What People Are Saying About Whym
The Owner

"Whym concentrates on pepped-up remixes of hearty traditional dishes, playing with classics the way their logo toys with form (it reads the same even when it's flipped). Take for example the chopped salad, which here features asparagus, bosc pear, beet cubes, crumbled feta, and a basil vinaigrette. The best thing about the dish though is that it works and is delicious: this is not a reinvention for originality's sake, it is an exploration with real purpose."

The Scene – Locals, well-suited colleagues, and third daters keep this chic retreat abuzz. The decor, with its chocolate lacquered tabletops, white birch floors and deep red accents, is upscale comfort, as is the menu. Smaller parties dominate the front, while larger parties sit at built-in booths, which are punctuated by whimsical rectangular disco chandeliers. – – The Food – What makes the "sexy mushrooms" sexy?

Great Pre Theater Dinner
by asfoodie at Citysearch
Went to Whym for pre theater dinner the other night and forgot to make a reservation. The restaurant was very busy and the manager Anthony was very welcoming and found us a table after a quick coctail at the bar.
We have been to Whym before but never wrote a review.
The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. Had 3 of their new Buddha's Hand Cocktails...incredable!
Do not go without having the smore'swich...make sure you share it. Love, love, love Whym and its staff.
- Pros: Friendly Staff
- Cons: Popular

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!
by csteineker at Citysearch
I went to Whym with my girlfriends and we had a fabulous experience! The service was AMAZING and the people surprisingly nicer than most restaurants. All of our entrees were super delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more. Really the only negative I guess would be that it was a little crowded but then again we went on a Friday night. The host was extremely nice and accomodating so we did not mind waiting a couple of minutes. Definitely would recommend my friends to check it out.

Great dining experience had by all!
by HJLYNN82 at Citysearch
Whym is one of my favorite restaurants in the City! My friends and I had a wonderful dinner there just the other night, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone I know. I have started ordering delivery from Whym to my office, and all my colleagues keep stealing my delivery menu. Please check it out if you have not done so already!!
- Pros: Solid service and delicious food
