Trademark Bar + Kitchen Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Wife had the grilled chicken, kale, and quinoa salad. It was great."

• "Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the burrata+knots and fennel sausage flatbread."
• "The food was delicious. The atmosphere of the space is inviting and fun."

Cons:

• "The food doesn't take too long to get to the table, but when it does, it's only good. It's far from bad, but it's not 'great' either."
• "The food was atrocious tbh - I had the Short Rib Hash which is priced at $21 and it was literally just meat & potatoes in a cast iron pan."
• "All the burgers were over done but my wife's was pretty burnt."
• "Honestly if you can't make a decent omlette just don't have brunch."
• "I ordered the ravioli, and it was hands-down the WORST pasta dish I've ever had in my life."
• "Food was overpriced, below-average quality, and the portions were small."

Service

Pros:

• "The most incredible service - so welcoming and thoughtful."

Cons:

• "Service isnt amazing either... I will never ever come back here."
• "The only thing was the service that was very slow - we sat down and had to constantly get someone to get us water, order, and get our check."
• "But everything took way too long to come. Even sodas were very long in coming."
• "However, the servers were disorganized and forgot things frequently."
• "The service moved soooooo slowly."
• "Food was decent, but the service left a lot to be desired."
• "It took 30 minutes to get our drinks and an hour to get our food."

Ambiance

Pros:

• "The ambience offers a great intimate vibe where you can share a meal and good conversation."
• "The atmosphere was elegantly Manhattan, with appropriate mood lighting and just the right measure of bourgeois attitude."
• "It's a very charming atmosphere in a very nostalgic style."
• "Very French like cafe atmosphere."
• "The place has got a really good vibe, it wasn't too loud, and I'd highly recommend this place for a date night."
• "Vibes are also cute - there were cute lights hung up, a bit dark, and quiet enough for conversation."
• "Very cool vibes and a great atmosphere."

Cons:

• "Incredibly loud, and pretty mediocre beer selection."
• "Nothing really stood out as unique about the experience, though save for feeling like the building was in a weird basement or cellar."
• "Note that the very front and back rooms are a little noisy with the background music."
• "The noise level was so elevated that my husband & I were literally shouting across the table to hear each other."
• "The other downside is dining space (the pricy area) is crammed next to the loud busy bar."
• "Great food and drinks! But the table we are sitting at is SO UNCOMFORTABLE!"
• "Unfortunately it's pricey for what you get."

Value

Pros:

• "They had this absolutely bonkers deal called 'wine & dine.'"
• "Fair prices and a good vibe."
• "Rare Find in Midtown! As in the pricing was reasonable and the food Exceptional."
• "The business lunch special (3 courses for $21) is a go-to for me and colleagues."
• "The 2-3 course lunch is a good value and includes some nice options."

Cons:

• "Ordered a vegan risotto cause a friend I was with is vegan. Paid 29 (+taxes) for salty rice, green beans and mushrooms."
• "Turns out, our server didn't know how much it was, and the upcharge was $10, bringing an eggs benedict to $31."
• "Food was overpriced, below-average quality, and the portions were small."
• "If you can't do vegan food just say so and definitely don't charge the same as the seafood risotto."
• "When someone is foolish enough to order a dozen cookies for $39 along with their unneccesary reservation, make sure they're ready."
