What People Are Saying About Park Blue
The Owner
Park Blue
Owner
Park Blue restaurant and wine bar is one of New York's most unique experiences, specializing in a diverse, extensive wine list by the half bottle that is unparalleled.
This sexy, sophisticated lounge offers delicious small plate food in a warm and cozy atmosphere. The menu features grilled octopus, seared sea scallops, and the best mini cheeseburgers in the city. The stunning white onyx bar is a perfect spot to enjoy inventive, specialty cocktails with friends.
For group events, Park Blue's private room is ideal for intimate gatherings up to 35 people. This classic, NYC lounge is perfect for pre or after-theatre and is close to Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Broadway. Drinks after work, casual dining, or late night reveling, there is no better place in midtown than Park Blue restaurant and wine bar.

The Scene
Dark wood and midnight blue color the interior of this long and lean wine bar. The tall tables and low banquets, the elegant softly glowing sconces, and the well-stocked, back-lit bar are all sleek and chic while the staff is warm and inviting. The seasoned maitre'd, who also happens to be the owner, greets every guest.
The Draw
Sophisticated bar food, a skilled mixologist, and a killer wine list entice a classy crowd after work and after hours. When the five o'clock whistle blows, Midtown professionals stop by for crispy crab fritters, classic cocktails and specialty drinks--try the pleasantly pulpy strawberry and lychee rum punch or champagne with blueberry puree. After the midnight hour, local restaurant staffers, including chefs and sommeliers from the nearby Time Warner Center, stop by post-shift to ponder the wide selection of half-size wine bottles and savor late-night breakfasts of lobster eggs benedict.

Went here on a 1st date recently. Nice loungy atmosphere, very good service, tasty tapas and a very good drink selection. Plan on returning again.

What a mistake!! From the minute we arrived, the female bartender was rude and unaccommodating. Every drink we ordered was met with some sort of "problem". Example - I ordered 2 bottles of champagne (on top of our $400+ tab) and she refused to allow me to pay for the bottles separately. After I protested, she sold them to my but added 20% gratuity to my check!! Overall, the staff was unpleasant, rude and utterly unwelcoming to my group. I would NEVER return and hope that in this recessed economy, you will spend your hard-earned dollars elsewhere!!!

Excellent wine selection(many by the half bottle), good beer selection and a friendly staff make Park Blue a great choice. They serve tasty food as well in case you don't want to leave hungry. A Very nice spot indeed!
