Great date place

by Kswow at Citysearch

I took a girl here on a first date and it was perfect for us. I called in a reservation that afternoon (friday night). I called to say that we were running late, but the host did his best to find us a great spot upon entry regardless.

THe staff were all warm and friendly. The drinks deadly (Misty, Scenes of the City, Groovy). Food was delightful: Gambas, Sea Bass, herb-roasted chicken. Music played was cuban jazz: Buena vista social club (they played the whole album which is one of my favs), and while you could hear it in the background, it wasn't too loud as this seems to be a place where the lost art of conversation can be rediscovered.

All in all, it was a great spot for a relaxing, unhurried evening where my taste buds were aroused and my date impressed.

• Pros: Warm and welcoming atmosphere; outstanding cocktails
• Cons: hmmm. i can't think of any.

Cocktail geniuses!!!

by nutbut303 at Citysearch

Every glass we ordered was mixed perfectly. I mean just imagine, I ordered the Groovy and it had crushed ice with shiso flavors. It was getting more tasty as time went by and not more watered down. The cocktails are just superb and unlike anything else. You can tell that the waiters are true, trained and serious mixologists. The location definitely makes it literally a hidden gem. I hope it stays around for a while and have people acquire a whole new outlook on what a drink should be. GENIUS!

• Pros: Incredible drinks
• Cons: None

Cocktails served up with old world perfection

by elicaskye at Citysearch

Hands down, the best-made cocktails in Tribeca. I came to this easy-to-miss underground spot on a recommendation from a manager/friend of mine at The Brandy Library (also excellent). Outstanding cocktails made with old world perfection. Just sit at the bar and gaze, as they literally craft your drink...reminiscent of care taken by the boys at the Waldorf and the Plaza (when it used to exist). Do not leave without trying the Misty. For scotch/whiskey lovers, I recommend an Ardbeg Single Malt. I was pleasantly surprised that B Flat serves Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey - hard to locate in the city, especially for the not-so-Irish.

• Pros: Exceptional cocktails, underground, old-world charm, jazz ambiance
• Cons: The phone number and address are public
