I ended up posting up at the bar for much longer than I originally anticipated but had a fantastic time. Started with happy hour oysters and a cocktail and migrated to this leviathan charcuterie board and paired glasses of wine. The Press Room has definitely evolved from my first visit, when it had just opened, but the changes are all for the better. I was impressed by the variety of wines offered by the glass and the food menu was equally robust.
The Press Room has amazing food and drinks! Loved the romantic vibe it created too. We had happy hour oysters followed by their charcuterie board and scallops. Not only were the meats and cheeses delicious, but their sourdough bread is to die for!
Extremely cute and classy, almost speakeasy-like atmosphere. I loved the candles!! Only had one drink, so didn’t get a feel for the range of cocktails or food on the menu but it was a good drink!!! I liked the balance of smoke and sweetness in the lost love!Dine in: Yes
Quite intimate, low key place in the basement but totally totally amazing! Killer drinks, our fav were: lions tale, old fashioned. Must must try! Also the brussel sprouts and kale salad is another level. Aother thing is they have limited menu and they are good at it. You wont find any french fries there : Over all really good, loved the setting and the vibe.
Cool place, very good vibes - dishes were kind of unique squash and scallops, tahini brownie brownie was a little burnt though - I’d give it another try, wasn’t blown away but neat spot Ordered: -grilled octopus, really good -sunchokes, okay but we’re also in grilled octopus so overkill -scallops w squash and bacon -sea bass -sourdough cacio Pepe kind of oily wouldn’t get again but was unique -tahini brownie -panna cotta -Italian doughnuts tasted like dominos cinnamon sticks so we’re unremarkable but the raspberry sauce was bomb as hell
The bar downstairs had a great vibe. Me and a few friends ended up eating outside on the patio. The food was ok. Carrots were tasty but a few of them were a bit too charred and I couldn’t eat them. The Brussels sprouts were good but had a little too much sauce. The charcuterie board wasn’t bad. The steak frites were well done when we asked for medium rare but the server was kind enough to ask us if we wanted a new one or if we just wanted it off the bill. Cocktails were good. I’d like to check out the downstairs bar in the future.
We visited for their restaurant week and had their prix fixe menu. One would assume that with a prix fixe menu, and a half full restaurant on a Thursday night, the dinner would go fairly efficiently but our dinner was about 2 hours long for a 3 course dinner. While we understand and appreciate slow service, wait times of up to 40 minutes between courses are a little ridiculous. The overall food was okay, somewhat bland at times, especially the potato dish we had. Our dishes were also served a bit too cold for our liking and texture of food were either not crisp enough or too dry. The location is fun and the concept is unique, but unfortunately everything fell flat on the evening we visited.
This is one the lowest key fine dining experiences ever. The decor feels like you know a secret nobody else's knows about. The food however is amazing, so delicious you almost don't want to tell anyone else because you want to keep it your little secret. The VEAL TARTARE and LAMB SHANK . Staff was great, attentive and knowledgeable of the entire menu. Do yourself a favor Treat your taste buds for dessert with the CHOCOLATE . Me and my Wife will be back on our next trip from New York.
Love it here, great neighborhood bar. Stopped in with my girlfriend for a glass of wine and the German chocolate dessert, really enjoyed both. The staff is very attentive and sweet. Loved the ambiance, dimly lit tasty done. Will definitely return.
Cute little hidden place!!! Very cozy. Scallops were almost perfect but it was still a tad overcooked. Cauliflower was a bit too acidic. Broccolini were great, especially with the raisin and crunch. Really attentive staffs too.
