Reviews
Really great spot - would highly highly recommend! The service was great - super friendly staff and bartenders. The ambience was phenomenal - very chique. Mike was our bartender and was super friendly - made great drinks as well! Place can get a bit pricey but would say it was totally worth it! Loved the Tokyo Blossom - make sure you try a seasonal cocktail when you visit. Definitely check it out and get Mike to make your drinks!
Located inside the Andaz 5th Avenue on floor C. The atmosphere is great and they have excellent breakfast. Highly recommended.
Excellent service and great breakfast. For me
The best were the pancakes with fresh berries.
Cool restaurant and bar in the basement level of the Andaz hotel. Just had a few cocktails and wine here but they also serve food which I’ll be back to try. The cocktails were all really good. I had an Old Fashioned and a smoky cocktail (I forgot the name) that was served up with a little show (see video).
Be careful with your belongings in this bar someone stole my jacket from the coat hanger (with my car keys in it) we asked the management to check the security cams to track the individual who took by a credit card transaction of the table where this thief was and they took my number, I went back 4 days later in person and they already have trashed my info and told me that the guy who check the cameras had not showed up for 4 days, after almost 2 weeks no response from them 🥸, this is the treatment you get after you spent almost $800 in this insecure “fansy Bar”.
This is a really nice find. Warm and intimate atmosphere. They serve delicious food and unique cocktails that are great. My waitress Diane was also terrific!
I loved the HOUSE SMOKED SAZERAC | 18 rye whiskey, cognac, demerara, peychauds, angostura bitters, absinthe rinse, smoked
apple wood.
I also enjoyed the Acorn Squash Humas and Shishito Peppers!
I will be back again for sure!
The Bar Downstairs has a sign right next to a super bright and uniquely designed door. But, you don’t immediately think it is a door to a bar by looking at it. I actually remember walking by here on my way to somewhere else, thinking it is an interesting “graffiti”…
The inside was dimly lit, and much bigger than I thought. One thing about having a restaurant or bar in the basement is that there is a chance you can get a pretty good size space. Here, they had large sofas, low tables and chair by the entrance, showing off the large open space.
They have a lot of seating, all around the walls, by the bar, and everywhere in between. The tables in the open space were big long tables, meant to be shared among many customers. They have smaller tables around the wall, smaller size for two or possibly three people if you squeeze into it.
We started off with a couple of cocktails, Gin Gin Mule and Vodka Cobbler. They came in a nice large glass, high quality and tasty. With the portion and quality of the drink, I thought it was worth the price tag. For food, we ordered Papas Bravas and Shishito peppers. They were both great, addictive and tasty. We had two more cocktails, Airmail and Pisco Sour before ending the night. They were both classy and delicious.
The service was friendly and we had a really nice, relaxing time here. The cocktails were great, and the little snacks we had were both tasty also. With its spacious interior, it didn’t feel crowded the entire time we were there, and we never felt like we were being rushed.

This is my 9th visit. Service is still extremely slow. See how the restaurant is really not full, yet it took me 15 mins just to flag down the waitress. In fact, she passed by twice and ignored my waving at her, then the third time yelled …
