Great fun to have a meal at this iconic restaurant! The decor is stunning. And the maitre’d was charming, taking time to greet us and to identify some of the wonderful paintings that cover the walls. Oh, and the food was good too. 😁

Eating at Sardi's makes any NYC Broadway theater experience complete. It's such a special place. Our most recent evening there was perfect. The entire team at Sardi's made us feel so welcome. The restaurant itself is charming, warm and fun with all of the celebrity caricatures. The food was delicious...a baby lettuce salad perfectly dressed, delicious pasta specials, and I had a lentil stew with polenta, which was just what a cold winter evening called for. I've been to Sardi's on many occasions, and it never disappoints.

Beautiful location and atmosphere Service was good. We ordered the lobster pasta and steak sandwich. Also the crabmeat appetizer. The lobster was spoiled so we sent it back. Was switched for a new plate and it out hesitation by staff. Excellent on the second one. The crabmeat avocado salad was disappointing. Just too mushy and no bread or cracker to accompany the item.
