It's nice to come here have a drink next to the big windows and see people pass by. And that's what we did after strolling through 5th avenue the whole day. It was a nice little stop before dinner.
I had a glass of Bailey's & hubby had a scotch, both glasses were generous. The service was ok, not very fast nor very friendly, but nothing too bad.
11pm on a Thursday overnight date night + a bar downstairs in our hotel + bitter cold outside = no brainer! Loved the bartender, an older gentleman who thought the Foursquare check-in offer should be applied to more than one drink and he made lovely cocktails. They are some interesting regulars if you sit at the bar – makes for a fun evening, even if you don't engage, but just listen. Even though we had the Le Bernardin tasting at 5pm I needed a bedtime snack and decided to ruin my classy palate with some rock shrimp tempura – maybe a bit too much batter but they were tasty and the aioli was great. Love the Mad Men-esque cocktail menu. Fabulous old-school vibe but definitely NYC prices!
This hotel bar has the quaint charm of an old, storied venue but not really the glamor. The selection of whiskey is limited but they can make a lot of cocktails. The service is attentive and nice.
It's probably one of the better places in the area for a no frill drink or rendezvous but there's nothing particular special about it either.
What a great place to chill, have a bite and watch people. I checked in on FB and the manager came by to say hi and offer a drink.
Christopher, our waiter was top notch and the lite bites, wine and coffee with Baileys was perfect pre theater. Everyone nearby was chatting about shows they were going to see.
New York and visitors at their best… A great spot to chill and escape the crowd, cold or whatever.
Thanks Mr. Manager for Coming To Say hi and the free drink. You are too cute.
I was staying at the Warwick for the weekend and as I passed by I saw the grilled watermelon salad on the menu. I asked if it was on the room service menu and a whole group of people went out of their way to find out.
Starving I sat down and ordered it. Possibly one of the best salads I have had in a while. The service at the restaurant blew my mind. Well done! Can't wait to return my next trip!
We stopped in at Randolph's after a show at City Center. The windows were decorated with white Christmas lights and it looked like a warm, inviting place in a cold night. It was about 10:30 and the bar was pretty full. We were greeted immediately and seated at a table by window. Randolph's has a nice, warm feeling, with dark wood walls.
We ordered a Negroni and a mojito. Both were good. We also ordered the charcuterie plate as we wanted something light to eat. This is a very large assortment of cheeses and meats. All were very good. At $26, the charcuterie seems expensive but it served as a light meal for two, so the price wasn't outrageous.
All in all, Randolph's was the perfect fit for what we wanted – a nice place to have a drink and snacks late on a Friday evening.
The service was good, attentive and prompt.
Meeting up with another couple at the Warwick Hotel, my girl and I decided to sit and grab a drink at Randolph's while waiting for the love-birds to get back from their meandering. Having eaten a rather hearty lunch late in the day we were not in the mood for dinner yet so we decided to just sit back and relax with a glass of wine. I chose a "super Tuscan" Brancaia which has the bold, hearty flavor you expect from a mostly Sangiovese blend. My girl decided to go with the Chateau la Gordonne rosé which was a little too soft for my palate. After some time the friends we were waiting for finally arrived (with a crap load of random stuff they bought) and after dropping off their conquest decided to join us at the restaurant. We drank and chit-chatted for some time which was quite difficult considering the restaurant was beyond packed on that evening.
Randolph's is warm and inviting with the simple elegance to make guests feel right at home. Leather lounge chairs abound along with plenty use of wood fixtures. It kind of reminds me of the scene in Titanic where the men retire to their private smoke room to enjoy a glass of cognac and smoke cigars. The place is dimly lit but not really dark. For a bar and lounge attached to a hotel it's a great spot to just chillax for some time.
Going back to my party and I–realizing that we needed some kind of food to hold us over until we finally got hungry enough to venture outside in the gloomy, drizzly weather we ordered the cheese and meat platter along with some lobster sliders. The wine we were drinking fit quite well with what we ordered. The cheese and meat platter had the usual suspects with smoked blue cheese in particular being my favorite. The lobster sliders were a disappointment especially after hearing much praise about how good it was from our server. I don't know if they just got overwhelmed in the kitchen, but the lobster salad in the slider tasted like something out of Costco and the bread, which was supposed to be buttery, tasted soggy. At $22 a pop for a small appetizer I wasn't too happy. But hey what are you going to do. It's a lounge in a luxury hotel in the middle of New York City during the holidays. I should have expected it. Overall though Randolph's was a good stop before doing the touristy thing around the area.
