   Great food and ambiance - I thought the menu was really Interesting and had something for everyone. The only critique would be about the service. They rushed us to order and then forgot about us for 30 minutes as we waited for the check

   Very good food in a unique and charming (though tight) space; can get noisy with a large group just sitting a foot away. And I am talking about the "garden room", not the dining room and bar (perfectly fine, but nondescript) when you enter the restaurant. Friendly and efficient service. But don't book this restaurant if a. you are not absolutely sure you can made it; they threaten a $25 cancellation fee per person, if you cancel less than 24 hours ahead or b. you have people with walking disabilities in your party; as you have to negotiate several steps. Definitely not wheelchair accessible; though you probably make it on crutches.

   Niño - It's a perfect dinner date to take your significant other to celebrate special occasions. Food was Delicious and the room was decorated with flowers. The place is small and tight but nothing matters when the person you love is enjoying the view and she's sitting in front of you.

   The food was bland and strange. We love atheists food but this was not good.

   Beautiful 'old home' setting on quiet West Village street. Food was good but a bit pricey, limited in variety, and service was below par for this type of restaurant. I would recommend to a friend for ambience and decent Thai food but not rave about it

   The food was pretty good! One of the better thai fusion food around town. The service was a little weird, I would say they’re not friendly, rarely smile, and just ruins the whole dining experience. The restaurant is very beautiful though

   Nice staff, good food, way too cold to be seated in the garden.

   I actually came to Pinto Garden for dinner which so delicious! When I saw they offered afternoon tea, I was ecstatic and invited my friends. When we got there, they gave us brunch menus but we requested to get the afternoon tea menu. Our waiter seemed very confused and gave us the drinks menu instead. When I showed him the menu on the website, he went back and gave us the correct menu's. That wasn't the main issue, but it got us wondering if this was even a thing here. We asked how many platters (said it comes with sandwiches, homemade scones, clotted cream, jam, homemade pastries) were enough for five people and our waiter wasn't sure at all. He had to read the menu and then said maybe two. Keep in mind that two of these are 60 dollars. He also told us that they only had two teas out of the six listed. At this point it felt as if no one had ever asked for afternoon tea here. After around 40 mins of waiting, we saw a woman drop off our food to the kitchen and we were like what is going on. Then they came out with the two very small three-tired platters. At this point we were impressed that something was even put together. They didn't have the scones and the sandwiches were tiny. Imagine small squares of white bread with the crust cut off, mayo and then cucumbers or a sliver of smoked salmon. The clotted cream was straight up butter. The pastries were good but it was finger food, not a meal. It just was not enough food for five people. We asked for another platter and that took another 30 mins where the woman had to come back and deliver the food. At this point we were just hungry, disappointed and confused. I'll give it to the waiter for trying, but I just wish that they had told us that they didn't do afternoon tea. I mean if they did, something needs to change. The worst part was that two of those platters was $60. Not worth it at all. My conclusion: Pinto Garden for dinner is great! Great atmosphere, great service. But DO NOT do the afternoon tea.

    Staff was very rude pressing they had to close only one hour from sitting at table as per our reservation time. Dinner and drinks were not even finished while desert was out of question. Although food was good, the service was absolutely poor and staff rude. Don’t even try!
