Monkey Bar

“Service, Service, Service! Exceptional. Kudos to the entire staff for treating everyone with great attention to detail. Eleni was great and made my wife's birthday special in every way. The Monkey Bread, bibb lettuce salad and the French Dip were all Exceptional. The chocolate pie with whipped cream was a great way to finish the meal. Also Jill was great delight in telling us about the restaurant and the menu highlights. The ambiance and energy will just put a smile on your face.”

“Loved it!! Had no reservation, so showed up just before opening time and got a great table in bar area. Really friendly staff and wonderful food. The monkey bread still has me dreaming about it!! Great cocktails too. Atmosphere was fantastic and we were not rushed out. Will definitely be back next time we’re in NYC!”

“We finally got a reservation on Sunday at 2pm for brunch. When i entered the restaurant it was quite chaotic. It was almost zero degree and couldn’t seem to get someone to do the coat check (so I gave up). Also chaotic when checking in the reservation, but was at least seated pretty quickly. And things were a lot better after we got our table. Our server was so nice and friendly and kind. Love her! Truffle monkey bread was delicious and definitely not enough for 4 people to share cuz we all wanted a whole bread! Yummy! Highly recommend the crispy potato pancakes! I think it’s the best dish of the day. We also love the truffle mafaldine and the dry aged New York Strip steak.”

“Great food and ambiance. Would say similar vibes to polo bar but although polo bar has a meaningfully better, sharper martini but monkey bar has a better French dip and burger… so it’s a toss up which one is ultimately better. We got the rigatoni, French dip, burger and rib eye… French dip was hands down the best thing and I would go back just for that”

“I was really excited to try this restaurant out as i have heard many great things. We did not have a reservation as we know it’s extremely hard to get. So we decided to walk in around 8:45 pm and put our name down. The hostess was friendly and reassured us she can’t guarantee we get a table. We waited around and by 10 pm she came up to us and let us know that she could seat us. Shout out to her! I don’t remember her name but It’s a breath of fresh air when you get to experience nice front of house staff in this city. Our waitress , well two of them were very nice and let us know their opinions on the menu. We decided to order the .. famous monkey bread 8/10 the butter is what saves the bread. But i feel like it could’ve had more flavor Crab Rangoon 7.5/10 i thought there would be more crab filling , but the flavor was good. Double cheeseburger 8/10 it was good but nothing to seriously rave about. I like the au cheval burger better. Maple thick slice bacon - 9/10 it was very good! I really enjoyed the flavor profiles and the perform added a nice touch. Fries - 7/10 nothing special just fries . The aioli was decent but kind of a tangy aftertaste. Drinks : Vera - really delicious, fresh yet strong ! Old fashion - hubby said he enjoyed his drink as well We did have leftovers and i am quite disappointed to find out the man who packed out food did not include any of the condiments / sauces that went with our food. I asked him to include everything and I didn’t check the box considering I can trust someone to do their job correctly at this type of establishment , however he fell short on that part :/ Overall the experience was pleasant and I will return to try some of the other dishes!!”
