   If you weren’t sure if you should dine at Elgin, let this be your sign. My husband and I were spending the day in the city to later go to a jazz club to celebrate our anniversary. I searched for weeks to figure out where we should eat prior, and being that we would be in a tourist-y part of Manhattan, I didn’t want anything gimmicky. I looked for a good menu with nice reviews and a cool looking ambiance. This. Place. Is. It!!! The Elgin exceeded my husband and I’s expectations. We sat at the bar, ordered delicious specialty margaritas, which I may add, were perfectly crafted! We ordered the Saigon wings, tuna poke nachos, and we split the burger. All 10/10. Everything was perfectly seasoned and had great flavor. Aside from the food & drinks being fantastic, our bartender, who we later learned was the manager, Conor, will be the reason we continue coming back anytime we’re in the city. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us. He had great conversation and was incredibly hospitable not even knowing we were there to celebrate an anniversary until later. Conor was engaging and you could tell he was extremely passionate about the restaurant and cocktails, educating us about the liquors and processes of making each drink. When learning it was our anniversary he brought us a dessert and champagne to celebrate. He was incredibly kind — people like Conor are truly the reason I enjoy going out. Good food and drinks are great, but nothing will make me want to come back soon other than people like him! He truly made our experience one of a kind and so memorable. You have to go!!

   Enjoyed a nice pre-theater dinner at The Elgin. Food and service were excellent. Drink specials were terrific. Unfortunately our experience was marred by two things - we got stuck at a dark table in the back next to a stack of chairs under a huge TV, so we really missed the charming ambience of the restaurant. And when we ordered dessert the server told us they do not serve decaf coffee!

   The crowd was a bit rowdy, which is somewhat the area being so touristy. But overall, good food, good service.

   Arrived a little early and we were able to be seated right away! The ambience is really cozy and welcoming, beautiful bar, huge dining area. Service was awesome, we got waters right away, bussers were always on top of it. I was having dinner with an old friend from out of town and our server was perfect about pacing the meal and checking in. (Can’t remember her name, but she was tall, blonde, and just lovely!) She knew tons about the menu and was able to help me pick out some great vegan options! Really cool they have so many n/an options to drink. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

    Went for early dinner before Radio City show, so no wait. Very dark inside so we had to use our phones to see the menu. Food was ok, no complaints but nothing special. Service was great, attentive wait staff. It seems more like an after work chat, drink and snack scene. Several big screen TVs all around. But near the back we were among other diners and some families.
