Reviews for Hourglass Bistro in New York, NY
The hostess was very friendly and kind. The food was also amazing. I had the spinach ravioli, and it was incredible and better... than I expected (photo attached). The ambiance was also really nice and calm. I would definitely recommend this place tofriends. One moment that was a little unsettling was that when an employee brought us our bread, the butter fell on the ground(in a plastic butter container) and he picked it up and put it back with our bread. However, the hostess was standing rightthere and sent it back for us to get fresh bread. So I am hopeful that this is not a normal occurrence. Read more
This restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way! The service was impressive, someone seated us, another next to her had... bread ready for us as we sat, another behind them had multiple bottles of water ready for us as soon as the other had set thebread down. The charcuterie board had meats, cheeses, pita bread, grapes, olives, and jam - I considered it large given theprice, the cocktails and wine were perfect and well-priced, and the service continued to be fantastic throughout. They hadseveral specials on top of a full menu available, and the specials were incredible, super large with sides as well and verywell-priced!! It was delicious and impossible to beat the service, I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting NYC. Read more
We ordered pasta and the pasta itself was fine, but the meat was not good at all. The shrimps were okay. The service was... inattentive, could definitely work on that! We also had cocktails, which were simply okay, but we would not recommendthem. Prices are not too expensive. Read more
We stopped here for some quick dinner for a show, and it was lovely. The chicken Alfredo was real, fresh and delicious. The... salad was the same. Even the giant roll was like that. I would definitely come here again to see if all the menu items matchthis theme. Plus the service and atmosphere were great. A great place to eat! Read more
My husband and I ate here the night we went to see Plaza Suite. I was also running the NYC 1/2 Marathon the next morning. We... came across this restaurant by accident back in 2016. We had to come back! The staff, the atmosphere and food are amazing! Thegrilled chicken was delicious!! We will be coming back when we are back in town. Thank you thank you! Read more
The hourglass bistro was phenomenal. I had the Spinach Ravioli and the sauce was exceptional. Their dirty martini was delicious... as well. The older couple, who I assumed to be the owners, were so welcoming and the ambiance was great. The older gentlemaneven took my jacket for me, laid it across an extra chair and said ?Like home.? Service was a tad slow but food that good isworth the wait, and their outdoor dining area made it pleasant regardless. Read more
OMG where to begin!!!?! We?ve been coming here for a few years until COVID hit so after a long hiatus we were excited to visit... the Hourglass once again. First, it?s changed owners since COVID and thank god because the last owner was very unpleasant todeal with. Stephanie has now bought the restaurant and I can?t even begin to describe how amazing she is - funny, welcoming,engaging, smart, and on top of everything. She clearly enjoys what she does and it really shows, I can?t think of a betterdining experience I?ve had in?. Almost ever, honestly. And her story of what eventually brought her to this point in her life isnothing short of inspirational. The food? amazing. It was good before but there?s a certain amount of new life that?s beenbreathed into everything. When one item I wanted wasn?t available, Stephanie was quick to improvise on the spot to deliver adelicious alternative, never wavering from her sense of humor and positive attitude throughout. There isn?t a restaurant in thecity I?d recommend more highly than this one and I really hope you get the pleasure of meeting Stephanie while you?re there, youwon?t be disappointed in your visit!!

From the moment we approached the restaurant we were greeted warmly and invited in. We had reservations for pre-show dining but... it wasn't necessary. We ordered off the entire menu. The food was great, the ambiance wonderful, the service perfect. We highlyrecommend this place. Read more
