 2016In the winter they have a special cocktail called the Black Tie. If you dig bourbon you'll dig this.
Rachel SmithFebruary 11, 2016Very small but cocktails original, steal flavorful but not large enough to split between 2 ppl like other steak options in city
JeffreyMarch 5, 2014Essential Cocktail: The Betty Draper, a ready-for-Winter, gin-and-calvados special with Sherry, celery juice, apple bitters
Laura PacasOctober 22, 2016Great, cozy atmosphere. Drinks were made to our taste and wonderful customer service.
Umair ZiaFebruary 9, 2014Probably one of the coolest cocktail bars I've been to in NYC. Try the drink Sush.
laurenSeptember 4, 2014Great place for drinks & a snack, not a great dinner spot unless you're doing the pre fixe menu.
Melissa D.January 17, 2014Friendly service. Not your everyday cocktails. Thoroughly enjoyed the tartare and the rabbit.
