Reviews for Monkey Bar in New York, NY
We had a late Saturday night post Thanksgiving day dinner celebration. Loved the old school New York City vibe in the dining... room. The servers were polite, accommodating and attentive. The food was classic dishes prepared well. We had the crab cakes,truffle pasta and chicken parmigiana Read more
Went on a Friday at around 6:30, did not get seated until around 9pm. This place gets packed really fast. But it was definitely... worth the wait. The food was AMAZING! Read more
Excellent food, outstanding drinks, top notch atmosphere, a must go among NYC staples!
Super dark venue; great for dates, but very hard to see anything! It's intimate, that's for sure. Each table gives a small light... that you need to put next to you, if you want to see the menu. As for the food: - dip - not as good as 4 charles prime (sisterrestaurant), but definitely still solid meat - 42 day steak - absolutely delicious at medium rare - roasted chicken -surprisingly very moist and delicious - tartare - raw and tasty with the egg; bread is a bit hard - mashed potato - must get;incredibly oily and delicious - cocktails - well executed (cosmo/martinis) - $50 corkage fee Overall, very NYC vibes and oldschool feeling. Food is excellent overall, especially the 42 day steak and mashed potatoes. Very reasonable corkage fee, butextremely costly cocktails (mid $20s up to $74). Will visit again. Read more
Outstanding food quality and service! Beautiful historic restaurant. An oasis among the very loud city. Pretty expensive but a... great place to linger. Staff, except the coat check lady, are very friendly. Gave the coat check lady a $5 tip and she rolledher eyes. This restaurant is amazing! Read more
Second attempt to visit. This time they at least honored the reservation but not in the dining room. Food was excellent and the... bar is top notch. Read more
Cool place with a casual chic atmosphere. Not too trendy, not too classic, just the perfect mix. Vichy tablecloths, red leather... seats, copper and wood. Fun monkey illustrations on the wall. The room in the back is a bit fancier. Good cocktails, decentselection of wine. Live piano when we were there on a Saturday night. Service was not enthusiastic but good enough. Read more
Amazing burger! Get the crab Rangoon if you?d like a little appetizer. Great vibes with murals in every wall and large plush... booths. Highly recommend the pickled onion martini! Read more
