no frills affordable decent bar food

by nycluv

Went to NYC for an audition at ASB on 2/6/09... Guests are not allowed to watch auditions therefore me & friend stepped out for bite to eat. This place is great if you are looking for no frills restaurant that is affordable. Had a $9.00 glass of wine (Chardonnay) (all wines about 8.50-9.00) however the glass was less than half full. However when I mentioned this to my friend within earshot of the bartender the next glass was filled more than halfway. Good bartending in my book. I had the Serloin Burger which was cooked exactly as I ordered & was pretty good (only a burger ...pretty hard to mess up unless served completely raw.) There are 2 entrances however if you go through the wrong door (like we did) the waitress at the Italian restaurant will let you walk through to Peters as both restaurants occupy same space which are not closed off from one another. To sum up: good place to go if you are not looking for anything pricey/trendy & just want to eat & relax with a beer/wine.

• Pros: affordable & quick
• Cons: slight bleach smell but at least you know the place has been cleaned

they make you feel comfortable

by lemonodell

I give this place 5 stars because they do a fantastic job on presentation, on service, on wine selection. They make you feel comfortable and most importantly, I didn't get that "snootiness" from anyone that worked there, unlike many of the restaurants in New York and here that I've been to.

It was a great experience, and now I can check it off my list of restaurants to go to...

Missing Menu Items

by EricBNY

If you go here you will not find a price list for beer or soda. So if you order a Coke, it is a 8 ounce classic bottle, and the cost is $4. That is way to steep. As for no beer price listing, that must be a violation of some SLA rule. The burger was OK.

• Pros: Close to Lincoln Center
• Cons: Their menu doesn't tell you what you need to know about beverage costs.

Good service, minimal beer, watch the wine!

Watch out, there are two entrances. Make sure you're meeting your pals on the right side: The Bar Entrance or the Restaurant Entrance. We sat at a table in the restaurant. The Maitre d' and server were efficient and accommodating. Not super friendly, but really good at their jobs. The beer list was small, 2 on draft (Bass and something else) and maybe a half dozen bottled beers. An interesting... er... marketing ploy... is that the restaurant sets each table with a bottle of wine. Like it's included. If you open the bottle, they charge you for it. Our bottle of SHAZZ, said on the label AWARD WINNER, BEST WINE UNDER 2000-YEN (about $18). Mike asked the waitress how much it would be if we opened the bottle. "Forty dollars," she said. --Drink Club NYC is a roving group of NYC drinkers

• Pros: accommodating staff, table AND bar service
• Cons: over-priced but tempting wine

Fantastic food

by epcott

We were looking for a reasonably priced spot in which to "grab a bite" before heading up to Lincoln Center. Saw Peter's on line and we gave it a try. We were so delighted with the warm, cozy atmosphere, the friendly wait staff and the menu. Tasty wine selection, and fairly wide menu choices were found. The best thing was the pre-fixed menu! I had the chicken with sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese which was mouth wateringly delicious. The salad, bread and dessert were also fantastic. All around a great spot! We would definitely return!
