Minetta Tavern New York Reviews from The Last 180 Days

Yelp: 🙂 (16) Tripadvisor: 🙂 (5)

😒

Came here for brunch one rainy sunday afternoon.

3/5 by Nicole R. on 04/06/2022

It was not crowded and we were seated promptly with a reservation. We both ordered the black label burger since it was the main reason we decided to eat here in the first place. heard rave reviews on this burger. With the burger, we also ordered a side of bacon instead of cocktails...$21 for a bloody mary seemed excessive. Minetta Tavern gets a star for service, a star for restaurant decor (the corner booth they gave us was lovely), and a star for the fries that came with the burger. the bacon tasted like grilled ham as opposed to bacon - not worth it. The burger was extremely underwhelming and under seasoned (if it was even seasoned at all). would have liked to come back to try the steaks but if the quality of the burger is any indication, then i feel like we'd end up just coming back to eat an under seasoned and overpriced steak as well. in my opinion 2 burgers and a side of bacon for over $100 was not worth it.

So originally today I went to Balthazar craving bone marrow

5/5 by Brooke K. on 04/04/2022

So originally today I went to Balthazar craving bone marrow to find out it's no longer on the menu!!! Whaaattt!!!???!!! So this nice lady sitting at the bar told me that Minetta Tavern (which is sister to Balthazar) had an amazing bone marrow...needless to say I'm really glad I went.I came early and sat at the bar and ordered the bone marrow. The bartender Matt was really friendly and knew the menu front and back and also told me the bone marrow is super delicious.The portion is big and comes with really good sliced toasted buttered bread and some red onion jam ( I think) the bone marrow was so delicious!!!! So so so good! It was so flavorful and mixed with the jam ig really heightened the flavor.The burger that other ppl were eating looked super good as well. I'll def be back for that!!

4/5 by SJ P. on 04/03/2022

Obscenely overpriced even for NY, however perfectly lit and mysterious just the way we love it. It's billed as the best burger in the city and so maybe $38 seems reasonable for top sirloin? But $14 for sparking water and now everyone at this crowded TripAdvisor trap has officially lost their minds. It's worth a one time visit when daddy's in town but a repeat dip is TBD.

Not a bad dinner but based on how much we spent, I think it

4/5 by Joan L. on 04/03/2022

Not a bad dinner but based on how much we spent, I think it was a tad underwhelming at times. -Reservation Process:I had heard raving reviews from a few NY locals so I planned in advance and made reservations a month ahead of time to celebrate a friend's birthday. (Even then, most of the prime times get booked up very quickly so I suggest nabbing a spot asap.) The website doesn't allow you to book for a group of 5 or larger so we had to call in for our group of 9. I spoke to a lady the first time and was told there was no way to seat 9 people together and that we wouldn't be able to split a table for 4 and 5 separately. So, I just made a reservation for 5 (over the phone) and booked a separate table for 4, also under my name, through the website. Upon arrival, I notified the hostess of this detail and a tall gentleman (perhaps an owner or manager) ended up telling us it was not an issue and immediately went to fit the tables together for us, which I really appreciated. Even with coat check and all, they were able to seat us early for our 5:30pm reservation. The food:We came in a big group so there was no way I could have tried everything that was ordered but here goes: -Dry Aged Cote De Boeuf: Comes with bone marrow, butter toasted french bread, and a small gem salad. For two, about $180 dish. I'd say, save your money and order something else. My boyfriend and I ordered this as we figured it was a nice dinner for a special occasion and we were honestly disappointed with it for how much it costs. We requested for medium rare, but I think the meat itself could be cooked just a tad longer as it was really difficult to chew and cut with our knives. Our jaws felt pretty tired after finishing the whole portion. I will say, the bone marrow was amazing and while the gem salad was really small, it was a nice palate cleanser from all the meat. -Pommes Aligot: Fancy mashed potatoes. Really buttery and smooth. I enjoyed this a lot despite being quite full. I kept coming back for more. -Lobster Thermidor: My friend let me have some of her entrée as she couldn't finish this dish. We both said it was good flavor wise, and the lobster was cooked fine but it just felt really heavy and too filling from the Bechamel sauce. -Soufflé: We got a Grand Marnier and a Chocolate to share with the whole table. They were pretty sizeable which was nice for our larger party. Our overall consensus was the Grand Marnier being the favorite. The slight orange gave a very pleasant but not overpowering taste, and I would say it's probably the best soufflé I've had! Chocolate was more rich so it felt slightly heavier. -Apple Tart: This was good, really nice served warm. Beautiful presentation. Flakey and enjoyable but I still think the soufflés were the winner.The atmosphere and service: Service was pretty attentive. Took a bit to get our order taken but our server was constantly watching our table after that. Our napkins were always folded and the table cloth was changed between our entrées and dessert. I enjoyed the vintage atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. Dimly lit and cozy. Lots of history and character. This place is quite small so it's always packed. While some of the food was a miss, the overall feel of the restaurant kept it at a 4 star for me. Overall: I would probably come back to try their famous burger and for more of their soufflé.

