What People Are Saying About Ardesia

Featured Review

Mature wine connoisseurs nibble on cheese plates and house-made charcuterie at this off-the-grid bar and lounge in Hell’s Kitchen. Grab a stool at the marble-topped bar or kick back on comfy corduroy banquettes while selecting from an extensive wine list that offers a plethora of exotic and classic bottles and wines by the glass (ranging from $7 to $18). Drop pendant lights and chrome pedestal cocktail tables make for a clean-lined space that is modern and industrial; an outdoor patio can accommodate seating for 30 patrons. Highlights on the food menu include a slate of six artisanal cheeses…

Editor's Tips

Food Served:
Inexpensive gourmet snacks such as chicken liver mouse, New York-style pretzels and goat milk ricotta crostini are all $7.
The Extras:
Ardesia's close proximity to the Theater District makes it a perfect alternative to the area's more touristy options.
Fun Fact:
Ardesia is co-owned by Mandy Oser of Le Bernardin.

Good pre-Terminal 5 Hang

by Frederick Loren at Citysearch

Stopped here before a show...just 4 blocks away and good spot for wine before rocking out & getting sweaty. We liked the 2 argentinian reds on the list...favorite dish was the burrata/ramp pesto special, creamy, crunchy and garlicky. Duck banh mi the winner over pastrami, of the two sandwiches. Snack-size, but filling, maybe a little bit pricey. Homemade ice cream sandwich was good too, with dulce de leche. Recommended.

  • Pros: Wine list
  • Cons: Seating could be more cushy...

Sleek and comfortable new spot

by mevpesses at Citysearch

Little larger than your typical NYC wine bar, but still cozy and comfortable. Delicious pork belly bites over apple salad and fabulous cheese. Highly recommend this refreshing new spot.
