This review isn’t towards our bartender cause she was very nice and the service she provided was awesome. My 2 star review is for our server who took our order. We went for happy hour in which upon arrival the hostess was very nice, greeted us and told us we can have a seat anywhere. We sat a table across from the bar. A woman approached us asking us what did we want to order with no menu (I kind of sensed her sarcasm) we kindly asked for a menu in which she stepped away and had a few moments with the hostess at the door. She then came back and told us we’d have to sit at the bar if we wanted to drink. Another woman stepped in (I assume the restaurant manager) and told us we can stay at the table as we did not know that we’d have to sit at the bar (hostess failed to mention that). I didn’t really like her vibes so at that point the bartender was our sever and I really loved how thorough she was! My point is if you don’t like what you do, don’t do it. Oh and the nerve of the 20% tip, if I had the option to say give the 20% to the bartender, I definitely would’ve! Won’t be returning though sorry to say!

For the most part the food was not good. The steak was too charred, Mac and cheese tasted like box macaroni with the powder cheese. Waitress (Kati) was not that friendly. She seemed to got mad from the steak complaint to us telling her our dinner was on separate tabs when she brought the ticket. Nice restaurant but the food is not good. Go there at your own risk to spend unnecessary money.

Had a couple salads off the brunch menu on a Saturday afternoon. Very tasty and good portion size. Could see having a bigger meal for a date night here. Very nice setting and friendly staff.

Delicious restaurant with great meat. I had some great drinks and food. Can't wait to make my way back to this restaurant for the good service and the ambiance was pretty nice here. I was definitely stuffed after coming here with some of my friends and family. Definitely recommend this restaurant to go with friends and family. Great place

Pretty (but a bit dark, windowless) restaurant in a midtown location I hadn't been to (used to like the 3rd Ave spot). Ordered a burger. Medium. Came totally overcooked and well done. They were nice and offered a replacement. But when you pay those prices you don't want your lunch partner to sit and eat alone while I wait for them to make another burger. So I ate half and left the rest. They should have comped me. The waiter who served us disappeared mid- service. It was a disappointment. I hear the owner died recently so maybe the quality has slipped I don't know. But I t's not on par with other restaurants of that level, and I probably won't be going back.

My twin sister and I celebrated our birthday here last week and it did not disappoint. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. I had the Chilean sea bass and my sister had the pork chop, both were perfectly cooked. My sister and I shared the mashed potatoes and carrots. Both sides were well seasoned. The only points lost was on the cocktail, it could've been stronger for the price, lol. I will definitely be going back.

Please have the male bar tenders cut their hair or wear a hair net. I may be old school but hair in drin or hair on bar is not cool

From start to finish, a great experience. The ambience and vibes were on point. Great cocktails and food was excellent. We ended up befriending the couple next to us and stayed for 3 hours chatting with them, with no pressure from the staff to leave. Highly recommend T Bar as your next night out.
So, the food here is good. When I go out to eat I like to have a combo of both ambience and food. This place checks both of those boxes. The inside feels modern. There a bar area with stools and booth, then other dining levels. There's steps involved to go anywhere other than the bar, so just keep that in mind on case anyone in your party has issues with stairs. Looks like there's private dining rooms upstairs too. It seems there's only 2 bathrooms in the entire place, and they are single use. I guess privacy is nice, but also can be annoying to have to wait. Due to the location, the clientele seems to be 30's, 40's+. I would say the demo seems to skew older. Not a good or bad thing, but just a good-to-know. Drink prices are ok. Not the cheapest thing, but around $20 a drink. Personally, if I went here again I think it would be to get a drink or two with a friend and order an appetizer, rather than the place to go on a Saturday night. But, overall I left this place with a neutral feeling. Not amazing, not horrible.

We came here for a holiday meal and we had a lovely dinner at the T Bar. There are two floors at the restaurant which is an upgrade from their old location which was just one floor. It was a lively evening as there were many other families at the spot and the bar on the first floor was full. They have a good selection of appetizers. We got the pizza flatbread which we were able to choose between zucchini and margarita (we got a pizza with half and half). We also got a chicken soup and octopus as appetizers. The chicken soup my sister commented was delightful and the octopus was nice and tender. There also was olive bread and olive oil instead of normal bread and butter which we enjoyed with our appetizers before our entrees. For entrees, we all got a seafood dish. Even though T Bar is known to be a steakhouse, the fish we got was very good. We got two black sesame crusted tunas, branzino, and Chilean sea bass. I really enjoyed the Chilean sea bass and the branzino as they were warm and hearty dishes. The meaty branzino came with endives and capers and was very flavorful. The Chilean sea bass was laid on top of a bed of nicely cooked and seasoned bok choy. The tuna came on top of a bed of seaweed and was garnished with ginger. We also got three side dishes which were creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The creamed spinach and Mac and cheese were my favorite as they were both very rich. The mashed potatoes were also very good and creamy. Desserts were heavenly! (And I'm not usually a dessert girly) We got the banana parfait millefeuille with coconut and caramel sauce, a strawberry sundae shortcake with meringue, brandy and cream and a warm apple crisp that came with caramel drizzle and vanilla ice cream. The banana parfait was sooo amazing. The mille-feuille was delicious and crispy with nutty coconut flavors. There was vanilla ice cream in between the layers of crisp coconut cookie. And the caramelized bananas were delightful. The strawberry short cake was super moist and came with delicious strawberry ice cream and wonderfully sweet strawberries. There was also a crispy crunchy element with the meringue and there was also a big dollop of yummy whipped cream on top. The apple crisp was nice and warm but I would definitely rank the banana parfait and strawberry shortcake above the apple crisp. Overall we had a delicious meal with delightful desserts and the vibes were amazing for the evening. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food came out all at reasonable times.

Cozy spot with fun spacious bar. Came in for a cocktail and had some delicious guacamole and chips. Good service and ambience. Not too crowded so easy to converse. Bathroom right near the bar which is convenient.

Can we give it 5 and 0 stars?The new TBar is beautifully decorated and well-staffed. The food was exactly as it’s always been—tasty and generous servings. We used to love this place in its original location.After a very good meal, a new 4-top was seated next to us. One of the men started vaping at the table. Seriously. We complained to the manager who said “I told him to stop, I’m not going to do anything else about it.” We paid the bill (nothing comped, no offer of free dessert) and on the way out learned why the situation had been so egregiously mishandled. The vaper is the owner’s best friend. So if you want to dine in a restaurant where the owner has utter and complete disregard for his customers, come on over to T-Bar!