5/5 by amelia s. on 03/31/2022

The hostess was awesome and we watched her handle a very busy Front desk with calm and well skilled structure in managing incoming guests ! Kudos to her !The restaurant is bustling and vibing with an overcrowded bar ! When we were eventually seated ;The waiter was awesome ... very into his job and sharing his passion for helping us choose the cocktail and food ! The mussels were excellent and we shared them as an appetizer . Josh had onion soup and it was delicious!Thumbs up !Next was the two burgers and a steak - we chose to share and determine which we liked better - us being burger snobs... . Sounded better than they tasted I'm afraid ! We ordered one medium and one medium rare ... both came rare and were sent back ! The more expensive aged beef one was better but the regular burger for me without cheese - did NOT like the flavor at all and couldn't eat it ! The good news is that as busy as the restaurant is, the management know what's going on and swiftly the manager came over and saw I wasn't eating it ! Offered to take it away , order something else and remove from the bill ! The steak - was alright ... not awesome . Flavor good but it didn't seem charred and grilled - tho it was ... was cooked medium and yet it was cold ... ?Thank you - the service was excellent and all staff were very attentive ...! We loved the ambience and will for sure be back

5/5 by Ben G. on 03/25/2022

I've heard rave reviews about the burger here and was seeing a show nearby last night so I thought I'd stop in and try my luck eating here without a reservation. It didn't look good at first, as I walked into the door to see a packed house at 9pm, but luckily there was one seat open at the bar. I sat down and was impressed by the old school service by the bartenders. A napkin laid down, a place set, my beer poured and I was ready for my burger.

😍

Love this place.

5/5 by Pett O. on 03/10/2022

The staff is really nice. All school waiters, theta seem to be enjoying working there. This place has a long history, and it is now run by the same owner of Balthasar, Cade Luxembourg and Odeon. All of them good. The old burger is not to be missed. Beautiful space. .

Obviously an incredible restaurant, and one of the rare

5/5 by Mike N. on 03/10/2022

Obviously an incredible restaurant, and one of the rare places that truly lives up to the hype.Goes without saying but the burger is truly special. A lot of places hype up the 'quality' of the beef they use, but this is one of the rare instances where you really taste the difference. Can't recommend it enough. Went this past weekend and they had a lobster risotto special- that was one of the better things I've eaten in a while. We split it as an app and my wife and I were fighting over it by the end. Awesome Their chocolate soufflé is also incredible- def worth the time it takes.

😍

A wonderful experience from the get go.

5/5 by Cathey S. on 03/07/2022

Although tables were very close together - typical NY style - we were too busy enjoying the wonderful food and excellent service. Our waiter Tony was incredibly helpful in suggesting the best cocktail for our meal. We ordered the bone marrow & butter salad for starters and both mussels and fries for main. Delicious chocolate pudding and rum pie for desert. Lovely atmosphere for an early Sunday dinner. We were seated at the back of the restaurant - away from the cracking busy bar at the front. Will be back for that next special occasion!

5/5 by Tim N. on 03/06/2022

This was my first time at Minetta Tavern and this was the best experience I've had at an establishment in a really long time.... Maybe ever. I walked in and was so kindly and warmly greeted by two hostesses that were just lovely, I was then greeted in the same fashion by the bartenders. They made delicious cocktails and were friendly and thorough. Really great service. I had the Black Label burger and it was just a beautiful and an outstanding burger. The fries and their homemade pickle was equally as great as the burger. I can't wait to come back. Thank you to the staff for making me fall in love with this place. See you soon.

Haven't been to Minetta in a few years and recently stopped in for lunch. The food and service were excellent. We had;Bone marrow - absolutely top notchBlack Label burger - IMO the best burger in the city.

