Editorial Review for Bond 45 – by Kara Zuaro

In Short
Inside this mammoth Times Square restaurant, the dark wood bar is shined to a high polish, and tables dressed in white linens are flanked by leather-upholstered chairs. Gracious waiters rave about the antipasto bar, which promises 40 types of cured meats, seafood, vegetables, and cheeses for patrons to mix and match. Italian-American entrees include steaks, pastas, veal scaloppini, Maine lobster, and thin crust pizza. Cannolis and profiteroles make a sweet finish.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

As big as it is, Bond 45 does fill up. If you're stopping in for dinner before heading to a Broadway show, be sure to book a table in advance.

Look Good

This place is good for groups, but keep in mind that a 17.5-percent service charge will be added to the bill for parties of 8 or more.

The Extras

Bond's mozzarella bar offers buffalo mozzarella imported from Campagna, house-made bocconcini fior di latte and creamy burrata.

User Reviews for Bond 45

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

07/25/2008 Posted by jan451

Possibly the worst meal i've had in nyc. How you ruin something as basic as "brick oven chicken" is beyond me. the presentation was almost as disgusting as the food - 4 dried out potatoes and a shriveled chicken carcass. Having eaten in many actual Italian restaurants in new york, i had high hopes for a good meal and instead paid far too much for lousy " italian" food. They say the chef is from Italy, he should go back and see how they do it. The only saving grace was our waitress, she was a real pistol

Pros: service

Cons: everything else

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We went twice last week - once for dinner, once for lunch. The 8 oz. filet is amazing - so tender, perfectly cooked rare, no salt/pepper needed. Also, go for the antipasti sampler and get the baked zucchini w/parm.

Pros: Great steaks, fish and very reasonable prices

Cons: Looks a little over NEON outside, but this place is killer.
