I was so excited to finally try this classic spot! Service overall: 10/10. The restrooms were clean, which is always a good sign. For food, we tried the Black Aged Burger (medium) and… wow. Honestly, it was orgasmic 😂 A burger without cheese? Yes — and it was incredible. You could really taste the flavor of the meat: soft, juicy, buttery, and perfectly cooked. We didn’t have cocktails, but we ordered wine and it was great. Also, they definitely pour more than 4oz, which makes it even better 😉 Totally recommend!

Order the GRILLED OYSTERS!! They are spectacular. Always a great time at Minetta. We made our reservation for late lunch or early dinner and this was lovely around 3pm on a weekday. Still a great menu. Cocktails are great. Husband got the espresso martini and it was very well made as was my Bloody Mary. I ordered us both prosecco as well that was delicious. The waitstaff was wonderful- Ashlyn was our server and she was very accommodating as was the manager on duty, Clark. From the fresh warm bread to our entrees everything was delicious. The Duck Ragu with Pappardelle pasta was great, al dente, homemade to perfection. The filet mignon was cooked very well, charred nicely on the outside. Sides was lovely and the desert was rich and delicious! Highly recommend for a nice brunch or dinner or even just cocktails and the grilled oysters.

We boldly walked in on a Friday night for our anniversary and were seated at the bar after an hour wait - not too bad! You go for the atmosphere and the service, it was lovely. Drinks were delicious and we especially loved the squab and the chocolate soufflé (pictures don’t show how big it is, we couldn’t finish it! Despite our best efforts). I might get hate for this but the burger was just all right for my tastes. I like cheeseburgers and don’t know enough about beef to appreciate the dryagedness🤷 we would 100% go back for a special occasion.

I arrived at 430 expecting to stand in line for a counter seat. While we waited we had rhubarb Sophie which was so refreshing and perfect balance of sour and sweet. It was Mother’s Day so I knew it was going to be busy, but the hostess was able to seat us for a table with a 90 min limit, as there was a reservation coming in after us. They were so accommodating and we didn’t feel rushed at all. We ordered the maple bourbon and dirty martini which were both cold and delicious. We then had grilled oysters and French onion soup to start, plus we ate the entire complimentary baguette with butter. It was definitely the best FOS I’ve ever had and my bf who isn’t even a fan of oysters devoured them. For our entree we shared the black label burger with cheese and the cavatelli. They were both 10/10 but the fries were a little overcooked for my liking. When we sat down we ordered the chocolate souflee, because we had heard it had an hour prep time. It was the best dessert Ive ever had. Would absolutely return for more!

Stopped here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. I've been wanting to eat here and sadly the place had no open reservations. Luckily we walked in when it opened and found a couple of bar seats. I had the French Onion Soup, the Black Label Burger and a cocktail. Every thing was awesome. As you can see from the photo of the check the prices are brutal, but honestly all the food was amazing. Everything was top notch. Even the fries that came with the burger were great. If you're ok with the price you won't be disappointed. The staff was great, the cocktails were tasty. I went with a buddy before a Knicks game but would definitely come here again with my wife since it was so good...
