Our experience was amazing. The staff was charming! We had a nice side booth in the back of the restaurant and it didn't feel overcrowded. The steak and frites was by far the best I've ever had, highly recommend. We will be coming back for sure!

This is a great place with a great atmosphere and really good food. It's a neighborhood gem that I am happy has remained open. Also the staff was genuine and attentive. It's a great place and to top it off, the owner is a great person. Definitely a place to frequent.

I've been going to West Bank for over 30 years. Steve Olsen and his staff know what to do and do it well. The Eggs Benedict were perfect and the location can't be beat if you are going to theater or Hells Kitchen in general. I'm still a fan after all these years

A most delightful lunch experience! Everything I had was amazing. The shrimp were plump and perfectly cooked. The calamari was perfectly fried and oh so tender. The piece de resistance was the butterscotch toffee pudding! Fans of browned butter should definitely have that pudding. Service was excellent and attentive. Friendly, no wait time. Owner stopped by to check on us. Great vibes!

Started coming here over 20 years ago and they still have their famous mushroom risotto balls with truffle sauce which is a must try. Great place to stop in for a drink, a snack or a meal. When I worked up the street we used to come here for drinks and a snack after work. Great bartender. Also great place for a dinner before a show, the wait staff is great to make sure you are in and out in time for your show.

Stopped by before seeing “Hamilton”. We sat at the bar and was served by Steven. Great conversationalist! It made our trip so much more enjoyable. Service was outstanding and food and drinks were delicious. Thank you Steven from Orlando FL

I went on a day trip to NYC. I want to check out the theatre theme. I chose this spot! The food is amazing including my go-to drink expresso martini.

I dropped by for brunch on a freezing day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I wanted something hot so I ordered the soup of the day which I didn't know what it was and risotto balls. It turned out very good and tasty. Ambience was very good and charming. The price was very reasonable so highly recommended.

Slightly upscale but also casual restaurant around the Off-Broadway theaters. Apps were excellent (shrimp tacos and black bean soup). We had the Turkey dinner (on special) and baby back ribs. Both were good. As strange as it sounds, the French fries that came with the ribs were excellent. Nice beer and wine selection, as well. Fair pricing and excellent service. Great for before or after an Off -Broadway show.
