I go to this place a lot or used to anyway. It's in a great location close to my office but what is going on with the neverending renovation?? It's just annoying. Get it over with already! Also, the waitstaff used to be consistently good and attentive before but I can't say that from my recent visits there.

Pros: Food

Cons: Inattentive waitstaff and the neverending renovation!!

This was our first time in NYC. We had a wonderful time. At the end of each day after sightseeing, we would stop in this bar for a couple of drinks. All of the staff was incredibly friendly making us feel like regulars. The manager and owner were fantastic as well. I can't say enough good things about this bar. The food and the drinks are great as well, but it's the atmosphere and the service that made this bar one of our favorite places to sit and relax.

This was a great resturant, with excellent personable service. The food was good and out quickly. I would recommend this resturant to anyone in the area. We were on a tight timeframe and made it in and out in plenty of time for the show.

Pros: service and food

On the invitation of a client we met for happy hour here.It was our first time here and as our office is 3 blocks away it was a very pleasant find.The place is much bigger than expected and there was 2 bars and ample space for our group.The crowd was mostly corporate and the atmosphere was light and fun.The host made sure we had space at the bar and the lady behind the bar was accommodating,witty and full of Irish charm..The only con was the ladies restroom was down stairs and it was difficult to find with the crowd.Looking forward to St Patricks' day there

This is a great bar. I went to catch the game and stayed for the rest of the night. The drinks are poured promptly and properly and the staff is attentive and very professional. I also enjoyed the food, especially the Irish pub food, which is my favorite. My group had a wonderfull time and I want to thank Emmett for his attentive and generous service. This place is a keeper. I took my mom there the next night before we went to see Wicked, and she had a great time. It's the perfect pre-theatre stop since the service will make sure you make your curtain. I recommend it highly as your midtown local.

Pros: food, drink, atmosphere, music, sports tv, midtown location

Cons: bathroom in the basement, I like everything on one floor

After a very strong recommendation from a friend and always on the look out for new places in the area. I spent an afternoon here and had a wonderful time.Very friendly welcome,nice staff and the food was prompt and tasty.I left feeling very happy. Later that evening I stopped by again to check if my co workers were present and was very rudely attacked by the doorman, as I tried to use the bathroom.He was rude offensive and clearly is lacking in social skills.Once my co workers who belong to a large company in the area spotted me his attitude changed completely.Never in my life have I been treated with such hostility. Its such a shame as I had such an enjoyable time earlier. I won't be back.

A friend had recommended this place before leaving for New York, and so after a long day of sightseeing it caught my eye on the way back to the hotel. I ordered the nachos, and they were some of the best I've ever had! Their prices were very reasonable, our wait person was friendly, and we especially appreciated the relaxed atmosphere right in the middle of the city. But the best part was the service I received AFTER I left. As mentioned, after a long day of sightseeing, I was very tired and left my package of gifts and souvenirs in the restaurant. I didn't discover this until a few days later as I was packing to leave at about 1:00 a.m. I called the next day and spoke with Emmett who had the package. He was so nice, and even though I'm sure it was somewhat of a hassle to deal with, he was as gracious as could be and packaged it all up for shipping back to me! I would have recommended Harmony View Bar and Grill anyway, but now I will most definitely sing their praises to anyone heading to Manhattan! I know I will be back! Thank you Emmett for the great food and outstanding service!

We went out with high expectations because of reading some great reviews and we were not disappointed. When we arrived we thought we had definitely picked the wrong place because there were very few people inside and they were trolling for customers outside. The atmosphere was very nice, but we were seated at a front window to make it look more popular for passing tourists. The drinks were okay, but the food blew us away. I don't think of Irish food as a culinary breeding ground, but the chicken potpie here was amazing, covered in philo dough instead of the traditional, boring pasty dough. The Shepards Pie was also quite nice. The staff was very friendly and when we asked for a modfiication on our drink they were happy to comply. Definitely recommended!

Pros: Food

Cons: Touristy

Where else in the city of New York can an "out of towner" walk into a bar for only the second time in thier life and have the bartender call you by name and know what you are drinking. Great food, great service, very friendly and the best prices I found in the area. There are a lot of places in the Times Square area with multi million dollar decors but this place has a million dollar staff. Thanks Cab and the rest of the crew. I had a blast. Harmony View: an oasis of frendliness in Manhatten. T.

Pros: Upbeat. Very reasonably priced. Convenient.

My friend and I wanted to meet up somewhere in the city that we could have good food and catch up. She chose this place because of the reviews it had gotten on citysearch, and I have to say it was an excellent choice. We went there on Saturday for brunch, not packed at all. The service was great. The hostess was polite and friendly. The wait staff were attentive. The manager came by a checked with us periodically that my friend and I were doing okay. Although the menu was not extensive, the food was really good, proving the being great at a few things is way better than being mediocre at many. Finally, the price of the items were surprisingly reasonable for that section of town. We spent $30 for the meal,yes that was cost of the entire meal ( we didn't order liquor). Will definite go back there.

Pros: food, service, price

Cons: none
