Bond 45 Italian Kitchen Steak

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.

Editor's 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.

Forks for coffee and gelato?

HOw does a restaurant that charges over $30 for a pizza not have t spoons? Though our waiter was great and the food fine, the fact that the restaurant was out of spoons for our coffee and dessert turned an ok dinner into a I would never go back" experience.

Pros: Great Service
Cons: Can't supply silverware

Very tasty and very romantic

by ameathead

We went to eat here after randomly looking for a place after a Broadway show. THe place is HUGE but was quite empty by the time we got there. We had an extremely nice and attentive waitress. The food was superb and we thought the price was acceptable.

Pros: Excellent food and ambiance

A definite YES for pre theatre great meal

by elsushi921

Perfect for pre theatre, close to everything, a cut above most in the area, and not a tourist trap feel. The staff is great and aware that you have to make a show... they also have opinions of the shows also so you get good insight. The food is wonderful and service beautiful. Don;t be afraid to split a dinner so that you aren't too full for the show. Love the place.

Pros: great food and close to the show
Cons: if it were not in the theatre district I would go more
