  1. I went here with a group of co-workers when we were staying overnight in NYC for some work meetings.  It was close to our hotel and there was a blizzard going on so it wasn't  too far of a walk.  My boss recommended it as he knows I try to eat healthy and also vegetarian, so he thought this place would have some good items that I'd like.  

    We looked online at the menu and I found several things that looked really good, so the group of us went and were seated in a nice large round table at the corner of the restaurant. They had a great set up for us for such a large group. Luckily since there was a blizzard they were not crowded and we were seated quickly.  I really appreciated the large round table compared to the long table arrangement – it can be frustrating at a long table as you end up with just a series of mini-conversations versus a really engaged group discussion.  Anyway, the round table was a definitely plus.

    I was disappointed however that the menu we were handed when we arrived was nothing like the menu that we saw online.  My boss joined us for dinner later and also expressed surprise that the menu had changed.  I guess the lesson here for my Yelp friends is that if you look for the online menu for Heartbeat you might want to confirm that the menu items you are interested in are really available.  We got a a large assortment of appetizers for the table.  Most were so-so but the bacon mac & cheese was especially delish.  I just had a small spoonful of this as we just ordered one for the whole table but it was oh-so good … I'm not a strict vegetarian & do it mostly for health so sometimes I'll make exceptions from my vegetarianism for bacon!  Yum.  

    Overall the meal was really good.  Definitely it was pricey.   Wine was pricey by the glass – one of the cheaper glasses available was about $13 … compare that to what you might normally pay for a glass of wine at other establishments, and you'll understand how pricey the place is.  Overall it was really nice, but if I were in the area looking for a place to eat, I'd probably pass it by next time and look for something else.

  2. Had dinner here on a Friday night before Valentines day. Place was empty, so we were a bit concerned, but it was late, and we had just checked in and were hungry. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised by the service and the food. I had the Salmon (which I don't normally eat) and it was very nicely done. Good wine selection as well.

    Maybe because it's tucked into the back of the Hotel Lobby, there isn't as much walk-by traffic, but I would eat there again if in the area.