For my boyfriend's birthday, he wanted "NYC's best burger"

5/5 by Courtney A. on 03/03/2022

For my boyfriend's birthday, he wanted "NYC's best burger" and through lots of research and consulting friends, Minetta Tavern was the winner. We snagged a 7:30PM reservation and it did not disappoint. At $36 for a burger, it's definitely on the pricier side but the kind of place you go for a celebratory meal. In addition to the burgers, we ordered the chocolate soufflé and the special Brussels sprouts. All of the food was great, but the burger was without a doubt the shining star of the meal and without a doubt makes it into the top 2 burgers we have ever had. Behind the food itself, the atmosphere feels like true old school NYC. A bustling bar, red leather booths, black and white photos crowding the walls, it is worth the hype. Also great for out of towners who are ready to spend some money. Lastly, the service was great and none of the waiters were stuffy like you sometimes get at fancy NYC restaurants.

😍

Amazing bar experience

5/5 by Matthew M on 02/27/2022

Consider this one of the best bar dining experiences in the city, hands down. Disregard having literally the two best burger options in the city, at the bar you have access to the full dinner menu which includes (Chef Laurent’s) specials that are why many come back.
Expect high end service if you dine at the bar because that’s what you’ll get. High end, down to earth, great bar, great food, great bartenders. Hospitality. They get it.

3/5 by Sam P. on 02/13/2022

We booked this place for New Year's Day but changed our mind that day. That was a good decision as we were there today and we were not impressed. It's a won't return for me 'Let's start with the Bloody Mary - hands down one of the worst I have ever had! It was their green version and I was expecting a tomatillo vibe but it tasted like green kale and celery juice with alcohol thrown in. It was thin and way too sweet! Then the food was not much better - grilled oysters were oily and one was rotten - badly rotten! Lobster roll tasted really good and would have been perfect - if the lobster was not undercooked - several pieces were bordering on raw. French onion soup was great, Burrata was pedestrian and too cold - it needs a bit of time to warm a little as it was a solid block but the relish that was with it was good .It was just mediocre all around and the service matched the food!! It's also way overpriced - I have no issue paying good money for great food but this was not great and the thing that kills me most is one of my fave pubs is down the street with dishes that are half the price and way better and a crazy food beer selection which this place did not have.The server - we were at the bar - talked incessantly to a guy at the bar - I think it was her attempt at flirting- and she was seemingly an expert on everything from details about each state in the US to music - so someone else had to remove plates and do her job for her which she was certainly not an expert at !People seem to love this place so maybe we just had an off experience but won't be back - it's my worst meal in NYC in years!

Had such a lovely experience at Minetta Tavern with immaculate service. The staff are so helpful and friendly and attendant to us.I came here with a friend and we got oysters and bone marrow to split as appetizers.I got the burger as my entree and it's for sure one of the top 5 burgers I've had in NYC. To drink I got the white rabbit cocktail which is a tequila based drink. Tasty and smooth.Would for sure recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting out of town and I'll for sure be coming back

🙂

a classic for a reason.

4/5 by Kris M. on 02/10/2022

go for the burger and martini, stay for the souffle (not on the main menu, but pretty much always available). grand marnier flavor is delectable, chocolate is solid as well. a la mode is a must.

🙂

Definitely worth a trip

4/5 by Eveleen O on 01/20/2022

Lovely restaurant in a real chic part of New york, food was fabulous; the only thing I would fault is that we booked outdoors and while they had an outdoor set up, there was certainly not enough heating.

😍

Best meal of our trip!

5/5 by jbr701 on 01/17/2022

Simply amazing. The atmosphere and food were the best of our trip. I got the Filet Au Poivre and my wife got the mushroom risotto. Both were outstanding. I highly recommend.

🙂

A Gem

4/5 by LA1289 on 01/08/2022

Minetta Tavern is a gem, from its pressed tin ceiling to its imaginative French bistro menu. The crepinet was ground chicken stuffed with chunks of foie gras and then enveloped in a very thin crepe. Duck breast was perfectly prepared. Even quite late on a weeknight, getting a table required patience, but was certainly worth the wait.

😒

Snobbish staff, noisy. Good burger.

3/5 by onthemach on 01/07/2022

The rude staff ruins the experience. It is noisy and guests are crammed like sardines.
Food is of good quality, prepared with fresh ingredients.

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
